Some genius has conceived an entirely nen
application Of electricity. An Electric News
,soulpany has bean formed with view TO
printing newspapers in different parts of
London and the country simultaneously. A
transmitter IN the form of a plano-llke lnstru
nent will be stationed at SOME central point.
This will communicate with four district sta
tons, where, with all the stock i'll trade of
printing office. including machines like those
used by The London Times, will be fixed re-
reiving apparatus which, as the transmitting
Instrument is played upon by the central
operator will set type i'll every required form.
This will then be stereotyped, and in due
course -four newspapers will be produced sim,
UNANIMOUSLY in four different parts of London
The company claims that its system applies
to long distances as well as short and doe.
not despair Of covering the country with the
invention. A machine has think been cor
structed, but the final tests have not been ap-
piled. bne or two of the great London Jour
mails have had an outline of the plan laid be

any Inspection Of the process. There are
many wonders yet to be revealed to US, but

Around The World.
by Reauest.l

The friends of whiskey are forever
propounding the question, eff you
stop the distilleriers where will the
farmers find market for their corn?"
They have all the fondness for this
question that a wag has for a conun-
drum, and as much disgust for the
man who can give the answer
Nevertheless, we will try to answer
1t. At the present rate of consump-
ton, agreed upon by the distillers,
as the maximum allowed by the de-
mand for their products, the distille-
ries of the country use about ten
million bushels of corn in one year.
The corn product of the United
States last year was about two thou
sand million bushels, so that if the
distilleries use the maximum allow
ed by the pool, the amount thus
used to the whole amount produced
Will be as ten to tl0O thousand, or lust
one-hof Of one per cent. How great
lywould that affect the price ofcorn.
even if there could be foundno other
use for the 100000 bushels ?
Suppose the average price of corn is
forty cents per bushel, with the dis
tilleries running, then, allowing that
their stopping would affect the price
just in proportion to the amount
thus thrown out of demand. we
should have the price come down
just two mills, or oncJfM of a cent
per bushel.
In this case, instead of 40 cents.
the price would be 80 As cents
But this would not be the case
That 100000 bushels of corn
could be put to some use even more
profitable than the making of drunk
ards, and it could be easily shown
that demand for good corn bread
and corn-fed beef would be So in
creased, among the drinking and
impoverished classes, that the nrice
OF corn would be enhanced rather
than decreased. '''e'

There is nothing remarkable in
this weeks program among the diff
ferent theatres except the unprece-
dented success of "Erminie" at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, and it is
quite remarkable that this should
prove such a veritable ego" since the
opera itself is certainly confined to
the ranks of mediocrity and its re-
demption is in the character and
popularity of the caste which con-
tains a dozen of Philadelphia's op-
cratic favorites. It's success has
been SO unequivocal that it is to be
transferred to the Academy of Music
next week and the original compa-
ny now at the Chestnut Street
will be supplemented considerably,
by all the members of the Casino
company No. 2, and it is to be
brought out with unequaled splen-
dor by this double company.
"The Mystic Isle" commences on its
fifth week and the popular interest
in this charming opera is not dimin-
ishing in the least, but it can never
attain the wonderful run of popular
predecessor, "The Little Tycoon"
However any opera which this
house presents always, becomes
popular because of the handsome
mountings and accessories which
Manager Brotherton invariably pro
vides for his productions. And then
too the Temple Theatre is such a
beautiful and luxuriously appointed
house since the recent improvement
that it is always a delight to enter it.
Several inovations have been made
in the caste and text, all of which
are improvements, and they consist
of numerous interpolated songs and
tuueful melodies.
McCaull's Josephine Sold by Her
Sisters" has not had the success
which generally attends the produc-
tions at this house. While it was
very tuneful opera and rather adj
mired by the habitues of this fashion
able house yet there is nothing strik
ing about the opera or the music
though the latter is quite attractive.
Of course it is handsomely mounted
and acted by good company but
it doesn't happen to strike provinci-
al Philadelphia favorably and that is
all there is about it. It will be with
drawn next week in favor ofthe New
York success, "The Growing Hen"

Well you know the end. Philip

Itwas curious, undoubtedly. The
three hungry guests who were doing
justice to the good cheer of the

summer holiday, a Scotchman from
the mouth of the Clyde and an
American tourists from New Eng
land taking hasty run to Europe
and back. They had encountered
one another in front of the snug
little wayside inn, at a point where
several roads met, and had agreed to
dine together in honor ofthe coinci-
dence.
The dinner lasted a good while,
for all three had walked far that
morning. But nothing can last for.
ever, except a lawsuit or a serial
which is paid for by the sheet, and
at length our heroes showed signs
of having had enough.

know how you feel, gentleman, but
it seems to me that it's just about

"And before we co." suggested
the Englishman, "let's toss up for

Scott, "I'm thinkin' the best way

"Ay; but before Eve there was
