RkPUB11oAN PROSPECTS IN UNION COUNTY

REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS IN UNION COUNTY.
The preliminary OF 1888 in Union County will
take place within weeks when the township elections
win be held. The Democrats, who efectually
overthrow year and thereby lost control OF the
Board OF Freehoders for tho first time I'm OF
have quietly laying plans regain their lost
ground. w. T. Martin. ex Director Of the Board who
for many years represented the Fanwood district until
he had regarded himself nvincibc has recovered
from experienced by the defeat given him
by year and mas devoted deal OF
the In repairing his fences for 1855. But
tho Republicans awake and thoroughly organized In
the township Another township which redeemed
last year is that Of Crawford John Iseman, like his
colleague Fanwood had long represented the dts
trict In the Board OF Freeholders but the Republicans
succeeded defeating him by hard work and good organi
zaon. Upon the control OF the Board largely depends
the political complexion OF the county
The law making the term OF Freeholders two
years instead Of one, did go into effect until after the
township elections OF 1887 that those who chosen
this year will be for years The cities OF Railway,
Painhed Elizabeth will elect Froeholders until
year. all the efforts OF the parties for the
the BOARD will be IN the townships
Those Of Westcd. Springfield and Linden be counted
suerly Republican; Union and summit Democratic, with
Fanwood and Crawford doubtful The management OF
the board by the Republican majority the past has
been satisfactory and free from any OF complaint
expenses have reduced and many reforms naugur
sted The good condition OF the party through the work
o, the Republican clubs In the county gives strong
hopes for success.

rtninntion Of the SUMS Enerry.

Many plans have been proposed for the
direct utilization Of the suns energy
Ericssan's heat engine supplied by solar radi-
ations; the plan Of NM. Conova, Piffre and
Mouchot, who proposed to concentrate the
suns rays on mass Of water, which would
be turned into steam; with q number Of
others. none Of which have even reached the
stage Of successful experiment. Mr.. Edward
Weston proposes, and has patented, the idea
Of using a thermopile, which is to be placed
In the focus Of mirror or lens, and which is
to be used to charge a storage battery from
which the energy is finally TO be drawn. An
electro-Inagnet in the circuit is 50 arranged
as to cut out tho pile whsn its electro-motiye
force falls below that Of lhe battery. When
we consider the very low efficiency Of ther-
inopiles-not over 3 or 4 per cent.--it would
appear doubtful whether the plan will ever
be more than an interesting suggestion
