MAGIC AND CHARITY.
4 Wonderful Electrical Exhibition 70
the Benefit of Women.

4 Wonderful Electrical Exhibition for
the Benefit of Women.
On Easter Monday the attention of the
whole scientific world will be specially
directed to an exhibition that is to be
given in New York city for the benefit
Of the New York Exchange for Woman's
Work. OF course it is not the fact that
this institution, meritorious as it is, is to
be the beneficiary which interests scien-
lists. 1t is that the exhibition itself is
to be tbs most complete and most mar
Vicious demonstration ever made of the
possibilities of applied electrical science.
It is not SO long ago that the great Paris
exposition was opened, and on that oc-
casion Mr.. Edison surprised the world
by exhibiting a greater collection Of
electric machinery than had ever been
displayed in group before, but cleo
triciJy moves rapidly. and the develop
ment Of its science is rapid, too The
Wizard of Menlo Park turns out inven-
tons and completed machines with a ra-
pidity which would be impossible if it
were not for the facilities of his wonder
full workshop and his marvellous Gre
ative faculty.
Now, therefore, he is able to show
much more than when he spent over
hundred thousand dollars on the French
exhibit. That display has been brought
back intact, numerous additions to it
have been made, and the whole will be
exhibited to the public III Lenox lyceum,
for some weeks to come; all the proceeds
to go tothe Woman's exchange.
1t would be manifestly impossible to
describe even a small fraction of the
whole number of these machines in this
brief article. There are hundreds and
hundreds of them, from dolls that talk
and walk about to electric railroads and
lights. As many as possible are to be
shown in actual operation, and one room
is fitted up as a stage on which are per-
formances such as pressing button to
hear the opera that is being sung in Paris

! at the moment, or touching another but
| ton to have your boots blackened or your
breakfast cooked by a self-acting ma
| chine. This performance is called "A
| Peep Into the Twentieth Century" and
! will include scores of marvels that seem
! now almost as impossible as the steam
engine and the telegraph did 10 those
who witnessed their birth.
! The main hall of the Lenox lyceum is
a circular room, lofty and large-as beau
! tiful a hall as any in the country. 1t is
to be illuminated as no room was ever
| illuminated before. A tower twenty feet
high has been placed in the center, from
| the inside of which electricians will work
miracles in the way of optical illusions.
The tower is dressed as maypole. Five
thousand electric lights, in colored lamps,
form a part of its outer decorations, and
as many more are twined in the fourteen
streamers that are stretched from the
top of the pole to the center of the hall.
Every conceivable trick that can be
played with the artificial lightning the
world now uses to see by viii be played
for the amusement Of the audiences. not
only in this hall, but all over the build
ing. For example, very beautiful
statue-the creation Of Miss Lawson, the
well known sculptor-is placed in one Of
the Hobbies and fairly irradiated with
dazzling light that comes from some
where, but nobody but the experts who
arranged it know from where. This
statue. By the way. would probably de-
light Tom Moore more than anyone else,
if he could see it, for it is beautiful en-
bodiment in marble of his fancy of the
origin of the harp-the passing of the
mermaid.
The electrical exhibit is not all that Il
likely to attract a multitude of people to
Lenox lyceum, though it and the per-
formances of Edison himself and corps
of his experts will be the main attrac-
tions. The forty lady managers Of the
exchange are among the leading society
women of the city, and they have COM
bined their resources 10 tit up the ladies
parlor of the lyceum as a drawing room
of the greatest possible elegance, where
they viii receive their friends and the
public during the exhibition, In this
room, too, are to be exhibited some of
the wonderful tapestries, bTic-a-brac and
enlbroideries made by the women con-
signors to the exchange. In other parts
of the buildings exhibits will also be
made of numberlesS other specimens Of
women's work.
In addition to all this there will be con
certs twice dsy By the Hungarian Elite
band, under the direction Of Or. Lea
Sonner. This band, sometimes called
the Royal Hungarian orchestra, includes
several notable soleists, such as an infant
violinist and performer on 8 cymbalon,
which is an instrument new to TINS coun-
try and is reckoned the equivalent Of
four pianos Altogether the affair is
very notable. none the less 50 for being
under the sole direction of Mr. A B. 0s
Frece. a gentleman who has managed all
the principal charitable entertainments
in the city for some years past. This Is
the fitch one he has managed without
asking or accepting a cent for MS ser
vices. DAVID \. CURTIS.

