About Electricity.
Norfolk Landmark.

Norfolk Landmark.
Considering the fact that some phi
losophers have contended with great
plausibllity that electricity is the mo-
tive power of the universe, it is remark
able that men have not made more use
of it than they have, or that Is has not
been substituted for steam and gas long
ago. 1t Is, however, now rapidly as
Stunning proportions which promise to
make it supplant all of the older meth
DDS of motive power. The Pennsylya-
MIA Railroad Company Will, it is said,
shortly operate its line between Wash
ington and Alexandria by an electric
trolley. The New York Central rail
road has under consideration a propO-
sition for electricity instead Of steam
on the New York and Putnam railroad
fifty-mile branch that runs through
the Harlem Valley. 1t is not unlikely
that the Baltimore and Ohio will in a
short time adopt the same power. The
only thing which has retarded the
introduction Of electricity in these lar
ger affairs of moving railroad trains, as
we'll as in general lighting and heating
is the expensiveness, but that obstacle
Is gradually passing away as the means
of producing electricity becomes cheap
er There is nothing more certain to
the scientific vision than that electrici-
ty will supplant steam and gas and
heat in their various relations 10 hu-
man enterprise and comfort, and the
world is moving IN that direction with
accelerated motion.

THE BOND SYNDICATE.


NEW YORK, May 16.-The World this
morning says: Another chapter was added
to the bond syndicate history yesterday.
A notice was sent TO the several banks in
terested in the gold deal, requesting the
deposit by the banks of large quantity
of gold in the sub-treasury here. The eX-
PLANTATION Of this last move lets a bit of
light on the bargain which the syndicate
made with the government. Most of the
banks cooperating with the bond syndicate
were members of the original pool which
subscribed for the last bond issue at about
104 1t is estimated that the banks will
now deposit about sl3.o000o0 additional gold
In the sub-treasury, raising the reserve TO
about si11000.000. in addition to this call,
the syndicate is rushing forward foreign
gold to complete that end of the contract.
Some apprehensive operators see I'm this
activity of payment a possibility that the
syndicate will complete its contract with
the government soon that there will be
time for another scare and the need of
another bond issue before fall, when the
heavy exports of grain usually brings a
natural flow of gold from Europe 10 this
country.
