ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS
About Naisances that Should BE
Abated-The Monroe Street
Hack : stand.

Among the ~nuisances that deserve i'm
mediate abatement is the hack.stand on
Monroe street, east Of Main. The stencil
is not only disAgreeable but may aus
sickness. There is certainly no neces.
Sity for the continuance Of this hack.
stand, and but little benefit. 1t r as
a loaing place, where hackmen most do
congregate with their vehicles and
horses. They should at once be driven
from the spot. They are not allowed to
stand in front Of the Peabody Hotel.
There is an ordinance, we believe, for.
bidding hacks to take up the streets.
Will this ordinance be longer neg.
lected2 1t strikes us that q great
and long.needed Improvement would
be made by Immediately abating
this nuisance. Why is it permitted to
exist2 The negro hackstand on Court
street is killing the trees in that locality,
and is liable to the same objection. We
believe that the health officer is earnest
aud untiring in his efforts to carry out
the city ordinances and truly anxious 10
put the city in good condition. We hope
that his attention to these n~uisances will
be direct, and that the hack stands will
be abated. These n~uisances are causes
of just and frequent complaints, and the
LEDGER, irrespective OF consequences,
will continue to denounce these nui
sances until they are abated. In regard
to nuisances we have received the follow
ing communication:
EDITOR LEDGER-I sm glad to see you
inviting correspondence on the sanitary
condition Of the city; and, while yoU
have touched them up in other portions
Of the city, please give them a turn OF
the condition Of a large privy.vault il

at the same place, and have been eve
since and know whereof l speak. Ihav
within the last two months called thu
attention Of the sanitary officers to thi.
place not less than six or eight times
The excuse for not having it attended Il
is that the landlords (Messrs. Goodwyr

EDISON OFF FOR COLORADO.
The Corona OF Ihe Sun TO be Ex-
nmlned for Heat Daring the
Eclipse.

The Corona of Ihe SUN 60 be Ex-
amlned for Heat During the
Eclipse.
New Yord Herald. 15th.l
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison started for
Colorado on Saturday night, with Pro-
lessor Henry Draper, Professor G. f.
Barker, Of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania, and a number Of other scientists
to observe the total eclipse Of the sun.
which occur on the 18th OF this month,
Mr., Edison will experiment with his tas.
lmeter heat measure to determine, if
possible, whether the suns corona gives
forth heat spectrum which observers
now believe to exist in the extreme RAYS
OF the solar spectrum. Tests made with
the new instrument have shown that it
measured accurately the l-5O, 900 part of
a degree Of F~ahrenheit's thermometer,
and Mr.. Edison thinks that, with an in.
crease OF electric power and the aid of a
nicely adjusted galvanometer, it will be
possible to measure the / 800, 1000 part of
a degree. After his observations have
been made, Mr.. Edison will visit the
Yosemite valley and the Pacific coast.
The principle OF the tasimeter, which
was described in the World a few weeks
ago, is due to the property possessed by
carbon of changing its resistance with
pressure, the ratio of the change CORE
spending exactly with the pressure. A
small carbon disk is placed in the lower
part Of the instrument, which somewhat
resembles q small brass bell, and on this
rests lightly a piece of hard rubber,
about the thickness Of a match, in a YER
lical position. When a heat ray falls on
the rubber it is heightened and presses
on the carbon, and the galvanometer,
which is connected with the tasimeter,
shows the degree of the pressure by the
DETECTION of the needle. Mr.. Edison
will employ 9 galVanometer formed Of a
small mirror, suspended by silk thread,
and rejecting the lightof lamp. When
pressure is applied TO the carbon disk by
the expansion Of the rubber the mirror
ia DETECTED and measures the degree Of
heat By throwing the reflected light on a
graduated scale. The tasimeter when in
use will be kept at a uniform tempera-
ture by being inclosed in q BOX filed
with melting ice. Heat rays will be al
lowed to pass into the instrument
through a narrow slit in the box.
