there was q great incursion of
the moths in that city, and then
when, in the morning, employees of
the electric light company visited
the lights they found on an average
two quarts of dead ''butterfies' in the
globes of The sixty-four lights, making
a total of four bushels-not to. speak of
the lead insects that had fallen to the
ground-of these destructive insects
hat had been lured to their death by
the destructive carbon. On the same
night Reading swarmed with myriads
of moths, which made the air look as If
a snowstorm was falling. They obscured
even the brilliancy of the electric
lights; passers-by were covered with
them, and finally the people built fires
in the streets and burned the insects by
the bushel. Doors and windows had to
be shut in order to keep the pests from
entering the houses. The "miller"
was abroad, and everybody wore a
white hat. Great hosts Of the insects
were killed by the electric lights, and
but for those engines ofdestruction they
would have lived and laid their eggs,

ton and the household goods-if, per-
chance, any of them belonged among

scribes an arc of very fiat amplitude.
1t may be objected that the motion
given by the hand to the disc would
not be sufficiently regular; but while it
is true that it would be desirable to
have a motor attached to the machine,
there is no difficulty whatever in re-
volving the disc regularly by hand, and
by hanging up a small pendulum to
swing before the eyes OF the manipula-
tor he can regulate the revolving mo-

Every disc or ''phonautogram," as
Mr.. Berliner calls it, has engraved at
its center the name of the piece which
it r%eproduces, and also the number, 40,
so or 60. This indicates that the re-
corder moved at a velocity of fifty revolu-
tions a minute, so that wherever a disc
may be used for reproduction people
will know at what velocity to ~revOlve

A TENNESSEE COURTiNG.
Susan and David Get Married Under
llIfinulriaS

DII1CuitlcSs
The next day after the affair at Bur-
toms in Tennessee l went over to An
drews' Fork, seven or eight miles away,
and was made heartily welcome at the
largest of the three cabins, writes M.
Quad in the Detroit Free Press. An
drews had a daughter about twenty
years old, and l 500 understood that
she was to be married next day. Indeed,
n lucky young man was on the ground
and waiting. He was a six-footer, slim
as a toothpick, awkward as q calf, and
dead in love. The girl was more shy,
but not to be blu6ed by my presence.
When l entered the front door the
young man, who answered to the name
Of Davy, ran out Of the back.
He felt confused and embarrassed, and
feet from the house, he hid his face as
much as possible behind a sappling.
Andrews called to him, then Mrs. An
drews called, but he put his fingers in

| got him braced up after an hours
talk, and then we took a cut through
the woods to see the new cabin which
had been erected for the bridal couple.
1t was a humble structure made of poles,
with no door to the doorway and nc
sash in the window. The ground was
beaten down hard for a floor, there was
a rude Fireplace at one end, and a bed
stead had been made of poles laid in
crotches. Davy's mother had given
him IA bears skin, a kettle, a skillet and
a jug, and these were placed In a cor
ner. Susan's parents had given her 6
pan, a kettle, three tin plates, two
spoons, two knives and forks and a bot
tie OF vinegar, and these were placed in
another corner. That was the whole
outfit.

The Improved Gramopone.

In November OF last year the Electri
cal World published the researches OF
Mr.. Emile Berliner, of Washington, in
apparatus for the recording and repro
ducing OF articulate speech and other
sounds. Since that time Mr.. Berliner
has been occupied in further developing
the invention, and has brought to pear
on the subject new ideas which not only
have simplified the manipulation of the
process, but also wonderfully improved
its efficiency. A private performance
of the improved machine has been made
by Mr.. Berliner, and the results which
he obtains with the new apparatus are
indeed marked to an extent which
makes it certain that the aim of the in
ventor to reproduce the human voice in
its natural loudness and with an ab5o-
Lutte recognition, is very nearly accom-
plished. Songs, every word Of which
could be plainly understood, and so loud
that going out of the room and into the
hall, fifty feet from the instrument
could still plainly be heard. A song by
n child twelve years old, was re-
produced with such marked character
lstics that anybody without knowing
who sang it could not but have made
out from the way it was rendered that
it was a child's voice. There
were also songs with organ ac-
compartment, cornet solos, duets,
plantation songs by NEGRO, all of which
exhibited the peculiar characteristics
in each case. The recognition of the
voice by persons knowing the performer
was absolute. Mr.. Berliner cited a case
where u child seven years old recog-
nized his fathers voice without know
ing before hand that his father had
spoken into the machine, and without
having an idea that that voice would be
reproduced. This is important, mas
much as it proves that the %gramophone
has arrived ut a very high stage of per-
lection. Considering the short time
that has elapsed since Mr.. Berliner
commenced this most interesting
original study, there is no doubt that
the next month or two will see the
achievement Of the most perfect results.
The gramophone is based not so much
upon the principle Of the modern phono-
graph as the Leon Scott phonautograph,
which was patented in France in 1887.
The phonautographic record consists of a
wave line upon a surface, and is not q
record Of an indentatiOn into a material
or the record OF a process OF cutting or

