The Retirement of One and Two Dollar
GFeenbaeks Agisated.

The bill introduced by Senator Hill, Of
Colorado, for the retirement Of one and two
dollar ~greenbacks, is q measure Of much in
terest for the silver producing regions. He
has been investigating the subjects involved
in the bill for some time, and intends to sur
port it with q speech in the Senate which will
present some striking facts. For instance,
he has ascertained that the cost OF maintain
ing in circulation the amount Of the small
greenbacks now outstanding (between $780,
600, 600 and $50, 900, 000) is not less than
$500, 900 a year, it being necessary to redeem
and reprint them SO frequently. The main
purpose Of the bill is Of course TO enlarge the
demand for silver coin to an amount equal to
the aggregate Of the one and two dollar
greenbacks, and thus put in circulation the
standard silver dollars now so rapidly accu-
mulating in the United States Treasury. 1t
is remarked in this connection that Great
Britain issues no money Of 9 lower denomin-
alton than q five pound note, and that IN
France also small notes are unknown.

ELECTRICITY AS A MOTIVE

From the I'imes.)

Sir,-About this time last year l
sent you a short account of some ex-
periments by Mr.. {. Felix, of Ser
maize, and at the Regional Agricultu-
raj Show, now being held in this town,
his apparatus has been shown at work.
1t consists of the ordinary "Gramme"
machine, worked by a s~emi-portable
engine, furnished by Boulet and Co.
Faubourg Poissoniere, Paris. Two
coils of wire convey the power to a
smaller Gramme fixed on a framework
of wood, movable on wheels. This
acts as an intermediate motion, and has
two broad-face pulleys, one on each
side, 2O-inch and 14-inch diameter;
these run at a speed, if required, Of
800 a minute, the latter driving a six
horse power thrashing machine at a
considerable distance from the main
power. The 2O-inch pulley might
De used for driving any other machine
if required.
The ploughing apparatus, which is
"oAA at the same time III the held
adjoining, consists of a similar
Gramme machine, fixed in a very
solid framework of wrought iron,
about SIT: long by SIT. wide, stand
ing on wheels, 3ft 6 in. diameter in
ron and Aft. Gin. behind. Shafts and
3, locking gear are also attached.
There are two of these at work for
ploughing, as in Fowler's double
tackle.

and guided in its course by two fat
rollers.
The plough is one of Towards
double-furrow, supplied by Mr.. Pilter,
Paris, and fitted for the purpose.
THE power is conveyed in an instant
from the main power in the showyard
by q coil of wire on wooden reels,
long enough to reach several fields
off.
The plough worked clean and
regularly about seven or eight inches
deep. The grounl was very hard
and uneven, as this part of France is
suffering very much from want of
rain. One man is required to each
machine and one man to the plough,
three in all. The ploughing was not
very straight, for, as the people
crowded about the plough and on the
ropes, the driver could not see where
he was going. Directly the plough
reached theNend lM it's course it was
lowered and reversed with the great
est ease.
The machines, are also advanced or
retired without the least difficulty.
When tlis is done, the friction rollers
are detached and the power conveyed
to a chain and notched wheel, which
move the machine rapidly forward as
the ploughing work progresses.
The manager, Mr.. Ducret, states it
would be just as easy to work a three
or four furrow plough as this double,
but the holdings being small in this
country it is not necessary.
Mr.. Felix, who is here superintend-
ing his invention, has a large sugar
factory at Sermaize, and there may be
seen his various machines worked by
electricity, as we, indeed, see in this
showyard.
The officials connected with the
show and many others were present,
and the greatest interest was mani
tested in the trials. Electricity as a
motive power is only in its infancy,
but who can help feeling sanguine as
to Its futures
