Tt is hard to believe Chat the electricians

It is hard to believe that the electricians twenty-five years as they have in the last, and yet they keep turning out new won- ders and we are inclined to think that there is no limit in sight. The telauto- graph just brought to the worlds atten- tion by Professor Elisha Gray, promises to take the place of the telegraph and the telephone, and we shallsby and by be sending written letters in our own hand writing, by wire. We have made most ad- vances in the line of communication on this side of the ocean, but in many practical uses of electricity the English are ahead of us. In London, the cost of electricity has been considerably reduced in comparison with its cost in this coun- try, and it's application to domestic pur- poses has been made more possible. It is stated that the London electric supply companies are making good dividends and are greatly expanding their plant, and the power is being introduced fol a great many purposes. The cheapness of elec- tricity in London has led to it's use for culinary purposes, and electric ovens of all kinds, besides heating apparatus for houses and single rooms, are meeting with a large demand. We shall come to this, in America, before long. What boon it would be to the housewife, particularly in summer, to have an oven in which she could cook her dinner, by simply turning thumb screw or pressing a button. It is getting to be a somewhat tiresome as- sertion that the uses of electricity have only begun to be understood and applied. It almost looks as if there were no end to them.
