ELECTRIC MOTORS.
What They are Doing for the Working
Women of Our Large Cities.

What They are Doing for the Working
Women of Our Large Cities.
To the student of social science the
electric motor is full of suggestions for
5he future. If power can be subdivid-
I'd and conveyed to distance, why
nay not our present factory system of
.abOr be ultimately completely
changed? People are huddled togeth-
ar under one roof because belts and
shafts are so pitiably short. If power
may traverse a wire, why not take the
power to the peoples homes. or to
SMALLER and more healthful shops in
pleasanter places? To-day we find
sewing women crowded into hot,
stuffy room, close to the noise, smell,
dust and the terrible heat of some lit
tie steam engine at one end of the
room. The place must be on a lower
floor because of the weight of the en-
CINE and the cost of carrying coal up
stairs. Let us see how the work may
be done with motors. We may take
the elevator in wholesale clothing
warehouse on Bleecker street and pass
through the salesrooms to the top floor.
The building is lofty and of light con-
struction, and yet we find in the bright
and pleasant attic above the hOuse-tops
hundred girls, each using power.
They are seated at long tables, each
one having a sewing-machine, and
secured to the under side of the
tabls is a small electric motor, one
to each machine. The operator has
only to touch a foot-pedal and the
motor starts, giving about one-tenth of
a horsepower, at very high speed. If
the speed is too fast it can be regulated
at will by the pressure of the foot on
the treadle There is no heat, no dust
or ill-smelling oil. and only slight
humming sound, the sewing-machine
itself making more noise than the
motor. The room is sweet, clean and
light, and it is in every respect
healthful wOPkroom. If we look out
of the window we see two insulated
wires passing under the sash down to
the electric-light wires on the poles
below. There are people who cry out
against the overhead wires, and would
pull them all down. Some day they
will be buried underground. Mean
while, is it not an immense gain for
these working girls to be placed in a
quiet, sunny room, far from the mad
dening engineP In another shop on
Broadway we may see a different ar
rangement A two-horse-power motor
takes it's current from an electric-light
wire in the street, and redistributes its
power to shafting placed under the
work-tables. Each operator with a
touch of the foot throws her machine
into gear, and takes her share of the
two-horse-power.-CharlesBa Barnard. in

DIGGING FOR RUsiES.
The Rothschilds to Work the Gem-Laden
Hills of Burmah.

Hills of Burmah.
1t is reported from London that the
Rothschilds are about to organize a
company to work the great ruby mines
Of Burmah. This little patch of earth.
having an area of only fifty square
miles, was the only spot in his domin-
ions which King Thebaw would never
permit a white man to approach. Even
under the rude native system of min
ing Thebaw derived an income OF
sl00, 900 year from the mines. After
the fall of Mandalay Indian troops
were sent one hundred miles north OF
that capital to take possession of the
ruby district, which has since been
leased to native miners, the income
being used to help defray the cost OF
the British occupancy.
There have been loud complaints
that the government lost a chance to
1erive large revenue from the mines
when it declined Lord Dufferin's pro-
oosal to lease them to a syndicate. Ii
5he Rothschilds have now got foot
hold there, it is certain that the new
rulers of Burmah expect to make a
good thing by granting a concession to
1he great capitalists.
The possibilities of the ruby mines
If Burmah are yet to be ascertained.
We know that the largest ruby ever
,ound there was escorted from the
Kings palace to the river, on its way
20 Europe, by a military guard, and
that it was sold in London for $780,
300. The gems lie in thin stratum from
zen to thirty feet below the sur
lace, and when this earth is lifted in
rude buckets and spread on the ground
nyriads of small rubies glisten in the
sun. Most of them are too small to be
Of value. and are thrust aside in the
eager search for larger stones. Com
oaratively few rubies are found that
N color, size and freedom from flaws
answer all the requirements of first
class gem. But when such stone is
discovered. it is a treasure; and eX-
oerts tell us that a three-carat ruby of
jhe best quality Is worth elghJ 10 ten
lines as much as the finest diamond Of
;he same weight. Most of the mar
xetable Burmese rubies are imperfect,
out they are among the finest in the
world; indeed, we are told by dealers
that large rubies of perfect color and
1awless are almost unknown.
About twelve hundred laborers are
low engaged in the ruby district, hired
oy the well-to-do villagers around
these gem-laden hills to do the heavy
work of mining. No machinery what
ever is employed, and only the most
primitive methods of mining are seen.
Western energy, capital and appli-
ances will soon make change there.

WASHINGTON MATTERS.
PUBLIC LAND LAWS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The honse
committee on public lands reported back
the senate bill providing that agricultural
public lands subject to private entry shall
be disposed OF according to the provisions
of the homestead laws only. An amend
ment was adopted repeating the commu-
tatiOn clause of the homestead law.
Weaver, of Iowa, showed a disposition
to object to immediate consideration be-
cause it did not in terms repeal the desert
land and timber culture law.
Holman gave assurance if any ambi-
guilty existed it would be removed in the
conference.
An amendment was adopted allowing
persons who have abandoned or relin-
quished their homestead entries to make
another entry. The bill was passed.
CANALS AND woMEN's SUFFRAGE.
The senate conference report on the bill
to incorporate the Maritime Canal COM
pany, of Nicaragua, was presented by

ported back favorably.

job Printing.

Merchants and others are hereby re-
minded that the New MEXICAN is pre-
pared to do their printing on short notice
and at reasonable rates. Much of the job
printing now going out OF town could
come to the New MEXICAN office. There
is no better excuse for sending out OF
town for printing than there is for sending
away for groceries or clothing. Our mer-
chants should consider these things. Th
New MEXICAN is acknowledged the lead
ing paper of this section. The patronage
OF our people will enable us to keep it 50.
