A NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT.
New York Times. Oct. 80.

New York Times, Oct. 80.
An interesting exhibition of a new electric
light was given by the Electro Dynamic
Light company yesterday afternoon, at the
corner of Elm and Walker streets. The
new light is the invention of W. E. Sawyer,
of this city, and ALBION Man, of Brooklyn.
1t is very simple affair, consisting of a
small pencil of Carbon a little larger than an
ordinary pin, connected by wires with an
electric machine and inclosed in a her
medically sealed glass globe, which is filled
with pure nitrogen gas. The pencil of
carbon is heated by the electric current to o
temperature of from $4,000 to
$4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, in
an atmosphere with which 1t
cannot chemically combine. The c1rbon is
practically indestructlble, and the light is
therefore produced without any consumption
of material. In the experiments made yes
terday, five lights were placed in different
parts of the darkened room, and all con-
nected by wires with a small Hochhausen
electric machine in an adjoining room. A
simple key was placed in one of three ordi-
nary keyholes in one of the walls and turned
little. Two of the burners attached to q
hanging chandelier in the center of the room
Immediately glowed family, and, as the key
was turned still further around, the glow in
creased, until a brilliant and perfectly steady
white light was obtained, equal to the light
of twelve ordinary gas jets. The
key was then turned in another
of the keyholes, and another of
the lamps was slighted up. ~ In
the same way the fourth and fifth burners
were ignited, and there resulted an exceed
ingly brilliant white light, yet SO soft and
steady that it did not pain the eyes. The
lights were easily turned to any desired de-
gree of brilliancy, from that of a mere spark
to alight six times the intensity of the COM
mon gas jet-that being the maximum pow
er Of the lights in use yesterday. The COM
pany asserts its ability to easily fit up lights
equal to thirty gas burners. BY very sim
pie Hswitchn in the wall the current of cleo
tricity is divided and subdivided to supply
any number of burners desired, the electric
ity reaching the switch through single
wire. The Light is turned on or off, or regu-
lated to any degree, merely by turning
key which operates the switch.
Messrs.Sawyer and Man have recently taken
out number of patents covering all the
points of their new inventions, which are now
the property of stock company, which has
been formed to introduce the light to the
public. The plan is similar tothat proposed
by Edison,--th establishing of central sta
tions in various parts of the city, from which
powerful electic generators viii supply the
necessary electricity. The company claims
to be able to supply the electric light
at one-fortieth the cost of ordinary
gas. Whether this will prove true or not
remains to be seen. The difficulty of o
meter has cen overcome by the invention
of meter which will record the number
of burners used in any given house and the
Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1878-11-14

number of hours each burner is lighted.
The measurement of the electricity used
would involve so complicated and delicate
instruments that the time plan has been
adopted. Mr.. Sawyer asserted yesterday
that Mr.. Edison was behind time with his
much trumpeted light, as the Electro
Dynamic company have their light nearly
ready for the public, and every necessary
point is covered by patents of recent date.

Lane was brought into town by Isaac Lyle,

A despatch from Memphis says: SIT is
impossible to describe the indications of
Joy and happiness and general rejoicing
on every hand, at the sight of the first
frost, which appeared in such quantities
as to be unmistakable. Everybody was
glad, but the countenances OF those who
have braved the danger thus lar, and
these are very few, actually beamed with,
delight. It was expected, as last night
was very cold. and hundreds sat up all
night to usher in the great febrile enemy.
There are hundreds of others who have
not witnessed sunrise in years who were
up with the lark, and discovering the
hoary covering of things earthly, went
out, and with their knives scraped up
quantities into balls, each one of which
passed current for drinks at the neigh
boring bar-rooms. Residences were
thrown open In order that the frosty at
mosphere might penetrate. every nook
and corner, SO as to thoaughly eradicate
the poison lurking there. Tho effect of
the frost is already seen in the increased
number of refugees returning, old faces
being seen on every street, which have
been absent over two months"

In the view of the failure of cipher
dispatches to retain their secrets, the
curious are making Investigations to de-
termine how the ancients carried on cor
respondence not intended for the public
Tablets of wood on which the letter was
written and then covered with wax were
one device. Eplstels were sent in the

Persia sent communication to Arlsta
goras in Greece, on the subject of melting

in curious way. He shaved the head oil
one of his servants, impressed the secret
message on a smooth, bald spot, and when
the hair had grown again sent him off to
Greece. A second shaving enabled this
animated cipher despatch to preform his

message which he was carrying, being led
to the believe that the first shaving. the
rough treatment of his head. and the final
shaving were steps in his cure from 9

A sudden Death.

