american inventions at paris.

The Paris Exposition has excited compar-
atiVely little interest on this side of the
water; yet it may have a great influence up
on the future of American manufactures
on both continents That our artisans should
ind large market for their wares in Eu-
rope may be too sanguine an expectation
But there will undoubtedly resort to that
Exposition many merchants and travellers
from the South American Republic, from
Australia and other rising young common
wealths Of the South Seas. Great and far
reaching will be the effect when these people
scatter to their homes and spread the report
that one third of the whole space given to
machinery was monopoiized by the artisans
OF the United States; and that in that de-
partment of invention in which the greatest
practical results are now being attained, the
practical application of electricity, United
States inventions are the greatest wonders of
the Exposition In one respect the Ameri-
can exhibit is unfortunate, but even that
misfortune is tribute to American skill.
In agricultural machinery there has not been
that progress which is shown in other de-
partments, while English, French, &c rman.
Austrian and Swiss manufactures are max
American inventions. But in tine display of
electrical machines the United States is far
in the lead. The French are pre-eminent in
that department relating to science, espeei-
ally chemistry and applied mathematics, as
they occur in investigations aud applications
of the electrical force. But in application to
the commercial uses, that application that
brings the greatest fruits, the American dis
play is the fullest and most wonderful The
three first electricians in the world are
probably Edison, Bell and Prof. Elihu
thompson, and they are all Americans. The
Edison exhibit occupies one-haf the entire
American frontage, covering 5000 square
feet. 1t is the largest single exhibit in the ex-
hibition, and comprises his contributions to
telegraphy, electric lighting, systems of me-
tiers, dynamos, motors, transmission of pow
er, railway electro-motors, telephone recev-
ers and transmitters, and galvanic and
secondary batteries as used in the phono-
graph and milling-machines, the electric pen,
typewriter, shaftlng, the vocal engine and
frultpreserving The photograph and the
American writing machines are said to be
the popular delight Of the Exposition. Prof
Thompson exhibits process of fusing bv
electricity metals that do not amalgamate in
the forge, giving again to America the honor
of discovery which is to revolutionize pro-
cesses and modify methods throughout the
whole scope of metal working, from the
fine arts Of the goldsmith to the colossal I'M
dertaklng of the cannon maker. Those
European monarchies that refused their pa
tronage to an exhibition intended to glorify
the triumph of Republicanism, will not pro-
pabiy takelkindlyto American pre- eminence;
but they may console themselves with the
reflection that, even if they had lent their
august patronage, America would probably
be still ahead.

Johns Hopkins school by adopting similar
plan, that is, by bringing each one into so
close proximity to large public hospitals that
the students may enjoy the teaching that
comes through the eye as we'll as that which
comes through the ear The physician who
has learned nothing but the theory of medi-
cine and surgery, is but half educated. He
is still lacking in the practice, which is quite
as important By the aid of the hospital his
/ education in both departments may proceed
along together the one supplementing
! and fitting into the other. The
advantages to the medical student
| of having before his eyes actual
cases of the disease he is learning how to
detect and how to cure are too obvious to
! need argument. These advantages are at
tainable in almost every State in the Union,
and in many Of the States the medical stu
dents already enjoys then. Here in Maine,
though within easy reach. they are not en-
| braced to the extent which they might be and
| ought to be. Our Maine Medical School
! does not derive the benefits from the Maine
| General Hospital which it might were it in a
| position to make use of the fact lites for
the study OF surgery which tfat institution
/ affords. The hospital has corps of the
most eminent physicians aud surgeons in the
| State, many Of them instructors in the
Brunswick school 1t has large ard we'll
| appointed ampitheatre for the study of sur
gical cases and is about to begin the con-
struction of an additional wing which will
double its ward capacity If the medical
school were located here the students could
| enjoy the great advantages the hospital
/ offers, its instruction would become much
more valuable and therefore attract many
| more students than it now does. The adj
ministratlon need not be taken away from
! Brunswick. The school need be no less a
! branch of Bowdoin College because located
here, and no less under its control. The Har-
ward Medical School is located in Boston
where it enjoys the advantages of the Mas
sachusetts General Hospital, though it re-
mains part of the university at Cambridge.
The establishment of the school in this city
would, we believe, give it great impetus.
Funds would soon be forthcoming for the
erection of suitable building, and students
would flock to it, discerning, as they soon
! would, the superior advantages for the study
| of nediclne and surgery, which it would Of
fer 1t is not from any considerations of a
local nature that the above sggestions are
thrown out, but simply from a
desire that the institution in our midst
that has been so generously nurtured by the
contributions of the whole State may extend
its field of usefulness and that the college in
which Portland especially is so much inter
ested may enjoy the benefits which the trus-
tees of the hospital are so ready to give it.

The par0chial school question has entered
another stage of its remarkable career in the
Massachusetts legislature. Having been
fought out in committee hearings of remark
able length and not little heat, the question
now comes before the two branches in the
shape Of bill reported by the majority of
the committee on education. This bill pro-
yldes that every person having under his
control child between the ages of s and IA
years shall annually cause that child to at
tend for at least 20 weeks some public day
school, under forfeit of $40; but if the
child has received for like period of 20
weeks private school instruction in the
branches required in the public schools, as
may be determined on examination by the
school committee of every city or town. such
penalty shall not be incurred. For this pur-
pose school committees shall approve such
instruction only when it is given in the Eng
lish language, and when they are satisfied
that it equals in thoroughness and efficiency
the instruction given in the public school in
the same locality. The school committees
in the several towns are also to ascertain the
names, ages, residences. number of weeks
attendance at school for the previous year.
and studies pursued in the English branches
of learning Of all persons between eight and
fourteen not in attendance at the
public schools. This measure recog-
nizes the principle that the State
shall oversee the education of its
youth, and that no power shall stand be-
tween the State and the child in the matter
of education. Such bill of course calls for
division of opinion in fundamental partic-
ulars. Five members of the education COM
mittee dissent, and they will not be wanting
strong supporters in the House and Senate.
A long and exciting debate may be ex-
pected
