8 THE OHAITA DAILY BEE ; SATURDAY , APKIL 24 , 1807. A Monster Elcctrio Generator to Solve Many Scientific ProblemSt ELECTRICITY AS A PROMOTER OF ART Movcl AiiiiUrallotiH of nic'clrlollj In n I'notorj llotlrcnieiit of tin Cull IlilrKf iK'C- trlcnl A An electrical machine la now being con structed In New York which , when It la completed , will bo the largest and most powerful ever made. Some Idea of Ita com ing power can be gathered when It Is pointed cut that It will be capable of developing a Veritable flashlight of lightning two and n fcntr feet long. Not only will this sp-irk to great aa to length , but It will bo ot large volume , cleaving the air In Its path to the width of a good-elzed lead pencil. Thu noloc made by this flash will be a email-sized roar or crash of mlnlaturo thunder , and the volt age of the current produced will he numbered In millions. To he eure , ( as IB the case with natural lightning fleshes , the quantity ol current produced ID email , even If Its veloc ity Is great , but If Its energy was properly directed the machine could do Bomo terrible electrocution on Ita own account. A man subjected to the force of the ( lash would be ell uck by lightning Just as truly as any un- foi lunate killed during ono of nature's thun der storms. The glaas case containing this biggest cf electrical machines will stand seven feet Ugh , It will be twohc feet long , and the circular glass plates which will revolve In Ita Interior kwill bo five feet In diameter. There will be twelve of these ptatca revolving at tcrrlflc spied and generating the current , which wilt bo carried along and temporarily Mured In Immense Leydeii Jars. 60 great , It Is expected , will the force of current be that no Lcyden Jar as now made Is considered big enough or strong enough to hold It. Im- mcnto Lcyden Jars over three feet high arc now being made to contain the charge of the machine. It Is expected that this machine will , In connection with an especially large Crookcs tube , develop X-rujs of such vivid- nets ae to allow an observer , by means of a fluoroscope , to see clear thiough the human body. Hut this Is onlj one of the possibili ties of the machine. This great current producer will bo on exhibition In the college of the city of New York , and there scientists fiom all over the countiy will be Invited to make any experi ment with it they may choose. It certainly offers a scope for developing new phjslcal and electrostatic facts such as has not here tofore been available The Immense volume of the current , In addition to Its great veloc ity , offers a good field for lesearch. Some of ( ho habitual effects of lightning could bo studied In a small way on the machine. Thorapeutlcally , many good results have been accomplished with machines of a slm- llir , but verj much similar , kind and this monaich of all Its kind may come to de velop homo startling new electro-medical achievements It Is a fact that many of the Tesla effects may be produced by means of a static machine , and perhaps -we have here the germ of a new lighting sjstem , Several scientific men are going to use the machine as .1 basis for experimentation with phosphorescent lamps , following the lead ot PuluJ , only with better facilities at com mand. The oscillatory discharge from an or dinary Lejdcn Jar will disturb the sur rounding atmosphere In a manner so as to cause a modified form of ctlicr wave. Per- hapa the forthcoming monster Lejden Jars < o be used ultlitills machine may do it In so forcible a manner as to produce the sem blance of e therlc light. The great problem of producing natural light might then reach the glimmering ot a solution. The machine also will produce ozone in gicat quantity and If this can bo liquefied it might even find an industrial application ; for ozone is now used In a. number of ways In the Industilal arts. arts.At least , the constructors of the ma chine are able to state positively that the length of the machine's spark will be two and one-half feet , for It Is a rule with static machines that the spark will be as long as half the diameter of the revolving plate. The plates will bo operated by an electric motor and when the whole- affair Is In running order It will constitute a piece of electrical mechanism -\\hlch In scope and magnitude has never before been approached. It Is being made for a western scientist who will not allow his name to be dlvluged at pres ent. IS ELECTRICITY ICONOCLASTIC ? The transmission of electric power Into Buffalo from Nlagaia falla was recently cel ebrated In the banquet hull of a Buffalo club , at which about 300 distinguished electricians and financiers fiom all parts of the country were present. The success of the expert mental transmission of power Is no longer a matter of theoiy , and the speeches at the banquet took the form of mutual congratula tions as another enormous titrlde In the devel opment of electrical usage. Ono feature of the harnessing of Niagara falls , sajH the Chicago Chronicle , was not allowed to paes unnoticed , however , and It may bo described as the skeleton of the feast. The objections of certain rock-ribbed conservatives to any interference whatever wltli the natural state ot the falls has cul minated In a formal protest against furtlie development by the electricians. Theea ob Jcctloni have pasted the ftcntlmental fling and an appeal Is to be made to the IcRlslatur Agnlrat permitting any further tampering fo called , with the natural beauty ot th falls. The utilitarian side of the case th furnishing of cheap power and consequcn benefits to all clarnes Is entirely forgottc by thcpe objectors. They base their romon ntrances on the broid fact that