An Electric Tramway.

A short length of electric tramway on
the Linneff system in operation in the
depot of the West Metropolitan tram
way company, H%ighroad, C~hiswick, is
thus described in London Engineering:
The current is led to the car through n
conductor laid in a tube or trench in
the centre of the track. The copper
strand or rod which carries the current
is contained within an iron pipe carried
in brackets bolted to the side of the
trough. This tube is covered with in
sulating compound, and between 1t and
each of the brackets there is interposed
a layer Of non-conducting material.
About every four feet there occurs in
the pipe a T-piece pointing upwards,
and into each Of these fittings there is
screwed a plug which binds tightly
against the copper conductor on the
bottom, and at the top carries a trough
like head. This head serves to convey
the current TO a flexible contact piece
carried by two gripper arms which are
fastened to the car and pass through a
slot formed in the top of the trench.
Between the arms there is loosely
stretched a. wire rope on which are
threaded a number Of gun-metal fer
rules to give II weight. This rope lies
in the tTough-like heads. Of the plugs

OF voice and name ofkdth speaker. In
a word this little instru1Aent takes pos
session OF all that is said in It's hearing
in such a manner th&t iHcan reproduce
what it hears in the Ams tone Of voice
at the will of any n Who touches its
electric button. Within the instru-
ment are many complications of fine
machinery, the propelQpg power con-
sisting Of a small electric motor run by
Mr., Edison said he haA spent the last
eight months in perfectiug the phono-
graph, and within a few weeks expected
to have it in shape for practical com-
mercial use. A person who wishes to
send q letter sets the machine in
motion and talks into the receiver
in his natural voice, and at the
rate he usually speaks. When he has
finished, the sheet or p%honogram is
ready TO be put into n little box made
on purpose, to be mailed. Sheets are
to be made in three sizes, one for from
800 to ,00t words, one for 1000 words,
and another for 1000 words. The re-
receiver of the letter or phonogram
puts it into a phonogram instrument
and gets the exact language OF the let
ter. The photograph repeats the letter
as many times as a person wishes, the
~phonogram not wearing out by use. In
taking down music, Mr.. Edison claims
the photograph will be particularly
satisfactory, and that it will take and
give out a piece for any instrument in
perfection . The motor which propels
the machinery is noisless.

PATHS Thrift.

London World: Lreceived a letter
from Madame Pattii top late for last
weeks paper, and at the same time a
letter from a lady, who tells mi that
there is a general impression that
Madame Patti has sung in one concert
at the Albert hall for nething. l made
it my business, although / had not even
the shadow of a doubt about it, to see,
and / can now affirm that did see the
two checks which were rendered
Madame Patti in payment of the two
concerts in the Albert hall. So this in
vention is settled. But / can say what
may perhaps astonish many people,
that. if Madame Patti should offer me a
concert to sing for nothing, I would by
no means dream of accepting it,. Not
because [ am too proud or to rich to let
anybody put a thousand pounds
into my pocket. Whoever may
entertain such a doubt is welcome
to learn better. No, it is for this rea-
son. So long as l know Madame Patti
she never sang without being paid.
Once only she consented to sing for
nothing---that was four or five years
ago, in the concert Of a dear friend Of
mine. Mind you, it was not l who
asked her. Everything was prepared;
all the expenses which an Albert hall
concert requires were made, n only
on account Of Madame Patt: and on the
very morning of the concert there came
a letter from Nicolini to express his and
Madame PATHS despair that she was
hoarse and could not sing. The gentle
man who gave the concert had no
choice but to announce the fact, and to
publish that letter, photographic faults
and all. For exceptional reasons it did
not matter to that concert. But in the
usual way you must understand that
Madame Patti not singing in a Patti
concert, nothing remains but to return
the money, and instead of putting e5O0
in your pocket, it might take five or six
hundred out of it.

A Lantern for Human Throat.

