ELECTRICAL SCIENCE.

It's Recent Advances and Some Novel
Applications of the Mysterious Force
There is complaint that the space
allotted to electrical exhibits at the
Chicago worlds fair is inadequate
The applications for space now on file
ask for over double the area of the
electricity building, showing, what has
been frequently prophesied, that very
meager allowance was made in the
planning of the building, which will
certainly contain one of the most at
tractive exhibits at the fair. The ap
plications received include the use OF
3SS,OOO square feet, while there are
but $4,000 square feet at the disposal
of this department., and Belgium
France and Norway have applied fol
additional space besides the 6S,OOC
square feet already allotted to foreign
countries.
Speaking of the effect of the eXpira
ton of the Bell telephone patent next
March, Prof Dolbear of Tufts college
an electoral expert, says: When that
patent expires, the field will be open to
anyone to make a telephone with an
electric magnet, but no one can use a
permanent magnet until the second pa
tent expires in 1894. There is no pa.
tent in the long distance telephone
which has come to be used so much OF
late. Although anyone may make
telephones in 1894, the Bell company
will still hold other patents, notably
that on the carbon transmitter, which
will enable it to hold most of the bust
ness. I think that quite a number OF
people will make telephones in 1894,
but it vii not cheaper service much,
especially in cities, where all the tele-
phones are connected with the central
Office and every additional subscriber
makes so much additional expense.
Doubtless after the expiration Of the
magnetic patent, a telephone can be
bought for two or three dollars, so
MANY will be on the market. This in
cludes only the receiver, not the trans
mitter, as the receiver can be used
equally well for receiving and transmit
ting
The message carrying power OF tele-
graph wires has been enormously in
creased by the application of the phono-
phore, the invention of G. Langdon
Davies. This instrument utilizes not
the electric current, but the noises
caused by induction. The signals are
transmitted by series of induced

Milwaukee, May 1O.-The walters of

They are all looking for jobs now,
with small prospect Of finding them in
this city.
About a week ago they struck and
were successful. They waited until the
dining-room was full of guests and then
said that they would not serve unless
they were given an advance of So a
month. Under the circumstances there
was nothing to do but to accede to
their demands and they got the adj

he says, to let him discharge anybody,
or hire anybody whom they did not
chance to like. Trouble has been brew

HOW TO PREVENT CONTAGIOUS
DISEASES.

Germs are cast over the surface of
the earth by the winds
They are taken from one country to
another on the wearing apparel of the
people; on all parts Of the body ex-
posed to the atmosphere, as hair,
nails, hands; by eXcretions; exports
and imports of every description.
1t should be remembered that these
organisms can manifest life after an
inactivity of years, generations, cen
turtles. Whenever the proper condi-
tons eXist-heat, moisture, darkness
life becomes active, unless they are
subjected to the heat required to boil
water.
They are taken into the body through
the mouth, with food and water;
through the nose and mouth, in breath
in cuts, abrasiOns and bites, and
through other external passages of the
body. They develop upon the unclean.
There appear to be very few eXcep-
tons where the normal juices of the
body do not render these organisms
harmless.
Keep houses well ventilated, especial
~ cellars.
Let the suns rays stream into your
rooms.
Prevent dampness from cellar to
garnet.
Burn all Sweepings.
Sleep, at least, eight hours and eat
wholesome food.
Battle at least twice every week.
Clean teeth and mouth Immediately
upon awakening for the juices which
have accumulated during sleep contain
germs and their products. They should
not be swallowed.
All fruits and vegetables, when
eaten uncooked, should be previously
washed in pure water.
Combine all these conditions, for they
will prevent the growth of germs and
give every mind perfect assurance Of
health during epidemics.

has made great name by his detective
stories, under the heading of Advent
ures of Sherlock Holiness in the
Strand Magazine, has recently made
contract for twelve more of these
tales, for which he gets $1,000 English

still higher price being thought not ex-

remuneration rules higher in America
than with us. For short story which
[ contributed to an English periodical
some time ago 1 received in England
under 500, from America $1OO, and I
nearly always expect to get higher
rates from your side than at home for
any journalistic writings The enact
ment of international copyright has,
to writers in England but it has to be
remembered that it also preserves ma
tive American author from a very dam
gerous form of competition, since, be-
fore the act of congress, any American
publisher could reprint, without fee,
the writings Of the most able European
authors, which must have made it
very hard for new writer's in the states
to get an inning.

