A BRITISH PLOT EXPOSED.

A Chicago paper, "The TimesIIcrald," has
discovered remarkable British plot against the
liberties Of the American Episcopal Church. In
speaking of the Lambeth Conference Of Bishops,
which is to meet in England during this coming
summer Mt the invitation OF the Archbishop OF
Canterbury It declares that the growing ten
"dency to make the prlmates and metropotans
"of this country IN measure dependent upon
"the dlctatlon Of the See OF Canterbury Is arons-
ling opposition determined and bitter In the
american bishops" But it assures It's readers
that this hghhanded attempt to destroy the
liberties Of American Episcopallans will not be
tolerated Every fibre of Amercanism in the
bishops is already in revolt, and if the Arch
bishop of Canterbury doesn't soon back down
there is no telling what will happen. Indeed.
there may be war anyhow: for. according to orr
cntcrprising Chicago contemporary, 1.-THE bish-
cops representing the Church OF America are

and that, too by lot Of Yankee preates.

NEW POWER

a new and simple source of power
is proposed for engines and is declared
to be not only practicable, but advai
tageous in respect to the latter ii
being claimed that the material pro-
ducing the power can be used ccnt!nu-
Cusly without the necessity of renewal.
According 70 this idea, originating
with herman Pcppe of Hamburg, Ger
many, a mixture is employed of am
monia vapor and carbonic acid gas,
eventually under access or steam,
which, however, is not essential, and
thus, by the expansion Of the gas
mixture entering under pressure, n
cooling of the vapors in the cylinder
Of the engine is produced In this
way a salt of ammonia is formed by
o smaller or larger part OF the gas
mixture. and this salt, as provided In
the subsequent operation, is returned
TO a disintegrating apparatus, work
Ing under pressure, in order to be dis
integrated by heat into its volatile
components, which latter are again
utilized for power purposes

EXPERIMENTS WITH GAS.

A noteworthy trial was made lately
on the Eastern Railway of France in
determining the value of acetylene for
lighting one of the first-class coaches
of a Paris-Metz express. The COM
preston of the acetylene was accom-
plished in a reservoir Of construction
similar 10 that Of the gas tanks used
regularly on this line. 1t was burned
in a small special Manchester" burner
with an extremely small fit, in order
10 obtain tie most perfect combustion.
The results of these tests, as given in
the Swiss Builders Gazette, were as
follows Twelve litres of acetylene gas

the cost of lighting would amount to
exactly two confines, or two-fifths OF

shades and styles of sunburn, says the
Electrical Engineer. The fact that
ones skin is rudy or tanned is re-
gar ded in many circles as proof of
ability to leave the city and spend
time and money in pastime; and those
who cannot so indulge have hitherto
been credited with closing up the front
of their houses and living a secretive
hermit life in tile rear, to conceal
their presence in town. a process or
artificial sunburning by electricity has
now been seriously put forward, and
is likely. it is said, to be largely pat
ronized in fashionable but impecuni-
Gus circles. Per contra, Prof. Luclen
|. Blake has been raising wild hopes
in the breast of colored humanity by
stating in a lecture at Kansas CITY
that by means of electrical cataphoer-
sis he expects to remove the black
pigment from under the epidermus OF
the negro race, and thus render IL
easy to become white. Experiments on
some parts of the body of willing sub
jects are reported to be going on, and
the results are eagerly looked for.
Care is necessary, however, in such
work, for it Will be remembered that

Gus or kinky hair. more harm than
good has been done.
Stamping cut heresy by killing the

che. We trust that our black citizens
Vho wish to change their color may
find il possible to do so with the aid
of electricity, simply and safely, for
with the increase of the negro popu-
latlon a new and permanet branch of
electrical industry would thus be
created.

ELECTRICITY ON RAILROADS
The Current Can be Successfully EN-
ployed for Long Heavy Hauls.

An official test has been made of the
third rail- system between Hartford
and New Britain on the New England
road. This was the first application
Of this method Of using electricity it,
stead of steam for long and heavy
haul. A run of ten miles was made IN
thirteen and one-hdlf minutes, ani
with less jar than is experienced in
an ordinary passenger car. This
test means the affair ment OF speed

seven to eight tons of coal to get one

alpreeiable loss of power and at one

this discovery that caused the New

on the third rail system from Berlin to
Hartford, thirteen miles long.
President Clarke of the New Haven
road is quoted as saying: Our loco
motives may go into the scrap heap, as
the old stage coaches had to GO"

of iron as compared with copper is in
proportion of one to six, SC that an

in actual practice.
The cars are ffteeu-b bench oper cars,
each equipped with two l25-horse
power motors. A controller is on
each platform and on one platform is
an electrical air pump, for the electric.
brakes and whistle. This pnmp is stop
ped and started 10y on ingenious auto
matte arrangement which comes into
play as the pressure in the tanks rises
above or falls below ninety pounds.
The current was produced at the
dynamo at a pressure of $50 volts, and
six incandescent lamps fed in series at
an average of ITO volts burn brightly
at the further end of the line, thirteen
miles from the powerhouse, showing
that the electrical pressure necessary
to move the trair was still more than
sufficient and greatly more than was
expected.
At AL crossings and switches this
third rail is omitted, the current
continuing over two copper cables,
each one inch in diameter, buried in
the ground. The contact shoes which
are fat pieces of iron hung under each
truck, are thirty-three feet apart. A.

tact, at crossings wider than thirty
