The potato market Is hiiidly as llrm ns It was
at Ihls point and yet there Is no weakness mani
fest In the market al the leading points of
supply. Advices received from Wichita repnn
1 tinner maiket , while Aikan aa shippers wire
thai the demand Is 1n excess of the supply even
it the very high rlgute ui-ked for stock In thai
state. A ear of potatoes grown In Kantum near
Kansas City was 111 yesli-iday , but the trouble
with the stock that comes from ro far north
Is that It Is too Miiill. Con utners have become
accustomed to the line huge potatoes iceelven
ftom AiknnsiiM and they do not talto kindly lethe
the very Miiall polntneH flilpped fiom some
other sections. Local growers are commencing
: o peddle out bomBIWVII p jtatoes among con
sume ! , nnd that mu l have n tendency lo cm
off much ot the demand for the stock shipped In.
Toniatocn are selliiiB way down for Ibis lime
of year and the stock Is very fancy , especially

hardly enouBh are coming to make a showing on
the matkct. The few that arrive bring verj
lilgh prices and are all taken by the local Irade

A spirited contest for cheaper telephone
service la being waged In Chicago. The cost
of service In the city ranges from" $120 per an
num for residence * to $150 for olllces. The
Chronicle Is out with a meat-ax seeking an
opportunity to slice the monopoly ham , but
Us labors so far have been fruitless. The
agitation for a reduction Is steadily growing ,
however , and It Is not likely the Hell com
pany can long resist the demand. Chicago
r.itca are nearly us high as the rates In New
York. In these , us In all largo cities , the
malingers defend the high rates by saying
that the larger the number of patrons the
costlier the service for cacti. They boldly as
sert that the cost of operation cf 10,000
'phones Is greater per 'phono than for un ex
change with 100 subscribers. The assertion
Is sharply criticised as an absurdity a re
vel sal of the principle that obtains In every
jiMlnoss. Relief from these exactions by competition -
petition Is not yU assured. The young ri
vals arc fighting among themselves Instead
of llb'iitlng ' the common enemy.
The actual money Inve.-trd In telephone en
terprises organized to compete with the Hell
Is dlfllciilt to nErvrtdln. A number of them
arc manufacturing companies , though Inter
ested , of course , In the pushing of Independ
ent exchanges. Their aggregate capitaliza
tion runs far into the millions. A man con
nected with one of the companies and in a
position to speak advi < edly , tells the Chicago
Tribune that $1,000,000 will cover the cash
t.'iiBt has thus far been embarked In them.
The government , which Instituted the suit
to Invalidate the Derllner patent , wlil carry
iho cause to the United States supreme court
It It can be done , announcement to that ef
fect having been made by Judge Taylor of
the government's counsel. The decision of
tlio United States clrcu t court of appeals ,
there seems to be no doubt , has checked one
or two Important telephone enterprises or-
rjanlztd In the last year. Capital , It Is said ,
Is disposed to hold olt while the Dell con
trols the battery transmitter patent.
ELECTRICITY IN THU HOMU.
The fuel reform movement which banished
coal from o many apartment houses and sub
stituted gas for hutting and lighting educated
the progressive housekeeper up to the e'.cctrlc
fctovo and heater. Kor If the gas Etove wns
good , 1'iie. eltctrlc stove Is better. Nothing
could be simpler In principle , says the New
York Tribune. It Is inertly an Insulated wire
merge J In a plate , which by mere rcslstanca
to the How of the electric energy gives oft
heat. Obviously , there could tcarcely be amore
moro convenient form of lighting and heat
ing. Jf you wish warm water In your bath ,
Just drop In your plate. If you want heat for
your shaving mug , for your chafing dish , for
your baby's milk pitcher , Just turn on the
switch. The temperature can be delig'i.fully
regulated by Uiio electric stove , as thtro Is no
consumption of oxygen and the consequent
giving off of carbonic acid gas. On this
giound alone the electric stove must find Its
way Into the Ideal home. Not only does gas
scrlcus'y complicate the problem of ventila
tion , especially In apartment and city houses ,
but besides poisons the atmosphere and over
loads It wlt'.i ' moisture Gas Is Injurious to the
human voice , and Is held to predispose the
throat to dl-agreeable nnd sometimes seri
ous aiTcctlcns. However , although the prln-
ple of the electric stove and heater Is com
paratively simple , It was found extremely dif
ficult , practically , to make a plate , a rheostat ,
as the electric stove. Is technically known ,
which would at once be moderate In price
and which would not burn out almost Im
mediately.
The perfection of such a plato by Mr. J.
II. Dclaney at once simplifies the Introduc
tion of electricity Into the home for almost
every purpose. When rcfctrictcd to Illumina
tion alone , the cartful householder might well
have hesitated , although , as has been said ,
on grounds of health alone , there ought not
to have been any hesitation. But now that
