OUTDOING EDISON.
Prof. NortOn's Perfected Electric
Lamp.
New York SUI.

new ork suN.
Prot. Morton, Of the Stevens Institute,
rsad before the National Academy of sci.
ences, which began ts annual meeting yes
terdsy in Columbia college, paper on "Tho
Measurement of New Forms of Electric
Lsmps, Operating by Incandescence." Prof.
Morton has been experimenting with the
electric current for several years. He has
from tue start denied tho accuracy Of Ed
sons results, both Ms to the amount of an.
piled power recovered in the dynamo electric
machine and tho efficiency of the lamps.
Some time ago Prof Morton heard of q new
electric lamp that had been constructed by
Prof. Maxim. II was Of the experiments
and measurements which he had Just made
with this lamp by the aid Of Brush electric
machine that no spoke yesterday before the
academy.
Ed;son's chief impairment in perfect ng
his lamp has been the constant disntegrstion
of his carbon loops. According to his own
statement in an October magazine, the dura-
ton of one of his lamps without repairs is
only six months under favorable circumstsn-
co]. He cannot get perfect vacuum, and
even the very small amount of oxygen that
gains admttance to the small glass bulbs is
sufficient for the combustion necessary to
destroy the carbon loop.
In the lamp described yesterday by Prof
Morton this error in construction is corrected
by the introduction of the vspor of gasoline
in to the glass bulb after the vacuum bas besn
made as nearly perfect IS possible. Maxim
discovered that, under these conditions, all
loFs to the loop by combustion is compensst-
ed for by the formation of new carbon on the
loop, and that the amount of resistance to
the current remains consta II. Maxim.
claim is that the gasoline vapor keeps tho
carbon loop constantly in repair, and the
arefu measurements of Prot. Mlrton with
the galvanometer and other instruments con-
firm the assertion, the Professor ssid. He
added that in comparison between the
Edison lamp and the one Just described, he
has no hesitation in saying that Maxim's is
the more economical and efficient

ed throughout the Equitable building. The
electricity necessary to keep these lamps in a
state of incandescencs ID to be furnished by
means of the Brush dynano-electric ma
chine. In speaking of dynsmo machines,
however, Prof. Morton says that Edison's is
more efficient than either the Brush, the Sic
mems or the Wallace, He said further that
the resistance 10 the current is so great in
these lamps that he has obtained 900 candle
power per horse power, equivalent to about
thirty-eight gas jets. In recent letter to
him, Mr.. Edison had said that tho lamps he
was then making give him about 1866 candle
power per horse power. He wa. using fla
ments of bamboo.

THREE rRAMPs
Who Arrived in Box Car all the
way from Kansas city.

On opening box car on the Texas & Pa,
cifc, billed for this city, yesterday, the rail.
road employees discovered three trsmps in
it. The car had come through from Kansas
City via st. Louis, and wss loaded with ba-
con. They were a sad looking set, and said
that they had started for Westherford, and
had been on the road five days. During the
trip they had suffered great deal from cold
and hunger, for it WAS as much as they could
do to eat the salty bacon, They had provided
themselves with two large jugs of water. and
had a little left. On the road they had
knocked on the sides Of the car and called
for assistance, but they we're not heard, or
if they were their call was not needed The
railroad men let them go, on their promisin, ,
to leave the city, and when they started of
they could hardly wall, resembling very
mach three invalds. They gave their names
as Joel Moss, Sam ClinEenbeard and Tom
Hale.

Chinese Criticism OF Europeans.

