It cannot tut be interesting to all to know
antitctbiiig of the mora important stops that
hdvo recently ljn taken In applying the
ncU-ncu of electricity us an Industrial art.
The font U oim Hint Is easily convertible into
either light, liifut, power or chemical action.
But a few years since scion tiflo men gen
erally afllrtned that it could not be profitably
emfloycd in either form. Now they are in
hut competition duruoiuitrating its economic
value in each. And every uew achievement
reveaU further anl greater possibilities at
tainable leiyond in encb of tbe several lines
of application, until it almost septus that this
science is iu itself the knowledge of the in
finite Ho little awhile flo that It teems but yes
terday the writer of this article hear J a pro
fesnor in a college near New York aver in a
publfo lecture that lncand'-scent electric
lighting was an illusion, a humbug, an Iru
IMjoMibUity. At the time Edisou's experi
mental lumps were glowuig brightly
uriiai umps were giowuig ongutiy at
Mfcilo I'ark, but the professor saw Ct to ig
nore the fact, and, exhibiting a dull, glowing
f.iit of platinum wire, said triumphantly:
'There, gentlemen, is all you will ever see of
tbo incanilesct-nt electric light. " The arc
light con 1.1 not bo denied, for everybody
knew that the JablochkolT candles were
uightly glowing in tho Avenue de l'Opera in
I'uri.
FZVKX TEA IU1 I-4.TEO.
Today, hardly seven years sinco that pro
feasor did bis bad prophet act, there are, it is
trtinuited. -fit least 2.000,000 incandescent
elwctric lights in tho United States alono.
They are used not only for indoor illumina
tion, lnt for decorative purposes have been
ingoiiiouHly appiiel to use as jewelry, for the
adornment of ladies' hair, for pretty sur
prises in bouquets and most surprising of
all -for lighting up pooplo's interiors so that
a doctor could look right down Into the
stomachs and see what repairs were neces
sary to so much of their "works" as were
thus made visible. The apparatus for this
latter achievement consists of a slender tube,
with a gl;tsa bead on one end containing a
minute carbon filament, which is connected,
ly fine wires running through the tube, with
a Uttio battery. There is also a small mov
able mirror at tbe inner or stomach end of
the tube, and when tbe batiery Is put in
operation the operator can see plainly in
that mirror JiiKt how dilapidated are the
coats of the stomach into which the tube has
been thruat.
Arc lighting la quite a different matter
from incandescent illumination, in that its
limitations, requirements and uses are moro
closely defined. For the lighting up of vast
paces it has a field of its own, but, accord
ing to Information given at the recent annual
session of the Electric institute in this city,
that field is already being uarrowej. The
arc light is no longer the feature of street
illumination in Paris that it was a few years
ago, having been replaced by groupings of
iowerful gaslights on the Avenue de l'Opera,
tbe principal place of its display there. New
York is now the most extensively arc lighted
city in tbe world, but if the appalling perils
that seem to be involved in tho employment
of the tremendous current necessitated by
these lights aro not prevented by such safe
guards as tbe burial of tbe wires and their
more perfect insulation, it is doubtful if they
will long be tolerated here. There is hardly
j conceivable limit to the power to which
the ore light may be developed, but the
. largest one yet known is that in tbe lights
-"V bouse at Sydney, Australia, which equal
1SG.0U0 caudJes, and can be seen fifty miles.
Mr. S. 8. W heeler, as standards of compari
son to enable comprehension of what that
Jiht amounts to, suggests that an ordinary
gas burner U of 16 candle power; tbe bright
tlectric lights in the streets are 1,200 to 1jOO
candle power, and the Stat uo of Liberty light
i 43,000 candle power.
TI!E TEI.ECIRAPH BEItVtCTS.
Of equal importance, at least with its uu
for illumination, is tbe application of elec
tricity for telegraphic and telephonic service,
and it is really wonderful that with all the
study and toil of brainy men during so many
years as it has teen since the telegraph w;is
put in Oration, for tbe perfecting of the
science of telegraphy, tbcro should still be so
taany new and important things found out in
It every year. One of tho novel and probably
valuable recent discoveries is bow to send by
telegraph an exact fac-simile of a message,
and to do so rapidly. A method has been
