The ELECTRIC LIGHT From the Pblia-
dclphia Times. l-As has been said, there IS
no flame or smoke. only 4 fierce. dazzling.
ball of flame between the points of the car
bons like molted metal. Wind or storm or
rain cannot affect the light one bit. Fed
by the the powerful electricity, it burns
and detics the power Of the elements.
Tie hight will burn under water as well
aS above water. Cooper " Bailey arc
having strong glass case made for the
purpose Of demonstrating this. 1t is said
that single electric light OF the size ana
power of this one described, ii sufficiently
elevated and with reflector large enough,
would make the darkest night almost as
light as day for the space OF fifty miles.
There are eighteen electric lights to this ma
chine altogether, ten of which were in ope-
ration On Saturday night. The eighteen are
equal to 80, 600 gas jets. Mr.. Cooper states
that their saving OH gas by their new pur-
chase vial be not less than ten dollars an
hour, which Is about one half OF the gas bill
per hour. The cost Of running the engine
is the fuel used, and a smokc-3urner con-
sumes all the sparks. Only t~o men are
required to- gun the machiue-thc engineer
and the nan who has charge OF the battery
and lights.

Farming Companies.

1t ls very strange that capitalists seeking
profitable investment for their money do
not employ part OF it in forming joint
stock farming companies. 1t Is well-known
that farming cannot now proftably be car
ried on without capital and machinery; bat
with these, farming is one OF the most rca-
sonabIy sure OF all occupations, and is the
most beneficent in its effects upon society.
Farming companies could purchase land in
large bodies, procure the best labor-saving
machinery and implements, and hire labor to
any extent desired. Such companies would
ut once form small communities with their
laborers, and thus obvate one OF the great
objections that city laborers have TO going
to the country.-namtly:- its loneliness. The
American is gresarious being. Our school
system and our universal system Of organ-
lied labor form the habit OF working in
company, and it is painful for him to per-
form solitary labor. II a company should
purchase, say 1000 acres OF land, and build
near the centre OF It cottages for fifty fami-
lies, these families could have all the advan-
tages OF town life in the way Of schools,
amusements, and cooperation. Such COM
parics would need to hire for superinten-
dent practical farmer, who should be paid
a percentage on the profits OF the farm. The
laborers might be hired either at So much
wages. or they also might participate in the
profits. Doubtless it would be rs easy to
arrange these details as in case Of all other
joiut-stock companies engaged in produc-
tive industry.
Some Of the advantages in ioint-stock
farming companies would be that large cap
lal could be used without any one man
jcopardizins more capital than he could at
ford to lose. Laborcrs could be obtained
without difficulty. The surplus population
OF cities would thus be drained OFF. Labor
ers and capitalists would both be benefited,
and consequently the country at large.
They would create Il demand for educated
farmers for supcrintendcnts, and stimulate G
the acquisition OF scientific methods in
farming. The laborerS would be taught
farming under practical guidance. and thus
be prepared to strike out for themselves
when they have saved enough money to
give them 4 start.
That the cultivation of the soil in this way
can be made immensely profitable may be
inferred from the pecuniary success OF
many communities. The OIcida comDlunl-
" has only little over 100 acres OF land,
yet its clear income last year is reported 10
have been $4,000. They have vineyards,
fruit and vegetable gardens. great canning
establishments, orchards, and are rich with
the riches that can be created out OF the
soil. There is no reason why the same Sue
cess should not be attained by farming com.
panes suitably managed. City merchants
could thus have tLer interests in the farm
in. communities, and could draw their div.
idendS from their stock in such enterprises
and assist in developing the agricultural
wealth OF the country while remaining at
work themselves in their countiug-houScs.-

THE MICHIGAN MAN WITH A CAKE
lFrom the Detroit Free Press. .]-There is a
man with cake doing thriving business
in Michigan. The papers throughout the
Ssste are exposing him, and in short time

bakery, and brings sample of his york
alons in the shape of a large and elegantly.
frosted cake. Some hitch takes place about
the lease of the bakc-shop, and he concludes
10 rattle off the cake. The rattle takes place.
The splendid cake is won, and perhaps kept
ON exhibition for day OF two. Then 1t is

CaIifGrnia's Strong Man.


