The Use of Ash elements.

We are indebted to the courtesy of DIR
st. Julien Ravenel for very Instructive
and interesting ramble through the ex>
perimental lots of the Atlantic Farm D

RavenePs experiments solves the nro.

OF Charleston can be profitabIv cultival al

that we can produce a better hay than
that brought from the no. tn for the same
money. Not only this, but we can grow
wheat, rye, oats and barley with a mar
gln OF profit. We saw wheat, oats and
barley in head on 9th of March. a four.

THE ALDO CARBON SIGHT.

Ihere Is an attempt to improve and
enrich the ordinary coal-gas, and unlike
all previous attempts, in this case 8 solid
substance IS used. TIE process con
s'sts IN the employment of a substance
called albo-caTbOn, which is the solid
Tesldum of creOsOte. This material is
nodded into the form of candles. which
In large lamps are placed in 8 metallic
receiver near the gss>burner. The albo.
carbon Is warmed by the heat OF the
burning gas, the heat being transmitted
70 the receiver by a metallic conductor,
Upon the carbon being raised to the
necessary temperature it volatilzes and
as the coal-gas passes over it to the bur
ner It's Vapor becomes mingled with the
gas and greately rises its illuminatorv
power. OF course when first lighted the
cOal-gas only is burned, and in 8 few
minutes, the slbo~carbon communicates
Its enrlehening vapor to it. But very
slight alteration Is necessary to fit the
gas hitting for the new invention. The
aIbo carbon light has been tried at the
LONDON aquarium, and found to afford
marked improvement upon the ordinary
system OF gas illumination. It sppeafs
two hundred burn rs were arranged with
the new light, and these took the Mace
OF i've hundred ordinary gas lights pres
VlousIy in use. The illuminating effect
was said to be doubled, and an additional
advantage as regards economy, the reduc-
ton OF cost arising from the smaller
quantity ofgas consumed. ACCORDING to
my information, one thousand feet of
ordinary gas viii, by the albo>carbon
appliances, give as much illumination as
three thousand cubic feet without it.
an ana the cost of the material, to produce
this result is only about forty cents.

'!EDIsoN ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The brilliant anticipations which fol-
lowed Mr.. EdisOn's announcement of q
new discovery in regard to the electric
light have not yet been realized. De-
tails and drawings of his patent have
now been published, and experts are not
favOrablY impressed with the feasibility
o his alleged discovery. The specifca-
tion deals with two distinct inventions
the first being a magnetic machine for
producing the electric current, and the
other regulator or burner. In regard
to the first, it is pronounced inadea1ate.
and would produce currents immeasur p
ably less than those produced by the
gTamme and other machines. With re-
gard to the regulator, it is pronounced
ingenious" but there is nothing novel
about 1t. 1t is, as reported, merely a
new form OF the long.a patented means
OF producing light by the incandescent
metals. Mr.. Edison uses an ALLOW of
platinum and iridium, in the form of a
ribbon, placed between two suitable
holders. The current is regulated BY the
expansion Of this ribbon with the heat
evolved. And it is by these means
checked automatically before the fusing
point OF the alloy is reached. The ma
terials do not err on the sides of cheap
ness. Platinum is about 50 an ounce,
and iridium is valued at an altogether
prohibitory price. The piece OF the
latter metal used by professor TyndaI in
his late lecture at the Royal institution
was about the size of luci er match and
was valued at $3.50. Mr.. Edison adj
yances nothing new On the question of
diVisibility. 1t seems, thereto re, that
the subject of electric lighting has not,
as yet, made much progress in his hands.

In Greenland the Danes have for
many generations drawn a yearly reve-

trade in seal-skins and oil, which, as
they sre for the most part secured in the
methods so briefly described, represent
with comparatively few skins and barrels
OF oil a vast amount of human patience.
daring, skill and endurance, brought
forth by the stern necessities of life
under a zone the most unfavorsble to
human existence. It is strangely pros
vided, however, and as it seems to us
tittingly too, that the helpless young of
the real are born far from the sterile
shores of Greenland, and the Esquimaux
can not destroy the source of tnat har-

ponds.
The varieties known to the North
Am, rican coast include the Phoca Vitu-
lima, or bay seal Phoca Barbata, the
huge " Ussuk" of the natives, sometimes
found eleven feet in length; Phoca
CTistata, the hooded seal, and Phoca
@ reenlandica, or harp seal, sO~called
from the lyTe-like arrangement Of certain
spots along his back ana sides. OF these
the larger species are seldom met with
south of latitude forty-ive north, though
the smaller bay seal is found all summer
along the New England coast, and it is
even said on certain keys and reefs in the
West Indies, where hundreds are to be
seen at once in early spring.
These seals bring forth one at birth
upon the huge fields of floating ice
which every spring pouTs out from the
regions OF eternal winter, to drift away

stroyed by fire. 1t contained the
richly furnished halls of the American

fortunately rescued from the burning
building before the flames reached them
These paintings are valued at $1,000

Death of +. G.. Morgan.

The announcement of the death of E
G. Morgan, on Monday forenoon, was re-
ceived here with profound regret. Some
of the older citizens of the place were
his companions when life was new with
him, and he is remembered by many IA
yorably as former resident and bust
ness man of the town. Deceased was,
we believe, born in Baltimore. about the
year 1922, but in early life removed
with his parents to Wheeling, and from
thence, when he was buta young lad, to
st. Clairsville. He received his educa-
tion at the old Academy, located on the
southeast corner of the lot on which the
residence of Maj. Thomas Thompson
is located. He studied law with Daniel
Peck, Esq, i'll 1923, and on March 4th,
1874, was admitted to the Bar by the Su-
preme Court in session at st. ClairSville
Subsequently, he was married to the
daughter of Rev. Robt. E. CarOthers, and
engaged with his father-in-law in mer-
chandiSing in this place. Afterwards
he entered into partnership and car
ried on Drug Store with Martin Ram
sey. In 1854 or '55, he removed to Bell
aire, where he has since resided. From
the time of his locating in that place, ,un-
til his death, he was active in advancing
the material interests of the city. and
engaged heartily in every enterprise
which promoted, in his Judgment, her
welfare. His funeral took place yester-
day, and was conducted by the Mason

THE Bellaire Independent in referring
to the Gazette's walls over the defeat of
Prosecutor Eaton, says:
The Gazette says the Democrats of

tie scratching. Yes; and the Democrats
of this township did some of it. AT least
fifty of the best men in the party
scratched X. M. Eaton off their tickets
though something like the same number
of Republicans voted for him. Knowing
the way in which Mr.. Eaton tried to Sc
cure votes in this place we say that the
Democratic party did right TO defeat
him; and any party does right to defeat
a candidate who seeks an election in the
way Mr.. Eaton sought it in this county

parties will insist that their candidate
shall, when canvassing for votes, de
port themselves in manly way.