heating , cooking , Humiliation , communlca-
catlon , locomotion and power are nil under
control of the labor-saving , time-saving and ,
In every proper sense of the word , moneysaving -
saving push-button , the triumph of electricity
In the New York house anil ) elsewhere
throughout the entire country is.simply a
matter of time.
Mr. Delaney's Invention Is extremely sim
ple. It consists of Imbedding an Insulated
wire In a tile plate , and dispensing with the
old metal back. The Dclaney plalo has been
submitted to the severest possible tests for
some time past and has stood them triumph
antly. Ilclng ot porcelain. It Is peculiarly
adapted to nil sorts of dishes and mugs , and
the use of the non-conductor gives It a gen
eral , advantage v.'nlch , from a scientific point
cf view. Is thoroughly appreciated by elec
tricians. An advanced stage , therefore , In
Oomotlc science can fairly said to have been
reached. The age cf the wood flr3 , save for
rfiitiment , has long since past. The coal
ftove , with Its dust , no | e , waste of heat
unltH , difficulty of lighting , of maintaining an
even temperature , and requiring hours to
heat up and to cool down , has rapidly given
way to the nas stove. Just as the gus stove
will probably In turn \ > 3 replaced by the
rheostat. Kor midnight supper or early
breakfast the electric stove , on account of
Us convenience. Its Immediate availability
and uniform degree of heat , leaves little If
anything to be desired.
CHEAPNESS OP BLnCTRICAL COOKJNG.
Them Is a common belief , outside of
electrical circles , tint electric cooking
must for a long tlmo bo too expensive to be
come general. R. 13 , Crompton , the English
pioneer In this branch of work , has done a
praiseworthy thing In disabusing the public
mind of this Idea. In a recent lecture Mr.
Crompton adduced certain facts \\'nlch estab
lished conclusively the superior economy as
well as efficiency of cooking by electric heat.
The success which has crowned the perEc-
vering effoits of the advocates of electric
cooking has been In a very large measure
due to the splendid accuracy with which they
have been able to measure the temperature
actually obtained and the quantity of heat nc-
tuilly required In various cullnary , opera
tions. As Is pointed out by an English
electrical Journal , until exact data has been
obtained on these points , not even the best In
formed person could credit the tremendous
wastefulness of existing methods. It was
hardly surprising that few people should have
any faith In the future possibilities of elec
tric heating , which , being supplied at the
start with a mere C per cent of the total en-
crgy of the ccal , could scarcely have been ex
pected , ever wlt'i n 90 per cent eillclency ,
to compete- with coal fires , until It WHS ascer
tained that the efficiency of these rarely ex
ceeded 2 per cent. This enormous waste Is
duo to the fact that with thpsole exception of
boiling and stewing , all tlie operations of
cookery depend upcn the radiation of heat
to the substance to becooked. . Take , for
Instance , the process of grilling a chop ; con
sider how much coke has to be burnt bsfore
a bed of glowing fuel fit for the purpose Is ob
tained , and note that after the clear urilling
fire IB In order , 70 per cent of the heat goes
up the chimney , l per cent Is radiated Into
the room or employed In roast ng the cook ,
male or female , as the case may be , and It
wl 1 not be diflirult lo nnderitand that the
chop Itself dcs not receive more than 3 per
of the total hr-at units. On the other hand ,
with a properly arranged grlller , heated by
electrical means , fully U5 per cent ot the
heat energy in the eleclriclly Is utilized In the
meat. The electrically worked kitchen may bo
kept as cool as a dairy If It ba desired , and
the effects on the quality of the cooking and
on the health and tempers of the taft
must bo experienced to be appreciated. In
cooking with the gas stove It Is necessary to
allow ventilating currents of air to pass over
the Bin-faces which are cooking. Thesa cur
rents of air dry up and harden and take away
the flavor e > f the outer portions of the meat.
With e-le-ctricnl cooking , ttie absence of such
ventilating currents and Hie stillness of the
air prevents such drying and hardening
action ; the meat la found to bo tender and
Juicy right up to the extreme outer sun'aca ;
It Is browned only to a tulllcient extent to
please the eye anil the palate. The various
data of ele-ctrlcal cocking have been brought
down to such Ecleulific cxac'ltude that any
person , no matter how unskilled In the cull-
nary art , can take * In hand the roasting ,
baking , s'ewlng or frying of any Joint or
piece of meat by ele-ctrlcal iiuans. and know
pert , ctly beforehand , not only that the dish
will bo cooked to perfection , but how long It
will take and what It will cost to cook. A
child can learn the ways ot the electric oven
In A few hours , nnd produce as good results
with It , with absolute certainty , even In suclf.
branches ns the baking or browning of pastry
or ornamental gwect dlshcii , which usually
require great experience , as could be nt