Niagara falls In tbctr natural ntato , arc one ot the recog nlrcd wonders and bfniitiw of the world , am that It Is a blow from which all lovers o natural art cannot recover to use them fo any mere money making purpose. It has been clearly demonstrated that th waters from the Tails , for the purpcao o supplying electricity , are brought through tunnel entirely removed from sight , am the engineers admit that no possible dim Inutlon of the volume flowing over the fall can rep tilt. This does not satisfy the ob Jectors , and the whole question resolves It eclf Into n simple conflict between utilitarian lorn and natural scenery. If the criticism of the objectors provo valid there would b on end to much of the world's advance alon utilitarian lines Nature Is a vast store house of wealth and power , and nlnce th uses of electricity have begun to bo under stood this wealth and power may have bee Increasingly brought within thq reach o the people. Cheap power Is a boon to th dwellers of any large city like Uuffalo , am In the case of the Niagara Tails Powc company these benefits will be extended t scores of village * ? and smaller communltlc In other parts of the state. Utilitarianism will undoubtedly win In this case , an In nl others where there Is no real sacrifice of any natural beauty of scenery and where th gifts drawn from nature are a clear addl tlon to the public weal. Electricity Is , In fact , a promoter of arl It boa promoted lighter and swifter trans pollution methods and has promoted cleanll ness by removing animal power from th etrccts of largo cities. NOVEL APPLICATIONS OP ELECTRICITY An English electrician , who Is employed In n cotton factory near Moscow , Russia , lias a quaint Inventive faculty which ho delight to occupy In showing the novel things Urn electi Icily can do. Some time ago he In vented an electrical detector of sham dla niomlM. Ha has now an Improved apparatus for this purpose. The itetal aluminum pos ECSSCS the remarkable property of leaving metallic Impressions on moistened glass plato or spurious diamonds , while It leaves no mark of any kind on genuine gems. A thin aluminum disk Is driven at a high speci by an electric motor , and the peina to be tested , which are exposed to tlio Influence of the revolving disk , arc kept moist by the dripping of water from a glass funnel. This test Is said to be decisive. Another Invcntlot was suggested by constant trouble with the ropu transmission In the cotton mill. Mas of the ropes wcro made of cotton , the rest being of hemp. After lung wear and tear thej would bo gradually torn apart , and ai the patted strands usually became entanglct with the remaining ropes , considerable damage - ago was done to the adjoining walls , Journals pullcjs and shaft boxes. A plcco of bean : was linliUiceU near the driving pulley and lilted with a copper fork and two metal cups containing mercury. As soon as the loobc ends ot ( lie worn rope began to lash about they struck the board , the balance of which was destrojed , and the prongs of the metallic fork were plunged Into the mercurial cups , making an electric contact and closing an electric circuit. The alarm was thus given In the main engine room by the ringing of a bell and the engine was stopped until a new rope was put on. The main shaft of the engine Is also lubricated by an electrical attachment , and If by any chance the oil ceases to bo delivered to the upper part of the bearings on electi Ic bell In the englno loom announces the fact. The tcmpeiaturcs of the different rooms In the factory are regulated by a special thenno- atatlc arrangement of great simplicity. An other Invention which emanates from the same fci tile source employs electric heat for cutting thick glass tubes for making static machines , birometrlc tubes , etc. Ever } chemist or electrician engaged In tills class of work knows the difficulty of getting a smooth and even cut at the exact spot de sired , The usual procedure Is to wind some cotton thread , wick or fiber around the ee- Ipcted spot on the tube , moisten it with methylated spirits , and apply a light to it. The application of a few drops ot cold water will then crack the glass. The Improved method of accomplishing this Is to clamp up the tube securely , put around It a ring of platinum wire and turn on the current through a suitable resistance. The tube Is then dropped Into a vessel containing water , and the crack Is clean and smooth. Sheet glass can bo cut In the same way , but here no application of water Is necessary ; the mere placing of the red-hot platinum wire on the glass does the work. In one of the experiments in the Russian factory a very practical application of the X-rays was In itiated. It was necessary to ascertain the resistance and Insulation of a length of silken flexible double wire. The non-deflec tion of the galvanoscopc showed that one of the compound strands was broken. It would have been n most tedious Job to unwind the silken , rubber and cotton insulation In order to find out the breakage , and then put back the three Inctilatlnglavcrs , as the wlro was sumo hundred feet long. The X- rays , were turned on , the wlro was uncoiled and examined through a fluoroscopo. The defective place was soon found , < ho vUre was cut at the particular spot , the ends were Joined electrically and the work , went on. THE DAY OP THE MOTOR CAR. The day of the motor car as a practical factor In locomotive traffic has arrived , and the long-suffering cab horae will soon have outlived Its day of usefulness. In Europe , the recognition ot the utility of the autocar has been prompt and thorough , wbllo Amei- DR. PRICE'S Cream World's Fair Highest Award.

