An Electrical Windmill.

A new form of windmill for electrical and
other purposes has been invented by Prof j.
Blyth, who maintains that electrical wind
mills present special advantages when ap-
piled to the lighting of light houses, which
are always in exposed situations where wind
is plentiful, and often in such remote places
that stores and coal for generating electric
light in any other way could only be sent
with difficulty. To the lighting of country
houses the Use of accumulators in coniunc-
tion with windmills is especially applica-
BILE, as the system is very cleanly and can
be adopted without the trouble of much at
tendance. Beyond these applications, a
reliable and efficient windmill service would
be OF the greatest service in factory work
and many other branches of industry. Prof
Blyth looks forward to the time when each
house will have its own little windmill for
storing current which may be used for driv-
ing such machines as are calculated to re-
duce domestic labor, besides giving light
for the illumination of the house.

Blasted by the Breath of War.
We next introduce a view of Box Elder
street in 1860 merely to show what i'm
provements have been made in that time bv
the early settlers of Tidd's Neck. This on
ward march of prosperity and wealth, was
soon, however, to be checked by the war.
Just as Mr.. Oyerhung was about to inaugu-
rate other and greater Improvements, among
them the removal of the feather tick in the
window on this end of, the house,
the country was plunged into fratricidal
strife. Hastily calling his family to-
gether at Foley's Grove, he stated
briefly that the war had been
brought on by others who had more means
than he had, and also that poor people
would have to do most of ahe fighting and
take their pay in wooden legs, so be had
thought seriously of seeding from the war
altogether.

then set aside couple of days for kissing
his children goodby, and quietly at even
tide as the whippoorwill's IS song died away in
the distance, Mr. Oyerhuns did the same,
and has never been seen since.
The Original Pompeiian Crossing.
At this point is given rough drawing of
the well-Snown Tidd's Neck crosswalk,
brought here from Pompeii. As the streets
are often flooded with water, these stepping
stones are of great value in crossing the
streets, while they may be driven over in
day time quite frequently without running
across one of the larger stones. This cross
walk has been extensively copied by other
towns in the South. but this is the original
one from Pompeii.
After the war came financial depression
and Tidd's Neck made few strides for q
time except to change the grade of Box
Elder street, taking off about two acres Of
Mrs Overhung's lot, and also charging her
IS 75 for the benefit that it would be to
have the street run past her house.
Mayor Edwin McGargle was then en-
powered to go on Eas: to sell the street i'm
provement bonds In New York and Boston.
At least the Board of Aldermen told him
he might do so if be had good chance, as
they seemed to understand that he was going
on to New York anyway on other business.

Electricity In Medicine.

DR. Newman Lawrence, in writing con-
cerning the many ways in which disrepute
is brought on the application of electricity
in medicine, points out that considerable
number of medical men who use electricity
in treatment simply order nurse or assist
ant to make the application, taking little
or no trouble to ascertain how far such
nurse or assistant is competent, and giving
only the vaguest instructions. This, how
ever, does not alter the fact that there is
section of the profession, and happily it is
increasing, that can be relied on for careful.
conscientious and intelligent application of
the most wonderful of modern cura-
tive agents. The London Electrical Revieo
has earnestly taken up the suggestion lately
made that school of training for medical
electricians would be step in the right
direction. ...

Prof. Thomson's New Telephone.

Prof. Elihu Thomson's new telephone
system has excited much interest Instead
of continuous dynamo or battery power
the alternating current is used with alterna-
tions of low periods-32 per second, or
thereabouts All local batteries are dis
pensed with, the system having closed
circuit of great fexibility, and it need not
be grounded at all if desired. The an
nunciators at the exchange are worked by
the simple act of lifting off the telephone,
which momentarily opens the circuit. This
system does not appear to have been
practically applied to any exchange, but
any new system that promises to obviate
the necessity for the costly and elaborate
plant now in use in telephone exchanges 10

Electrical Fly Trap.

An ingenious grocer, who had in vain de-
yised all manner of methods for clearing his
store from the nuisance of flies, has shown
himself to be we'll up with the times by
starting an electrical fly trap. This is
driven by an electric motor, and consists of
a band smeared with some sweet substance
on which the flies alight, and on which they
are carried along and swept into q wire
trap. The new trap has been so successful
that many grocers' shops in England are
now supplied with it, and it is also installed
in many shop windows, where it serves the
double purpose OF unique fly catcher and
a novel advertisement.

w1Fr as A PREMIUM.

William <. Hamilton. who lives on a
small farm at McGhee Hill, near Sheka-
meko, about five miles from Millerton,
N. Y, says he is the happiest man in
Duchess county. He advertised for a
wife six months ago, and last week he
was married to Miss Ella NJ. Fisher OF
Foxborough, Mass. Mr.. Hamilton is 30
years old and is a veteran of the late war.
Ever since he was discharged, in 1865,
and came back to his native hills to
cultivate his farm, he has been a sub
scriber to a paper published in the in
terest of the G.. A. r.
1t is the custom of the publishers OF
this paper to present to their regular
readers, on renewal of their yearly sub
scription, premium of some kind in
grateful recognition of their patronage.
As a result of this Mr.. Hamilton's parloI
is stocked with books and pictures
which have come to him every winter az
premiums from his favorite newspaper
Last December, when he sent his sub
scription fee, he wrote a note to the
editor saying he had about as many
premiums as he cared for, and that OF
this occasion he would prefer to publish
an advertisement in place of having
book. In accordance with this wish thu
following notice was inserted ON Decem'

HOW THE FIRST ATLANTIC CABLE
WAS MADE AND LAID.

In modern cables the core is always
protected first by serving of hemp or
jute, and then by an outer sheath of soft
steel wires, which are relied on to furnish
the mechanical strength which the cable
must have in order that it may stand the
pulling about which it receives in laying
and repairing. But in that pioneer trial
there was no idea of protecting sheath
the naked core was to be laid in the
Channel to form the first telegraph be-
tween England and France. TE.re was
but single wire of copper Inside now
lays there Is always strand of several
wires twisted togetherl, and this was
covered with gutta percha so thickly as
to bring the diameter to half an inch.
The covered wire was wound on great
reel on the deck of steam tug in Dover
Harbor, and after number of prelimi-
nary trips the line was laid on the 23d of
August, 1850. Lead sinkers were at.
tached at every hundred yardy to carry
the cable to the bottom, for in the
absence of any heavy sheathing its
specific gravity scarcely exceeded that Of
sea water. The attempt was at once
made to open communication, but
though signals seemed to pass, nothing
could be made of them, and Mr.. Smith
records that the operators at each enc
were regretfully forced to the conclusion
that those at the other end had beer
lunching, not wisely, but too well. Mex
day matters were worse; no signals
would pass at all. The cable was broken
and so ended this first attempt at sub
marine telegraphy.
The signals of the first day had beer
unintelligible, not because of any breacl
of continuity on the part of the cable
or failure in temperance on the part o
its guardians. but simply in consequence
OF eiectrostatic induction, the infuenc
of which in retarding the electric pulse
was not then understood. 1t was Il
overcome the difficulty caused by in
duction that Sir William Thomson, eigh
years later, invented his mirror galvano
meter, thereby making 1T practicable :

lines that cross the Atlantic aturdd
