The ELECTRICAL Propulsion OF VESSELS. -
good deal has been said of late about eec-
tricity as a motive power, and there is doubt
less popular faith that the storage batteries
have practically solved this interesting prob
lem. But this is not Thomas A. Edison's
view. He declares the idea of propelling
vessels by electricity to be absurd, and the
claims put forth for the storage batteries on
both sides of the Atlantic to be the work of
INSCRIPTIONS persons. The chief difficulty
with stored electricity is that it is nothing
more than a secondary battery it must
receive its energy from something else and it
cannot possibly exceed that in amount. The
cheapest mode of producing electricity is by
a steam engine fed by coal. The electricity
is but the energy developed by COAL and
practically there is q great loss of power.
Then the expense must be much greater than
the steam, so great as to destroy the practical
value of this motor. Arguing in this way it
is readily seen that Mr.. Edison thinks but
lightly of the recent successful driving of a
40-feet steam launch upon the Thames, eight
miles an hour for eight hours, by means of
the Sellon-Volckmar storage batteries. 1t is
certain that this feat was accomplished, but
Mr.. Edison evidently considers it nothing
more than an interesting scientific expert
ment and possible future amusement for
lark, to fill boiler with champagne and use
London Dock brandy for fuel The marine
steam engine, on the other hand, is a model
of economy ss we'll as mechanical perfection
and can now produce one-horse- power an
hour at an expense of from one and half to
two pounds of coal Electricity must either
be cheaper than this or present some decided
advantage if it is ever TO displace coal The
general Impression is that electricity does of
fer an advantage in that it throws open to
freight the great space occupied by steam
er's coal bunkers. But Mr. Edison disputes
this too. The engine of the Alaska, for in
stance, the best ever made, develops IL, 00C
horse. power The maximum possible eff
! cheney of the electric storage battery, suppos
ing its construction to be theoretically per
feet, is sc pounds per horsepower an hour
But supposing it possible to propel the Alas,
ka across the Atlantic as she is naVigated by
stored electricity, it would not only necessi
tate an engine at Liverpool and another at
New York to charge the batteries, but thu
| dynamo and batteries carried on board would
have to weigh something like SO, 900 tons. 1
Mr., Edison is right, therefore, marine naviga
tion by electricity must be considered, as fa
as present attainment goes, only the wildes
dream of the visionary.

study Plan. for NHintar.

At this time of the year, when schools and
colleges reOpening spread a new desire for
knowledge throughout the country, many who
have not means for extended courses of learn
ing, or who wish to pursue advanced studies,
are beginning to make plans of study for the
winter. In most cases the making of plans
will be found easier than the fulfllment; for
business" is found tiresome aud engrossing,
and the pleasures of society are exacting. Yet
there are ways of study which may not inter-
fere with the duties of life, and which are
more satisfactory than society. Among the
methods devised for literary encouragement
literary clubs, started usually each fall are
the most helpful when conducted with spir-
it of true earnestness Many of the clubs in
Boston, and later in st. Louis, have become
famous for their good results, and their effect
upon that indescribable quality called the
tone" of a city cannot be over-estimated. As
promoters of literary culture as aids in social
life, and as a means Of recreation, literary
clubs have won the praise of the most Guilt
vated from the days of Athens, and perhaps
earlier, if one likes. 1t is to be hoped that
New England will continue to maintain these
forms of literary opportunity with the usual
success; for the enthusiasm of the West in
that direction is making the race close in lit
erary reputation. Near assistants of the clubs
are the different societies for promoting study

MAKING BANK-N PAPER.-The paper on
which United States currency is printed is
manufactured at Dalton, Mass. Eighteen or
20 treasury girls who earn SO per day, count
the sheets, examining each one closely and
rejecting all imperfect ones. An automatic
register at the end of the machine registers
every sheet that is cut of and laid down. The
register man takes them away in even hun
dreds, and they are immediately counted in
the drying room. In all the various process
es of finishing every sheet is counted, and
they are again counted on their receipt at
the treasury department in Washington The
great protection of the government against
counterfeiting lies in the paper here made.
The distinctive feature is the introduction of
colored silk threads into the body of the pa.
per while it is in process of manufacture.
They are introduced while the paper is in the
pulp and are carried along with it to the end
of the machine where it is delivered as actual
paper This has been more fatal than any
thing else to professional counterfeiters.

LOOK AT THE AsToRs," writes the New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia Rec
ord. Only few generations ago and they
were butchers, selling meat to any one who
wanted to buy it now they are considered
the most exclusive family in New York. The
Astors, by the way, will celebrate the centen.
nial of the arrival of the first Astor in New
York some time next month. Old John ia.
cob Astor came over here from Germany a
hundred years ago and set up butcher shop
in the Bowery, where he made great deal Of
money. The brothers of this original Astor
were musical instrument makers, and when
the famous John Jacob started in the fur
business in New York he had musical instru.
ments as one of the departments of his trade.
Between flutes and furs he made about
quarter of a million dollars in sixteen years.
They were real merchants in those days and
owned their own ships, and Mr.. Astor used
to load his vessels with furs and send them
TO London; from London they would go TO
China and return to New York with a cargo
of teas. 1t 10 said that he often netted as
much as $4,000 on q single importation of
that article. The greater part of his money,
however, was made by judicious investments
in real estate. The Astors bought property
uptown when other people were buying be-
low Canal street. l believe they own as ma
ny as 800 houses in the most thickly popu-
lated uptown districts Most of their houses
are built of a grayish yellowstone, and are
devoted entirely to renting The Astor home
is now on Madison avenue-at least that is
where Mr.. William B. Astor. the senior men,
Der of the family, resides-and it is built Of
the same colored stone as his tenant houses.
Over the front entrance is a glass and stone
inclosure devoted to flowers, which breaks
the monotony of the stone walls and gives it
very pretty appearance from the street.
Mr.. William B. Astor looks every inch the
millionaire. He is not pretty, but he is dis
tinguished looking, is tall and stout, with a
ruddy complexion and close cropped mus
tache and longish side whiskers that grow
straight down from the ears. But Mr.. Astor
is very much afraid of getting too stout and
he used TO walk all the way from his Office
which WAS in the lower part of the city
Prince street, l think-up to his house on
Madison avenue. This is about the only ex-
ercise that most of the New York men get.
They dislike walking for walking's sake, but
will walk up or down town once a day as a
sort of duty. l fancy they find it necessary,
| because most of these bankers and brokers
are high livers, and il they do not take some
exercise are very apt to be visited with ills
that come from high living The wealth of
the Astor family now is said to amount to
| $50, 600, 600 apiece for William and John ia
cob, the two oldest. John Jacob has but one
son, William W. Astor, familiarly known as
Willie, the present United States minister to
| Rome.
