New YORK, May 1S-G. +, Ruther of
Bridgeport, Conn, claims to have discov-
cred new system whereby material re-
due ion of labor in the fire department
may be brought about. 1t is calei the
electric fire engine" and consists of
motor, to take the place of the present
steam engine. The motors would receive
their power from the dynamos of the eicc.
trio lighting companies. Mr.. Ruther's
idea is to lay down wires from the nearest
dynamos to boxes placed in close proxim.
ity to every hydrant. The instant an
alarm of fire i, sounded an automatic ar
rangement would start the dynamos sup.
plying tho power On the arrival Vt the
engine al the scene of the fire connection
of the wires would be made and the pumps
set to work Immediately.

ATOMS OF ASTRONOMY.

IT has been calculated that not less than
10000, 900 Of meteors, each large enough to
be visible as a "shooting STAR" enter our
atmosphere daily.
THE bright star Canopls emits more than
one thousand five hundred times the light Of
our sun. Sirius is at such distance that
its light occupies nearly nine years in reach
ing us, and its real brightness is that Of
sixty three suns.
AFTER careful investigation M. Ligner,
the Austrian meteorological, has become as
sured that the moon affects the magnetic
needle. The disturbance is especially no.
ticeable when the moon is near the earth,
when she is passing to first or last quarter,
reaches its maximum when the moon is in
the plane of the equator, and is greater
during the southern than during the north
ern declination.
FROM an exhaustive study Of the large
collection Of meteorites at Harvard College
the conclusion has been arrived at that
many of tho masses Of meteoric iron now
known are cleavage crystals, broken OF
probably by the impact Of the mass against
the atmosphere. 1t is found that these
masses show cleavings parallel to the planes
Of all the three fundamental forms Of the
ls0laetyic or regular system. From all that
appears, the thecry has come to be enter
tained that the Essses Of meteorites were
thrown of from d sun among the Hxedstars>
and that they were slowly cooled while re-
volvipg In zone Of intense heat

hahs ana Such Matter Sent at the Rate Of
Over Two Hundred Miles an Hour.
NEW YORK, May 18-A new scheme Of
transportation is to be introduced between
New YORK and Boston, whereby, it is said,
large packages Of mail and even cars con-
tanning Passengers can bs whisked from
one place to another, distance Of 23)
miles, In less than an hour. This would
DO equal to speed of four miles per min
ute' an experiment with the new ma
chine was held yesterday in Boston in
ths presence Of many scientists, includ-
ing froI' A. A. Dolbear, of Tufts col
lege, who announced that he was
thoroughly satisfied OF the success Of
the system. The inventor, John G. Will
ilamr, y resident of this city. His ma
chine consists OF amagnetic car, hanging
from single rail, where it follows streak
ofeseciricity. With one horse power it is
said that one ton can thus be transported
distance Of l,4i) miles a day at cost of
thirty cents. This, in mail matter, would
represent some 2SSO, 900 letters, and by
this system packages of mail could be sent
OH very five minutes If necessary,
thus preventing large uccumuiutionS
The single track is to be carried
on tripods some distance above the
ground, and the car will pass through coils
of insulated wire at intervals In the ex-
periments yesterday the carriage exhib-
tied was mounted on wooden track on
posts about throe feet high with an
ascent Of six inches in fifty feet, and it
ran on ons wheel at each end. The scien-
tihc principle involved is said to be that
by which hollow coil of insulated wire
will draw magnet into itself. The car
passing through such a coil cuts oil the
current and goes on to the one ahead.