WE think the Chinese dress queer
the Chinese think ours indecent. Each
nation makes its own style the standard
of comparison. An Englishman travel
ing through China was often amused by
hearing the free criticisms of the people
on his clothing and appearance. On
his arrival at an inn a crowd would
gather, and he would hear such remarks
as these:
"What a curious-looking fellow! he
has no cue, and doesn't shave his head. "
"And look at his tight clothes! Why,
it is absolutely indecent"
$50 it is; and look at his hat, what a
queer thing! What ugly eyes he has!
His boots, however, are excellent; do
you not think SOP"
"Oh, yes, indeed and am told they
never wear out, and water can't get
through them"
If the over curious people were driv-
en- out of the travellers room, they
would collect round the window. Those
in front would poke peep-hole in the
paper Cthere are no glass windows) with
their fingers, and gaze for hours at "the
outside barbarian" Free criticisms
would be offered as to his barbarous
method of eating with pronged fork,
thereby endangering his eyes and mouth,
and at the odd mixture Of cold drinks
and hot food. But the strangest thing
of all, the one fact they could not COM
prehend, was that he should have left
his home to wander about their country.

Died Of q Broken Heart.

ABOUT a year ago Ossian Aldrich,
an employee in the United States Sig
nal Service, while on duty in this city,
became acquainted with the family of
William Hooper, of No. 14S West Tenth
Street. William Hooper who is pros
porous butcher in the jefferson Market,
had daughter Julia, who is nineteen
years old and prettier than it is the gen.
eral lot of girls to be. Soon after meet
ing Julia Hooper Aldrich's attentions
became very marked, much to the an
noyance of the girls parents. All re-
monstrances were in vain, however, for
in April last Aldrich and Julia Hooper
were married by the Rev. Robert Kidd.
About three weeks after the marriage
Aldrich went to Washington and soon
after the young wife followed him.
Only month was spent there, when
the girl returned to her parents. A few
days later, Mrs. William Hooper says,
letter from Aldrich announced that he
had been ordered to go on an Arctic ex-
pedition. Mrs. Hooper, fearing that all
was not right, advised her daughter to
90 to Washington at once, which she
did. There, it is said, the girl heard
that Aldrich was already married,
but this Aldrich stoutly denies. But, at
any rate, Aldrich had left Washinton,
not for the Arctic regions, but for Mo-
bile.
The girl followed him to Mobile, not
believing in what she had heard in
Washington. According to the story
subsequently told by the girl, but de-
MED by Aldrich, he treated her with
great cruelty after she had told him that
she had represented herself as his wife
in the Signal Office in Washington, and
compelled her to swear to written
statement that she had never been mar
ried to Aldrich. This she is said to
have said she did to prevent Aldrfch
from being prosecuted for bigamy: At
any rate the girl became i'll in Mobile
and was sent to Cincinnati, where after
ten days illness she died. DR.. I. T.
Knox, of Cincinnati, one of the attend
ing physicians, certified that she died
"of nervous exhaustion, superinduced

A Mothers Bad Instruction.

A little girl stood on the steps of the
Arcade awaiting the arrival OF n stage
which would convey her across WASH
mgton Bridge. Her mother was near
by to see her safely off, and had given
her the amount of the fare, which for
her would be ten cents, as she was more
than twelve years Of age. While wait.
ing she saw some peaches opposite and
asked for pennies to buy some, and the
instruction from the mother was, "Buy
the peaches with one-half of your
money, and when you give your fare to
the driver say you are eleven"
Soon after little Frank got off the
horse-car, and Immediately purchased
some peanuts, and while giving some Of
them to another boy, said, 81 cheated
the driver when I told him would be
eleven in September, and kept my
money for peanuts. Thus early in life
children are learning to tell falsehoods.
In the first instance, by obeying the in
structions of the mother, the child OBJ.
tanned the much coveted fruit, and was
also quick to learn that the mother ap-
proved of the lie. The boy had learned
his cheating from an evil associate.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

