On the evening OF July 18th, the
Maxim electric light was put in operation
on the tower of the Grand Union Hotel
Saratoga Springs. N Y. with view to
test the extent of its illuminating powers.
An open parabolic reflector was used-no
ensAs, and care was taken to set the points
of the carbons little at one side of each
other, and to adjust them to the exact
focus of the reflector. When this was
fairly accomplished the light was turned
towards a spot in Bailston Spa. N. Y,
seven and half miles distant, where, by
previous arrangement, group of several
hundred persons were assembled to wit
ness the experiment. So powerful was
he light, SO accurate the focusing and
alignment, that the designated place in
Ballston was instantly Illuminated, SO
that ordinary print could be read, the
time seen on watches, &c. The night

Although the Big Horn canyon is

FELLING TREEs BY ELEcrRIcIrY.-The
destructive effect of stroke of lightning
upon tree has !, d an ingenious gentle
man in India to test the value of artificial
electricity IN cutting down trees. The
two ends of the copp,r wires of a Ralvanic
battery were connected with platinum
wire. which of course became instantly
red-hot, and was then passed backward
and forward across the trunk of the tree
to be feIled. Unfortunately the platinum
wire at hand was too fine for the pur.
pose. and WAS consumed long before the
work was accomplished. But the tree
was sawn one-tifth through, and there
seems to DO no reason to doubt that with
large wire and a battery OF suitable
strength the ak and saw may find for
mldabe rival in electricity. 1t is cal.
culated that tree which requires two
hours to fell with an ak may be brought
down in fifteen minutes by the new pro
cess, and that without sawdust or vast.
of wood in chips. A patent for this
mode of telling trees was taken out in
this country some two or three years
since; but we have had to wait for the
ingenious gentleman in India for the
first effort at practical method.

EX-GOVERNOR FENToN's VIEWS CONCERN

EX-GOVERNOR FENTON'S VIEWS CONCERNING
THE RECENT CONFERENCE IN EUROPE.
Ex-Governor Reuben E. Fenton. who
was one Of the representatives OF the Unlted
States at the European Monetary Confer
ence last fall, reached this city in the Ger
manic. OF the White Star Line, from Liver
pool Saturday afternoon. In conversation
with Times reporter that evening at the
FiSth.Ayenue Hotel, Mr.. Fenton said that
with the exception O! Spain and Germany
all the European countries were eXceiIently
represented at the conference. The two
countries named sent no delegates. Since
the close OF the conference Mr. Fenton bad
met a number OF the gentlemen who took
part in il and other reprcsen latlvcmcn OF
France, England, Holland, Belgium, Italy:
and other countries, and Informally u'S-
cussed monetary matters with them. lie
saws he finds that those countries which
have demonetized silver are beginning to
discuss the question whether or not the
decentralization was mistake. In Germa-
nv, particularly, the leaning appears to be
toward a return to silver currency, ana lie
thought it quite likely that the German
Government would soon show strong dis
position to remouetize that metal. \ SINH
lar feeling that characterization was mis-
take is also gaining ground in London and
other English cities. Naturally, the move
ment is slow among the English people, but
there, as In other countries, the Senator
thinks the decentralization tide has reached
the turning point. The discussion OF the
matter be considers the first step toward re-
monetiZation. The Ex-Governor believes
that the United States cannot stand alone
on its silver policy without European CO.
operation. He thinks, in view Of the pres
ent sentiment abroad, that it might be pro-
ftable for the United States Government II
uuvtlrr oonforo"nn nonld he arranged for
the coming fall or winter, not with view
to present, but to future results. II silver
is remonetized in the European countries,
said he, it could not. OF course, take the
place OF the other coin metal. but ii would
soon find its proper secondary place as a
medium Of eXchange.-Ne,c York. Times.

The Negro Exodus.

To cal! the migration OF few thousand
negroes negro exodus is perhaps a mis-
application OF the word; yet so it is called.
Senator FULLER, of South Carolina, knows
what farce or humbug Is the clamor made
in the North on this subject There will
not be negroes enough removed from the
South TO cause her to lose one-third OF q
representative in Congress. On the other
hand, a thousand negroes. located in any
northern State will be worth thousand
votes TO the Democratic party. We quote
from a Herald report OF an interview:
Senator Butter: The exodus is and will
be a blessing 10 the South If it continues
long enough 10 take North two or three hum
dred thousand negroes, and the negroes
themselves will be benefited by the change.
/ trust that a hundred thousand may leave
South Carolina. Their places would soon
be supplied with white labor, while i'll Mis-
sissippi aud Louisiana, in the alluyal mala
rial regions, the places OF those. who have
left or who may leave will be supplied by
negroes from the billy or healthier localities,
and their places in turn will be supplied by
white settlers. We have too much cheap
negro labor in the South. It IS demoraliZ-
ing to the intelligent white labor, and we
caunot prosper and improve and develop
rapidly until this supertluOus cheap labor is
transferred TO fields where it will be vital.
