ELECTRIFIED ROCK.

 Srie-I4Eht P.ant-
 L. A. Dixon, of Sodns, S. r., says a letter from Syracuse, has made the dis coyery of 8 wonderful ore called ''eloe- tric rock, e which contains a hidden force that puzzles and astonishes ali who see it. and expert electricians in particular. 7ke rock Is of dark slate eoior and somewhat lighter ia weight than sand stone. It is composed of iron, aiumi- aiam, calcium and other minerals, and particles of gold are found sometimes. Mir Dixon says it will generate un- limited power and give any desired amount of ineandeseent light For illuminating business places and resi- denccs 1t would be considerably cheaper than kerosene; in fact after the build sng had been wired and the batteries prepared the cost would be merely nomi- nal. and taa light would be equal, fl not superior, to thas produced by manu- fsstured electricity. Tho making of the battery is very simple. The rock, m any quantity that is desired, Is placed io jars containing a solution t5e chief ingredients Of which are sale and water. Tie circuit is then completed and the battery is ready for active business The inventor claims that one charge of foar hundred pounds of rock wiII last and produce light and power for at leass yeas before losing its force, and thst 1t Is perfectly haruiess, making lnsais- ton entirely unnecessary. In liF DixoHs oflso niDe-Poaad piece of rock has besn ringing bea since last November. A piece weighing half . pound was placed in pint tazabler and wires attached to tae caIl-bcil which ii caused to ring a loud asa aa alarm clock The test was made in the presence of several gentlemen who pronounced t a wonderful siseovery-

 In discussing the PsriIs incident to the position of chief of police of a large city Chief Deitsch, of Cincinnati. said to an Atlanta Consultation reporter:
 Il had a narrow escape once. and I'll never forget the time l was nearly mGr- dered. It was just tweRty-tBo years ago, when I was lieutenant at Ham mond street police station. 4 man named Wolf Cohen kept clothing store in the bottoms. He had done something against the law and had to call his attention tO it. He imagined die bin a wrong and was very sore, Tso or three evenings after that was sitting In tho station-house. IL was in the fall oI the year and was just getting sold. There was light fire in the biz stowe and Jim White, who was my serysaut, several officers and mysek were toasting our tees around Ehe stove. The door was just ajaF, and while we wcra sitting there talking the docr sud dcniy hcsg open, and who stood in the doorway tait weif Cohen. He wzs pale and e1ci ted, and III never forget the look on the mans lace There was murder, fr his eyo, and he shook like a leaf. Hc stood there second, and then ssH .Lieutenant D,sitsch, yen did me awroag, and I'm going to kill you, Withoot another word he pulled biz revolver and fred.

 There has lately been put in success f,il operation on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange model electric recorder, the function of which is to re- cord the time and arrival of messengers. It's province of automatically recording the time of day Is bat one feature of its aaaptation to other and wider uses, such as recording the day of the month and year, which records are very desirable and frequently indispensable in trans actions of the stock exchange. fire and police signals, the delivery and reeep- ton of telegraph and cable messages, tfS, T5iSJT5siSis- e s5:ia sa generally it is valuable addition to the office equipment. The apparatus ia question is simply a stamp, the various characters of which are mounted as type wheels at the end of a swinging arm. There is an armature with an electro magnet placed at the other end of the arm t0 which these wheels are con- Reetsd. The eiectro-magnct is actu- ated by electric impulses controlled by the clock, which is arranged yo close the circuit for fraction of second at the beginning of each minute, the result being that the typo wheels are eorrespondiBgly reyolve1 to accord Sith the indications of the clock. Two cells Of an open circuit battery supply the energy. This apparatus has been designed in another and more useful form, in which the type wheels are re- volyed and the recording as well are effected electrically. There Is a wide slot which allows the insertion Of largo sheet. The instrument Is connected with the clock in the same manner as the one first described. By pressing the button in front Of the case the time is stamped, taus eReEgizing the electro magnet, the movable arm of which gives tho desired impression. This model has been so modified as % permit the stamping of time on A continuous paper tape, such as is employed iB the recep- ton Of cable or automatic telegraph messages. As the clock is entirely in- dependent any number of stamps can receive their time impulses from single clock. This Is especially applicable to the issuance and reception of railroad orders, where the entire section of the road can be controlled by single time wire. One Of these instruments is now in use in the office of one of the Atlantic cable companies

BATHING AT TRouvILLE
BeaurlfuI and Eaeent-ic Costumes Seen al
 the French Resort.