There is something terrible in the thought
of having our friends stricken down at our
side, without parting word of endearment or
conselation-one moment at our side in the
flush of vigorous life, cheering our, hearts
with their loving sympathy; the next at our
feet, pale with death, deaf to our cries and
needless of our tears. Every excessively fac
person is in instant danger of such q death.

Two or three months ago an extended
description. of the large dairy conducted
by the Darlington brothers, in Delaware
county, Pa, was printed in the Infelli
gencer. 1t was therein stated that no
biooded imported stock OF any kind Is
kept on the place, and all the purchases
of COWS are made without regard TO breed
or pedigree. Having seen the published
statments of Eastburn Reeder, made TO
the Guenon Commission, which they think
designed to show superior excellence for
Jersey COWS, the Darlingtons have writ
ten out result OF the production of their
own herd. They state that during the
first week in August they were milking
over 100 head, all native stock, and that
it required OIL quarts IF milk produced
by them to make one pound %. butter,
According to Mr.. Reeder's calculation it
took go quarts of the milk of his herd
to make pound. The Darlingtons add
that the average above given is below
that for whole year. but they have at
fines obtained pound of butter from
less than nine pounds of milk.

Recent explorations show that Arizona,
which has heretofore been regarded as a
sterile and uuproductive region, is the
nchest mineral region in the world
Humboldt, half a century ago, predicted
that there would be mines discovered in
Arizona which would surpass any found
in Mexico, rich as they are. Situated as
it is, says the New York american En-
change, between the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains on the west, and the Rocky Noun
tains on the east, at the point of intersec-
tioS of the great silver veins Of each, and
on the richest mineral belts known, and
where the great mineral lodes of Mexico
join those of the north, analogy would
suggest the richness of the mines were
there no indications on surface.

SparrOWs Attack and Put to Flight q
Man.

Utica Observer.
One mile and forty rods north Of the
beautiful village of Sauquoit resides Mr..
Andrew ]. Green. Day before yesterday
he started to walk to the village. Swing
ing along with his wonted stride, and
reaching point within half mile of his
destination his attention was attracted by
the strange actions of flock of sparrows,
lowering down over the sidewalk, flying
rapidly hither and thither in great excite
ment. AS he approached them, and went
in their midst, they evinced no fear of his
presence, and, instead of flying away on
his entrance among them, they pressed
around him in greater numbers. and al
most Immediately attacked him with
their sharp bills with great fury. At first
he was disposed to treat the attack as
trivial matter, and attempted to brush
them away with his hands. but the few
thus displaced were Immediately replaced
by mvrlads more, darting, chattering and
piercing him with their sharp bills, like
1.-THE flight of cloud of arrows" Their
immense numbers and persistent charge
was so great that he was soon thrown to
the ground. Now thoroughly alarmed be
struggled to his feet. Covering his eyes
and face with one hand as we'll as pt,ssi-
BILE, he endeavored with the other hand
to rest from the fence at his side stake
or picket with which to defend himself,
but not succeeding and the wild and in
furiated little worriors still increasing
their attack, he was forced to fight them
again with his hand, when again he was
thrown to the ground. Now really terri
fed for his life he pulled his coat over his
face and head for protection, regained
his 1eet and fed for lis lille, but they did
not pursue him Exhausted and with his
hands bleeding he reached the village,
convinced that he had narrow escape.

Bismarck has his own way as regards
the legislative raid against the German
Socialists. His bill for suppressing
them, if their ideas pass into action or
written or spoken utterance, has been
passed by the imperial Reichstadt or
Parliament by majority of seventy-two,
and is to remain in force for two years
and half. The Reichstadt consists OF
s97 deputies from every section of the
German empire, and $40 of these voted
for or against the Socialist bill. There
was a majority of 70 in f vor of the bill.

The schme so much talked about some
four years ago for connecting England
and France by submarine tunnel, has
no great life in it. A terrific storm in
January, 1877 swept with unexampled
fury into st. Marga1et's Bay, and drove
tons upon tons into The exposed shafts OF
the subway. Itwes afterwards complete
ly filled up, the laborers retired from
their work, and theae seems no likelihood
that the tunneling will be recommended.
A man is now a. work in Santa Barbara
county, offering to clear farms of squir-
rels for from o to ten cents per acre, &C.
cording to size, and guarantees athorough
work. One rancher declined 10 pay BY
the acre, but would pay four cents per
head for the dead squirrels. MIR. Benton
went to work and in a short time drove
up to the mans house with so many
wagon-loads of squirrels that it required
a check for $500 to satisfy the demands
of the contract.