Two women, both claiming to be the
widow of the insured, II. Timlin, are
interested in the suit.
During the trial of civil suit at New

who killed Col James Fisk, had been
granted a pardon by Grover Cleveland,
then governor, restoring the eX-convict
to full citizenship. The fact had been
kept secret.

Hurplice like, Of two kerchief pieces crosa-
ing on the breast, and disappearing un-
der the belt or sash that comes close up
under the arms. From here the skirt
falls full and long. The sleeves are
made With very large puffs that narrow
to about the elbow. From under the
puffs comes a full sleeve OF not too fine
white stuff, that gathers in with ruffle
at the wrist. A dainty chemisette to
match these under-sleeves shows where
the kerchief pieces OF the bodice leave
space at the neck. This iB a most be-
coming dress for an invalid who is worn
and whose hair Is soft and loose. 1t may
be made OF cashmere, of crisp old fash
ioned taffeta silk, or OF pink percale. A
warm, rosy pink is almost always becon-
ing. Remember the skirts should be of
generous length, trailing a little in the
back, and of full length in front. SO that
when seated or lying down the feet may
be prettily covered. For the invalid
who is bed or couch-ridden through ina
bility to walk, and who yet is s'quite
WELL" pretty little affairs may be made
that are like yokes that lie about the
shoulders. They are finished with
ruffle all about, they are wide on the
shoulders, and come to point front and
back. Little ribbons may tie under the
arms that they may not slip. Such
yokes, made Of bright, pretty silk, and
with the gown beneath furnished with
big sleeves, and tied at the wrists with
ribbon to match the color of the yoke,

tion and make her pretty picture, too.

big ruffies making the face beneath seem
like pale, prim flower. Even though
the head must not be closely covered
and the cap must be of the thinnest
stuff, the big ruffie can be 30 wide and
so perky that one sees only the face IN
the quaint frame. If the poor cheeks
look sadly sunken, then tuck rosette
In at each side of the cap, with ends OF
ribbon that will hutter over the cheeks,
and be almost as friendly in aoftening
the lines as the pretty hair itself used to
be. Above all do not let the invalid lose
interest in her looks. A little childish
vanity will keep her bright and by go
much her burden will be the less hard
to bear.
A generous cloak OF elder down, made
round and with big hood, and cord
and tassel, is another thing Big, soft,
bright-colored, warm and silk lined, let
it be used as often as possible instead OF
shawls and blankets for wrapping. The
shift from bed to couch can thus be
made to seem go much more OF change,
and do just that much more good. 1t
will seem 30 fine to have cloak on, 30
like going walking for the poor dear
child. 1t takes go little to make them
happy, even in the midst of their pain.
The accompanying sketches get before
you five costumes which are suitable for
the woman who is compelled to remain
indoors. The model Of the initial is in
hazel brown woollen poplin. trimmed
with brown and green shot velvet. The
waist hooks behind and at the neck
there is pointed yoke of plsated pop
lin. The loose velvet jacket Is fnished
with bretelles of velvet, and edged with
jet fringe. 1t fastens invisibIy in front.
The front OF the skirt is cut sufficiently
long to allow the end to be laid
in folds and be hooked to the jacket
in front, thus giving the toilet
the appearance Of being cut princess.
At the back the skirt is laid in pleats
and comes about five inches above the
waistline. 1t is trimmed with burrows
of braided velvet in graduated widths.
The sleeves are of bias shot velvet much
puffed at the top but tight at the wrist
/ The toilet is lined with elk.
Black bengaline id the material of the
second dress, and it 10 trimmed with jet

tume is cut princess style and has two
pleats behind that take away the full

piece that falls in folds from the bust

Blue, the soft baby blue, must be used
carefully, because it is apt to emphasize
pallor. For the invalid not quite SO
helpless 1t will be great comfort to get

Another pretty style fits close to the
natural lines OF the figure. Not close
enough. Of course, to bind anywhere, but
st least without folds. A very wide ruffie
passes over the shoulders, and down
each side, not to point at the waist
line, but narrowing little. The space
between is lined with ribbon set to inn
itate a pointed yoke. This gives mar
rUwness to the figure, and the width OF
the ruffles on either side Of the yoke
