ELECTRIC HEATING.

The problem of heating by cleo
tricity is receiving considerable at
tention at present, aud the advan-
tages are quite fully discussed in a
recent article in the Scientific
American. 1t is shown that on the
score of convenience this method is
easily first, as its maximum heat
can usually be attained in one min.
ute or less, by simply turning a
switch, and can be entirely discon-
tinued instantly in the same man
ner.> Also that the heat, when used
for some particular purpose, as for
boiling, broiling, smoothing irons,
soldering and many other purposes,
is developed directly on the thing to
be heated, so that a constant temp
erature in the article is maintained
and no time lost while it is heating
or IN carrying to the fire. There is
freedom from the presence of COM
bustion, no noXious gases, and a
high degree of safety assured by the
absence of sparks and fame. The
only question is the cost of produc
ton.
Back at Shohola Falls, probably
not more than nine miles away in a
direct line, hundreds of horse DOW,
er are daily running to waste, and
the loss of transmission would not
be great. The main source of the
mechanical power necessary to gene
rate electricity is generally the
steam engine and boiler, so that ul
timately the fuel burned under the
boiler would supply the heat energy
given off by the electric heater, bu
suppose the power could be furnish
ed by water which would cost com
paratively nothing, would it not b,
profitable to utilize it in furnishing
Milford with light, power and heat
We think there are great possibili
ties in the wasted power at Shoholi
Falls, if only energy and capita
will contrive to develop it.

DEWEYS RETURN.
Very Truly Y ours,
A. r. SHERMAN.

Admiral Dewey has written that
lie will arrive in New York harbor
not later than Oct. l, and that he
may possibly get there little earli-
er. He will receive such a welcome
and ovation as was never given to
any American, and the best part of
it is that he deserves all the honor
that will be given him. There are
other heroes of the recent war with
Spain, all of whom are honored by
an appreciative and patriotic peo-
pie, but no man ever did so much
in a single dav to raise his country
in the estimation of the whole
world as George Dewey did on the
memorable May day, in Manila har-
Dor. Dewey is not only an Amer-
can hero, but he is a world hero,
whose name will be known and hon.
ored as long as brave deeds give
men places in the inches of the tenn
pie of fame.

EDITOR Press: July 18th, 1896.
Your paper duly received and it
really seems like visit from an old
friend. While reading the few ia
miliar names l must say that l see
the names of many who are strang-
ers to me, but you know quarter
of century will make great chang
es in any community.
1t made me laugh when l read of
of your fourth o. July celebration
aud your ball game. Some of your
older citizens no doubt remember
distinctly to this day how Sam
Smith and the writer would get the
boys together on the night of the Sd
also the old cannon and the %
pound weight and We generally got
our work in quite early in the morn
ing of the 4th.
And the ball games l notice the
boys now make only 4 or runs on
on a side, why bless you 25 years
ago we would go out shortly after
dinner and have regular slugging
match which would last all the af-
ternoon and we would often make
As and so runs on a side. As to the
runs made lean prove them by Hon.
John D. Biddis as he was our official
scorer and always with us
If Sam Smith and l could visit
Milford together we could put your
boys up to lots of tricks but / guess
there is no use IN putting deviltry
in their heads as no doubt they know
enough now, Some of these days
when l can spare the time l
want to come back to Milford
and take all my old friends and
school mates by the hand once more
and talk over our old times.
We are in portion of the Tar
State called the Land of the Sky
and when we are on the top of some
of these mountains we certainly
think we are up! The principal
crop is Moonshine Whiskey and it
can be brought for 60 cents a gallon
while the Government tax is $1.1C
per gallon on this some whiskey, of
course you ask how can they do it:
Well they do it all the same. The
climate is simply glorious the yea1
round it is as cool if not cooler here
in summer than it is in Milford and
the nights are always cool. During
the three winters 1 have been here
have seen only three inches of snow
The whole country is just alive
with quail and they tell it on me
here that hunt them with two bul
dogs and club. l don't, but all the
same manage to get few. While
we like it here, and are contente(
and happy, at the same time ther'
is scarcely a day but what on
thoughts go back to the good OLE
times we used to have in Milford.
Not wishing to take up any NOR
of your space will close with kind
est regards to the "PREss" and al
my old friends.
Very Truly Y ours,
A. r. SHERMAN.

Senator Cullom who. as Chairman
of the Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce, had some personal
experience with MIR. Edward Atkin.
son, of Boston, whom he charac-
terizes as human talking machine,
says its great comfort that Atkin-
son is doing his talking for the Fill
pinos and against the L S. Govern
ment, in the newspapers, and in
pamphlets, because if people had
to listen to him, they would surely
be talked to death in great numbers.
He says of Atkinson's appearance
before the Committee "He didn t
give us a ch'nce to ask any ques-
tions. He just began talking about
railway rate. l had been studying
the subject for fifteen years, and
thought l knew little about it, but
in ten minutes he had told me more
than I supposed 1 could know. He
came near talking some of us to
death, and l have never felt quite
well myself since. He came to our
hotel at night and talked railroads
again, and said he would be around
again in the morning at the public
hearing guess he was, but l made
an excuse and stayed away.
l came across Atkinson once again,
and then he told me about some
new kind of cooking stove he ha /
invented, which you could put in
your pocket and which was going
to be Il great boon to the working
men. He told me how | could cool
my own meals on it, and wanted
me to try it. SO he's the chap thai

Older residents of the town will
feel a rush of youthful blood in their
veins on reading the characteristic
letter Of A. r. Sherman in another
column. While those here do not
so pointedly note the changes which
Father Time has wrought in their
midst, the absent ones readily note
the imprint of his fingers, and
trace of sadness mingles with their
reccollections of early days as they
note the absence of familiar names
from current events.

President Mckinley has too much
confidence in American and English
common sense to share the fears ex-
pressed i'll some quarters, that the
failure to agree on boundary line
between Alasku and Canada, which
seems likely from Cana da's attempt
to play the grab game, will result in
a break Of the present relations be-
tween the U. S. and Great Britain.
He realizes that the failure to agree
will be the cause of considerable ir-
ritation, and possibly of some dis.
turbances in the disputed territory,
but does not believe that it will dan
gerously involve the two govern
ments.
The President is devoting much of
his time to the selections of officers
for the new volunteer regiment, and
hopes to complete the list this week
Gov. Roosevelt spent day and
night in Washington, upon the
Presidents invitation, for the pur-
pose of giving his advice in regard
to the appointment of some of these
officers. The present expectation is
that the new regiments will all be
in service by August Is, as the re-
Grating, which was started to-day
will be rapidly pushed in all sec.
tions.
