TELPHERA AGE.

London Times. Oct. l9.-Telphe
rage is the name which has been gi-
ven to a system of automatically
transporting goods BY the agency
Of electricity as the motive power,
which system was the invention of
the late Prof. Fleeming Jenkin. by
ing in June last, however, the Pro-
lessor did not live to see his lngeni-
Gus ideas carried out on a practical
scale He had begun the construc-
ton of II telpher'line on the estate
of Lord lIampden, at Glynde, near
Lewes, but his plans had to he per-
fected by Prof. Perry, his successor
as the engineer to the TeIplitrase
Company. This line has been COM
pleted, and was formally opened On
Saturday last by Lady Hampdel,
who electrically started a loaded
train on the line.
The line is double one, nearly q
M;ls in length, and Is composed ct
two sets of steel rods, three-quar-
ters of an inch in diameter, SUP
ported on wooden posts of T-shape
and about eighteen feet high. The
wires are supported one on either
end of the cross-piece of the i,
which is eight feet long The car
riers, or skips, as they are technl-
cally termed, are iron trough shaped
; buckets, each holding about two
hundred weight, and suspended from
the line by a light iron frame, at the
upper end of which is pair of
grooyed wheels running on the line
of rods. A train is made up OF ten
f of these skips, which are in electrl-
S cal connection with each other, and
e with an electrical MOTOR which is
r placed in the middle of the train,
), having i've skips i'll front of and tive
behind it. At a point about midway
a Of the length of the lire is the en-
S gine-house, in which is a steam en-
t CINE which drives the dynamos
t From these latter the current is lee
to the line, and thus to the electri-
almotor which moves. the train. TIE
t use to which the lire Is put is tt
n carry clay from pit 10 the ulyndt
e Railway siding, whence it is deli
t veled into trucks, and transported
S by rail to the works of the New
g Haven Cement Company.
l. AT the charging end of the telpher
V line the skips are loaded,each with
> about two hundred weight of clay,
o the train thus carrying one ton. A
i laborer, by touching key, starts
g the train, which travels at speed
|, of from four to five miles an hour
e along the overhead line to the Glynde
t, Station. Arrived there another la
d borer upsets each skip as it passe:
IS over railway truck, into which the
L. clay is thus loaded. This upsetting
lie however, will eventually be per.
s. formed automatically by means of
Of lever on each skip, which will con-
TO in contact with a projecting arm a
l. it passes over the truck. The labor
re er at the discharging end of the lin
We has full control over. the train. an
lis can stop, start and reverse it at viii
ly as can also the man at the other c
an loading end.
nd There are two trains at Glynd
but only one is at present used, thi
being found sufficient to deliver OF
e. hundred and fifty tons of clay p,
&c week at the Station-the miaimv

quantity required by the cement
company. The trains need no atten-
ton when running, as they are 60
verned to run at the same speed both
on rising and falling gradien 8. An
automatic block system is provided,
so that as many as twenty trains
can be run on the line without the
possibility of collision. The telphs-
age line at Glynde being the first
erected, it is admitted that its de-
tails are capable of improvement.
1t, however, successfully demon
strates the ingenious idea of Prof.
Jenkin in utilizing electricity as a
source Of motive power. Beyond
this it can hardly be said to go at
present.

Death Of Victor Hugo,

Victor Hugo, was dying in Paris at last ad-
vices Victor Marie Hugo, the greatest French
poet and novelist Of the present generation, WAS
born in Besancon Feb. &c, 1902. Being the son
of an officer whose military duties called him
out of France, he was carried in childhood to
Elba, Corsica, Switzerland and Italy, and in
1909 to Paris At the age Of twenty he pub
lished his first volumn OF sOdes and Ballads"
which created a sensation. Two novels Han
d'Islande" QS23) and Bug Jargal" [S25),
showed his force and originality in prose, also
his predilection for the horrible and monstrous
which permeates his greater works.
Having reached the highest distinction in
literature in 1871, election to the French Acade-
my, in spite of the opposition Of the old clas-
sical school, he INDUCED in political aspira-
tons which We gratfied by King Louis Phil
ippe in 1915, who made him peer of France.
In 1856 he published Les CONCENTRATIONS ;"
in 1859, TIA Iegende DIES Slec]es," and in 1867,
"Les Miscrables," the latter simultaneously in
nine languages and eight cities "Les Miser-
ables" is unquestionably his most popular if
earnest friend of the laboring class, and on
several occasions delivered fervid public adj
dresses on behalf of workingmen. Further
more, in accordance with his lifelong principles,
he WAS one of the strongest sympathizers
whose influence tho Irish people enjoyed in
their late struggle against the landlords, and
it was he whom Mr. Parneu most eagerly
sought for advice and comfort at the time Of
his visit to Paris in 1882, nor did he seek in
vain.

Profit in Fruit Raising.

With all the tons Of grapes raised,
how is it there is not a gallon of grape
syrup to be had for love or money in
market? Ii you don't know That grape
juice boiled down to a clear syrup is
the most relishing thing in sickness Or
health for comsumptives, and to keep
people from getting consumptive, to
be eaten as food or diluted for drink,
that would Danish wine sooner than

something to learn. This article. once
known would prevent all danger of
an over-crop of grapes, for it would
be made and kept by the barrel, and
exported for use in all climates. The.
new production of cider jelly, which
is merely cider boiled down, without
any addition, till it is solid, dark
jelly, is a great gift to the house
keeper, and will be: the salvation of
the apple or chards. What ifapples