known a long time by which a fac-simile
was mode up of an infinite number of minute
dots successively, placed on a piece of paper
spread upon a cylinder in synchronous move
ment with another cylinder bearing the mes
sage. A pciat, pressed upon the message
cylinder as it revolved, caused the break
ing of tbe current each time that it
touched a written line the ink employed
being metallic and tnada a mark by
tbe receiving instrument corresponding to
just so much of tho line as had been touched.
Uut that was a very slow process. In the new
way an upright lever, so pinioned that it
moves freely iu all directions, carries in Its
top a little cup. Into that cup tbe sender of
a message pokes bis pencil, and forms, one
after another, the letters composing bis dis
patch. It will probably rattle him a little at
first to go on making shapes of letters right
la tbe same sjKjt, one over another, as if be
were piling up phantom symbols, and to see
nona of then materialize under bis pencil,
but bo (vill soon get used to that. Each
movement of the lever's lower end increases
or diminishes the strength of currents that,
acting upon tte receiTiu g machinery, move
the writing pen in such carved modifications
of tbo right angled applications of tho forces
as to conform to tbe motions of the trans
mitting lever.
This must not be confounded with tbe writ
t Ing system now so extensively employed in
transatlantic telegraphy to take tbe place of
tl4 old, ex certain and slow light epot method
of receiving cablo messagea. A strong bat
tery cannot be used on ocean cables, but only
a small one, hardly stronger than that em
ployed to ring a call bell in a private boose.
To receive the signals sent by so weak a bat
tery very delicate apparatus must be pro-'-rided.
A siphon shaped glass tube, thin and
so slender that a human hair will hardly
pass through it, if suspended with one end in
a trough of very fluid ink and tbe other al
most touching a moving telegraphic tape. It
la connected by a tLread with a coil of fine
wire, which is so bung near to a stationary
magnet that it will twist slightly when at
tracted toward tbe magnet, and these slight
movements of tbe coil control tbe siphon,
causing it to trace a faint waved line in re
sponse to the vibrations of tbe signal current
received by the coil and Impelling it toward
tbe magnet. Each wave of the lino means a
letter, and the expert operator reads the
thread of faint color as plainly and correctly
a anybody reads these printed words.
A SURPUTSCtO Taisa
It was at the Umo looked apon as a surpris
ing thing when tbe practicability of sending
two RMMagnt at tb aim tlma in opposite
directions over tbe same wire was demon
strated, but that achievement was quickly
forgotten when the woncVrsof tbe quadru
ples lending four mianages at once), and of
multiplex (sending many) telegraphy wera
made known. Now it is claimed that such
Improvement has been made by a United
States army officer, who is an expert electri
cian, that one wire will sufllee for the simul
taneous sending and receiving of a hundred
mcMftagcs between fifty brunch ofTlces, with
out any of the message getting mixed, going
to the wrong addresses, or being understood
at any other points than their individual
ones of transmbViou and reception. For this,
the infinitely rapid substitution of alternate
currents positive and negative by means
of a disc, in which alternate segments are so
charged, and from which the currents are
taken off by brushes, constitute tbe means
employetL Another Important recent im
provement in telegraphy is the Invention of
a method for maintaining telegraphic com
munication Lxtween a railroad train in rapid
motion and cilices along the line of road
upon which it is traveling. In doing this
tho messugo leaj through tbe air between
the metallic roof of tho moving car In
which the flying office is established and the
wire stretched along tho sidd of tbo road.
In tho application of electricity to tbe
movement of railroad trains and cars, the
inventions are numerous. In a general way
they mny bo classified under two heads, those
in which the propelling current is supplied
from storage batteries aboard the cars, and
those in which it is transmitted through the
track or an intermediate third rail from a
generating station and taken up by wire
brushes to tbe motor on the car. Tbo former
U the J u lien system, already mentioned, and
hardly seems capablo at present of applica
tion to heavier service than the propulsion of