The death OF Charles Bennett, formerly
superintendent of the San Francisco Olym-
pic Club. appears destined to reopen the
discussion concerning the effects of muscu-
lar training upon vitality. In order to
reach any intelligent conclusions, however,
it is necessary 10 state the case correctly in
the beginning. The facts arc briefly these {:
Several years ago Mr.. Bennett found HIM
self affected by symptoms OF pulmonary
disease. At that time lie had never practiced
gymnastics, and was slender and weakly.
Acting upon the advice OF friends he joined
the Olympic Club. and went into something
like a regular training. In few months
all his alarming symptoms had disappeared,
and under the new ie2fme he rapidly de-
veloped great muscular power. He became
eventually remarkable 2thlcte and active
rymnast. His strength was so great that he
could put up 25O-pound dumbell with one
hand, and $50 with the other. He was an
cypert boxer and . daring acrobat. On
one occasion, when the Olympic CLUB gave
an exhibition at The old metropolitan Thea
ire, member named Ward. very daring
cymnast, and a Wcli-EnoWn ccmNoSltor,
was performing what is called the Niagara
leap, and fell from the trapcze some twenty
i've or thirty feet above the stage. Bennett
was standing directly uudcfncata, ana as
the falling man approached he clasped hlm
in his arms, and By the eXertlon OF his great
strength saved his life though the shock
strained him severely. When Mace, the
puyilist, came to California, Bennett put on
the gloves with him, and the champion was
astoni>hed to find an antagonist who could
knock him clear of his feet at every blow.
We believe that Mr.. Bennett practically re-
linquished gymnastics tive or six years ago
Whether his death, OF consumption, can be
attributed to oSerexcrtion is question
which certainly cannot be answered either
way conhdentiaIly until much more care
ful examination OF all the circumstances has
been had.

How IL Telegram Saved u Train Full
of PASSENGERS.

The Boston Globe says:
Among the cars in ured in the accident
at North Beverly was one used by the East
ern Express Company and owned by the
Eastern railroad. The night train from
Bangor last Wednesday night contained
this car. and in 1t, just before the train
reached Portsmouth, were the conductor,
messenger. and haggage-naster. Suddenly
one OF the gentlemen felt Il jolt, as il the
car was dropping from under him, and
spraug TO hi, fee; and caught hold Of some
thing trn in the hope to save himself in the
expected crash. The conductor, seeing the
movement, seized the beil-ropc, but. as lie felt
nothing strange, did not ring, and the train
passed on to Portsmouth. No examination
was made here, rs was formerly the uni
vcrSal custom, and the train proceeded to-
ward Boston. 1t had hardly left the depot
before the night Waterman found on the
track between the rails Il lateral car-SprnG,
and thinking it could come from no other
place but from under this train. he hurried
to the telegraph Office and sent 4 dispatch to
Greenland, the nearest station, five miles
away, TO stop the train and examine it tC
sec ii 4 spring had been lost. The green
light was accordingly displayed and the
train brought to Z stand-stiIl. when it was
found that the spring had come from undel
one corner OF the cXprcSS-clr. 1t was the
falling Of this spring upon the track which
caused the jar already spoken OF, and
which awakened the gentleman from his
GoZc beyond Portsmouth. Ii IL had fallen

evilablc. Had the car lurchcd badly upon
the bridge at klttery the signal-towcr there
would have been struck and disaster would
! have resulted. Had the spring dropped
elsewhere than within the range OF the
| watchman'S vision the train would have
sped on until it had reached some curve at
speed, when The cars would probably have

the road. But Providence ruled that there
should be prompt discovery OF the danger
and not only the passengers but the whole
community should have feelings OF pro
