The conversion of heat directly into
electricity without the intervention of
steam boilers, engines or dynamos is said
TO have been accomplished by a young
Maine inventor, H. b. Cox, and his exper-
iments have proved so successful as to lead
Boston and Hartford capitalists TO organize
a company with IA capital of a million dol
lars to put the discovery into practical OPP
GRAFTON. Francis A Pratt, of the Pratt *
Whitney company, is president. II the
claims of Mr.. Cox prove Just, the value OF
his discovery is enormous, but as yet the
experiments have been only on a small
scale His method Of changing heat to
electricity is as simple as the changing OF
water to steam, the current coming direct
from the glowing Goals of a furnace without
the aid of any machine. No power has
ever been discovered that is half so cheap
as would be electricity obtained by his
process He has experimental with fur
mace at his home, using a number of elec
tric lights, and it now remains to be seen
whether his experiments will hold on a
large scale His discovery would multiply
| by three at least the effective value of
| every ton of fuel used for generating
power. The steam engine yields but a
| small fraction of the potential energy stored
] in the coal which feeds its furnaces. That
energy appears in the form of heat. II
that can be transformed directly into elec
tricity the motor operated by it will have
at least three times the effective force of a
steam engine driven by burning an equal
weight of fuel The more economical must
supplant the more wasteful form of apply
ing the motive power, and the machinery
of all mills, factories, railroads and steam
ships would be driven by electricity operat
ing through simpler aud less costly ap
paratus, and with vastly less expense fol

NoRHFIEI.D, June 1, 1880
Dedi EriiOU LdborprS Ten years have
passed away since the first ten days North
field 'convocation for prayer" was held-a
meeting memorable in the experience Of
many for time and eternity. During these
years there has been manifest increase Of
interest in the study and use Of the Bible
in this and other lands, and the power of
the Holy Spirit in the consecrated life and
service has been displayed in a remarkable
degree. In manifold forms of Christian
activity the church has sought to carry out
the last great command of her ascended
Lord. Large treasures of wealth are be
ing consecrated to the service Of the King
dom. All this is cause for devout thanks
giving to God But there is another side.
There are stores of unconsecrated wealth
unused or misused talents multitudes at
ease in Ziou; witnesses of Christ who bear
no testimony for their Lord workers no
are without the spirit cOnquerlng power
teachers who speak without authority I;
disciples who follow afar of forms with
out life; letter without spirit multiplied
church machinery substituted for failing
inward lille and power
One lesson above all others has the Lord
been teaching his people with increased EN-
Phasis during these later years of enlarged
activities-the lesson all have learned who
have been greatly used of God for fruitful
service-that success is mot by might moi
by power" but by the Spirit of God II
was the lesson taught in Jerusalem, where
the disciples tarried until they were endueC
with power from on high, then preached
with Irresistible energy, mot in word only
but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost
and in much assurance" the happy believ
ers 'praising God and having favor with
all the people, while their faithful Lore
added TO the church daily such as shoulC
