THE ELECTRIC CURRENT.

PORT TOWNSEND, April Is. 1892
To THE EDITOR: In your issue of today your
answer to the question "Does electricity used by
street cars return to the dynamo?" was "No."
In the construction of car lines a return wire is
used to the dynamo from the extreme end OF the
line. If the electric current does not return to
the Dynamo what is the function of this return
wire7 CONSTANT READER.
lin reply to the above question on expert Sc
attic telegrapher says: 81 think Constant
Reader is wrongly informed. As far as I am
aware they do not use a return wire to dynamo
in running electric cars; in fact, do not see
how they could do SO. They sometimes, and
very frequently, lay one or more extra wires
along with the rails, and connected Herewith at
short intervals, and probably run into the
ground or attached to gas or water pipe at each
end. This is done to make the ground connec-
ton from the rails more reliable as q conductor
as it sometimes happens that certain portions of
the road run over sandy or dry foundations
or the bed is liable to become dry at some sea-
sons OF the year, and should the rails them
selves not be connected by metallic plates, as
believe they are not as a usual thing on street.
car lines, the ground connection would he
broken. In damp climates like this. where the
streets are scarcely ever dry, presume that it is
not necessary to use this extra ground connec-
ton. think that 1t is this extra ground wire
that Constant Reader calls a return wire, but
he will find that it does not return to the
dynamo."l

She had run away from home some months
ago, and they had traced her to this city.
The statement was made that this girl
had always manifested masculine dispo-
sition She cared nothing from her ear
Hest childhood about the society of girls,
but persistently sought out youths of the
opposite sex for companionship. She had
also early shown disposition to repudi-
ate female attire and wear boys clothing.
A number of details were furnished which
enabled the attorney to set some detect
ives at work, and, in due course of time,
the young woman was discovered And
what do you think she was doing?
Driving carriage for prominent physi-
clan in this city. She was brought down
to the lawyers Office in full male attire,
including a high hat. She was fairly
good-looking, reasonably intelligent and
not at all lacking in good manners; but no
amount of persuasion could induce her to
give up her present mode of living. She
said that she was entirely content with the
condition of things, was earning her living
honestly and was fully satisfied with her
self and her prospects. She was pleased
with the idea of being man and express
ed determination never to return to the
habiliments of her sex. There is strong
probability that further efforts will be
made to have her return home, but the
chances are that, if she is any way annoy
ed, she will take up her abode in some
other American city. In fact, she ex-
pressed this intention. l hardly know

NOTED last April, that he would retire
early in the succeeding March.
If the president had selected the man OF
his choice in advance and nominated him
promptly, very much of heartburnlng and
disappointment would have been saved
worthy officers, as at the time OF the retire
ment only few of the more prominent
colonies had ventured to file applications
for the place. The others would not have
been disappointed, as they did not con-
ider tn emselves in the race. As time
passed, however, the impression grew tnat
the president was not exactly satisfied
with the names presented to him, and one
by one Others began to come or
to be dragged forward by their
friends, until it is no exag.
geration to say that thirty nine out
of the forty colonies in the line will be
pointment Is made. Lieutenant colonies
have been promoted to be brigadiers IN
times past and may be again; in fact, some
OF them were much more distinguished IN
the late war than some of the colonels.
So serious, indeed, has the contention
and rivalry for the place become ana SO
great the influence brought to bear upon
the president by the parties managing the
campaigns of the different candidates,
especially between the secretary OF war
and the late Secretary of War Proctor,
who is said not to realize that he IS
not secretary of war still, that
the president even contemplates post
poning an appointment until Brlgadier-
General David s. Stanley retires-June l
next-so as to make two appointments at
once, and thus satisfy both of the gentle
men. Secretary Elkins had long confer
ence with the president Monday afternoon,
during which he again strongly urged the
immediate appointment of his friend.
Colonel and Brevet Major General Eugene
Proctor is said to be pushing with equal
vim for the appointment of Colonel
Elwell I. Otis, of the Twentieth infantry
while Major-General Schofield, the i'm
mediate commander of the army, is said
to claim the place for Colonel ard Brevet
Major-General William P. Carlin, of the
Fourth infantry.
Senator Hawley, chairman of the Senate
military committee, is said to be doing all
he can to advance the claims of Colonel
and Brevet Brigadier-General James w.
Forsyth, of the Seventh cavalry, while
Senator Henderson, of the same commit
tee, is said to have hopes that he may
finally succeed in behalf of Colonel and
Brevet Major-General Frank Wheaton, of
the Second infantry. OF the lieutenant
colonies, Brevet gadier-General Rich
ard II. Jackson, of the Fourth artillery,
who was a prominent candidate when
General Kautz was appointed, seems to
lead the advance.
1t has been suggested that the president
might do very graceful act under the cir
cumstances, if he really has determined to
crafty Secretary Ekins and Senator Proc
tor by appointing their friends upon the
day Stanley retires. by appointing Colonel
George l.. Andrews, of the Twenty
fifty infantry, who retres on April %, thus
affording him the honor ana the profit of
being borne for a short time as brigadier
on the active list and for the rest of his life
on the retired list.

Our Mayora1ity Contest.

