BATTERY LIGHTING.
It VIII Some Day BE "a success-A Frenc
Inventors Plan.


Electric lighting by means of bat
teries is, says the Electrical Engineer,
an Notwithstanding subject for inventors,
and the pet scheme is to he able to sell
the waste products, and so have the
light for next to nothing. There Is
another OF these schemes, this time
hailing from France, which has the
claim of a certain amount of originality.
This is a single-6uid battery introduced
by NJ. Pollak. 1t has no porous pot, and
contains plate Of zinc as negative
electrode, and plate of lead as positive,
with a solution of sulphate Of copper as
exciting liquid. The zinc is dissolved
and the copper is deposited on the lead,
the latter remaining inactive. The
electrodes of the standard types are
made to last for fortnight, but the
maker takes them back in exchange for
new ones, the copper paying for the
zinc, so that the sulphate of copper is
the only expense.
Every day few crystals of sulphate
are placed in trough above the battery,
and the water is regulated so that the
overflow runs into an automatic circuit
breaker. A suitable number of accu-
mulators are connected with this cir
cult breaker separately. This appa-
ratus is composed of movable recep-
tscle, turning on horizontal axis,
which turns over when full of water. A
system of movable contacts puts the
battery successfully into communica-
ton with one of the accumulators at
each movement of the circuit breaker.
The lamps are supplied directly from
the accumulators, which the battery is
constantly charging. A Pollak battery
of seven elements and eight small accu-
mulators corresponds to fifteen lamp
hours of s C. p, and the cost of main
tenance is given at about 0. I'D. per can
die hour.

left for Chicago today. He believes the
danger from the Indians imminent He
says; Dissatisfaction is more widespread
than at any time for years. The plot is more
comprehensive than anything ever inspired
by the prophet Tecumseh, or even Pontiac.
The causes of the difficulty are insufficient
food supply, religious delusion and the In
matte disposition of the savages to go to war.
All that Is possible is being done to encour-
age the loyal and reduce the number and in
fiuence Of the hostile. In this way the out
break may be averted. A general uprising
would be most serious affair. Altogether
there are in the Northwest about $4,000 af-
fected by the Messiah. That means fully
5000 fiahting men. OF this number, at least
a third would not go on the war path That
leaves us with about 1000 adversaries. There
are 6000 other Indians in Indian Territory
who will need to be watched II active opera
tions take place. Four thousand Indians can
Is great necessity for more cavalry. The
Indians are better armed now tnan ever and
their supply OF horses is all that could be
desired. They can live on cattle Just as we'll
as they used to on buffalo. Numerous horse
ranches will furnish them with fresh stock
when cold and starvation ruin their mounts.
The Northern Indian Is hardy and can suffer
starved into fighting. They will prefer to
die fighting rather than to starve peaceably.

bloOdshed, but such happy ending to the
trouble seems improbable. IL peace Is pos.

THOSE BONES IN GRAY.
A Mysterious Disappearance of For
ty Years Ago Recalled.

GRAY, December 2.-The finding Of hu-
man bones in this town, said to be those of
woman. will, it is reported. be followed by
an investigation by the selectmen to discov-
er, If possible, whether any person is known
to have perished or been buried in the vicin-
ity.
In connection with the finding Of the
bones there is recalled the following bit of
history. Over 40 years ago there suddenly
ana mysteriously disappeared from Gray a
young and beautiful girl. A young man ,one
OF two brothers, had been paying attention
to the girl. and 1t was thought that they had
eloped as she was only II years of age and
her parents were unwilling to consent to her
marrying the man. Days went by, and
there was a whisper in the place that the
man and girl had beeu seen 10 the woods,
which at that time formed almost wilder
ness about the town. The brother of the
man was closely watched, and as soon as
the news of the arrival in the vicinity of his
brother and the girl reached his ears he was
known to have sought the woods where it
was said that they hal been seen. 1t Is pos
ltively averred that the last seen of the un.
fortunate girl on earth was in company with
these two men at point not two miles from
where these female bones were discovered

Stricken Down.
WASHINGTON, December 2-The Wash
ingtcn Post this morning gives the follow
ing particulars of the sickness of Surgeon
General Baxter:
Surgeon General Jeded;ah II. Baxter, q.
S. A. suffered stroke OF paralysis yester-
day, from which it is feared he will not re-
cover. DIR. Baxter left his office about 5
o'clock and started to walk home. He was
apparently in the best of health, but on New
York avenue, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets, he was seen to stop a I'd then

porting himself on one hand. A paSser- by

was unconscious, and DR.. McKim found him

General Baxter. still unconscious, was car
ried to his residence at S22 Connecticut ave
nue. Drs. Staunton and Young and Sur
geons Heger, AinswOrth and COrsOn of the
army, we've called in consultation. General
Baxter's condition was found to be extr me
~ critical. The paralysis of the left side
was complete, and fears were entertained
tnat II would become more general. Mrs.
baxter was given a sad shock when her

oy tne occurrence. There was absolutely no
advance indication of the stroke. Some
tune ago Gen. Baxter's ewes had given him him
some slight trouble, but beyond this he
seemed in perfect health. He was rather
stout, but moderate liver, giving very close
attention ei 70 MS Official la6ors. Since his
appointment as surgeon general. he had not
been compelled to devote so much attantion
to minor matters, and his duties have not
been so burdensome. He has led rather an
active life, and always took an abundance Of
outdoor outdoor, exsIcise. a,tdc ne never before had a
