A SUCCESSFUL experiment with dyna-
mo-electric machines, in place OF chem
ical batteries, has been made at New
York by the Western Union telegraph
electricians. This is decided progress.
A few years ago is was thought impos-
sible to use dynamic electricity, at least
economically, for Geographic purposes.
Wires running to New Orleans and to
Cape Breton are now successfully oper-
ated by machine-made electricity pro-
duced at half the cost of that from
chemical batteries. And yet the new
adaptation has not passed the expert
mental stage.

The receipts of the Patent Office for
fees amounted in July to sec, 40, which
is larger than the receipts for the same
month in any year for the past decade,
and $3.50 in excess of the receipts
from the same source in July last year.
July is usually one of the dull months
of the year, due probably to the de-
mand for labor in other directions.
Even this large sum is over s, 600 below
the average for the preceding SIX
months, during which the receipts ag-
gregated 1891, $40, against S49,o25 for
the first six months in 1880. In March
of the present year the receipts ran up
to 81, 400. From these figures 1t would
appear that the inventive talent Of the
country has by no means been ex-
hausted.