A GREAT PLANT.
The electric equipment ot the Metropolitan
Elevated railway of Chicago promlies to beef
of much Interest. The generating plant con-
sifts at present of two 1,600 kilowatt or
2,000-liorEo power generators , similar to tho.iO
now op rat ng the Brooklyn City railway
nnd the 1'eople's Traction railway of 1'hllft- '
dolphin , ami jwo SOO kilowatt or 1.070-hors
power genenmus similar to those employed
for ftreet railway service In Buffalo nnd St.
Louis. The commeiclal eillclency of thefo
machines Is guaranteed to be not less than
01 per cent , and they arc designed so as to
stand an overload of CO per cent for a short
time * . They are enormous machines , tha
larger ones weighing 1S7.000 pounds each , or
moro ( linn the average locomotive and tender.
No trolley wire Is used , but In pluc ? of It tha
current IB delivered along the line by a thlrj
rail elevated on stringers mitslde of the
guard timber , as on the el"vated railway at
Liverpool. Each train will consist ot a
motor car fitted up as a smoking car ami
three trailers , the average fi > ocd to be thir
teen miles an hour. A motor will be mounted
on each of the two axles of one ot tli3
trucks of the motor car , each capable o
exerting a drawbar pull of 2.000 pounds at
twenty miles an hour , with thirty-three Inch
wheels. The connections nnd controller nro
so arranged that a quiet ; start may bi1 made
If necessary by UirHng the handle of the
controller to the right , while the ordinary
slow start Is mndo by turning It to the left.
An automatic Interlocking device Is pro
vided In connection with the reversing
switch , by which It Is Impossible to opcralo
the latter , except when the handle of the
controller Is In the proper position. An
other Important feature of the connections
olfers a means by which the two motors are
loaded equally.
HEAT DISTRIBUTION.
There Is little doubt tlmt before long wo
shall be able to regulate the temperature of
our houses according to the season of the
year by means of electric heating or electrla
refrigeration from the electric central sta
tion. In the meantime , an Ingenious system
of utilizing the waste steam of central sta
tions for heating dwellings , olllcc buildings ,
etc. , has been successfully put Into oper.ttlon.
The plan requires either that the engines
shall be In operation at all times or that
live steam bo admitted from the boilerj Int'j
the dlsttlbutlon mains when the engines are
shut down. The plan adopted Is to Etoro
the luat of the exhaust steam by causing It
to raise the temperature of the water In a
largo tank , well protected from radiation , for
use when the engine Is not running. This
hcnted water Is forced through underground
pipes to the cells In the various houses , aivl
through the return pipe Into the bottom ot
the" storage tank. The water leaves the
station at a temperature of ISO degree. !
Fahrenheit , and returns at a temperature of
HO degrees In zero weather. This Email losa
of heat In the water after passing as It often
does through from 10,000 to 12,000 feet oC
street mains is looked upon us excellent
practice , and It Is In a great measure owing
to the fact that the supply Is forced through ,
the mains nt the rate of II2S feet per minute ,
with a pressure of thirty-five pounds at the
pumps. The supply pipes are laid three feet
below the surface of the street , carefully
covered with non-conducting material , and
boxed In. From one station In Toledo twenty-
seven houses are heated , and ot this number
only ten are piped and fitted with radiators ,
the rest being si plled with hot air furnaces ,
which have been turned to account by fitting
them Inside with cells , through which the
hot water from the station clrc.ilalcs , the hot
air being delivered through the hot air pipes ,
as It was under the old furnace system , at
a temperature of 70 degrees In zero weather.
IMPROVING THE COMPLEXION.

Ity Is known to le a euro for many of tha
troubles that llesh Is heir to , an unsuspecteJ
use Iras ! xeii found for It , and that a flight

The electric current Is too often prostituted
to quackery , but in this Instance Its appli
cation seems to bo perfectly natural and
based on the simplest laws of electrical and
physiological effects. Tno treatment Is far ,
more seiiilblo and effective than cosmetics
and washes , end a small pocket battery
will meet all lt icqulreincnts. Much In
beauty Is due to the anatomical substratum
of the flkln ; attractiveness elci > cndlng largely , ,

nerves , for the muscles are controlled by the
nerves , both In their movement and In their
nourlfament. The cltect upon the healthi

Improved circulation of the blood In the

Judicious application of a mils' faradlc current
to the face , neck and shoulders of those who
wish to Improve their jwrtonal appearance
can In no way do any harm , and. If patiently ;

their purpose.
The competition between steam and elec
tricity for railroad traction Is seriously em-
barra.-slng the steam roads , which arc nearly
all burJened with overcapitalization and
bonded InJebtcdncss , nnd name of which have
nearly exhausted their borrowing capacity.
One ot the moat profitable branches of their
business Is the passenger traffic between
largo cities not remote from each other , and
It'is Just at this point that tin ; competition
of the trolley road , ? bears hard' Et. The
trolley utually occupies a public highway
without cost ; Its cars can overcome heavier
grade ? , and the general cost of construction
Is far below that of existing Eteam roads.
Serious cs may IIP the direct outcome of this
rivalry to the Interests of the steam roads ,
Its Indirect results are hardly of less 1m-
por'ance. Kor Instance , It has been esti
mate 1 that electric lines liavo already dls-
plac.d no less than 273,000 horses , and the
movement has not by uny means stopped
yet. At a moderate commutation this num
ber ot horses would requlio alwut 125,000
biifhols of corn or oatrt a day. A d < easts ot
I2.rj,000 bufhela a day Is equal -15.000,000
bushels a year , enough to appreciably affect
Iho prices of those grains. Hut what the
cessAtlon cf thU commercial demand for.
coarse grain fodder In the cities means to the
steam railroads Is nn enormous loss of ton
nage , not le& ? , In fact , than C5 C'JO carloads.
