Every electric mot mannsactory
IN the United States Is said TO ba
crowded TO its utmost capacity to NEE,
the demands for electric power.
California il is said, now manu-.
factures nearly all the iron she needs.
though only fe- wears ago she de-
pended on the East for her supply.
BY the new welding process. In
which electricity is used. tie rails OF
street or steam railways can be welded
together, il Is said after being placed
In position.
As many as 7l7.74s.S54 gallons of
matt liquor were consumed In the
United States last year. Nearly all ~

2.301.0O gallons being imported
In experiments made IN Francs.
here plates of celluloid were used for
sheathing ships bottoms instead OF
copper. IL was found that the plates
were intact aud free from marine
growth, which was abundant on par :

So thoroughly have electricians

electrical effects ut the further end of

"A single kiln in the secluded town
Of San Felipe, in the Mexican state Of
t1uanaNuato, Is produced lustred pot

Charles Dudley Warner found speci-
mems OF this ware, the making of which
had been supposed To be lost art.
A volt stands in the scale OF cleo
tromotive force where an inch Is in the
ordinary mode Of linear measurement
at the base. II may also be described
as one OF the parts or sets OF which an
electric battery is constructed, and
consists OF plates of zinc, copper and
prepared carbon. immersed in a certain
number of acids. contact with which
generates the electricity.
A new wooden pulley has been
contrived. the center being of cast iron
and the rim of wood. and 1t is made IN
two parts II is claimed that by Its use
better belt friction is obtained and a
saving in power realized. the spokes
being formed in such manner as Il
offer but very slight resistance to the
motion. BY means Of novel and eff.
cient paper bushing. keys and sci
screws are entirely done away. and the
grip upon the shafting is said TO be

Cold storage Is great help to egg
dealers AZ ii enables the perishablc
product to be kept in fair condition
much longer than would otherwise be
the ease. Dakota and Minnesota nov
ship large quantities OF eggs to New
York and the eggs are stored until
needed and the older eggs are disposed

there Is but one use to make OF them
and that is To sell them to morocco

An interesting variety Of carbon Is
gas carbon. obtained from the retorts
In which illuminating gas is manufact-
ured. II results from the burning on
OF drops OF tar upon the interior walls
Of the retort. and the long continued
heating OF the crust thus formed Gas
caFbon is very hard. compact and
dense; il has "a metallic lustre and con-
ducts electricity like metal. On ac
count of its high conducting power. it
is employed in the manufacture OF gall
vanic batteries and for the carbon
pencils OF the electric lamps.
