The committee Of scientists who made an in
vestigation of the Edison electric light have
published their report in the american Journal
OF Scte'ce but 1t is pronounced too technical for
the comprehension Of the general reader. The
conclusions OF the committee, upon the whole
seem to be favorable, though in qualified man
ner, as the report says provided the lamp can
be made either cheap enough or durable enough
there is no reasonable doubt of the success Of
the light, but this point will evidently require
much further experiment before the light can
be pronounced practicable" The opinion is
advanced that Edison will eventually over
come this difficulty. The report shows that
while some progress has been made In the di-
rection OF solving the electric light problem,
Mr.. Edison has not yet attained success. The
question OF relative cheapness and permanency
is yet unsolyed, and that promises to be diff
cult one.

new light seems to have broken upon the
ways and means committee In regard to the
tariff After having perSi5tently voted down
all propositions for modification or reduction OF
duties a resolution to put paper and all articles
entering into the manufacture thereof was yes
terday adopted by vote OF to 3. The recent
three days fight made In the House by Mr.
Townshend and his friends no doubt had the
effect OF opening the eyes of the committee to
the existing state OF public sentiment Up to
that time the committee seemed to regard 1t as
one OF its rights to smother all bills not ap-
proved by a majority of its members; but the
three days debate and the discussion over it in
the press apparently awakened the ways and
means to the fact that 1t had been in error.
The Tammany state committee Of New York
have issued their call for state convention to
assemble In Syracuse on the same date and at
the same hour with the regular democratic con-
vention and John Kelly evidently means war
to the knife against Tilden. In spite of the unu-
sual precautions taken by the Tilden commit
tee, the Tammany men secured an opera house
and two hotels In Syracuse for the accommoda-
ton OF their convention and delegates. The
assembling OF the two conventions side by side
will be apt to produce results of great import
ance to the democracy. 1t will either bring
about union Of the opposing elements in the
party or still further widen the breach
The republican party in the Empire
state is not In much better condition than the
democrats. The antiGrant republicans are Or
ganizing with the view OF making themselves
felt at the coming national convention, and a
breach is not unlikely. AS New York is the
pivotal state OF the presidential election, these
political family fights are watched with inter-
est by the whole country; but not with any de-
gree OF alarm. Should both the republican and
democratic parties In New York become divided,
or even disrupted, it would not prevent the cleo
ton OF President who could hold the country
together and administer its affairs properly
Therefore, outside of the politicians, the party
quarrels In New York are not causing any par
ticular distress.

Mild Winter and Crows.

Germantown Telegraph.
The unusually mild weather of the past
winter has been favorable for the increase
Of the crow, and increased they have to
very considerable extent. They have also
become very tame and approach thickly
populated places as freely as they did forty
wears ago Go in almost any direction
from Germantown-and We suppose the
case is the same elsewhere-and we come
upon the pleasant sight of this glossy bird
watching us with its gl;stening eyes as it
yrandly passes over head. Some of the
fields shOne with their glossy backs seek
ing out insect food as industriOusly as it
they were paid by the hour for their labor.
Not grub or worm dare show itself that
does not speedily fall victim. In a day
thousands upon thousands are destroyed
by its ever-watchful instincts. Stray corn
left in the fields never escape it; and even
acorns are eaten when hard pressed. But
all this kind of food must be in soft state
before it consumes it; and for this purpose
they are gathered up and buried, and in
order that they may be concealed from
thieves it is carefully put into hole, COW
cred and pounded down with the bill.
In long, cold winters the crow suffers
greatly for food and water; for the latter
it flies almost daily at times fifty or sixty
miles, when an opening may be found III
the ice. 1t goes for days without eating
and has hard work to get enough to sup,
port life. In fact many die of starvation
during the long spells Of severe weather.
We have seen at least a thousand upon
a single barn helping themselves to insects
and from this it may he estimated the
amount of good they do to the farm. 1t
is not to lie denied that they do some harm
also, but it is mere mite on that side of
the ledger. They may eat some birds
eggs, or even gobble-up young bird now
and then. But, with all their strength,
they are cowardly and are driven away by
even little wren. The king bird is its
mortal enemy, and tiercely attacks it if it
approaches anywhere near the tree on
which may be its nest and they are not
let off easily, as they are pursued some
times a mile, darting upon their huge
enemy and sometimes actually lighting
upon its back and pecking away at it,
compelling Jim Grow to resort to all kinds
of gyratiOn to free itself.
But with all said against it that it is
possible to say, there is no bird SO ad.
vantageous to the farmer as the crow,
always excepting the house sparrow, when
it shall once get sufficiently numerous tc
spread out upon the farms, it now confin-
ing itself mostly to cities, towns and other
thickly populated places.

CisternS for Farm Buildings.
Germantown Telegraph.

Germantown IclcsrapH
In the endeavor to have everything as
convenient as possible about farm houses
and farm buildings, there are few things
more worthy of being cared for than cis
terms to hold the rain water from the
roof. Even where pumps are supplied
it is often an advantage to have cisterns in
addition, rs soft water, which pumps will
not always supply, is of great value. AT
anv rate it often happens that though there
may he pump convenient and water fur
nished by it all one can desire, even the
little labor that pump requires for SIN
gle horse or COW, becomes great task
when many are to be supplied. We know
of one farm where seventy-fve head of
cows, more or less, are on hand and all
the water they require has to he furnished
from pump and it is no small job to do.
Yet on this very farm the land lies SO con-
venient that cistern could be built on an
elevation little above the cattle yard, and
all the water from the roof could 60 in i,

much desire.
There is prevalent idea that they cost
a great deal to make; but it is far less
than is generally imagined: If the land is
solid-say either of clay or rotten rock
the sides of the natural ground may be
shaped like wall, and lining of mortar,
say half an inch, put on before the final
cement coat is given. But if there is any
chance of settling. SO as to crack the NOR
tar framework, "a four-inch brick-work may
he built around first. Most ground is,
however, firm enough for the purpose.
The mortar as it is laid on to form the
lining or framework of the tank should
he very we'll worked by the trowel. The
object is to work out all the air. 1t is the
air-spaces in the wall that make it porous,
and it is through the pores that the water
escapes. A working of the trOwel back
wards and forwards few times over the
soft mortar expels the air and closes the
pores. This is especially important to be
borne in mind when applying the cement.
This need not be put on very thick. The
merest film, if properly worked, is suffi-
cient.
