Electricity triumphant.

Electricity Triumphant.
At a recent meeting OF the American
Street Railroad association ajreport
was presented from acommittee which
had been appointed to ascertain the
relative cost of operation of horse,
cable and electric street railroads. A
comparison of a typical cable With
a typical electric line of about the
same capacity and located in the
same city, gave some interesting
though not wholly conclusive figures.
Comparing cost OF construction with
returns, it appeared that each dollar
invested in the electric road earned
more than a dollar invested in the
cable road in the ratio of to 8. It
appeared. furthermore, that 80 per
cent of the electric roads reporting
had earned dividends of from 5 to IL
per cent-certainly q very encourag
ing showing. It is certain that the
electric systems are far from having
reached q condition maximum econo
mic efficiency, and if this be SO, the
universal adoption of the electric sys.
tenn is likely to be q mere matter O
time.

g The Making Of Scissors.

Though no complexities r inbolv-
ed in the making Of scissors, or much
skill required, yet the process OF
manufactured very interesting. They
are forged from good bar steet heated
to redness, each blade being cut of
with sufficient metal to form the
shank, or that destined to become the
cutting part and bow, or that which
later on is fashioned into the holding
portion. For the bow a small hole is
punched and this is afrerward expand.
ed to the required size by hammering
it on q conical anvil, after which both
shank and bow are filed into a. more
perfect shape and the hole bored in
the mindle for the rivet. The
blades are next ground and
the handles made smooth and
FURNISHED with oil and emery, after
which the pairs r fitted together and
tested as 20 their easy working. They
are not yet finished, however. They
have to undergo hardening and
tempering and be again adjusted, aft
er which they are finally put together
again and polished for the third
time. In comparing the edges OF
knives and scissors it will be noticed,
Of course, that the latter are not in
any way SO sharply ground as the
former, and that in cutting, scissors
crush and bruise more than Knives

Electric Signals.

The recent railway accidents in
England have aroused fresh interest
in the question OF improved systems
OF railway signaling. Maj. Yorke, in
his report to the Board of Trade on
an investigation just made, says:
"Regulations OF the most careful and
satisfactory nature may be drawn up,
but absolute compliance with them
can not at all times be insured"
And he suggests whether it would not
be possible to adopt on busy sections
OF the line some system of electrical
i~nterlocking which would prevent a
signalman from lowering his starting
signal without the permission of the
man in the cabin nest in advance. The
suggestion is practically carried out
in the marvelously ingenious signal
ing system OF A.. W. Szlumper,
which has been brought before
the Institution OF Civil Engin-
GERS. In this invention the at
tempt has been made, and apparent
:ly with success, to construct a system
OF signals SO perfect as to prevent the
possibility OF accident either by. misad-
venture or Intentionally. In place Of
the ordinary block sy stem the Sykes
electric lock and block has been
adopted throughout, andspecially ar
ranged for terminus working. Visual
and audible signals are given. In this
system a maximum of effectiveness
and safety seems to have been attain
ed by combining the electrical working
Of the absolute block system with
tie mechanical operation of the out
door signals, controlled by the move
ment of trains passing over treadles
fixed to the rails.

Antiquity Of the Saw

The saw is an instrument of high
antiquity, it's invention being attri.
buted either to Dadalus or to his
nephew Perdix, also called Talos,
who, having found the jaw Of a SER
pant and divided a piece of wool with
it, was led to initiate the teeth in
iron, says s. writer in Architecture
and Building. In a bas.relief publish
ed by Winckeimann, Dedalus is rep
resented holding a saw approaching
very closely in form to the Egyptian
saw St. Jerome seems clearly to al
Jude to the circular saw, which was
probably used.~ as at present, in cut
ting veneers. There are also imita-
tions OF the use of the center
bit, and ever at the time of Cicero
it was employed by thieves. Pliny
mentions the use OF thesaw in ancient
Belgium for cutting white building
stone: some of the o0litic and cretace-
"a rocks are still treated in the same
manner both in that part Of the con-
tinent anddn the south OF england. In
this case Pliny must be understoodto
speak OF q proper or toothed saw.
The saw without teeth was then used
just as it is now by the workers in
marble, and the place of teeth was
supplied, according to the hardness Of
the stone, either by emery or by var
ious kinds Of sand OF inferior hard
hes In this manner the ancient arti-
ficers were able to cut slabs OF the
hardest rocks, which consequently
were adapted to receive the highest
polish. such as granite, porphyry, lap
is lazuli and amethyst.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING aug. 70.
Notwithstanding that the markets are still
considerably depressed by the financial string
ency, more confident feeling is generally ex-
pressed by jobbers, and the outlook is more en-
couraging and in many instances the volume
of trade shows an increase over the previous
week Collections have also improved. Inc
Boston Advertiser says "The financial OUTLOOK
is better, and with the repeal OF the silver puf-
chase clause, and the increased issue OF curren-
cy, money should soon be on a much easier
basis, particularly as with renewal OF conn
dence, much money now being boarded VIII De
brought out for investment"
Flour is quiet, but in small way there IS
fair busnesss doing ;prices are about steady, al
though some grades are quoted off. In hog pro-
ducts. Lard continues steady, and while Pork
closed higher yesterday with packers, our quo
tationS are SOC a barrel under last weeks hg-
ures. Mackercl are easy and lower. The SUI
gar market to-day was decidedly flrmer, owing
to the views of refiners; dispatches received
this afternoon say, that at Network the demand
has increased, and the refinerieS oversold from
seven to ten days; at Philadelphia the ref
have withdrawn from the market. With rather
better cable advices from Europe there is less
pressure to sell on the part of importers. Col
fee holds firmer positions; prices here remain
the same, but an advance established in New
York. Molasses and Teas nominally unchang-
3D. Butter is firm with an upward tendency.
Cheese firmly held. Hay is coming in rather
slow from this section of the State, sellers be-
ing too high for buyers; in a jobbing way SIS
is top price for pressed, and we do not look
for any further rise in prices this season. as it is
freely offered at the West and Canada from SIG
asst laid down here. Barrel Beef lower. For
fresh Beef the market is easier and concessions
of SOC y cwt are being made; we quote sides z
csc }e lib, kinds at 91a@121sc, fores 47a@6c.
