A House Lit by a WATERFALL.

Much curiosity has been felt among scen.
tific men as to the result of Sir William Arm
strong's experience in lighting his own house
in Scotland by the electric light supplied by
the agency of q waterfall Sir William Arm
strong gave recently an interesting account
to the Institution of Civil Engineers of his
experience during nearly year; and the
remarks which he made on the subject have
just been privately circulated, in anticipation
of their publication in the ensuing quarterly
volume of the proceedings of the Institution
of Civil Engineers. The source of power
employed is a force or cascade nearly q mile
from Sir William Armstrong; house. in con-
nection with which he has erected a turbine
from which he obtains seven horse power
The light is directly produced by the driving
of the dynamo electric machine from this
turbine, and the only cost hey ond interest on
machinery and renewals is the pay OF .
lAborer who attends upon the machine at
night. After repeated trials which proved
unsatlsfactory-of the arc system, Sir William
Armstrong adopted the Swan incandescent
arrangement He has thirty pairs of lamps,
each single lamp yielding as much light as an
ordinary duplex kerosene lamp, which is usu-
ally estimated at twenty-five candles. The
lamps supplied by the company are some
what variable in their durability, but with
further experience this drawback will no
doubt be overcome The delicacy of the
system is illustrated by the fact that while
ployed to drive the generator, each revolu-
ton produced slight twinkle in the light
when the joint of the belt ran over the pull
ley. To obtain uniformity it was necessary
to use an endless belt, made like a fiat chain,
of leather links stamped out of the sheet and
joined by pins form of belt which gives
very regular motion. 1t is probable that in
most if not in all cases where water is en-
ployed as the motive power, the introduction
of an accumulation will be found desirable in
order to insure perfect steadiness of light.
Economy of the method is very great :; and
Sir William Armstrong stated that no def
cheney of either candle power endurance
in the lamps wouldinduce him to abandon the
system. The incandescent light has no con-
nection with the atmosphere, and has, there
fore, no communicating effect. 1t has very
little heating effect, is perfect in color, and
is regarded by Sir William Armstrong as the
perfection of lighting for domestic purposes.
private experiment of this nature, made by
competent engineer for his own personal
comfort. has a value which it is needless to

New YORK, Aug SIT is claimed that red
wheat for August in this market is cornered
and that the short interest outstanding is
largely in excess of the wheat in store, even
if the shorts could get it, which they cannot,
as it is all held by not more than four or five
houses Short selling was done week or so
ago when the movement of grain at the West
made it look though New York would be
swamped in wheat but the receipts at the
West are diminishing and this decreased
movement must have an important effect en-

The Outlook For Crops.

CHICAGO, Aug. s.-Except in the winter
wheat sections of Wisconsin and Michigan,
where much damage has unquestionsbly be. n
done, the crop reports are encouraging.
Dispatches from Northern Dakota report
that harvesting on the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad is making good progress, and
the result is even better than previous antici-
patons.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. s.-The hot, show
cry weather of the past week has caused
decided set back in the harvest prospects.
Probably two thirds of the wheat in this
State is safely gathered, but 1t looks now as
though the bulk of the remaining third was
in danger of destruction. 1t is in the field
still, and reports indicase that it has begun
to grow in the shock. These fears may be
exaggerated, but certain it is that great ap-
prehensions are felt throughout the central
and northern parts of the State, and very
gloomy reports are coming in. The weather
continues muggy and everything is unfayor-
able.