There is a cerlaln arllclo of American manufacture , which , BO far as it Is known there , has met with the highest esteem In India. This Is the American baby carriage. Its introducllon lo the appreciative Hindoo Is of recent date and knowledge of It Is still strlclly limited , soys Iho New York Tribune. A' ' few months ago a man In this city , who conducts the principal part of his business In India , sent as a present lo Iho superintendent of his eastern house a wicker baby carriage of the familiar patlern seen every day in slrccls and parks. Tlio delight of the recipient was unbounded and was eloquently expressed In a letter of thanks. Nothing like the now article had Dvcr been seen In the neighborhood of Ahmedabad , or , for that niatler , probably not In any other part of the empire. Afler singing Iho praises of Iho wicker carriage , is contrasted with the clumsy , box-shaped English perambulator of wood , the Hindoo concluded his letter by requesting lhat two 3r three more of the vehicles bo sent to ilm , that ho might make presents to his 'i lends. One of these he desired to have se eded with the greatest care , as It was In- : cnded for n native prlnco of renown. As in extra embelllnhment , ho wanted It fitted f , Ith regular carriage lamps , which should jo built not only for show bill for use. "I thought to myself1 said the man to vhoso lot It fell to fill this curious order , 'thai babies , In India or anywhere else , mght not to bo kept out Into enough to iced lamps on their carriages. Still , every mo to his taste , and I suppose princes are lot to bo criticised , I had some trouble In Indtng carriage lamps which wcro small mough , but I finally succeeded. Several ; rosn of candles to burn In Iho lamps went vlth the rest , and the outfit was highly lallsfaclory to the Hindoo purchaser. "I don't know whether this Indicates that ill India will bo suddenly seized with a Icslre for American baby carriages , but our Uimcdabad friend has certainly dona his test to net the fashion In his part ot the : ountry.

It Is Ihrt the gallant majo was a bchool teacher , the very firht one li Cass county , Iowa. Hci father , K. W. Ma comber , was an early settler In that countj going there In 1853. The fall of that jea tlio futuio woman soldier of high rank laugh In a house located on ground upon am around which the city of Atlantic has bcei built. Her father had ancestors In Hie wai of Iho revolution , and her mother , who carai from Connecticut , was a relative of the lati ex-govetnor , ex-member of Grant's cablne and ex-minister to Russia , Marshall Jewell The blight , handsome. Independent youiif lady was a great favorite In the new count ! and her work as a teacher hlghlj appreciated' Ono of her bi others , J. K. Macombcr , Is t prominent lawjer of Des Molnc * , whoso wlfi Is a v rlter and lecturer of note , and ha * taken a leading part In advocating the rightc anil duties ot women. From 1S55 until I860 pretty and vivacious Belle Macombcr did not have to hunt foi schools ; her fame was abroad and schoo ofllclals did the hunting. She never had It lake up with n cull school , where llic build. Ing was a barn and the salary fit only It starve on ; she had hoi pick of the best , ic- cclvel tlio highest wages paid any teacher Ir the countj and was always one of the first In tlio new section's 400. Among the jounp men who regarded the popular leacher wltli a Jealous cje was William S Rejnolds , and In 1SGO , the jear In which the old ship ol Elate lan upon rocks and might have gone down If a modest Illinois man hadn't been called lo the captalncjBella Macombcr be came Mrs. Rejnolds , ana soon afterward they made Illinois their home , where Ihej weio living when Iho war came. Mr. Rej nolds did not wall long afler Lincoln's second end call for soldiers , a call which qulcklj followed the first one , before finding himself Ibo cholco of a company of young etalwarts foi first lieutenant. When the new soldier Informed his joung wife lhal ho had enlisted , expecting to see her break down and then brace up and declare - clare lhal ho should not go , ho was sur prised lo see her face wrealhcd la smiles Joy-promplcd , glad binlles. "What do you llilnk of It , Belle ? " asked Soldier Rejnolds. , "Think of it what do I think of your going to the war ? Why , I am delighted. It is what jou ought to do. " "Then you will nol object lo my going ? " "Not I. It is of all things that which I have most wanted you to do since Mr. Lin coln's first call. " "Don't j-ou think you will miss mo and wish I hadn't gone ? " "Not for ono momcnl. " II was getting serious. The lieutenant wanted to serve his country , bul he didn't rjulte like to sec his bride so confoundedly liappy at the thought of his going lo war for three jears ; going , mnybe , nnd qulto likely , not to rctuin Ho would have preferred a few tears and an acsortmenl of chldlngs for proposing to Icavo Ihe woman ho had re- ccnlly married , lo Iho gladness bhe mani- fesled. Seeing lhat her husband was In deep water , was distressed over the lurn of affairs , she threw her arms about his neck and proceeded to give him a new shock. "I will tell jou why I will not miss you ind shall nol want you to como home. I nn going to the -war with you. Now , don't [ irotesl. " "But Ihlnk of It ! Think of the long narches , sleeping on the ground , of dangers in batlle. It will nol do " "Yes , U will do I am In pet feet health , is slrong as you nnd as palrlollc. " When the Sevcnleonlu Illinois went south Mrs. Belle Reynolds went with tt , taking .ho fare of a soldier. At the battle of rhlloh she wan under flro until compelled to cave. Whllo on her way to the rear she iavv a fluid hospital. The whlto faces of the mffcrcrs and the gioans of those nol BO jadly Injured Impelled her to stop.
