a New Scientific Discovery.

nj. Grammc. of Paris, has invented an
electric machine which promises most
astonishing results-almost equal TO the /
finding Of another bonanza. and perhaps |
even more genernlIy beneficial in Its re-
suits to the Pacific Coast. IL is now |
under control of a Mr.. Werdermann,
whose agent r. r.. Hazard, OF the firm of
Hazard e. Co. London, has written
fnll Dissertation of it in letter to james
q Fair. The machine is the invention
Of Gramme. of Paris, and it is claimed
TO produce the galvsnic current 10 great
quantities, and
FOUR HUNDRED THINKS cHEAPER.
Than BY galvanic batteries. For tele
graphing, for the eclectric light, for cleo
tro plating IL is extensively used. At
| the present time the Houses of Parlia-
ment in London exhibit light Of such
wonderful power that ordinary printing
can be read at night at a distance of
three miles, and the greatest electro-plat-
ing house In the world, Christohe & Co.,
OF Paris. use ten Of these machines, and
no other. These things are demonstrated,
but the most wonderful applications are
yet to be applied. Applied under Mr..
Werdermann's process, it is said to in
crease the traction power Of locomotive
engine 800 per cent, thereby reducing
| the weight of engines in the reverse pro-
portion, and effecting an immense saving
| in the maintenance OF the permanent
way. This promises to be OF very great
value where there is 10, 900 miles of track
under wear.
THE REDUCTION OF ORES.
Pure copper can be manufactured on
large scale, and rendered available for
many important uses from which 1t is
now excluded by the cost of refining.
Iron may be also produced quite free
from sulphur, phosphorus, ETC., so that
steel may be produced directly from the
smelling furnace. Aluminium may bt
made on large scale and at half its pres
ent cost. Potassium. sodium, magnesium
and caustic soda can be produced at {
fraction of present cost. But the pro ces
of reducing refractory ores, sulphuret
of gold and silver, and extracting all tn,
ores from the tailings which have accu

the richest field of profit, and NJ. Werder
, mann claims that he can do this on tn
greatest scale. 1t is the general belle

Mr.. Hazard continues: II thereto

matter favorably, have prepared BARI
