The secret OF the new machine is
that when an iron rod, "insulated"-
that is, coated with some substance
which will prevent any electricity in it
from escaping away-is moved to and
fro near enough to q magnet to be in
fiuenced by its magnetism, waves OF
electricity will be produced in the iron.
This is called magnetic induction. y
Usually, in making adynamo, the iron,
after it has been coated, or insulated"
is bent into ring, and mounted be-
tween the poles of magnet, and con-
nected with steam engine by centri-
vances which cause the ring-or "arma-
ture," as it is called-to rotate rapidly.
As it revolves, each part comes in turn
underneath the poles OF the magnet
This creates electricity, which is kept
in the ring by means of the insulating
coat, and there is an odd device, called
"commutator," which leads it away to
where it can be stored for use. What
is called "6ramme" machine is one
form of dynamo.
For several years past electricians
have been bringing these dynamo ma
chimes more and more into use, and
making them larger and larger. Wher-
ever you see electric lights burning you
may be sure there is hidden, somewhere
near, a dynamo. Edison has lately
made two, each of which cost about
So, 900 and was large enough to furnish
electricity for thousand lamps Fac h
has twelve immense magnets, and a
great armature made of copper; and
the steam-engine employed to turn the
armature has to be leo horse power, or
strong enough to drive locomotive a
mile minute. The armature revolves
$50 times minute. One of these dy-
namos was sent to Paris to show Euro
peans what American inventors can do.
In reading modern accounts of cleo
tricity you are almost sure to see men

IL Cured Him.

Some years ago a certain Methodist
congregation in Chicago was presided
over by minister who had formerly
held q pastorate in Springfield, Ill. The
preacher was very good man, but he
subjected himself to severe criticism by
constantly comparing his surroundings
with those in Springfield. Nothing was
so nice as it was in Springfield; the
church was fine, but not SO fine as the
Springfield church; the congregation
was Jealous, but it was not Springfield
zealand SO on, all the tine, Spring
field being perfected perfection. At
last one of the sisters hit upon what
she thought might prove a remedy for
her pastor, so at the next "class" she
gave in her experiences. Il have"
said she, found the path dark and
rough, and at times have been on the
point of falling by the wayside and
giving up in despair; | have felt that
my earthly nature was uncongenial
with that heavenly one 1 have been
taught to seek. in the closest association,
and there have been seasons when
thought 1 should never be able to reach
that better land lying beyond the Jor-
dan; but brethren and sisters, since our
dear new pastor has come among us,
feel to rejoice that although may fall
short of attaining the heavenly king
dom, bless the Lord, / shall at least
reach Springfield"
The minister tells the story on him
self and Acknowledges that it cured him.

For the OrDhans.

A Detroit poultry buyer was in Ma
comb County on business, when, just
about dark, his horse became fright
ened at some object along the road and
ran away. The man was thrown out
of his vehicle, but not badly hurt, and
after he had pulled himself together he
he encountered three stalwart tramps,
each one of whom had club. AS they
obstructed the road he was forced to
halt, when one of them said:
Being as you are well-known phi
lanthropist, mebbe you'd like to donate
a couple of dollars towards an orphan
asylum"
"Where is it?"
"Out near Chicago. L don't just re-
member the exact dimensions of the

club afresh, Il must clear nv reputa-

"And it's the same with mel" added
the third.

dollars, and the tall tramp received
them with

Tea Is the drink of the future. Cof-
lee had the start in the race, but tea
ie overtaking il, and will eventually
leave it far behind. England and Rus
sia, the two greatest powers In the old
world, are almost exclusively teardrink-
ers. The Dutch once led the commerce
Of Europe; they drank coffee and sank
consequently TO subordinate place 1t
is interesting to note the habits of ma
tons in this particular. The consump-
ton of coffee in England is, on an av-
erage. less than one pound per head !;
in Holland each man, woman, and
child absorbs twenty-one pounds. Bel
GUM and Denmark each consumes over
thirteen pounds q head, Norway nine
pounds, and Sweden about the same
quantity, while frugal France is con-
tent with less than three pounds. But
the United States, no doubt owing to
their large Scandinavian, Dutch, and
German population, take nearly eight
pounds per annum for every one of
their 100000 of people, though in
some parts of the country tea has al
most displaced it. The Cars subjects
consume only about three-fourths of
an ounce of coffee per head, the small
est amount used by any European ma
ton.
In 1860 tea was sold in England at
the enormous price of sixty shillings a
pound, or, considering the different
value of money then and now, at cost
fully twelve times that at which the
same article may at present be had.
At first it had to contend with great
opposition. Coffee had got the start of
it, and vested interests were at work
when Thomas Garraway in Change
alley began to retail it, not so much as
an agreeable drink as cure for all dis
orders.
1t might be interesting for any one
with turn for philosophizing after the
manner of Buckle, to trace the connec-
ton between the intellectual progress
of nations and the use of the current
drinks. In one of Mr.. Howells' novels,
the cook in the Maine logging camp,
who has read scraps of Agassiz, OAR
win, and Tylor. and is strong on the
subject of nerve nutriment, insisted
that there was profound truth In this
matter. This philosopher of the back
woods considered that tea three times
a day, strong, with treacle in it to
sweeten it, and no milk, was the best OF
"brain food" for men engaged in chop
ping down trees. "Sets 'em up right
on end every time. Clears their heads
and keeps the cold out" In his opin-
ion the tea-drinkels were everywhere
the masters of the coffee-drinkers.
Tea is unquestionably the drink for
the brain-worker. 1t is more refresh
ing, more restorative, more portable,
less heating, more easily made, and
Brillat-Savarin is correct in affirming
that man would grow mad who drank
one litre of coffee every day for three
months continuously-it has the rec.
ommendation of being less deleterious.
This is, perhaps, not the opinion of the
coffee merchants, who are lamentine
over their dwindling trade. Nor, we
may well believe, has England taken &c
tea and cocoa in preference to coffee
merely out of regard for the public
health. Fashion, taste, and conven.
fence must be reckoned among the
causes that account for the change
