IN THE ELECTRICAL WORLD.

IN THE ELECTRICAL WORLD.
Great improvements are being
made in the electric launch.
An automatic breaker alarm for
electric railway circuits has been in
vented.
During 1894 there were 1,60o pat
inventions.
AS a direct result of the patent de-
cision of the supreme court. great inn
provements, if not complete revolu-
ton in the art of electric communica-
ton throughout the country may soon
phone monopoly has been brought to
an end, so far as basic patents are con-
cerned.
Work has been begun at Somcr-
Vile, N. J., on what will be complete
trolley road between New York and
Philadelphia The company intend to
cater to the needs of the farmers, and
is having built number of combina-
ton cars that will enable the formers
to carry with them small quantities of
produce to market.
Iron, through it's use for electrical
purposes, seems to have developed q
new quality. magnetic fatigue. In
London to ascertain the open circuit
loss, it has been found that the loss in
creased steadily for the first two hum
dred days until it reached a fairly con-
slant value of forty per cent more than
at starting.
One of the fads of the new car of
Russia is the study of electricity. He
is intensely interested in everything
pertaining to electrical science, and
reads eagerly descriptions of the latest
experiments and applicat ions in that
line of endeavor. He is said to have
made several ingenious contrivances
himself in the simpler lines of electric
al manipulation.
French storage battery cars will
seat ffty-txvo passengers, and, within
the city, run at a maximum speed of
seven and one-ha1f miles an hour. Out
side of the city limits the speed can be
increased to about ten miles an hour,
and even on the heaviest grades does
not fall below about four miles an
hour. Each car is equipped with a
battery of 1Os cells each, divided up in
to twelve boxes of nine cells each.
These are united into four groups, each
capab BILE of supplying a ffty-volt cur,
rent. Two motors are on each car
The very interesting and valuabl"
experiments which DR.. A. Blei1e, of
the Ohio State university, has been
making with regard to the effects of
electric shocks upon animal organism
have reached a stage where working
theory can be predicated upon the re-
suits obtained. This theory is a COM
plete departure from that most COM
monty accepted. It has been supposed
that the cause of death in cases of cleo
trocntion was the breaking down OF
the tissues. But the elaborate expert
ments which Prof. Belle has made
leave no doubt in his mind that death
results from a very different cause.
He has found by experimenting with a
large number of dogs that an electric
shock of sufficient intensity to cause
death results in a contraction of the
arteries SO that they refuse to perform
their functions. This throws the blood
from the veins upon the heart and vir-
tual1y browns the operation of that or
gan.-Cleveland Leader.

Packing Butter for Home Use.


Our way Of packing butter for our own
use, says a writer in the Dairy World,
is to have a perfectly clean jar, If pos
sible new one. Then we use salt and
granulated sugar, half and half, to put
between the layers, which we make
about three inches thick, to make nice
pieces when cutting for use. In MAX
ing butter we use q barrel churn and
make granulated butter. Wash 1t in
the churn until the water runs or
clear; salt 1t to taste (which with us 10
not very salt); drain it and take IL mp
into the butter bowl and let 1t stand
over night Then work 1t just enough
to make the granules stick together,
and then pack. Do. not I'LL the Jar
quite full. Put white cloth ON ton
of that Cover well and keep in . cool
clean place. If every stage of proceed
ure from the COW to the jar has been
clean and sweet, the butter ought 70
keep a reasonable time. u.

on the farm with water. The top Of
the tub must be nearly as high as the
top of the spring. The water runs into
the tub from the spring as fast as it ID
taken out. The tub may be set in .
dry spot as far from the spring as is
desired, but it must be on q level with
the spring. The most satisfactory
plan is to set the tub partly in tho
ground and bank it up well around the
tub and over the pipe conducting water
from the spring. The spring should DO

Perilous Mining.


The Carrara marble quarries, which
are four or five hundred in mum Der, are
situated far above the town, in the
midst of the grandest and most savage
scenery. The soft hues which distance
lends to the mountains disappear on
nearer approach. The great peaks
stand up against the sky in fantastic
forms. No trees or verdure clothe
their naked sides, no flowers grow. no
water flows to fertilize that soil. The
six thousand quarrymen who are busy
here appear as ants crawling on the
vast hillsides. The marble is quarried
by dynamite. Every moment explo'
sions rend the air, and huge fragments
fly up as if expelled from a Volcano.
Often the mine has to be placed in the
perpendicular face of precipice.
Then the workman is lowered by =
rope and hangs suspended. like tho
samphire gatherer. 'twixt earth and
heaven, dreadful trade" About ono
hundred and sixty thousand tons OF
marble are annually exported, of which
most goes to America. The quantity
is inexhaustible. English Illustrated
Magazine.

One of the best models of the season is
a large hat. with the brim dropped ON
one side and raised on the other, and q
tall, narrow crown, widest at the top.
This, of yellow straw, is trimmed with
a double puff on the edge of the yellow
chiffon. bunch of dark red ruses set
under the brim on the rolled-up side, and
round the crown black grenadine rib
bon twisted in the front, tied in three
standing puff loops behind. The effect
is quaint. Feathers are not in great
favor. but chiffon lace, ribbon and flow