the French Resort.
 To give an idea of the care that is be- slowed upon a bathing dress at Trou- vile, let me describe one among many that l saw, writes Julian Ralph in Harper's Weekly. The wearer came out of her bathing machine wrapped tn a cloak of Turkey red silk. Her bat was of white straw, with Turkey red ribbons and flowers. Her sandals were white, laced with red tapes that crossed above her ankles, and were there tied in a bow. The silk cloak shone in the sun. Ii did not even partially reveal her fig are; in fact, the women in these eloaRB looked at 8 distance like BedOBins. As this lady's feet touched the water she raised her arms and spread them, and the gossaGer cloak fell into the hands Of the bathing attendant Then she stood revealed to the concOurSe of on- lockers clad as for spectacle on the stage. She wore a loose blouse of Fur key red flannel, short tight red breech- es and red stockings. Her blouse was opened in front by two great lapels, be- tR-seB which was a white shirt with red stripes across it. Behind, it had great uFttsA saAtAE N1A4aEF V AAsE eaiA NA4ll'A with Fgd.
 The extravaganza and eocentEicities of the costumes on that beach were won dertgl, and altogether they helped % form as brilliant and gay sceHe as one sould well imagine, Some Of the eloalls were striped. some were green. some yellow. Sometimes She salts worn be- heath them matched the cloaks, yet often they did not But while the skirts were often short, the arms were often sleeveless, and even saw two or three shirts that were somewhat decOB- Eets. there were HocostUmes worn in the water that justified the pictures com E1only seen in the Parisian Illustrated papers. ! doubt whether many Of the eostHsszas as TrcnziIle would startle the hathers at NarFzTanseSt pier, except thas they were much more costly and artistic than the bath robes worn at the pier.

 We had got through to Silver City by stage without adventure, writes a New York Sun correspondent, and perhaps had more reason than any other pas senger to fclicitaee myself on the fact, as ! was carrying Ss,O in greenbaoks for a friend who was going into b,lsi- ness. The day after arriving a strange man came to the office and asked if he could have few minutes private con versation. He looked like prospector or silver finder, and took him into the inner office. where he quietly sat down and began:
 ''I am no hand to beat around the bush, but believe in coming straight to the point"
 ''WeIl?"

ce.t ef an orean steamar.

More than s90 different industries enter into the bgiidfng of every ocean steamship. To build 8 2, a,5OO-ton steam sb p requires GOO men in direct and con stant employment, averaging $500, per man. The sum of Sso, ,O08 is thus dis t-ibeted to the trades To run such vessel costs about S30,O0o outside of the salary list, which is over s4o, ,Oe0. From the steward of an English steamer I learned that the supplies for such a vessel in a trip across the ocean and re- tarn are about as follows; Twelve thousand hFe hundred pounds Of fresh beef. s,S20 pounds of fresh mutton. $50 pounds Of veal. $50 pounds of pork. 2,0O9 pounds of fresh fish, I5o dgcks, 50 geese.

SALIENT SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

AN Englishuaan proposes laying deep sea electric cables by means of subma- rine boats.

 A RECENT novelty is the production of paint from potatoes in France. A kilo of peeled potatoes are boiled in water. mashed, diluted Nith water, and passed through a fine sieve; on adding two kilos of Spanish white with four kilOs of water the result Is a color of beautiful white. Different colors may be pro dGced by adding the varioas Ochres or minerals -.. ..
 THK use of electric light in suby marine exploration, by divers and others, has been successfully estab- lished- A novel proposal is the use of an electro-magnet for indicating the exact site of submerged tOrpedoes, lost anchors or other iron masses. The magnet is lowered into the sea, within 8 few feet oi tine boitosu. b isTs aud s delicate strain dynamometer. It is excited by battery, and allowed to drift with the beat over the suspected place, when the. suRkon iron attracts the magnet, and the dynamemeteF re- veals the fact by th c increased strain.
 TASTE is not equally distributed over the surface of the tongue. There are three distinct regions or tracts, each of which has to perform its own special office or function. The tip Of the tongue is concerned mainly with pungent and acid tastes; the middle portion is sensi- tive chiefly to sweets or bitters, while the back or lower portion confines itself entirely to the hsvors of rich, fatty substances. This subdivision Of faculties in the tongue makes each piece of food undergo three separate examinations, which must be successigely passed be- fore it Is admitted into full participa- ton iR the human economy.
 TIE steno-telegTaphy, with which people are now experimenting in France, is creating much excitement among news gatherers- By it shorthand re- ports can be transmitted to any distance, just as they come from the desk of the stenographeE.