The young English electrician to
whose ingenuity, I believe, Mr.. Irving
owed the cleverly contrived effect of
the sparks which fly from the blade of
Mephisto's sword in Faust" has peer
further proving what l may call his
electric versatility. His latest inven-
ton, | understand, turns electricity to
account as an aid to laryngoscopical ex-
animation by means of a tiny electric
lamp, which is actually put down the
throat of the patient. 1t was with this
novel electrical apparatus which Mr..
Vesey has invented that Sir Morell
Mackenzie examined the throat of the
crown prince. The lamp is appended
at the end of what looks Ikea long,
slender penholder, and the proportion
ately small battery which supplies the
electricity is worn about the examining
surgean's neck.

high pitch, and the lady was heard to
upraid the gentleman for deprivlng her
of her money and her friends. Just be-
fore the honr for going to the theatre
the row was renewed, and this time it
seemed to be more serious, as Mr.. Main
hall came rushing down stairs, lesv
ing Miss Lewis behind screaming
violently at the top of her voice. A
porter from the Roberts House rushed
over 10 see what was the matter, under
the impression that the lady was re-
ceiving some terrible injury, but at The
| gate he vas net by Mr.. Maiuhall, VINO
told him not TO trouble, that the lady
was only INDUCING in iii of mysteries.
4 lady at the Excelsior, who went to
Miss Lewis aid, says she would not
call the complaint Mysteries. After The
| performance Mr.. MainhaIl asked the
landlord whether he could not have a
separate room, but as the house was full
ne had to return to the apartment taE en-
by Miss Lewis
All this is very sad, especially 50 to
those who are in any Way up in San
Francisco newspaper literature and
who know how that city was
ringing only a lew months
back with the names of this
loving pair, and the details Of how
much they sacrificed to follow their art
together. The divorced Mrs. Mainhal
could tell sad story, we opine, but as
the details are not such as a family
Sunday newspaper should delight in,
we shall say no more on the subject,
except to breathe the opinion that i,
this pair of actors would choose soma
other place than the public highways
on which to air their linen, they would
have less reason to complain of the
strange indifference of the public re
garding their talents.
There has been a good deal of quiet
talk lately among professional and
amateur circles over the matter Of ar
ringing a big dramatic reunion for
Pioneers Day, the "a, the sentiment
being that in the absence of any other
celebration, there could be a huge bill
made up at the theatre. 1t seems apity
that while Miss Ada Cwyer (Mrs. Gro
yer), Mr.. Grover and MIR. Royle are in
Salt Lake, and the Home Cub have
nothing on their a DIS. this sort of al
histriOnic event should not be arranged.
Members of the Home Club who have
looked informally over the matter say it
is out of the question in the tine that
remains to prepare anything new, but
that it might be possible to revive ne
of their early SUI cesses If every one
was lin for It," The play of Pique
and the Two Orphans have heen named
but the former meets with most favor,
becase it gives every one concerned a
better opportunity with a cast like the
which is IS yet merely
talked of in embryo with nothing de-
cided on the affair could without
doubt be made tremendous 90.

MUSICALE.

The recital given last night at the Zim-
merly block by Miss Lillian Humbiin was
largely atteded by the musical circles of
the city, besides many who went as friends
of the pupils, and through genuine in
terest and desire to encourage young
talent,
The hall on the second floor was seated
and chairs scattered around in manner
that gave the place more the appearance
of parlor than hall. Just back OF where
the singers stood curtains were hung IN
front of which was placed On an easel a
hfe-siZed portrait of Buthoven. The pro-
gram as published in yesterdays EAGLE
was rendered without change.
In the opening duet Miss Morrison
though new pupil showed ease, self pos
session and a natural pure quality OF
voice.
Mrs. Frank Coen who has been heard
before in solo work showed marked voice
singers of the city
Mr.. VIII Bracken is SO well and favora-
bly, known as to need no special criticism.
His solo was heartily encored and his full
voice and pleasing manner won him many
friends
The trio '"rhe Mariners" given by re-
quest, was fine thing and the audience
showed their appreciation by yociferous
encore.
Miss Hobbs in her double number sang
with force and excellent rendering. She
has contralto voice rapidly
developing aud of telling quality.
Mr. L. B. Garst, in his solo, Love-
Sorrow" showed richness in voice and a
concise enunciation which is most unusual
in an amateur Since his first appearance
at recitals year ago Mr.. Garst has showed
constant improvement, the result of indus
try, of conscientious and faithful study.
Mr. Robert Smythe sang 'Fairest An
gel' in most pleasing and sympathetic
voice. Though only young singer his
voice has smoothness and legato which
will soon make him more than ordinary
singer. The closing trio By Misses Ham
bin, Hobbs and Bracken filled the house
and was a fitting close to a program SO
evenly rendered throughout.
Miss Hamblin intends giving recitals
during the year from single composers,
taking first Schubert, English songs, oro-
torio, the Italian opera, etc, following. AS
a acher she has rare instructive ability,
and is not only fine singer but thorough
and conscientious musician.
