The signal service bureau is about ia
test a new system Of storm signals. The
first telegraph station over which the storm
passes is to send kilograms Of its coming
in the direction which il is travelling to
scores, or even hundreds, of miles in adj
vance, to the probable distance which it
may travel, succeeding telegraph stations
always keeping kilograms well in advance !;
also at stations on rapid rivers kilograms
Of coming sudden floods are to be sent to
all towns below having signals established
at each city, county seat and town. A
good sized cannon is to be kept ready by
a fire company or at a military or naval
station, which is to be fired three times rs
a storm or food signal, at intervals of one
minute ifa tornado is coming, at intervals
of threelminutes ifa rain storm is approach
ing rapidly, at intervals Of six minutes If
a rain storm is approaching slowly, and
at intervals of ten minutes if destructive
river flood is coming. The Western Union
telegraph company, with its 10000 miles
of telegraph lines, has offered free tele.
grams Of storms or floods to test this sys-
TEN at all points which may establish the
signals, and all such as will be supplied.
This plan when it shall have been gener-
ally established, will doubtless save more
than many million of dollars annually in
damaged hay, grain and other property, to-
gether with thousands of lives, and all at
a trifllng cost.

The Second District.

The convention which meets here next
Wednesday-the first for the least side''
congressional district-has a good deal OF
work cut out for 1t, If the newspapers Of
the district and their correspondents are
In earnest and find delegates backing their
various opinions when the convention
meets.
The Newport Express with others is for
Gen. Grout; the Waterman and others for
Judge Poland; the Woodstock Standard
for Warren G. French; and other papers
with variety of opinions sufficient to fill
almost any bin. 1t may be said that the
Landmark of White River Junction is
exhibiting tendency not to support Gen.
Groat. We have suspected for some time
that this would be the case.
The caucuses are all TO DO held next
Saturday; the holding of them all on the
same day being an outcome of the Poland
Steele campaign, when the old system
was found to DO too much like grabbing.
They had it down to so fnc a point in the
old second district that they were held on
the same hour of the same day in all the
TOWNS, but the vigor of that rule has been
broken.
We hope that there will be full attend
ance on the several caucuses, and that the
delegates will thus have the ADVANTAGE of
knowing what the feeling of their towns
men IN general is rs to the coming nomin.
alton. So far as the result is concerned,
we do not see that there is getting to be
any great excitement or worry among the
people at large that the convention is In
danger of doing any very foolish thing.
There is in this county no general feel
ing of opposition to the denomination of
Gen. Grout. and at tho same time there is
equally lacking such personal hostility to
Judge Poland as made havoc with his
campaign in 1874 in the old second dis.
trict. Should the preference of this part
OF the district be voiced it would be for
W. 2. Dillingham;. As the matter stands
we should be surprised neither at the re.
nomination ofGen. Grout without subs,ap.
tial opposition in the convention nor at a
general contest in which the convention
shall be found deciding between several
contestants ION the merits" In the las:
case Mr.. Dillingham's friends, we think,
will insist on using his name.

An experiment has recently been made
on the Eric railroad with new locomo.
tive which is claimed by the inventors to
have been satisfactory and successful in
every respect The locomotive is fueled
with hydrogen gas, which is constantly
reproduced by its own heat from water
through the mediation of small proper
ton of crude naptha. There is no smoke
whatever, and it is claimed that there is
absolute safety from all effects of fire. The
experiment was made OF hauling freight
train from Paterson oven the Newark and
Paterson branch to Jersey city. The dis.
lance is 1917 miles and the train arrived at
Jersey City two minutes ahead of time.
Eighty-four gallons of oil were used the
cost of which was little over two dollars.
If subsequent experiments shall prove as
the recent one, the influence of this new
invention on transportation, both freight
and passenger, can hardly be over.csti-
mated.

The Egyptian War,

The English bombardment of Alexan
dria resulted in the flight of Arab Bey
and his troops and the burning of a great
part of the city by his orders or plunderers
The khedive remained in the city and IS
now there in good understanding with the
English.
Admiral Seymour has taken possession
of the city and by consent of the khedive
American marines have taken hand in
extinguishing the fires, keeping order and
protecting any American persons Or prop,
erty.
Arab Bey with few thousand troops
has gone towards Cairo and is in revolt
against the khedive. English soldiers are
on their way from home and from India
to be in readiness to establish the au.
thority of the khedive who is hardly more
than tool in the hands of England.
Nominally it is the business of Turkey
to have supervision of Egyptian affairs as
the khedive Is vassal of the sultan. But
the Turks do nothing and so England is
left to have pretty much her own way.

The recent failure, in the English House
of Lords, of the bill to permit man
marry his deceased wife's sister, calls at.
tention afresh to the curious state of feel.
ing on that subject in England, The
number of widowers who wish to marry
their wives sisters seems to be quite small
but their attempts to get their wishes
legalized have been met by an opposition
of almost passionate bitterness. It is
maintained, in opposition, that the cases
were so few that it would be absurd to
change the law on account of them; and
also, that if legislation were provided for
their benefit it woud lead to an awful
amount of crime, including wife murder
and incest. As the bill was defeated by
the small majority of four, in vote Of
$50; and the royal family seems to have
come over to them, the Prince of Wales
and the Dukes of Edingburg and Albany,
voting in the minority, the triumph Of the
widowers is probably not far distant.
