EIeotricitx for Farmers.

The electrical papers predict grea,
possibilities for country towns and
farms through the increasing use OF
electrical street roads. The Electric
World says there is nothing in the
cost that prevents the possibility OF
making electric street railroads as
common as country roads, but that
changes must come in the form Of
vehicles used. 1t says that every
man could have his own electric ve-
hlcle or vehicles, so that he could go
to town whenever he pleased, carry
ing a load OF produce for sale, and
paylng the C mpany a toll for the
privilege of having his wagon drawn
over their tracks Longer hauls Of
produce, and the transportation of
larger loads would be of great benefit
TO the farmers, would add consiGera-
bly, to the net returns of their farms,
and In many cases, increase their
value. The same current could light
the farmhouse at night with the cleo
trio light, and could be used for power

A yJeaRing Watch.

It Is said a matchmaker Of Geneva,
switzerland, named Casimir Livau ha'
lust completed a watch which, instead oil
striking the hours and quarters, an
uounces them by speaking like the phon'
orraph. The mechanism Of the watch
is based Oh Photographic conditions, the
bottom of the case containing phono-
graphic sensitive plate which has re-
ceivcd the impression of the human voice
before being inserted in the watch.
The disk has forty.elght %concentric
grooves, of which twelve repeat the
hours, twelve those of the hours and
quarters, and twelve more those of the
hours and second aud third quarters. If
the hand on the dial shows the time to
be 10 rs o'clock, one Of the fine needle
points of the mechanism crosses the
corresponding groove and the disk,
which turns simultaneously, calls put the
time, Just as the photographic cylinder.
The lower lid of the case is provided
with a tiny mouthpiece, aud when the
watch is held to the ear the sound is all

MELTING IRON IN WATER.
In Electxis Experiment Which Opens Up
Large Possibilities.

Large Possibilities
Among recent electrical expert
ments made on either side of the At
lantic, that of melting a bar of iron
immersed in cod water has, perhaps,
excited more popular interest than
any other.
The orc cess is as follows:
The apparatus used is a vessel of
glass or porcelain, provided with a
sheet lead e~lectrode, connected to the
positive pole Of a continuous-current
generator; the vessel contains sui
phuric acid and water. A flexible
cable from the negative pole is con.
nected to a strong pair Of pliers with
insulated handles.
Taking in the pliers a piece of metal
of any kind. iron, for instance, and
immersing it in tie acid Lated water,
the liquid is seen Immediately in
ebullition neal the iron rod or plate,
which latter is rapidly heated and
brought to a dazzling white in a few
seconds, and soons begins to melt in
spark-light drops.
The heating is produced so quickly
locally that neither the water nor the
ody Of the metal rod have time to
become hot.
So rapid an evolution Of heat ne
cessarily mean a tremendously high
temperature. In a very short time
a. high as 1000 degrees Fahrenheit
have been developed, which is proven
by using a carbon rod instead of a
metal one, when in a few moments
amorphous carbon T. agments are seen
dropping off.
The inventors claim to have at
tanned with large currents the enor-
mously high temperature Of $4,000
degrees Fahrenheit, or nearly five
times hotter than molten iron.
The first suggestion for the practl-
cal utilization OF the discovery was
for Welding purposes, to which it is
evidently particularly well adapted.
Another application which the ex-
rcliments would seem to lead toward
Is the tempering Of one edge or one
extremity only of ~steel-cutting tools.
The hardening of the skin surface
Ut large pieces of metal, such al
nrmor plates, offers snother inviting
