The Hosmer Motor and the Edison Light.

The past victories of invention and science
make men credulous in regard to future
achievements in the direction of mechanical
progress, and hundreds of thousands have
accepted without much question the recent
announcement. that steam and gas would
soon become things OF the past. superseded
BY the new motor discovered by Miss
Hosmer and new Ellison light. Exact
| ~ what the invention of Miss Hosmer may
be. does not appear. 1t is announced in
general terms as "a great discovery. and
a contrivsnce for utilizing the permanent
magnet as a motive power but it appears
to be mostly on paper as yet. No engines
are running with it; and though Miss
HOsmer is Dot chsrlstan like Really, We
fear it will turn out that she, like thousands
before her, has simply made q machine that
will almost give u. perpetual motion We
notice that Prof. z. W. Blake, of Providence,
formerly for short time Professor OF Physics
in the University OF Vermont, has declared
his utter disbelief in the value of the Gary
llOsmtl Invention iOr eDe Gnu pTOpO-tu,
and We fancy that good many other scien-
tihc men share bis lack Of faith in it.
That Mr.. Edison or somebody else may be
able to give the world cheap electric light,
which may supercede gas for many of its
uses, is quite within the range of possibility.
But for NJ. Edison, too. promise Is not
achievement. He has yet to show his in
vention in public. and to demonstrate its
practicatility and economy. lie is born
inventor but in this case, it seems. be has
discovered no new principle and invented
no mechanism so new that it can be patent
ed and, on the whole. holders of gas stocks
ere probably wise in declining to sell out
for a song. That the future will give us
cheaper light, hes. and motive power, we
do not doubt; but then, great boons of the
future have probably not yet arrived to
bless mankind. When they actually come
probably we shall all know it.