Tower of Babel.

Three different piles of ruin. in Bah
ylonia claim the distinction of being
remnants of the original tower, the
building of which caused the confusion
of tongues. A full account of this re.
markable semi-historical event may be
found in the eleventh chapter of Gen.
sis. The first of the three ruins above
mentioned is the celebrated Nimrud's
tower. near .Akkurkef; the second on
the east bank Of the Euphrates river,
five miles above the modern city of
Hillah; third, the conical mound known
as Birs Nimrud. six miles and a half
southwest of the city last named above
all in Babylonia. Biblical scholars
throw the weight Of their opinions in
favor of BirS Nimrud rs being the site
Of the proposed heaven penetrating
shaft.
The ruins nj this point. which con-
sist mainly of kiln bricks. huge stones
and vitrifed mortar. almost hidden
from sight by sands, the accumulations
of centuries, are l9S feet in height and
nearly 500 yards in circumference. Sir
X. X. Porter. who has given much
study 10 the Birs NiInrud ruins, believes
its vitrifled appearance to he the results
of numerous lightning strokes. conclu-
sions which. taken ia connection with
the tradition that the tower was de-

During the whole period In which the

quoise was distinguished for unparal-

= WORD TO LEGIsLAroRs.
Boise sun.


The returns now indicate that the
first Legislature Of Idaho will be ov-
erwhslmingly Republican in both
branches. The Democrats will not
have more than eleven out of the
ffty-four, and may have only nine.
The burdens and responsibilities Of
Legislation will therefore fall upon the
shoulders of the Republican party of
Idaho. Taken al in all It 10 likely to
be the most important session for
many years to come. There will be
two United States Senators to elect,
n matter which will tax the wisdom
OF that body to large extent. All
tho laws will have to be revised which
will require careful and patient work
and thought. The water question
will come up for settlement, than
which no more important question
will come before the Legislature; it
behooves the members of the Legisla-
ture, therefore, to set down coolly
before tho time of meeting and think
carefully upon the line Of policy to
be pursued. The questions likely to
come up before the Legislature should
be carefully canvassed by each mem
Der with his constituents, that he
may obtain their views and come
here fully able to represent them anc
carry out the wishes of tho people
| As this is the first meeting of tn,
Legislature OF the State Of Idaho, i
is TO be hoped that it will be credi
to the State and the Republican par
ty. We wish Legislators to bear il
|, mind that all unwiss measures, al
bad legislation, all mistakes, and al
injurious consequences will be laid a
the door of the Republican party o
Idaho and we will have to answer t
the people two years hence, for wha
they do. We hope it will be dig
nifed, earnest working body; that n
unpleasant scenes will mar its record
and that its entire proceedings will
reflect credit upon the State and tn
$ Republican party before the nation
The eyes of the whole coantry ar,
upon us. May we be able to bea
their careful scrutiny.

electrical Chemistry.

A recent writer observes that cleo
tricity is gradually invading the whole
domain of commercial chemistry. A
factory for the manufacture OF chlor-
ate of potash by electricity has been
established in Switzerland; soda is
being obtained by electrelysis Of fea-
salt; the electric bleaching OF paper
is largely carried on in France; and
the manufacture of electric soap on a
large scale is proposed in Germany.
The transformation OF wood into pa
per pulp by the electrolysis Of salt
solution into which sawdust or wood
is immersed, has been proven to be
practicable, and the new industry il
to be established. Some sugar
works in Havana havs adopted APP.
pllances which greatly hasten the
process Of sugar-makiug.
