TEN YEARS OF ELECTRIOIrY.
The Remarkable ProSr ess Shown in q
Jingle Decade.
From Electricitu


ingle Decade.
From Electricity
Just ten years ago-August lSS2-the first
central station for commercial ncaudescent
lighting was established. and arc lighting
was beginning to assume its present form,
yet single decade has seen the use of cleo
trio light and power advance from the ex-
perimental stage to the very front ranks Of
industrial enterprises.
The most recent estimate Of the capital in
vested in the electrical industries in the
United States is $700,000,000, and Of this
amount $3.50, 900, 900 represents the proper
ton which electric lighting and power have
attained 800, 900, 900 is also the estimated
investment in electrical supplies, of which
the electric lighting and railway appliances
constitute large proportion.
The influence which the Edison and
Thomson-Housuon companies exerted in
the development of the electrical industry
will be further appreciated II we consider
the slow progress made in this branch OF
science previous to the time of their organ
ization. The telegraph was at that time
almost the only important application
to which electricity had been adapted,
and, although electric lighting by means
of the voltaic arc had been accomplished
by Sir Humphry Davy as early as 1910 by
means of battery of 5000 cells. ii was not
until 1857, when DIR. Siemens announced
his invention of the seif-excitiug dynamo
that any material progress toward the
science Of electric lighting was made.
At the Paris exhibition of 1878 the system
of electric lighting invented by Jabloch-
koff, by means OF which several Of the
streets Of Paris were lighted by electricity,
proved an incentive to inventors which re-
suited In the production of the modern type
of arc lamp, which was in a comparatively
experimental stage at the time Of the
organization of the American Electric
Company of New Britain. The incandes-
cent lamp has received less attention at the
hands Of scientists than the arc lamp when
Edison announced his invention. The
division of the electric current into small
units had been a long standing problem
before the scientists Of that day
but all the experiments previous to
Edison's invention had been in the
direction of a filament Of low resistance,
which obviously required a prohibitIve
amount Of copper to conduct the current
for a few lamps, even over short distances.
The invention of high resistance filament
marked the turning point in the history Of
incandescent electric lighting.
Thus we see that the whole Of this great
industry has practically come into exis t.
ence within a single decade.

THE DOG AND TIE DIAMOND RING.
a Poser for the Learned Judges of
Vienna to Decide Upon.

Vienna to Decide Upon.
From the London Daily Telegraph.
A well-known and very popular Viennese
sportsman was entertaing few jovial
friends at a dejeuner a Ia fourchette, dur
ing which the conversation turned on sport
and the chase. In the heat of discussion
the host gesticulated freely, and in conse-
quenoe of a graceful but very sudden wave
of his hand costly diamond ring, which
he constantly wore, slipped from his finger
and was cast high in the air to the opposite
end of the apartment. Now this ring, in
addition to its market price, which was con-
siderable, possessed a very high extrinsic
value for its owner, who had received it as
souvenir and venerated it as g relic. I'm
fortunately, the ring did not slide or roll
onto the floor, but was jerked upward and
onward just as biscuit or a piece of sugar
might be thrown for dog to catch. AS Ill
luck would have it, remarkably clever
pointer was crouched in the corner watch
ing the company attentively, and, taking
the graceful movement of the hosts below

1ect moving toward it in the air as con-
elusive proofs that toothsome morsel was
being thrown to him, caught tue ring be.

The guests and their host on reeoveria IL

practical result of their deliberations being
that q skilled veterinary surgeon was i'm

a little room to himself and subjected to
such treatment as the surgeon in his wis

remedy the error of the dog. Bat it was all

to be none the worse for having

if anything, more lively and satisfied
than before. The guests patiently waited
till late in the evening in the hope of seeing
the end; but the end was not yet. The
owner OF the dog then agreed to leave the
animal in seclusiou at his hosts house ustl
the ring should be recovered, which he nat
urally believed would be in the course OF
that night. But though the night came
and went. day dawned and faded into
night, and five more days and nights
dragged their slow length along. the ring
