A 1874 Mile Power Arm.
The longest electric power transmits
sion line in the country and probably
in the world up to two and a half
years ago was probably that from the
San Bernardino mountains eighty
miles to Los Angeles, Cal. Now there
has been opened line from the upper
Yuba river, in the same state, to Oak
land, distance Of 40 miles, while by
temporary connection to San Jose
power is actually carried 1874 miles.
Lighting Carriages by Electricity.
Carriages lighted by electricity prom
Use to be used in the near future, says
Electricity. The lights will illuminate
the interior of the vehicles in addition
to the ordinary carriage lights at either
side Of the coachman's box. Three
small batteries are placed under the
coachman's seat. At the side of the
box is small switchboard by which
the coachman can illuminate the inte-
rior of the carriage at will. In the Gen.
ter Of the top of the carriage is small
'electric bulb which casts light of one
candle power.
Harvesting the Ocean.
The wave motion of the sea is utilfz-
ed to run an electric lighted buoy at
the 'Houth of the river Elbe in the
NoTt,i sea. The least motion of the wa
ter is sufficient to generate the electric
current, which when not needed passes
to storage batteries. The success in
this case and in the generating of elec-
tricity by means of floats off the shore
of Los Angeles, CAL. says Electricity,
is encouraging to the belief that the
power of the waves will later be made
valuable to coast towns.

Causes Of Malaria.

DIR. Karl Peters, who has seen as
much Of equatorial Africa as most ex-

may do their part in causing malaria.
drinking stagnant water and breathing
air that blows over swamps of such
water also produce it, as he knows
from experience at a station where
there were no mosquitoes whatever.

The Deterioration of Paper.

The subject of the deterioration of
paper has lately been studied by a
committee of the London Society Of
Arts. The introduction Of wood fiber
as a basis for paper has very much
limited the life of such papers, and
the higher priced papers have short
life also on account OF the chemicals
employed in their manufacture.
