consists of car carrying a dynamo
which sends heavy current onto a

among the weeds on each side of the
track. AS the wires touch them the
weeds are "electrocuted" down to their
smallest rootlets. 1t is proposed to in
produce the same system in farming.

The Westinghouse Electric company
Is at work upon apparatus for testing
high voltage currents, with which ex-

whether power can be transmitted
from Niagara Falls to Pittsburg, a dis

apparatus will register $4,000 volts,
The highest ever yet attempted, and it
is believed that if potential of $4,000
volts can be successfully insulated
1t can easily be transmitted 200 miles.
1T will be several months before the ex-

THE COBURG FAMILY 3
Changes That Are Occurring in the Royal
Households. irtr.

CnanEeS lndU ere occurring jill tnt
Households. iutr.
From the accession of the prince. OF
Wales the British royal family, by
British custom, will be called the Co.
burgs; and had it been the lot of the
little Lady Alexandra Duff, or any
future brother of hers, to found new
line, that would have been called the
Duffs alike by historians and by the.
people, prospect which inspired no
pleasure. The Coburgs are better
lilled they are supposed, and so far
rightly supposed, to accommodate
themselves more easily than any other
reigning family to constitutional mon.
archy; they are royal by descent, and
they have had the strangest good
fortune in their alliances.
Within few years the three greatest
thrones in the world, those of Great
Britain, Germany and Russia, will be
filled by descendants of the prince con-
sort. while seven minor thrones, those
of Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Hesse,
Saxe-Gotha, Roumania and Bulgaria
one of which two last may reign at
Gonstantnople-wil all be filled by
men of Coburg blood, A position of
that kind is a very great though a very
peculiar one, and when the change oc-
curs-may it be long first-the English
will have no need to explain
whence their new dynasty springs or
how it got there. The feeling for ped
igrce, though it is inexplicable, for
after all the founder is usually tho
greatest of his line, is permanent. and
indestructible; and there was therefore
universal pleasure when it was an
nounced that the duchess of York had
been safely delivered of a son, and that
the line of Coburg was, humanity speak
ing, destined to continue.
England, some people think, will be
republic before the new baby becomes
monarch, say fifty years hence, but
dynasties are long-lived. England has
been nearer republicanism than She IS
now, and within the time of men still
living new rampant has built itself
around the monarchy. When the
royal standard is pulled down, the en-
pire will be pulled down too, and it is
the empire that the people delight in,
rather than in any dream of fedora
tion of the English-speaking peoples,
which would transfer all political initi-
ative fromfLondon to some city across
the Atlantic. We do not see why Ian
guage should be much of bond, and
| ~ ~ L IL
republics are no friends to Spain: For
anything any one can forecast, not
only may the nearest Coburg reign in
Great Britain and India, but his tenth
descendant. The hold of the word
republic over the imaginations of
mankind has not increased of late
years, nor the evidence that democracy
and monarchy are inherently incom-
patible. Spectator.
