Testing Steel and Iron.

The well-known principle that an electric
current of sufficient strength will fuse @
thin slip of metal or wire when passed
through it has been ingeniousIy utilized as
q means of testing the hard ness of iron and
steel. The strength of current required to
fuse test pieces OF iron and steel of different
degrees of hardness has been determined
and scale of currents corresponding to the
scale of hardness has been established. In
order to find the hardness of particular
test piece of the metal it ia only necessary to
find the current required to fuse it, and
this can be easily done BY means of an am
peremeter. The corresponding figure on
the scale gives the hardness of the piece.

usss of Electric Welding.

The new art of electric welding ID making
rapid progress, and every week sees some
novel application of 1t. Three large welders
have now been ordered for the big rail
works at Johnstown, Pa. One Of them is
to weld the chairs to the street car rails in
one solid piece. Another is to weld braces
to the chairs. A third will make crossing
frogs in one solid biece where the four rails
meet, thus doing away with q number of
bolted sh-plstes, which are ground down
by the traffic and work loose. The electric
welding process is already employed on
boiler tubes, steel cables wheel tires, am
munirion, wires, ships hawsers and chains,
jewelry and host of other things in which
similar metals or dissimilar have to be
united.

THE DANGER IN HOUSE LIGHTING
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH


The extent to which electricity is enter
ing into modern home life may be inferred
from the fact that book has just been pub
lished on Decorative Electricity" by q
woman who has made a special and prac-
tical study of the subject. The author is
Mrs. J. E. b. Gordon, vile of a prominent
English electrical engineer, and she speaks
out of the fulness of some 10 years expert
ence with electric lighting. Few people
have an idea of the extent and refinement
to which the details of the new
art of illumination has been car
ried, but when Mrs. Gordon can
show neat little arrangement for the cook
ing range, by means of which light can be
put inside any kettle or saucepan to see
how its contents are getting along, it is evil
dent that the day is at hand when we can all
enjoy these new conveniences of the bed
room, parlor and kitchen. Incidentally,
too, Mrs. Gordon speaks of electric hair
curriers', and it is the fact that electric heat
ing apparatus is already finding its way into
houses, as, for instance, in the shape of lit
tie stoves for making q cup of coffee, foot
warmers for the bed, cigar lighters, etc.
1t has been shrewdly remarked that there
are two good reasons for the popularity of
electricity among the ladies of the house-
hold. In the first place it is eminently
cleanly, giving off no dust or fume or tsint
OF any kind. In the second place no tapers
are required, and no matches litter the place
hall burnt, and no walls are disfigured by
their scratches. Besides, lighting the gas is
quite feat for a woman, whereas the switch
for an electric lamp can be placed wherever
desirable. But the greatest boons Of cleo
tricity are still new and rare, and the "ser-
want girl" question will near solution when
the little motor, connected up in the same
circuit that does the lighting, sweeps the
carpets, rocks the cradle, brushes the shoes,
grinds the coffee end runs the elevator from
the bottom to the top of the house.

Electric Furnishing Machinery.

An interesting application Of electricity
has been made in the electric furnishing
machine for giving gloss to the bottoms Of
shoes. The shoes are painted with 9 dye,
after which q cake Of specially prepared
wax is placed against . rapidly revolving
brush, which absorbs Just enough to yield q
coat of dressing to the shoe bottom. The
sole, hitherto dull black, is speedily pol
ished by wheel worked by an electric
motor. This wheel consists of q rubber
cushion inflated with air, covered with cloth
and fixed on grooved pulley. The reduc-
tion in the cost OF the process is remarkable,
as from 600 to 800 pairs Of heels or soles can
be FURNISHED daily BY the new machine.

an alarm when Q ship deviates from her
course, which was the subject Of recent in
vention, is being adopted on large number
of American ships. The compass card car
ries light wire electrically connected with
a metallic cup at the center containing few
drops of mercury. This wire is bent over
the edge of the compass, and as long as the
ship maintains its course the wire remains
out of contact with either of two metallic
stops placed at certain distance on either
side Of the bent end of the wire. Should,
however, the vessel depart from its course,
the wire fixed to the card is brought into
contact with one or other of the stops, clos
ing the circuit, and ringing a bell in the
captains cabin, or the navigatof's room.

