-Scribaer's Magazine for June marks
the beginning of new enterprise not less no
table than the Railway Series commenced a
year ago. 1t is the serie, of popular articles
on The Practical Applications of Electricity, a
subject which has become of chief importance
in the scientific, commercial, and industrial
worlds. The opening article. by Professor c.
f. Bracket. Of Princeton, is entitled "Elec-
trieity in the Service Of Man." 1t is an intro
ductory paper which sets forth. in clear and
precise way, some of the common methods by
which the more important electrical phe.
nomena are produced, the laws which they re-
veal, and the principles involved in measur
ing electrical quantities such as the Volt
Ampere, and Ohm-terms which have latel,
come into general use, though not popularl,

The lofty He'll Gate tower, which was
completed in 1884, has been pulled down
by Daniel Donovan, who bought it for old
iron. 1t was 256 feet high, was built to
stand a wind of 100 miles an hour, and had
three lamps on the seaward side. 1t was
in use only about two years, as mariners
complained that the light was confusing,
an injury to navig alton instead of benefit,
and in December, 1886, the electric lamps
were removed. The tower and its equip
ment were sold piecemeal, the structure
going last. to Mr.. Donovan.
