The Electric Light.


The various exhibitions of the cleo.
trio light, coupled with the recent form
ing OF new companies, have all a
special significance in one direction.
They almost all of them represent more
or less different applications of cleo
tricfty to produce light, and they regis
ter results obtained by different investi-
gators along divergent lines of inquiry
and invention. But taken together
they show that the primal and funda-
mental difficulties have been overcome.
The light has been discovered, has
been subdivided and can be registered.
With these points gained, and with sew
eral sets of skilled inventors working
away each at his own branch, who will
dare to deny that ere long the new
light will be perfected, and its position
established firmly, if not as successful
rival OF gas at least as an active com

A few months ago we gave a bri,

A few months ago we gave brief
account of experiments made at Phila-
delphia with locomotives driven by
compressed air. Similar experiments
have been tried on tramways in the
neighborhood of Paris; but in neither
case was the desired success achieved.
The question, however, was not likely
to be given up; for the advantage of
compressed air over steam is great
from the economical as well as the
practical point of view. Colonel Beau
mont. of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich,
has for some time worked thereat, and
trials of his air engine have been made
with satisfactory results. 1t weighs
ten tons, has reservoir in which one
hundred cubic feet of air can be COM
pressed to one thousand pounds ON the
square inch; and thus charged it trav-
eled from the Arsenal to hartford and
back, about thirty miles, in sixty-three
minutes. The machinery and the
wheels work in comparative silence;
there is none of that noisy hiss and roar
which accompanies the use of steam.
Colonel Beaumont has overcome
some of the difficulties which beset
former Inventors, by placing three
cylinders of graduated size on each side
of his engine, and by applying warmth
TO counteract the cold produced in the
expansion of compressed air. At
present it will draw load of sixteen
tons, and is to be EMPLOYED in the work
of the Arsenal; and there is reason to
believe that similar machinery is to be
tried for propelling the torpedo boats.
With larger engine heavier loads
could be drawn; underground railways
would then no longer be. made sitting
by the sulphurous smoke from steam
locomotives, and horses would no longer
be required on tramways.
1t is known that attempts have been
made to, propel vessels on rivers by
ejecting horizontal column of water
from the stern. This column, by strik-
ing against the surrounding water. sup
piled the propelling power; but it was
not sufficient. Mr.. Heathorn claims to
have got over the difficulty by showing
that 1.-THE force exerted py one fluid
pouring into or against another depends
on the contact of the surfaces, and not
on the sectional area of the flowing
mass, after the flowing mass be once
set in notion" Instead, therefore. of
tubes with large orifice, he makes use
of tubes with narrow outlet, mere
slit, and thus obtains a large superficial
contact, by ejecting water through
series of narrow openings. Chambers

be remarkable series of conjunctions,
and double and triple conjunctions.
The most interesting of these is the
greattwenty-year conjunction of Jupiter
and Saturn in April. This conjunction
is one of the strongholds of the astrolo-
gers. AS it occurs in the sign Taurus,
which they say rules Turkey and Ire
land, they feel safe, on account of recent
occurrences, in predicting very mo-
mentous effects in those countries from
the conjunction. There Will also be
conjunctions of Jupiter and Mars, Venus
and Jupiter, Saturn and Venus, and the
far-away giants Uranus and Neptune
will play part in this remarkable plane

Venus will reach her greatest bright
ness in the spring, and will be so bril-
liant as to be visible at MONDAY. Her
delicate crescent will be favorite OBJ
ject in the amateur astronomers tele-
scope. Saturn will open still wider its
wonderful rings and will be one of tie
chief attractions of the evening sky for
several months. Jupiter will not lose
much OF his present brilliancy before he
becomes morning star in April. Mars
will begin to brighten in the latter part
of the year, and then his snowy poles
and shadowy continents will again be-
come the admiration of those who gaze
through telescopes. In short, there

Love and Friendship.

