Gently fshed from the bottom of the
Indian Ocean by a dredging vessel in
the employ OF the Calcutta Society OF
Natural History was a mammoth sea
crab which continually emitted a
bright white light, similar to that
seen in the spasmodic flashes Of phos-
phorescent luminosity kindled by our
common glow worms. The oddity
was captured, in. the daytime and
p.acel in 4 large tank, nothing pecu-
liar except its immense size being
noticeable in the, broad glare of the
tropical sun. At night, however,
when all was pitchy darkness, the
crab surprised the naturalists by
lighting up the tank so that all the
other sea creatures, great and small,
could be plainly seen.

ELECTRICITY IN STEEL WORKS.
Replacing Steam Power in the Large

| Replacing Steam Power in the Large

The Carnegie Steel Company. has
decided to make complete change in
the motive power system that ope-
rates its thirty-inch mill of the Home
stead Steel works. Electricity is to
take the place of steam in the opera.
tionb of the shifting tables at the rolls.
This will take considerable time, as
it means the replacing this portion of
the plant with entirely new ma
chinery. The only machinery in the
plant which will be operated by steam
will be the big roll engine, and if it
is practicable this engine will be OPP
Grated by electricity later. Anlenelno
similar in construction to that intended
for the forty inch mill will replace
the one now in use. The cost Of the
engine. will be $500 The total
expenditure for Improvements to thl5
mill is estimated at about 5000, 600.
The Introduction of electricity as
the motive power for the shifting
tables is al innovation at this plant.
1t is on these tables that all the hi,
pieces of steel, such as angles, flat
beams, etc, are carried to and from
the rolls and shifted into the position
required in rolling them into tho
proper shapes. 1t will require con-
siderable voltage to operate the heavy
machinery, and q special electric'plant
will be erected in connection with the
mill. The cost of this plant will be
in addition to the $500, 900 mentioned
as the SUM necessary for the improve
ment of the mill. William Bailey,
chief engineer Of the works, saidfthat
the changing of the motive power
and introduction of new machinery
for that purpose would require con-
siderable time, and it would be four
months at least before this plant
would be ready to start under the
new order of things.-New York