single cars, or at most very bhort trains, on
street rail ways; to tho second class belongs the
Daft system, under which railroads are now
very successfully operated in Daltlmore and
other cities, as also tho electrio locomotives
which it is contemplated shall bo employed
on tho elevated roads of New York. St.
Paul has a new electric railway of novel con
struction. Its cars are suspended in mid air
from a T shaped trestle construction, upon a
single track, which carries the electrical
current to the motor with which each car is
supplied. The motors are placed directly on
tbe 6bafts of the driving wheels over the
cars. It 13 represented that on the recent
trials of tho system tho cars, heavily laden,
started ofT easily up a 10 per cent, grade,
turned sharp curves, were stopped and start
ed again promptly and with case. Electrio
railroads have been in operation In Europe
for several years, and in this one particular
branch of applied electrical scienco wo are
rather behind the times, which is not Ameri
ca's usual position.
MANY OTHER rXVENTIOXS.
Electric motors of all Eizes, from one cat
up to fifteen horse power, have now come
into general use, are rapidly pushing small
steam engines out of favor, and ore, in fact,
so much in demand that the manufacturers
of tho preferable ones aro unable to supply
them as rapidly as they are'called for. They
are applied to all sorts of uses, from wagging
a fan on a lady's work table, or running her
sewing inachino up to driving the presses of
a big printing bouse or supplying tho power
required in large machine shops.
Electricity is also successfully utilized for
tbe development of heat. Professor Thom
sou has made a practical application of it in
tho welding of iron and steeL At Lockjxjrt,
N. Y., an electrical furnace for smelting re
fractory metals has been in operation now
uearly a year, extracting aluminium mainly
Another use for heat developed by elec
tricity is tho warming of apartments by
means of radiating surfaces, in which a high
temperature has been induced by electric cur
rents; but, though this has been successfully
accomplished, it has not been done as yet at
snch a cost as to popularize its use.
At least three of tbe later utilizations of
electric science for the service of 6urgory are
worthy of mention. Tho "induction bal
ancrs" invented by Hughes and IJoll first
publicly applied for tbe exact location of the
bullet in lresident GarficldV back is a most
ingenious contrivance, tbo use of which is
indicated by its employment upon that occa
sion. Tbo electrical cautery and the use of a
platinum wire heated to incandeseeuco by an
electrical current for amputations are tbe
other notable surgical uses of this powerful
and versatile agent.
Somebody has got up an electrical lock for
a safe. Tbo only connection between tho in
side and outsido of tho eafo is a little copper
wire. There is no way of getting at tho lock
by knocking olf tho handle; no wry of feel
ing the tumblers and by delicate manipula
lion finding out tbo combination; uo hole or
crack to poke powder in and blow tho thing
open. Electrical burglar alarms are so com
mon now from the private plants in resi
dences up to the big combinations with
watchmen, lanterns and clubs, such as are
used to guard tho jewelry district of New
York, that it is hardly worth while to speak
of them, except to mention that progress bas
been made here, too, in making them cheaper
and more effective than they used to bo.
So much has been said lately about Edison's
uew and improved phonograph that it hardly
seems worth while to mere than revert to it
hero. Edison's separator for extracting metals
from ores that are diiQcuit of treatment by
ordinary methods has been brought to prac
tical demonstration of its merits. lie simply
exposes tbo finely pulverized ores to the in
fluence of a powerful magnet, that takes
out tho metallic particles thoroughly and
rapidly.
Another novel application of electricity is
for tbo Lleaching of sugar, a French inven
tion. In which a number of Now York capi
talists are interested. Ueeping pace with the
progress of electrical science itself are tho
multitude of inventions and contrivances of
a secondary class to aid that progress, tools,
machinery, chemicals end what not. An
application of electricity that a good many
people are looking forward to with curious
interest and some perhaps with a little ap
prehension is its employment for the exe
cution of felons condemned to death. New

