The remarkable electrical experiments
recently made in Berlin, in which bar of
iron was apparently melted by inserting it
in cold water, have naturally stimulated
further investigation on the same line. The
apparatus used is vessel Of glass or poree-
lain, provided with sheet lead electrode
connected with the positive pole of a con
tnuous current generator. The vessel con.
tains sulphuric acid and water. A flexible
cable from the negative pole is connected to
a strong pair of pliers with insulated han
dies.

BosroS, Sept. 3d. In the outside market call
money is quoled at 10 per cent, and time

Ir4ees this week have been made in Wash
ington. As reports from there have taken a
more favorable color the last two days they
have shown decidedly more strength than
characterized them at the opening Of the
week. Buying, however, has been aimos;
wholly on the part of the shorts. outsiders
even during the rally, preferring to wait until
repeal became a reality. So far as actual de-
yelopments 60 at Washington, the legislative
situation does not show any radical change
The hJpeful feeling prevalent is based rather
on surface indications and the conviction that
it Is ap ultimate necessity.
Aside from Washington the foreign ex-
change market has been the only factor liza
has had any Influence on quotations. For the
time, sterling rates are weaker and gold ex-
ports releGated to a future date. But while
they ruled strong the traders used them TO dt-
press certain spsciaties. and their sensitive

London has been only timid purchaser of

far as the banks are concerned monetary con-

SERVICES RECOGNIZED.
Bill to Give Army Telegraph OPERATOR
AN Honorable Discharge.

AN Honorable Discharge.
WASHINGTON, Oct. IA bill introduced
in the senate the other day by Mr.. Hill OF
New York provides for the recognition Of
the services of the men who went to the
front during the war in the capacity OF
telegraph operators, and who, although
they may have served all through the
great struggle, frequently exposed to the
dangers of war and engaged in the
most hazardous of underta kings, hay,
never been classified as soldiers or enlisted
men.
Two years ago these military operators
held meeting in this city, at which
time it was decided that bill should BIZ
prepared declaring them to have been .
part Of the army. Such bill was intro
duced and favorably recommended. &C
companied by au elaborate report setting
forth the services of the men, but the
measure never reached a stage where II
could be taken up for action. The effort
will now be made by Mr.. Hill to have the
senate take action on this bill as early In
the session as possible, so that it may
reach the house in good season.
There is no effort to attach any pension
able qualification to the measure. 1t sim
ply provides that all persons engaged In
the operation and construction of mili-
tary telegraph lines during the war
of the rebellion are declared to have
been a part OF the army Of the United
States, and the secretary OF war is
directed to prepare roll Of such persons
and TO Issue to each upon application, IN
less it shall appear that his service was
not creditably performed, certificate OF
honorable discharge, reciting the act and
the term and the character of the servics
performed.