The Electric Light shipwrecks.


The recent fearful shipwreck in the
Straits Of Gibraltar, where more than 800
people met their death, has attracted public
attention to the use of the electric lights as
means of saving life in case of shipwreck.
It appears that had it not been for the cleo
trio projectors with which the men-of-war
which happened to be in the neighborhood
were provided, the fatality would have been
at least double what it was. Most men-of-
days fitted up with electric light, but they
seem, fortunately, comparatively safe from
accident 1t is emigrant vessels which run
the greatest risk, and they ought, above all
others, to be provided with safety
apparatus of every description, and
electric light projectors before any
thing else. These modern addi-
tiOns to safety apparatus should be no more
absent from such vessels than lifeboats and
safety belts. Another OF the palpable facts
which have been the outcome OF a considera-
tion of this subject is that the lifeboat eta
tions on the coasts should be provided with
electric Light appliances OF a portable char
acter. 1t is satisfactory to know that in
England steps are being taken in this
direction, and resolution is about to be
placed before the House of Commons in
favor of the establishment of telephonic and
\ \telegraphic com munication on the coasts be-
NTeen all coast guard and signal stations, In
order to give facilities for the more speedy
employment Of lifeboats and rocket appa-
ratus. Where there are no coast guard sta
tious II Is proposed that the communication
shall be with the postal telegraph Offices
nearest the lifeboat stations.

Benefits of Electric Railways.

The good results aocruing from the intro
duction Of the electric railway are 90 indis-
putable that one need not marvel at the
rapIdity with which it is making its way
into every part of the civilized world. Some
of our American cities have been enormously
benefited by the change from horses to this
new mode Of swift and safe Jocomotion. St.
Paul, Minn., 10 q striking example, and the
Poneer-PTess, Of that city, says that the
revolution of Its system of street railway
travel has been worth more than ten booms
In real estate. "To ride on these cars ID a
pleasure" IL says. 'They are swift and
sure in motion. There Is no dragging up
heavy grades at o Enail's pace. The saving
of time and the relief from mental annoy
ance are great" It adds that business and
social intercourse have been greatly faciIi-
taied and that every section of the city has
been brought into close and easy oommuni-
cation.

Gas Engine for Electric Plants.

construction, has been built especially
for the electric lighting plants In large cities.
where ground is expensive. This engine is
of 120-horse power. and has been designed
to take the place of the ordinary steam en-
gina 1t is said, however, besides other ad.
vantages, to have double the efficiency Of
the steam engine, to be safer and more eco
nomicsl, and to take up less space from the
fact of its requiring no boiler. 1t can be
operated with either illuminating gas, fuel
gas or natural gas. 1t is proposed to make
engines of this type up to 200-horse power.

The Frankfort Electrical Exhibit ON.

Great interest is being taken in Europe in
the Frankfort electrical exhibition and, 40
usual, America will be represented. A few
days ago o well-known American inventor
oabled over for space. The reply came that
none could be had. Then he offered to buy
out somebody else. Back came word that
nobody wanted to sell. This would have
settled some people, but another message
flashed across to Germany asking if the su-
thoritieS would consent 10 the erection OF O
separate building for the proposed exhibit
This bold plan Of meeting the difficulty
seemed to take away the breath of the slow
going Teuton, and there was q pause. But
permission came in day or two. and now
the exhibit is being prepared on broad lines.
During the exhibition an electrical congress
will be held and America has already been
invited to send delegates. The succeeding
congress is to be held in this country at the
time OF the Worlds Fair.