4
One of the most perilous mistakes
made by woman is to misinterpret the
polite attentions of the men who sur
round her. AT the outset of her career
she is apt to regard every male friend
as probable lover What can surpass
the absurdity, the 'chagrin, the mortifi-
cation, the heart-sickness and heart
soreness of woman who has buoyed
herself upon the hope that advances
are being made to.her,- when in truth
the supposed sutton has no serious in
tentions at all? What are advances.
and when are men making them? "A
course of small, quiet attentions" SAYS
Sterne, "not so pointed as to alarm,
nor so vague as to, be misunderstood,
with now and then look of kindness,
and little of nothing said upon it."
That is mans answer to my question;
the simplest and most straightforward
1 can find, after long and careful re-
search. And what a depth of cunning
and discretion there is in it! The adj
vantages are all on one side; so long as
the man does not commit himself in
words, he can offer any attention he
chooses. If the woman is on her guard
all the better for her; if not, she must
suffer the consequences of her creduli-,
ty. But if the man be really in earnest
how is she to know it, when the coun-
terfeit of love is SO cleveriy5 done? A
maiden friend of mine, who has been
wooed eleven times, and knows good
deal about it, assures me that the only
attentions to be taken notice of, and re-
lied upon, are those that touch the
pocket. "When your Platonic friend"
she says, "begins to offer gifts, costly
according to his means, depend upon it
the affair has become a business with
him as well as with you.'', The Ameri-
can missionary Judson, possessed a VAL
liable watch, which he bestowed in sue
cession before marriage upon each Of
his three wives; when he offered it to
the third object of his affections, he
stated that it had the desirable property
of always returning to him, bringing
the beloved wearer with it. Be sure
the wise and prudent man would never
have parted with his watch, unless he
had been firmly persuaded that he was
making a good Investment, safe TO
bring him in large and clear returns.
When costly offering is laid upon the
shrine, the ofisrers means worship. A
hundred batteries, innumerable hand
pressures and kind-looks'' are as
nothing compared with enc substantial

Remarkable Increase in the Use Of
Opium.

Aquarter of century ago the use OF
opium in Albany was meagre as COM
pared with to-day. There were at that
time but about $50 pounds of opium and
375 ounces of morphia sold during a
year. Then the population was 81, 900
and the consumption of opium about
fortysthrse grains per annum to every
inhabitaut, while the rate of morphine
was l4ss than three grains year to
each person. To-day, with the census
showing our city to. contain more than
81 900, the annual consumption of Opt
UNI hiss crept up to $500 pounds and
morphfa Ito $500 ounces. This large
increase in the consumption of these
drugs cannot entirely be charged to the
growth of the city. Since 1855 the iu-
crease in the city's population has been
80, while sthe increase of the sale of
opium during that time has been 800
per centum and morphia l,l00 per cent
umt making total of these two drugs
OF 1000 per centum in quarter OF a
century, or 2O6 grains OF opium and
twenty-foar grains of morphine to
every inhabitant. Beside this vast
quantity of these drugs, between
100000 and 10000 morphia pills
are sold throughout the city in year.
These pills contain from one-tenth to
one-quarter of grain of morphine
apiece Taking on an estimate 450, 900
pills as the average annual consump-
ton, averaging, say, one-sixth OF a
grain apiece, would make the morphine
in them weigh about ITO ounces. Opt,
nm mills alsO have a large sale. but not
halt so many are sold as of the alkaloid.
1t is estimated by men up in the BUSH
ness that there are five hundred times
as many morphine pills sold as any 9TH
er kind TYRE
OF The $500 pounds of opium disposed
of in this city annually careful inquiry
made by Journal reporter reveals the
fact that fully one-quarter is consumed
by people in its native state. The re-
manning three-quarters are used in
making ! the. different opiates, the
largest proportion being in the
preparation of laudanum. One drug
gist states that where twenty-five
years ago he made it by the gallon, he
now prepares it by the barrel. A quar-
ter OF a century ago an opium eater was
a rarity; to-day the number is large aud
on the increase. Fully four-fifths OF the
opium-eaters are women. These eaters
eventually exhibit nervousness. The
skin becomes shrivelled and the COM
plexion assumes saffron hue. At times
the eater has cold sweats and nausea,
