MASSACHUSETTS people are profoundly
concerned over the proper meaning of
the word "bar" in connection with the
liquor traffic. The license law there
provides against the selling of liquors at
public bars" The Boston police com.
missioners and liquor dealers interpret
this as meaning the counters over which
liquors are sold, but the temperance
folk fortify themselves from the die
tionaries, legal decisions and general
usage, ana declare that the room
where liquors are sold is a
"bar." The republican state and city
authorities generally are trying to pla-
cate both the liquor and the temperance
elements by taking halfway action in
permitting drinking only at tables. The
drinkers are angry because they are put
to Inconvenience, and the temperance
men accuse the officials of malfeasance.
There is trouble brewing for Governor
Bracket and his party.

1.-THE nomination of Richard Vaux to

of the Philadelphia bar when a Phila-
delphia lawyer was supposed to be the
perfection of all wit and the completion
OF all knowledge. HIS nomination
ought to combine everybody in Mr. Ran

ELECTRICAL MATTERS.

IT is said that some genius has in.
vented an electric recorder which may
be attached 10 a gas-meter, and which
will infallibly and correctly record the
exact amount Of gas consumed, NO mat
ter what may be the vagaries Of the mo-
ter itself.
In the new hotel at Tampa, Fla, the
electric lights in the sleeping apart
ments will be so arranged says the Tampa
Journal, that they may be made to burn
with any degree Of brilhsnoy by turn
ing on or off in the same way as . gas
Jet or kerosene lamp IL regulated to give
more or less light. This IL the very
last invention in elsotr 10 lighting and
will overcome the greatest objection
to electric lights in bedrooms, which by
oil former appliances give their full Ca
pacity whom used.
AT q certain Berlin cafe the lighting
and ventilation are effected by means Of
electricity. In the center Of the room
there are several largo glass jars through
which passes platinum wire in spiral
form. The electricity. on heating the
wire, speedily raises the temperature
Of the water in the jars to boiling point
and prepares the coffee in the SIGHT of
everybody. Lastly, a small electric ratl-
way transmits the coffee to the various
tables, 30 that the guests may help them
selves to their liking.
For number Of years exhaustive in
formation on electricity in storms, with
special regard to the influence Of A.
mosphsric electricity on the telegraph
service and on telegraph apparatus, has
been collected by the Imperial Toll
eGraph Department., Berlin. At present
nine hundred telegraph ofnees have in
struotions to keep q record Of the cost,
duration and direction Of storms. From
the observations made 1t appears that,
while not absolutely free from the inf1u-
enoe of atmosphsric electricity, suoh In
nuence is materially smaller in the oass
q underground wires as compared With
wires above ground.
AT recent meeting or the British A.
sociation 1T Newcastle, Lord Armstrong
related q wonderful incident, which H.
Illustrates the laws of diffusion Of cleo
trio currents through conductors A
bar Of steel about q foot long, which he
was holding in his hand, was allowed
accidentally to come in contact with the
two poles Of . dynamo in act ion. He in
stantly felt . painful sensation Of burn
ing, and he let the bar drop. He found
his fingers, where they had been in CON-
tact with the bar, severely blistered.
The bar was found Immediately after
ward to be quite cold. This proved the
outer surface of the steel to have been
intensely heated, aud that not enough Of
heat was generated sensibly to warm the
whole bar; In other words, that An ex-
ceedingly high temperature existed for

such sufferers, until recently was Sena-

THE sharp advance in sugar trust dur
ing the past few days is one Of the fea-
lures Of the present upward movement.
Well-informed operators in that spe cial-
ty say that it is by no means certain
that the tariff bill will become law by
July /, while it may not take effect be-
fore January next. In England the
opinion seems to be that the future of
sugar is 30 involved with side issues,
such as the silver question, that specu'
lators and refiners are alarmed. The
rise in silver is having q double effect
~ it facilitates thu export of granulated
sugar to the east and retards the import
Of low cane sugar to England.
