PROGRESS OF THE ELECTRO LIGHT.
4 ~ Ii Il

PROGRESS OF THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The Cleveland (Ohiol Herald lately
witnessed trial of the electric light
at the establishment of the Union
Steel Screw Company, in that city.
The apparatus used has been con-
structed for the illumination Of a
large carpet mill in Philadelphia. 1t
consists of Brush dynamo-electric
machine of $4,000 candle power. ar
ranged to give four separate currents,
each running an electric lamp of 9 900
candle power. Two Of the lamps were
placed on the third floor and two on
the fourth floor of the immense build
ing, and when the engine was started
up the machine started up at the same
time. and. without the slightest man
ual interference, the lamps flashed out
their light in all its magnificence. The
effect was most brilliant. The rooms
were flooded with a pure white light
like the light of the sun, land it stream
ed out at all the windows, illuminating
houses and streets for long distance
in every direction. The light was very
uniform and steady, free from the
Pickering that used to be an accom-
paniment of electric light. and, con-
sidering the enormous illumination
power the light was Unexpectedly soft
and endurable to the eyes. An oppor-
tunity was afforded to test the charac-
ter and whiteness of the light. Wor-
steds. scarfs. afghans. etc. of brilliant
shades. were hanging against the wall
at one side of the room, and it was
noticed that the colors were brought
out as clearly as by the full light of
the sun. Estimates were made as to
the amount that the light furnished
by this apparatus would cost. if used
by the Screw Company as it was on
this occasion, and it WAS ascertained
that the whole cost of the whole light
from the four lamps. including the
items of consumption of carbon in the
lamps. interest on the Investments and
wear and tear. would not exceed thirty
cents an hour. The light produced
was photometrically equal to 500 gas
burners. burning five feet of gas per
hour each. Thisamount of gas would
cost IS per hour.

A NEW FLYING MACHINE.

The first open air exhibition OF
Professor {. r. Ritchell's flying
machine was conducted at Hartford.
Conn. on Wednesday afternoon. June
L.. 1t went up height of full two
hundred and fifty feet. past the spre
of the Colt Memorial Church. and
sailed off until over the Connecticut
river. the operation meanwhile ey-
hibiting his power to change its
altitude and directions at will. When
he ascendel there was but little wind
blowing. and the machine appeared TO
he uuder perfect control. but gradually
a breeze sprang up. and it was deemed
safest to make "A speedy return. as
there were indications in the sky of a
gathering storm. The machine turned
anu made its way back III the teeth of
the wind until directly over the ball
ground whence it had assembled, and
then alighted within a few feet Of the
point from which it had started. 4
From this demonstration of its
capacity it was generally conceived
that it could do much more than its
modest invention claimed for it. He
never expected i. to move against a
wind OF any strength. and has not had
the attainment of that end in view in
its construction, as may readily be
seen by a glance at its proportions.
but he does claim that it can be

ones: that it can be made to tack 50

the word was given to eco" Quinlan
began turning the wheel, the horizon
tai fan revolved with a noise like 2
buzz saw, and the machine darted up
almost vertically to height of about
two hundred feet. There strong,
steady current Of wind setting toward
the southwest was encountered, and
the machine was swept away by it,
broadside on the spectators. Then
the operator was seen throwing his
vertical fan into gear, and by its aid
the aerial ship turned around, pointing
it's head in whatever direction he
chose to give it. All this was the
work of but few seconds. Although
Quinlan could wave the apparatus
about, he could not make any Roadway
against the strong wind. Reversing
the motion Of his horizontal fan, he
descended apparently about one hun
bred feet, to get out of the current,
but. finding, that impracticable, re-
ascended to a much greater height
than. he had first reached. Still he
was swept off toward New Haven.
and after a little time went out of
sight. He had vanished behind a
distant hill, and for while it was
supposed he had alighted. Then he
was again sighted, far away and not
less than one thousand feet above the
earth. The cylinder of the machine
looked no larger than an orange. At
length he disappeared altogether.
At 6 IA o'clock PM, having been
up battling with the wind very nearly
an hour. he descended safely at New
ington, and at 10 o'clock was back in
Hartford. He said that at one time
he was eight or ten miles away from
his starting point. but by lacking and
working between the gusts OF wind,
won his way back as far as Newing-
ton, only five miles from Hartford.
He says that the working of the
machine is SO easy that he could con-
tinue it for four consecutive hours,
without fatigue, in quiet atmos-
phere.
Mr.. Lord, the Superintendent of the
Colt Arms Factory, has watched the
experiments with much interest. and
his opinion as a practical scientist is
of value. He says that while he does
not see an Immediately practical use
in this flying machine, he cannot but
regard it as a great step in progress,
one which should be recognized as of
immense Importance and encourage
ment for hope of speedy good results
in the way of aerial travel.-Nem York

LIGHTNING CONDUCTORS AND EARTH

WIN 6~bs
The Importance of a perfect earth
contact far lightning conductors is
shown by an accident at Gottingham,
England, in 1868, which is mentioned
by DR.. r. G. Mann, in the Journal Of
the Society of Arts. A copper light
ming conductor, four tenths of an inch
in diameter, was attached to the
weathercOck, one hundred and fifty
feet from the ground upon the spire of
a new church, and was carried in an
unbroken line to the ground land prob
ably at first had good earth contact;
but after the accident an investigation
showed that some thief had drawn it
out of the ground and carried away all
that was more than six inches below
the surface.
On October 16, 1868, the church was
struck by lightning, the fluid passing
quietly until within about six feet Of
the GROUND. Had there been good
earth contact. all would have gone
well, but at this point it was drawn
from the conductor to gas pipe on
the inside of the wall. altho, gh sepa-
rated from it by 10 feet Of solid ma
sonry. The lightning then passed
along the pipes to the gas mains and
off into moist ground; but OH its pas
sage it totally destroyed a short piece
Of pipe. near the gas meter and allow
ed the gas to escape, which, by the
way, caused another accident Oh the
following day. when lighted lamp
was carried into the cellar by the
person sent to look up the leak. At
the point where the electric fluid
passed through the wall from the
conductor to the gas pipe. the stone
work was splintered into fragments
through an area of about square
yard on either face of the wall, while
the centre of the wall, for thickness
of about foot. was entirely uniniur
