That questions may arise whether that choice was

Electric Machines In Teiexraphy.
Scientific Americana

The new and remarkable departure in the
art Of telegraphy, which we this week chron-
icla, to wit, the substitution Of dynamo ma
chimes In place Of galvanic cells for generating
the electric current. is due to the genius and
perseverance Of Mr.. Stephen =. Field, of San
Francisco, Cal.
Various efforts have been made during past
years to do away with the cells and their con-
comitant troubles and expense. Many of the
most eminent electricians have turned
their attention to the problem, but one
and all have heretofore failed to attain
the coveted success. The account we
give this week Of the great change which is
now going on within the walls of that great
palace OF electricity, the Western Union Tel
cgraph Building, shows that Mr.. Fields dis
coyery is one OF vast Importance, for which
he is entitled to most generous rewards. His
invention has made complete revolution In
the economies of telegraphy, and before a
twelvemonth closes 1t will doubtless be II
general use throughout the world We hearth.
~ congratulate Mr.. Field upon his splendid
achievement. 1t Is one of those brilliant dis
coveries that is far-reaching In its results
and confers direct, lasting benefit upon

Return Of the Pri.cess Louise.

The landing Of the Princess Louise At Hal
flax, n s.. on Monday. is thus described:
At IL 80 O'Clock movement was seen at
the sides of the steamer Sarmatian, near the
Rsugvay, By which the steamer Lily was
waiting, and moment later the marquis and
princess we're seen coming down the gang
way As they stepped on board the Lily the
royal standard'vas run mp from her stan, and
the little steamer started for the land. As she
approached the wharf cheer upon cheer went
up from thousands. In a few minutes The
little steamer reached the landing place, and
the Marquis Of Lorne. Princess Lieutenant
Governor and their suites stepped ashore
The royal standard was then lowered from
the steamers staff and run up af the ordnance
wharf and On the Citadel hill and the heavy
ssIufing battery at the latter place commenced
firing a royal salute. The Princess looked
little the worse for her rough sea voyage.
and her face wore a bright, happy expression.
The Narqui. looked much better than he did
on his last visit TO Halifax. The vice-regal
couple entered the Lieutenant Governors
sleigh, and while waiting for the military
lines 10 be put in position both chatted pleas
antlv " it'll hi. Lordship the Bishop of Nova
Scotia and others about them. Then the
sleigh drove OF through the gzily bedecked
cheered all the way TO the Government House,
v here the distinguished visitors had elegan,
quarters prepared for them.
They were received by guard Of honor
from the Royal Princess Louise Fusileers
and the Ninety-seventh ulster Regiment. Al
highs the vice-regal couple were TO attend a
curling match at the lower road rink, in
which all the PLAYERS were to be in fancy
costume.
The Sarmatian was delayed by fog of
Loughfoyle for fifteen hours. The most
boisterous weather was experienced through
out the whole passage, and the vessel was de
layed by almost incessant head winds. The
Princess was quite i'll and suffered much
/ from sea sickness, but with little rest will
be restored to her usual health. The vice
! regal party return to Ottawa to-day.
