ELECTRIC SPARKS.


A German has taken out a patent for pro
ducing varnish from linseed oil by means
of all electric current.
1t is proposed to substitute electricity for
the cable car system on the great East river
bridge from New York to Brooklyn.
Vermonts first electric railway at Bur
lington was opened recently and was pat.
tronized by about 1900 people on the open
ing day.
The carrying capacity of the cables be-
tween Australia and Europe is from ~. 600
to 100000 words a day. The actual traffic
is about 5000 words day.
The national observatory at Greenwich,
England, is to be lighted by electricity and
will have an electric plant of its own, the
dynamo of which will be driven by gas
engine. To prevent any effect upon the
magnetographs the dynamo will be inclosed
in q triple iron shield.

The Australian System Of voting IL used

ton however. The Republicans have won
sisnsl triumphs all along the line. The
protective policy has been indicated. Free
trade has been repudisted. The people
hsve turned out In force and have visor-
ously condemned the arrogant sway Of
Southern brigadiers.
The Republican vote has everywhere
exceeded the most sanguine predictions,
while the Democratic vote has shown de-
ciied falling on all along the line. The
fact 10 very clearly and forcibiy established
that the voters Of the country are not in
sympathy with the policy of the admins
tration. They have experienced its dire
effects upon the prosperity of the country
and have seized the first opportunity 10
condemn IL with no uncertain sound.
The returns thus far received leave little

national election. The Democrats will un-

shat. in every one of the states where the

The issue has been squArely joined

they will continue their arrogant
