ELECTRIC FLASHES.

A Chicago inventor has patented an
electric device for rocking a cradle.
Chill is thinking of substituting cleo
tricity for steam on number OF I'M
portant railroads. An American engl-
neer is figuring on the project.
From statistics recently prepared it
appears that the great city of London
uses annually 213,174,279 kilowatts OF
electricity at an average cost OF about
10 cents kilowatt.
In the up t. date butcher shop the
old hand meat saw is never seen. In
its stead a small band saw driven by an
electric motor sewers the bones in the
leg of mutton, the rib roast or even the
old fashioned soup-bone.
An English electrician gets the credit
for devlsing way to rlpen bananas by
electricity. The fruit is hung in an air
tight glass case IN which there are a
number of electric lights. The artifi-
cial light and heat hasten the ripenlng
process in proportion the number OF
lights turned on.
There are SIS miles of electric railway
in Canada, with a capitalization OF &c.,
1856 76. The province of Ontario has
4O2 miles of track; Quebec has 1913 miles;
the maritime provinces II miles and the
far west 1O4 miles. In 1907 the gross
earnings were So, 635, 905 and the oper-
ating expenses 81, 731, 252.
Portland, Maine, is to be supplied
with electricity obtained from the
tides. Land has been secured on either
side of Black Bay and it is estimated
that $4,000 electrical horsepower VIII
be generated, enough to light the entire
city, furnish power for the street rail-
ways and supply a number OF manufac-
turing plants. .
The speed of Submarine telegraphy is
illustrated by the fact that five minutes
are usually sufficient to cover COM
plete buying and selling operation be-
tween the London Stock Exchange and
Wall Street. The distance between
these two points is about $1,000 miles
and it takes the message less than Il
minute for the journey.
Heavy electric traction of the future,
such as involves the equipment OF large
trunk line railroads, will use the new
alternating current electric motors. Inc
motors are capable of complete and Ell
ticient control and are able in descend
ing grades to return to the trolley line
the the energy stored in the train instead
of wasting it in heat and wearing out
the brake shoes. In other words the
motors will be turned into generators
when going down hill and the current
made in this way will be returned to
the line.
One of the geniuses employed by the
General Electric Company has invented
a device which will put an end to nefar-
ious work of the incandescent light bulb
thief. 1t is the custom, in large cities,
to steal Che new light bulbs from the
hotels and public places and resell or
exchange them for drinks in the cheap
saloons. The new device consists of a
socket and key. After the new lamp
has been screwed in the socket 1t can
not be unscrewed without the key. The
bulb will turn around but will not come
out.
