Electricity as a Motive Power,

a correspondent of the London
Times writing of the Electric EXhibi-
ton at Paris, says:
During the last few days a number
of new machines have been in action to
show the different applications of cleo
tricity as motive power. This is
special branch of the subject, which
will attract large number Of visitors.
Most OF the machines of this class are
in the northwest corner of the building.
Here the plowipg machine of NJ. Menier
is exhibited by M. Felix, and although
it does not actually plow the ground, it
is interesting TO see the way in which
the electro-motor drags the pillow with
three shares across the space devoted
to it, while workman sits in it and
guides its direction. Then there is
circular saw driven by electricity. The
diameter of the saw is three feet, and
the planks upon which it works are five
inches thick. M. Plat exhibits in the
same part of the building a stone.cutter
and an electrical hammer which does
all the work usually assigned to the
steam hammer. Close to these ma
chimes is another for pumping water,
driven by Gramme motor; the large
volume of water which is thrown out
conveys to Che eye some idea of the
great force which can be transmitted
by electricity. although in reality this
machine does not require nearly so
much force as many other motors in
the exhibition. In the same corner we
find number of machines for sewing
and for driving band-saws, and so
forth, all driven by the convenient little
motor of M. Deprez. There is also an
embroidering machine, which is more