The jewelers 6hop windows used to be tbe
most attractive in New York. That was in
the good old days, before window dressers
made Droadway.a panorama of delight to tbe
female eye. To recover the prestige once ac

ingenious mechanical devices. These are not

matic smokers of the cigar shops by auy
means. They ore jowels themselves, but

nificent diamond star, cut from a solitaire,

speed by the bidden mechanism. Each of

ALPINE FUHEIULS.
CEREMONIAL
OF
VISIT TO THE
THE . DYING.
BEC
Funeral Heats and Drinks Respects raid
t lb Dead In Coxlnlhl Native Soci
ety of the AJps Seeaee and Features
After thm Barlal.
In tbe remote country districts it may also
be said that tbo funeral begins before tbe
death. As soon as any biu or woman is
supposed to be in tho last agony not oidy all
neighbors and friends, but perfect strangers,
are Informed of tbe fact and expected to pay
a ceremonial visit. Tbe guests simply enter
the sick room, take a long look at tbe dying
man and go their ways. No prayer is said,
hardly a word is spoken; yet even the chance
wayfarer who declines to enter tbe bouse of
death on such occasions is considered
strangely heartless.
After death the stream of visitors ceases,
but only for a short tlma As soon as the
body bas been prepared for burial a long ta
ble is spread in the room where it lies and
covered with wine, spirits and cold viand of
every description, and here open bouse is
held day and nigbt till tbe funeral starts for
the churchyard. Whoever comes, known
or unknown, rich or poor, is not only al
lowed, but urged, to eat and drink as much
as be can. Beside the coHn at least two
huge wax candles, which have been fetched
from the church, burn dimly, and near them
two old women sit or kneeL They are paid
for their services, and supposed to pass their
time in prayer. From time to time they ore
relieved by others, and they then usually
make a somewhat lengthened pause at tho ta
ble before going homo. After the return of
the funeral the chief mourner invites every
ono who bas attended it to a hot meal, which
is as sumptuous as be can afford, aud which
usually ends in hard drinking.
rCXERAL IN CAQINTRIA.
Customs of this kind aro not prevalent In
Carinthia or Upper Carniola; funerals are
there conducted with perfect quiet and de
cency. Yet in some observances one may
find either tbe germ or the relic of much that
shocks us in other districts. On the whole,
the arrangements seem to be adjusted to the
present religious beliefs and requirements of
tbe community, and it is easy to see bow
they might degenerate into such excesses as
have been mentioned. A simple account
of a funeral in Carinthia will show this
better than any amount of abstract argu
ment. As soon as tbe body has been placed in the
coffin and the room put in order, tbe latter is
thrown open to tbo visitors. In a Roman
Catholic country it is natural that rich and
poor should alike wish to say a few prayers
for the soul of one who bas been their friend,
their companion or their benefactor. Among
tbe educated classes certain hours are ap
pointed for tbe purpose; among the poorer it
is usual to keep tbe bouse open day and
night. During the greater part of the time
the mourners pray silently, but at certain
hours one of them repeats aloud the prayers,
in which tbe others join. On leaving tbe
room each of tbe visitors is offered a piece of
bread and a glass of wine or spirits, and the
poor are apt to be offended if the offer is re
fused. Among a hospitable population this
custom cannot be considered strange, but it
must be confessed that, though the refresh
ments ore usually consumed in perfect si
lcnce, it is open to abuse. Beggars will come
six or seven times in the day for the sake of
tho dram with whicb tbeir devotions aro re
warded, ar.d as it often happens that no
member of the family is present, and as uo
one would like at such a season to be guilty
of an ungracious act, it is very difficult to
keep a proper check on such persona
THE NATIVE SOCIETY.
The native society of the AJps is some
what peculiar in its character. Tbe better
class of tbe officials have, for the most part.
U'eo educated in the same schools, and many
of tbem have there formed lasting friend
ships with each other. In later years they
rarely meet, except at the annual meetings
of the societies of which they may happen
to be members; but tbe old affection still re
mains unimpaired. When the news of the
death of an old forester or priest spreads
from valley to valley it therefore awakens
many kind memories of old times, and on
the day of tbe funeral old companions will
often come some thirty or forty miles, even
ben a railway cannot be used, to pay tbe
last tribute of respect to the dead, hi tbe
towns these visitors put up at different inns,
only those who are very intimate with tbe
family think of entering the bouse of mourn
ing. At the appointed hour they gather outside
tbe door, accompany tbo funeral to tbe
churchyard, and on its return speak a few
words of sympathy to the family. As a
rule, no refreshment is offered them. Ouly
the bearers of the coffin, who are usually in
timate friends or colleagues of tbe deceased,
are invited to a cold repast, which does not
last long. In a society at once so closely
united and so widely sputtered it cannot but
happen that many old friends who have long
boon separated should meet on such occasions.
and that, after the ceremony is over, they
should gather in groups in the various inns.
Tbe very thought of the companion they
have lost recalls memories of a less somber
character. Old boyish pranks are remem
bered and old bunting adventures retold,
tbe wine flows freely, and, though the occa
sion of their meeting is not forgotten, its
mournful character no longer casts a gloom
over tbe whole of tho conversation. In fact,
when a respected citizen of any small town
has Un buried, a stranger who entered any
of the chief bouses of entertainment in the
afternoon would fancy that a festival was

