see,y sherman ON tine Maine Election.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-Sec'y Sher
man said to-day that the Maine election
demonstrates several points, the most i'm
portant of which is that the Greenback
party will absorb the Democratic party.
and that this will sooner or later natur-
ally tend to a general reorganization of
parties on the currency question. The
Republican party, he maintained, repre-
sents the true spirit of the business in
terests OF the country. With that branch
OF the Democratic party which does not
sympathize with the infiationists, and
which is in favor of honest money and a
strict adherence to the pledges of the
Government, the Republicans will form
eventually the dominant political organ
iZation -.,1ottf
The Secretary said that the prevalent
idea that the issue of two hundred mil
lions more of greenbacks will relieve the
industrial interests and revive trade is
based upon a very erroneous theory
Such step would tend to initiate values,
while the purchasing power of the green
back would not be proportionately en-
HANGED. Moreover it would renew the
fluctuations of gold and the variations
between gold and currency which have
been SO ruinous to business since the
close of the rebellion. He could not see,
even if Congress were to authorize an
additional issue of greenbacks, how it,
would be of any practical benefit to those
who are now clamOring for more money,
unless the money were to be distributed
gratuitously or disbursed in the ortlina-
~ transactions of the Government. The
only effect, in the opinion of the Score
tary, would be reactionary, and the I'M
doing by legislation of what is now on
the verge of COMPLIMENTARY res
toratiOn of fixed values to the circulat-
ing medium of the country. All the
legislation necessary to perfect the OBJ
jects of the resumption act is now on the
statute books, and any effort to reverse 1t
viii be disastrous to the country. The
Secretary added that if he had not been
so much embarrassed by conflicting
views, the end would have been reached
before this. In the general results the
Secretary said it might not be surpris
ing If the Greenback party held the bal
ance of power in several of the States and
in Congress soon.

The Planet Vulcan.

When Professor Swift, of this city, re-
discovered the lost Vulcan, while near
Denver, July %, the vagrant planet was
only about eight miles distant from the
star Theta Camel. The two were in such
close proximity, in fact, that had they
both been of the same brilliancy it
would have been almost impossible for
the naked eye to separate them. Since
the finding of Vulcan, which has created
such a sensation in the scientific world,
Professor Swift has very naturally felt a
fatherly interest in the planet, which is
his by the right of discovery. At three
o'clock on Monday morning he again
turned his telescope in the direction of
Theta Camel, which was readily found
in the place it should be. But it was
alone. Had its neighbor of July %
been a star, and not a planet, the finding
of the one would have also shown the
other. Being a planet, it had disappear
ed, being engaged in its regular employ
ment of taking a turn round the sun.
This, said Professor Swift to a represen-
tative of the Evening Express this morn
ing, is proof positive that it was Vulcan
which he found July 90. But, he added,
Il am no more convinced than before-I
was certain of it at first."-Rochester

poles of the armature and cause. the
armature to move. But the motion in
its new position brings other portions
of the break pieces in contact with the
spring and causes a redistribution of
the magnetism. Again, attraction takes
place as before, and again the direction
of the current Is changed by the break
pieces. The magnetic effect being con-
tinuOus, the rotation is continuous, in
creasing constantly in speed until the
friction and the magnetic power balance
each other

ter showed that the machine made three

The electricity from the wonderful tel
emachon may be applied to illumination
1t solves the problem of the subdivision
OF electric lights. The Wallace foundry
and the Farrell foundry, near by, are
lighted by these lights, the army of men
being formed in two divisions, one work
ing during the day and the other up to
midnight. Tricky studded as these
foundries are with heavy machinery, and
DISTRACTED as the light must necessarily
be by the ponderous cranes, drills, sup
porting columns and projections, clear
light is thrown upon the machinery, per-
fectly Illuminating it. Adjustments to
tothe thirty second of an inch may be
made without the least strain upon the
eyes. A beautiful effect of this light is
its polarization-that notified apgear-
ance which it assumes when falling
through glass. This is the only artifi.
cial light, it is said, that is capable of
producing it.
The following is an estimate, made by
an expert, of what it you'd cost to light
the streets of New York with these
lights: The average street burner gives
a light equal to ten candles. Assuming
that one of the eight electric lights pro-
duced by the power of one machine is
equal to four thousand candles, and as
Stunning that there are five thousand
lamps, each lamp burning twenty cubic
feet of gas an hour, at a cost of 81 a
thousand feet, it would require twelve
and half of these machines to furnish
all the light required. The cost of the
gas by rough estimate would be 800
an hour. To produce the same light by
wonld require, say, thirteen
machines, placed upon towers. The
cost of single light equal to that of one
thousand candles, would be three cents
an hour. Each machine giving four
thousand candle lights would cost, there
fore, twelve cents an hour, and thirteen
would cost $1.56 an hour

A number of cases of leprosy among

pleasant thought that many of the lep-

garded as contagious, yet its loathsome-
ness makes il a dreaded disease. It is
hereditary, and the least faint descends