The Cleveland P~lalndealer prints the
following special dispatch from Muir
freesboro, Tenn:
This little city is all torn up over a
series Of discoveries that have set
tongues a wagging and turned almost
every one into an explorer. Friday last
Mr.. Quick, of Winnipeg, Manitoba,
spent an hour walking over the battle
field, when two hunters asked him to
assist them in securing a fox they had
hOled near by. AT the spot Mr.. Quick
found a large aperture or rather a cave
They dug into it and almost the first
thing they found wasVa skeleton. Lying
next to it was a valise almost falling to
pieces. In this were found four gold
watches, a set Of diamond earrings, two
diamond finger rings, ten sets of silver
spoons, five silver watches, 1912 in gold,
ST 1851 in greenbacks, 1903 in Mexican
dollars and a letter written by S. f..
C~lendenner, company K, Nineteenth

pany f, Fifth Pennsylvania cavalry. A
number of regulation United States
buttons We're also picked up. 1t is sup
posed some wounded soldier crawled
into the hole and died before he could
get out.
The discovery set scores Of persons on
a close search of tho battle field. While
nothing was found on it, other discov-
cries were made in the cave which,
when fully explored, proved to be
really a large sink hole. Beneath the
mass of recent earth was found a union
officers sword, two or three muskets,
several revolvers, IA gold toothpick and
locket. In the rear was a petriied
body. 1t was in almost perfect shape,
but almost black, though evidently a
white man. In a small tin box was a
lock of long brown hair and what was
probably q knot of ribbon.

Electric Motors.

Iron Age: Electric motors for low
power purposes are becoming more and
more prominent. 1t is of interest to
note that they are now made to be Oper-
ated either by a small battery Of a few
cells or bv 4 current from an electric
light wire, and are capable of success
fully performing work for which steam
power would be Objectionable. For some
years the manufacture Of electric mo-
tors was in a N experimental stage, as
usual in the opening up OF all new en-
terprises, but by this time the difficult
ties seem to have been overcome, and
those desiring to use electric motors
have a number Of patterns from which
to make selection. Prices also have be-
come more reasonable, with increased
competition and the progress toward
greater perfection made through the in
creasing attention given the subject.
The motors can be started, stopped or
reversed by a small lever, which in
simultaneously controls the motion. Jew
elers' and dentists lathes and drills and
similar delicate machinery need n
motor Of this character. which not only
operates at a high rate OF speed, but a
be instantly stopped and reversed if
desired. Sewing machines are a
class of machinery to which these mo-
tors are well adapted. The battery is
placed in the cellar or in a closet out of
the way, from which wires convex the
current 70 the motor placed on the table
of the machine. 1t is always ready for
use, and when not actually in use it re-
Quires no attention to keep 1T in order
beyond an occasional recharging of the
battery. Pumping machinery for do
nestle supply in suburban towns is an
other field to which these motors can
easily be employed, with great comfort,
benefit and convenience, as any resi-
dent of suburban districts can testify
who has been obliged to pump by
hand.
The great advantage an electric motor
possesses it its ~adaptability over a wide
range OF uses for power. While it can
be made sufficiently large to AXE the
place OF a steam engine of comparatively
high power, with economy it can also
be made small enough to operate the
most delicate machinery, requiring but
q small fraction OF a horsepower. The
isolation OF motors is another advan-
tage. They can be placed Just where
they are needed, nc shafting being re-
quired for the small motors, tho attach
ment being made directly to the ma
chine to be operated. This will be APP
preciated by alarge class Of manufac-
turers operating special machinery,
which is run irregularly and without re-
gard to other operations In the same
factory. With tho extension OF cleo
trio light service, the more general IN
PRODUCTION of these small motors would
seem to be inevitable, their value being
already widely appreciated.

hOOping Cough.

II the nurses of children afflicted with

hold them I'VE the edge of the purify

When the little ones are through
w%hooping and hopping, wipe the tears
from their eyes and take them for a
trip on the cable. Repeat this for three
or four days and the whooping cough
will be gone. In the eastern cities the

cent issue, has produced considerable
discussion in electric circles south. An
electrician of Birmingham, Mr.. II. U.
Pattee, writes the following communi-
cation
Under the above heading you pub
lish al article in which a Mr.. Walker
asserts that lightning rods are losing
their place in the public confidence and
are fast going out of use.
He also says they attract lightning.
which Is not the case. In accordance
with the laws which govern electric ac-
tion-laws which are we'll understood by
all electricians-they usually prevent
al electric accumulation OF an intensity
sufficient to produce a descriptive dis
charge. Such a discharge is almost
impossible above a well-rodded building,
the rod being a passive but most eff
Cient agent between the positive aud
negative forces witch attract each
other.
Mr.. Walker says iron rusts off in the
ground and will attract a force which
it cannot discharge. A rod in hat con-
dition would present no stronger attrac-
ton than the finals, crossings, gutter
ings, metal roofs, ETC., in common use,
and which have no means OF discharge
except through the walls of the build
ing. Call u piece OF meJal u broken
lightning rod" and it becomes a source
of alarm; form the same metal into
cresting or ~cornice and it brings no
thought Of danger.
However,the rods now in common use
are made of galvanized iron or copper
and are not open to the objection.
Lightning rods and fixtures have been
brought to that degree of perfection
thai enables manufacturers to guaran-
tee five years protection to buildings
when rodded according to the code of
rules established by the delegates to
the London conference of electricians
and scientists In 1882. Said delegates
being sent by the Meteorological So
ciety, Royal Institute of British Archi-
tects, Society of Telegraph Engineers
and of Electricians and the Physical
society.
These delegates met from time to
time for a period OF four years, and left
no untried to procure all the in
formation possible relating TO the utility
and proper application of lightning rods.
They discovered that for sixty years
lightning rods have afforded absolute
protection to the British navy. while
during the tifteemyears previous to their
application it sustained a loss of 30C
salons and seventy-two vessels. And.
after tho most thorough investigation,
they affirm that there is no authentic
case on record where n properly con-
~structed conductor failed TO do it's duty