WE MAKE OUR OWN PENS.
Rapid Growth of the SteH Ten Industry.
Iitlerrtttlug Statistic.
"Every yea? the citizens of the United
States wear out WO.OOO.OOO steel pens," said a
prominent manufacturer to a reporter.
"Twenty years ago most of the steel pens
used In this country were Imported. Now
comparatively few are imported, and there
are several factories In this country in whicb
they are mado in large quantities. At pres
ent the importation of foreign pens n mainly
confined to the high priced articles. It was
firkt doubted that steel ns could bo made
in this country, but it was soon learned that
the requisite skilled labor could be obtained
for high wages, and the success of tho pio
neers led one manufacturer after another into
the business, until now tbo field U pretty
well occupied.
"Most of the work on these little Instru
ments is done with tho aid of very fine ma
chlnery worked by women and girls. Tho
steel used is imported, becaused it is believed
that tbe quality is more uniform than the
American steeL This uniformity of quality
is necessary, because of tbe very delicate
tempering required In tbo manufacture of
the fiens. That mysterious quality of steel
which gives different colors is a quality that
requires expert manipulation on the part of
the workman who does the tempering. lie
must know tho nntui'o of the material with
which be works, and with that knowledge he
must exercise a celerity and skill that Heizo
uon the proper Instant to fasten the steel at
heat which Insures the requisite quality.
"First, the steel is rolled into large sheets.
These are cut iuto strips about throe laches
wide. Theso strips are annealed, that is,
they are heated to a red heat and permitted
to cool gradually v t!:at tho l.t i
all removed, and the steel is soft enough to
be easily worked. Then the strips are again
rolled to the required thickness. It ia the
quick eye for color and tbe quick band that
fastens it that constitute tbe skill to deter
mine tho temper of tho steeL When tbo steel
is heated for tempering it is bright. The
first color that appears is straw color. This
changes rapidly to a blue. Tho elasticity of
the metal varies with the color, and is ar
rested at any point by instant plunging in
cold water. The processes of splitting, pol
ishing, pointing and finishing the pens tire
operations requiring dexterity, but by long
practice the workmen and workwomen bo
cuino very expert. There have been few
changes of late years, and tho process of
manufacture is much tho same as it was
twenty years ngo, and tho prices are rather
uniform, ranging from twenty-five cents
to one dollar per gross, according to
tie quality of finish. Tho boxes sold gen
erally contain a gross. The txst now Iu the

who buy foreign jx-ns at fancy prices find

Moderation In Athletic Trauihig.
The means to bo adopted for tho attain
ment of robust health are cleanliness, regu
larity of habits, moderation in diet, exercise,
preferably In the open uir, in accordance
with the capacity of tho individual and na
ture of tho contest, and abstinence from
strong drinks aud tobacco. II a man trains
simply to improve bis health be does so more
or less moderately; if for a contest, more or
less strictly in accordance with the impor
tance of the event. A man can do either
wjjhout a trainer if he has an ordinary
amount of common sense and will power.
The man who simply desires to live in a
sound, healthy condition should follow these
rules, modifying them slightly, according to
age or physique:
Get up not later than 7 a. m., sponge and
rub yourself with a coarse towel uutil tho
skin is red. Do not ttop if perspiring, but
keep on till tired. It is good exercise. Then
dress and take a fairly long walk before and
after breakfast. Walk to your place of bu: i
ness. Attend to work in tbe usual way, re
sisting ovcry inclination you may havo to
give way to indolence. Walk homo. Never
mind tbe weather; a little raiu will not hurt
you. and summer heat will not affect you when
you have done it long enough to do you good.
Then have dinner, avoiding, as at your lunch
and breakfast, greasy, sweet, highly flavored
or seasoned foot! Water is the boi-t thing to
drink, and that ia bc-tter drank after finish
ing your meaL Take your time over dinner
in particular and other meals in general. If
you have not time to get a meal leisurely go
without it, as it will uot injure you a quarter
much as it will to eat it in a hurry.
Amuse yourself in the evening according to
your taste, which, a.? you get healthier, will
incline to active rather than effeminate
amusements. Repeat the spouging and rub

Fishermen S&ilins from Port.
As a rule a vessel goes on a f;sl:ug expe
dition with some particular sort of prey in
view. A cod "rig" will also servo for had
dock, but for halibut stronger tackle and
bigger books are ueeded, while mackerel and
herring must bo taken in uets. Thus it is
that boats usually sail from port, equipped
suitably for capturing a single kind of fish,
to tho netting or booking of which each
craft devotes its exclusive attention. For
halibut, haddock aud the toothsome cod the

that many tons burden, which spend there as
many months as aro necessary to secure a
load oi "fare," as it is technically
called. The system of angling pursued by
these "pot hunters" would scarcely obtain
the approval of lovers of sport. Lines a
cailo or so in length, with hooks attached at
six feet intervals, are anchored in the shal
lows over the babks with buoys of wood or
cork to mark them. These "trawls" for so
they are designated aro set at nigbt and iu
