The great electrical problem which is
now exercising The minds OF scientists
and inventors, is to discover some
method Of obtaining electricity direct
from the combustion Of coal, instead OF
having to get it by the expensive and
roundabout way of first producing heat.
then by that heat producing steam power,
and finally developing electricity by the
use OF that steam power. This, it is ap.
parent, is very indirect and expensive
method Of work.
Mr.. Edison, being recently Intercepted
in regard to this matter, said: "I have
been working away at it for some
months, and have got to the point where
an apparently insurmountable obstacle
confrcnts me. Working at the problem,
now seems to be very much like driving

combustion of fuel. Jablochkoff tried
his hand at the same thing some years
ago, and so did some Germans, but the
results were laboratory curiosities only.
" give myself i've years to work at it,
and shall think myself lucky if l succeed
IN that time. The unscientifc world has
10 conception of what such discovery
would mean. 1t would put an end to
boilers and steam engines; it would make
power about one tenth as cheap as it is
now; it would enable steamship to cross
the Atlantic at nominal cost; it would

The car Works Prospering.

The Indianapolis Car Manufacturing Company
are now engaged in building 500 ventilated fruit
cars for the Cincinnati Southern road the ex-
-Srem5length of which is 80 feet over all; width
eight feet and six inches. These cars are pro-
vided with double doors-one composite, for ven
tilation, and one in the ordinary way. Also, pro
vided with four ventilated openings on each
side of car, and similar openings for ventilation
on each end of car. In the construction of each
will be used 900 feet yellow pine, 1000 feet
white pine, 1000 feet white oak, 1000 pounds
cast iron, aside from the wheels which make T. O40
pounds more, forgings and wrought iron, 1856
pounds to the car 10 pounds journal brasses or
bearings. The aNles are what are known as the
TRaoul axle, or colorless journal, and weigh $50
pounds each, or 1 $50 pounds to the car The
roofing is what is known as the Chicago roofing
galvanized iron fluted. The cars painted green.
with letteiings white, and are constructed on
the five foot guage for the Alabama Great
Southern division of the c., N. O. & T. P rail
road. They are shipped on fiat cars to Cincin-
matt, already mounted their own trucks.
They are now constructing ten a day, and en-
ploy on an average of 500 men per day, the pay
roll for labor alone amounting to about So 800
per week. These cars are paid for by capitalists

The witty paragrapher and the funny man OF
the newspapers have recently struck new lead
in recounting the amusing mistakes which may
occur by operators giving the wrong party to n
subscriber or switching off some one who has
begun conversation and connecting him with
others who are talking.
A sample story is about customer who rang
up his butcher to inquire what he had put in
the last sausage sold him, Before the butcher
could respond, the operator disconnected and
the customer was let into conversation between
two men about well which had just been
cleaned, and the one who was talking was relat-
ing what he had found in it, The customer only
heard 1.-TWO dead cats, three rats and when he
threw down the telephone in horror, and the
agonies of cholera patient were endured by
him for the next hour. Another tells OF how
a young lady was shocked by having, I'M
known to her, butcher boys account of the
slaughtering of a calf switched in upon young
mans description of runaway in which q
mutual young lady friend was concerned. In
the midst of the account the lady listener heard
a voice say, II then cut her throat, grappled
her by the leg and and dead swoon prevented
her hearing the conclusion.
A mistake not exactly of this kind, but still a
pretty good sample Of amusing errors which
occur, is reported from the Office of gentleman
in this city. and as its truth is vouched for it IS
additionally interesting. A young business man
rang up, calling for a gentleman friend The
operator mistook the number and lady's voice

A Life and Death Struggle.

While the political contest has been going on
an internecine war on raiload rates, bitter in
character has attracted but lttlel attention ex-
cept from those whose investments have
been undermined, and leading securities now
range lower than in 1873. The worst feature of
the whole is that this difficulty does not admit
of any immediate adjustment The struggle
between the West Shore and the New York
Central, about which everything hinges is
struggle of life and death. The New York
Central people are convinced that the business
tributary TO the line will not support the two
roads, and that no compromises no pools no
twisting or turning can yield net earnings suf-
1icient for six parallel tracks between New York
and Buffalo Upon this belief they have rested
their action The West Shore people have met

run parallel with old ones namely, that it takes
time for the travelling and trading public to find
out that there Is any such new road in existence
