LONDON, January ga dispatch from
Cabul says: Matters here are very unset
tied. An outbreak is possible at any time,
and is almost certain to occur as soon as
the snow melts. Mohamed Jan is very
popular among the Afghans, who will
willingly follow him again when called on.
They do not admit OF their defeat, and
say they were only dispersed because they
had no cannon with which 10 dislodge
the British from the Shirpur, but that the
next time they will bring cannon. The
Shirpur has been too greatly strengthened,
but Is too large for the present garrison OF
5000 Europeans and 1880 natives TO hold
and at the same time take the offensive
against the combination Of equal strength
with the last.
The Kobistans continue to treat, but
they cannot be relied on TO keep quiet when
disturbances recommence. Two intluen-
tial Sirdars OF Wardake have come in and
II is hoped others will follow. The ex.
citement at Ghuzne and Logar continues.
Mohamed Jan is actively preparing for
another rising. The uncertainty whether
the British intend to hold or abandon the
country prevents the influential chiefs
from cordially cooperating with US or pre-
pairing government to succeed US. Moth.
Ing can be done until our policy is known.
1t Is believed that II the Afghans are left
TO choose an Ameer they would choose
Ayoub Khan, the commander at Herat,
who Is avowedly hostile to the British and
friendly TO the Russians.

nations, or whether or not they had had
the smallpox. / treated all In the one way,
vaccinating them at three different
times during the next ten days. The
old matron, who had had the small
pox in England and her husband,
who had been vaccinated when young, and
again after he had grown to maturity, both
took the vaccine disease as perfectly as
though they had been fresh subjects.
Nearly all had sore arms, and some Of the
children, who had been vaccinated only
the summer before, during the period OF
summer sickness, took the disease second
time very perfectly; owing, probably, TO
the fact that at the time OF the previous
vaccinations their systems were, more or
less, under the weakening influence Of
summer diseases. All the inmates, old
and young, were entirely protected, and
nearly all Of them, more than had ever
seen before under similar circumstances,
were largely affected by the vaccine dis
ease; and no one OF them had any symp-
toms OF the disease, except the boy with
smallpox, who eventually recovered.

French Experts on Edtson,s LIeht.

NEw YoRE, January 92,-A cable special
from Paris, gives the yiewsoi number Of
French electricians on Edison's livb..
Wilfred De Fouvielle said the onslaul t
OF Count De Moncel on Edison, excited no
attention whatever. De Monccl is no,
member OF the Institute, and casnot be,
never having made any scientific dlscoy-
ety or published any original work. He
has merely written a number Of reports on
electricity.
Mr.. De Fouvielle said that he had already
expressed his own opinion in print of the
Edison light, and had nothing 10 add. A
translation OF this article had been pub.
lished, and Is TO tho effect that Edison's
work will be appreciated In future ages.
when the names OF his. critics have been
long buried in oblivion.
Jean Baptiste Dumas said that his i'm.
preston upon first reading OF Edlson's
discovery was one Of ineredibility, but he
now sees no real impossibilty in the thing.
Mr.. Crookes, inventor Of the Ridome-
ter, expressed himself as follows: l do
not believe the horseshoes OF Edison can
last for any length Of time because It Ii
impossible to extract the whole OF the acid
from the tubes, and there must always
remain certain quantity In them. This

pense OF the carbonized substance. Then
this carbonic acid gets heated, and at con-
tact with the surface Of the glass 1t decom.
poses and leaves a.smalI deposit OF carbon.
The oxygen thus set liberty acts on the
fresh quantity Of carbon from the horse.

and 80 on Indefinitely.
N. Fortaine, President Of the Syndicate
Electricite, when asked his opinion ON
Edison's latest discovery, said: II have
read everything published on the subject.
Ny conviction Is that by the employment
Of the carbonized horse shoe Edison has
made an important advance in the matter
OF electric light. Ibeieve that this gresult
has been obtained by certain dexterity
of manipulation OF which Edison has pre-.
served the secret, as, for instance, Judi.
cious employment OF the electric current
during the process OF carbonization."
