Electricity In Congress.

A plan has been proposed, though it
ina? not be adopted. to facilitate voting
and eliminate the long and tedious oral
yea and nay call. This plan contemplates
running electric wires from the members
desk to a large indicator placed in front
of The speaker where 1t may be seen read
lily, so that when the yeas and nays are
ordered vote may be taken in a few
moments by pressing the buttons. In
this way members could show whether
they are paired or not, or whether they
vote yes or nay, and all this could be done
In few seconds, whereas 1t now takes
thirty or forty-ilve minutes to finish a roll
call. If the new electric system for call

forerunner of further utilization of cleo

The idea of an electric incubator has
long been looked upon by poultry farmers
as too theoretical to be of any real SER
vice. Herr OFT SchulZe, who has been
steadily striving to perfect such a system
in Germany. has. il is said, at length sue
ceeGcd in constructing an apparatus, op-
Grated electrically, which oycrcomes the
ordinary difficulties of the artificial hatcn-
ing of chickens. The apparatus is easily
manipulated and needs u small but con
stant supply Of current. Automatic at
tachmehts regulate both temperature and
moisture, the adjustment working with
such delicacy that II temperature within
one-tenth of a degree of the normal heat
of incubation is noted. From 90 to 100
eggs are hatched at one time.

THE WORLD OF ELECTRICITY
Keeping Track Of Street Cars.

Chicago Record The running OF
street car from the time 1t leaves the ter
minal shed to Its return is generally sup
posed to be dependent entirely on the
motorman and the conductor. Few peo-
pie know that the movement Of the car
all the time is known to the superintend-
ent In the central office. He simply con-
suits a chronograph and Immediately
learns whether the cars are running reg
ularly or irregularly; whether there is a
stoppage at any point; how long 1t lasts;
how many cars are blocked, and when the
trouble is removed and the road begins
operation again. This chronograph con-
stitutes a sort of living map of the road
by means of which the superintendent
can take a bird's-eye view of the whole
operation of the line. If there is bad
break he can send instructions to fill in
with extra cars. II there is irregularity
In the running time without good cause
he can check 1t, and, If necessary, trace
the exact car which is responsible for the
deviation from schedule time. The man
ner In which all this information Is OBJ
tained Is extremely simple. The chrono-
graph consists primarily of sheet of pa
per moving at uniform rate under a Sc
ries of pens or points operated by mag
nets. Each magnet point represents a
point on the road. and each time car
passes this point OH the road 1t makes
contact and the magnet point on the
chronograph images mark on the pa
per. On the frame of the instrument is
mounted a back roller to hold supply OF
paper the front roller on which to roll up
the record. the top plate holding the mag
net points, and the roller, which gives the
time movement to the sheet. This top
roller Is series of grooved wheels. one
for each magnet point. The Importance
of this part of the device is obvious. since
the movement of the sheet must be abso-
Lutte and exact or there will be inaccuracy
In the time record. This roller Is actuat-
ed at the rate of one revolution an hour
by a powerful clock movement. This
gives the paper four inches of movement
in the hour, or one inch for every fifteen
minutes. A line running on a oneminute
schedule will therefore show fifteen cars
or prick marks to the inch, a fiVe-mjnute
schedule three to the inch and so on. y
break of two inches would denote n stop
page of thirty minutes at that point.
When the superintendent sees a regular,
unbroken showing of points on the record
he knows that the cars are all doing their
full work.

To Run Ships by Elcctricitss.

Chicago Record: Ten years ago q we'll
known professor of electrical engineering
IN a. leading American college, who had
tested almost every form of the storage
battery then made, was asked whether he
saw any future for the accumulation. His
reply was: THE more 1 see of storage
batteries the more I am convinced that
they are impracticable, and that they can
never be made commercially valuable
Today the storage battery is working It's
way into almost every branch of electrical
work, and. II certain promises which re-
cent improvement In construction seems
to give are fulfilled, 1t is on the eve of
its crowning triumph recognition as a
practicable motive power for the com
mercial propulsion of street cars. Many
electrical engineers have just as little
faith in the possibility of driving ships
across the Atlantic by electricity as the
college professor had as to the future of
tie storage battery, but on the other hand
inventions are now being perfected which
will effect an extraordinary and almost in
credible revolution In ship propulsion.
Those who know what is being done in
this field. which is not yet made public
realize that to name ten years as the
period within which electric ships will
cross the Atlantic is to allow a very liberal
margin This will probably be affected by
machines giving an enormous economy of
power, but there is already talk of carry
ing ont the idea with existing appliances
A. s.. Hickley, a pioneer in American cleo
trio launch construction, holds that the
rea so vessels crossing the Atlantic make
such comparatively slow time is that they
cannot drive their propellers fast enough
with the amount Of power behind them
without shaking the boat to pieces. He
proposes to put in an ocean ship a pow
erful engine, say a compound-condensin
engine OF slow speed type, connected to n
mult,-polar generator giving say 500 volts
potential. Directly on the shafts of the
propellers, he would put the arma-
lures Of the propellers which are
to drive the propellers. These can
easily be made to run from 800
to $40 revolutions a minute, whereas the
engine is probably making only sixty or
eighty. In this way not only would there
be considerable acceleration of speed
but the vibration of the ship would be
almost entirely prevented and the dipping

In rough weather would not affect the

to stern as 1t now does.

Telephones for Moving Trains.

Chicago Record: A telephone attach
ment for railroad use has been introduced
which will greatly increase the safety OF
railroad travel. At present, the device is
designed for communication only between
the conductors and the nearest station,
but the intention is to SO modify 1t that
it can be used by passengers travelling on
express trains By this arrangement the
telephone can be called into requisition by
the train dispatcher in addition to the
telegraph dispatching wires, while, on the
other hand, the dispatcher can be called
by any station or block along the line in
second. An ingenious part Of the equip
ment Is what is called n hanging set,
which is to be carried in every baggage
car and caboose. Should the train come
to q standstill through Il block, wreck or
any other interruption, the hanging set.
consisting of splced wires on the pole line
Is dropped on two wires on the pole line
alongside the track. This gives as per-
feet connection as If the telephone were in
a private office, and 1t will work along ev-
cry foot of a railway line. In case of
wreck the telephone Is instantly available,
the dispatcher is called and orders are
sent direct to the spot in return.

Pleased with an Electric Launch.

When the Russian squadron came over
to participate in the naval display in
New York harbor and Hampton Roads
on the occasion of the Columbian festivi-
ties the grand duke Alexander, who was
with the fleet, took great fancy to the
electric launch that had been provided
as part of the equipment Of the United
States ship New York. Through the
courtesy of this government the grand
duke was permitted ITO purchase this
launch. Grand Duke Alexander took his
new acquisition back to Russia and il
proved to be a source of envy to all who
saw it, not excepting the emperor him
self, who has through the naval attache
of the Russian embassy at Washington,
invited bids for an electric boat.