One of the lively features of our political
campaign this year will be the fight made
in this city over the mayoralty. The
general impression has been all along that
Tammany would be able to elect its next
mayor by reason of the momentum
which would be impaired by the presi-
Dental contest. A good many shrewd
politicians think that the best time to
have a fight over the mayoralty is
when partisans are absorbed in the presi-
dency. In 1884 Mr.. William r. Grace sue
ceeded in electing himself mayor, appar-
emily without anybody knowing it. We
were all full of the blind fury of the presi-
dental contest, and nobody seemed to pay
attention to what was going on in the
strata below. Two days after the presi-
Dental election, and while we were all try
ing to find out which way New York had
gone, We were aroused to the fact that
Mr.. William r. Grace had been elected
mayor of the city of New York. l have
an idea that Mr.. Grace and his followers,
who are exceedingly hostile to Tammany
Hall, will attempt to repeat the 1884 cam
paign next November. 1t is hardly possi-
Bile that Mr.. Grace will make the race him
self, but if he puts up candidate who
can command fair share of Repub-
lican support he may elect him.
Mr.. Grace is splendid organizer and
man of tireless energy. From appearances
Tammany Hall will be forced to renomin-
ate Mr.. Grant AS said some time ago, I
have every reason to believe that Grant is
anxious to leave the mayor S office, but
there is nobody in the Tammany organIza-
ton who can command today a larger vote
than he, and the probabilities are that ne
cessity will force his denomination. If the
anti-Tammany people can unite on a
popular candidate they can beat Grant,
but with three candidates in the field, he
would certainly be reelected.

The Quite Utterly-Ut Girl.
New York Letter.

A walk on Broadway any of these fine
afternoon reveals the fluffy soubrette and
the hobblehoy very much in evidence.
Our girls seem to be running to mannish-
ness and riashiness in dress. There was
time when the burlesque actress, the cho-
rus girl and the soubrette were easily dis
tinguishable on Broadway. Now the dis
play of fluffy hair, masculine hats, stand
ing collars, gaudy neckties, "spats" and
all that seems to be general, and it is diff
cult to tell where the girl of the
theater leaves off and the girl of society
begins. saw young woman on Broad

her arms and pulling another with

John Calvin Moss, inventor of photo-en-
craving, died April at his home in Brook
Ign, aged Sc years. He was born in WASH
ington county, Pa, in 1885, His mother
was Presbyterian, and intended him
for the ministry when he was born
and she was casting about for
name for him. But his
mind was not disposed to look at things
from the ministerial aspect. and he finally
induced his parents to put him to the
printers trade. He thought he had a
chance as an artist because of talent he
therefore devoted a good deal of time
fore he was 10 years old he married
Miss Mary A. Bryant, who sympathized
with his artistic tastes. He did not take
kindly to painting, and became a pho
tographer, in which occupation he got .
sufficient support to enable him to ex-
At 20 years he had learned
of the experiment made by Nico-
phorus Niepce, and also of the attempts
made by Professor Grove to etch on a
Daguerrean plate by means of electricity.
He had faith In the idea of Professor
Grove and made galvanic battery and set
to work. After patient labor he found
that his extreme poverty alone pre-
vented his reaching the thing he
sought. All this time his wife had
worked with him, aiding him in
such way that, as Mr.. Moss
said, success without her would have been
hardly possible. Their first order was for
printing plate which, if satisfactory, was to
bring them $40. They worked away at
it, but somehow or other it would
not come right. Finally at O'Clock
one morning Mr.. Moss sank down
upon the bed exhausted and fell
asleep. But his wife persevered and in the
morning showed him the successful result
of her work. Encouraged by this success
they went to New York in 1858 and s,rug-
gled along for eight years, getting few
orders, but encountered suspicion and
active opposition from the wood engrav-
ers, who thought the new process
would destroy their livelihood. In
1871 the Actinic Company was formed,
but Mr.. Moss thought he was not being
treated fairly and withdrew with the
process he had kept secret, and the COM
pany soon afterward expired. The next
year, with the aid of a clergyman, he
established the Photo-Engraving Com
pany, which was successful. In 1880 Mr..
Moss left this company and formed the
Moss Engraving Company. of which he
was the head. Before Mr.. Moss made his
successful experiments woodengraving and
steel engraving were the then methods of
reproduction for illustrating magazines
and the like. OF course Mr.. Moss first
success was only step in the right direc-
ton, and his whole life thereafter was de-
voted to improving the art he made prac-
ticable.

these doubtful states in the selection OF
their candidate.
Another cause for Democratic anxiety
and encouragement is the chance that the
Farmers Alliance party may cost them
some electoral votes at the South. third
party ticket in West Virginia, Virginia
and North Carolina would cost the DEM
ocracy the loss of those states with twenty
nine electoral votes, which would suffice
to defeat the Democracy even if they get
the eighty-three electoral votes repre-
sented by Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey, Indiana, Iowa and Montana.
No wonder the Democracy feel discour-
aged, for they have most difficult prob
lem before them for solution, viz, how to
carry New York and Connecticut with a
candidate against free silver, and at the
same time carry Indiana, Iowa and Mon
tana with this kind of a candidate.
The anti-tree silver Democrat that can
carry Connecticut and New York cannot
possibly carry Iowa and Montana. and the
''free silver" song and dance Democrat
that could carry Montana and Iowa would
be fairly showed under by the voters of
New York and Connecticut.