IRON is rolled so thin nj the Pitt sburgh
(Pa.) rolling mills that 10000 sheets are
required to make single inch in thick
ness. 1t is as flexible as tissue paper,
and quite as thin.
1T would seem that the entire absence
of sunlight on the deep-sea bottom has
the same effect as the darkness of caves,
in reducing to a rudimentary condition
the eyes of its inhabitants.
INCREASED attention to the laws Of
health has considerably reduced the
death rate in London during recent
years. The chief sanitary evil of the
metropolis now is an impure water sup.
ply, to secure immunity from which the
health authorities are striving. --'
STEPHEN ID. FIELD. of New York, n
nephew of Cyrus w. Field, has patented
an invention for applying electricity as
Il motive power on both surface and ele-
waited railroads, and his patents are said
to antedate all other claims. The elc-
waited roads will test his motor and
adopt it if il works successfully. The
important feature in this invention Is
that an attachment is provided which
will render collisions impossible, each
train automatically preserving n safe
Itoul tutl Aho
brakes are to be operated by the same
electrical currents which propel the
motor.
DIR. PHI:soN has proposed new
method of solving the question of
cheap household light. He has sue
cecded, with comparatively feeble cleo
tric current, in percepubly increasing
the phosphorescence of certain bodies
a. fo. k,-,
of the sun. He incloses in Geissler
tube, containing gas in more or less
rarelied condition, a hosphorescent
body, the sulphuret of barium, for in
stance. BY causing a constant current
of a certain intensity to pass through
the tube, he obtains uniform and an
agreeable light, at an expense which he
estimates to be less than that of gas
light.
MUCH attention has been directed to
some new processes for producing q
cheap gas by the decomposition of
water, which, in the form Of steam, Is
brought in contact with incandescent
carbon. The reports made by the
scientific press state that the experi-
ments lately made i'm this direction i'm
Sweden and Russia have been attended
with favorable results, and various
scientific authorities, some of them Gov
ernment officials, declare that the gas
has been employed for welding wrought
iron, for smelling in crucibles, both pig
iron and steel, the effect being very sat
isfactory in respect to the heating power
of the gas. For illumination, this kind
of gas is claimed to possess some pecu-
liar advantages. When used for this
purpose. the gas is conducted through a
vessel filled with cotton moistened with
benZiae.

Wild Birds and the British COnstitu.
ton.

THE British Parliament has passed a
law for the protection of wild animals;
but, as :. boys" are the chief enemies
of wild birds, the punishment, like chill
dren's books, is adapted To their infant
capacity. They are To be " reprimand-
ed" As n general rule boys most in
clined to shy stick or chuck stone at
wild birds, are not overburdened with
reverence, and the law has defined with
comical exactness the conduct which
shall imply that the reprimand has not
been duly and dutifully received by the
criminal. Ii, when reprimanded, he
"shall, by laughing, whistling, dancing,
cooking snooks, turning cart wheels, or
otherwise signify his contempt for the
justices and their reprimand, It shall be
lawful for the Court to require the at
tendance of his mother, grandmother,
aunt or other female relative intrristcd
with the charge of him To make in
quiries of them as to the way in which
he has been brought up and rs to where
he is expected to go to-" The law
further defines its definitions by enact
ing that laughing shall include ssgrimac-
ing, 'mugging' or any voluntary contor-
ton that shall appear disrespectful to
the Court" dancing shall include s.per.
forming the frog hornpipe'" or "any
movements of the lower limbs unaccom-
panied by change of place and watch
the Judges shall deem unnecessary to
locomotion; :" ''cocking snsoks ~ sshall
mean taking a sight or the pressing or
placing of the thumb or thumbs of eth
er hand or both hands over or against
the nose and the stretching forth or ex-
tending of the fingers of such hand or
hands, and shall further include any
gesture indicative of contempt" and
"turning cartwheels g" shall "include
standing on the hands or head, whether
with or without the support of wall or
other perpendicular or horizontal sup
port for the feet"
With these statutes before him, the
British boy as well as the British magis-
trate can hardly fail TO detect and COM
prehend those minute fractures of tho
British Constitution which, IL not re-
paired in time, might end in bringing
the whole thing down upon their un,
lucky heads. Under the agis of such n
law, not only will the wild birds find
shelter, but the estates of the realm per-
ceive new security in the painstaking
conscientiousness Of the British law-giy,
