f 6 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY -AUGUST 15 1881. MACHINE-MADE ELEOTRIOITY , Its Tot In tlio "Western Union Main Office for TolcRrnpli Purposes. From The Now York Sun. The substitution of dynnmo-clectrl innchinc * by tin ) Western Union tele grnph company in its Now York main oilico for the c1icinic.il batteries hw given such qooil satisfaction tlm the most of tlio old ImUories though still in place. Imvo been cleaned up. Nona of tlicso battcrici have been in use for Bcvor.il months except for short wires insideof th city. The last of the wires radiating from Now York to bo operated by niachino-mado electricity were tin qiiadruplex lines , the longest of whicl are to Now Orleans and to North Sidney noy , in Capo Breton , the terminus o the Anglo-American cablo. The use of the machines , although thcro i little doubt it will bp continued , is ye declared to bo only in its exporitnun tal stagefl. All the electricity ustfd on linci running out of Now York comes from two banks of machines ; each bank run by n small engine of nbout ten horse power. Tliuro arotivo machine in each bank. One of the five ma chines merely furnishes electricity t < convert tlm bent soft iron bars of tin other four machines into magnets , si that , in fact , each bank has only fou machines for the distribution o electricity to the company's wirea The machine is tlicrameinprincipleas these used for producing olcctiic lights that is to nay , a bobbin wound fion end to end witlt insulated > \ ire is mndo to revolve near n inagnet. current is tJiua formed in tlio wire wound nbout the magnet. In one of the banks of machines the bobbins nro turned one "way , producing pos'i- tivo electricity , and in the other bank they are turned the other way to pro duce negative electricity. Both kinds are required to meet the re qtilromcnts of different ofiiccs. The power of electricity to perform telegraphic work is called its poten tial , and the potential in reckoned in volts. The company goto from the first machine in the bank a potential of about seventy volts that is to say , the equivalent of seventy cups of the Col land battery formerly in use for main lines. A wire leads from this machine to convoy electricity to these lines that require only seventy volts to operate them. There is n connec tion between the armature of the first machine and that of the second , at the further end of which a second wire leads to the switchboard. Its potential is abdut 140 volts , and it supplies lines acquiring so much potential. There is an increa.se of potential in each machine , but it is not necessarily doubled each time , nitico die potential , depends not only upon the rapidity with which the bobbin is run , and the strength of the magnet , but on the amount of resistance. From the fourth machine is obtained a potential of about 340 volts , which h used only on the Chicago , Now Orleans , and long quadruplox lines. * In case cither of the two banks mentioned needs repair a third bank , run by a separate onirino , may bo put in use to supply either positive or negative electricity. First the now bank is set in motion and its elec tricity is put upon the lines which carry a double supply for n moment until the other bank is stopped. The efl'cct on the lines ia not noticeable , because , although the quantity of electricity in increased , the potential is the sumo. The difference between quantity and potential is illustrated by elec tricians us follows : If a drop of water is closely confined and heated , it will develop a violently otplosivo force ; but it would bo instantly ex haustod. On the other hand , the steam front a boiler , although by up means BO hot , may be drawn off in a continuous jet , It is also said , by way of illustration , that there is not a sufficient quantity of electricity in n whole thunder storm to run a single line of telegraph , but what thcro is there has n terrific potential. Polon tial gives working power. Quantity enables the electrician to feed man ; linos. linos.Thoro There is a very low resistance h : these machines , or , in other words , the electricity produced finds an easy channel. For this reason the current is supplied to each line through n ro distance coil of German silver wire wound around a chalk cylinder , whicl furnishes a definite amount of resist nnco. Otherwise an accidental short circuiting on one line might diver vj from all the other wires the curren necessary to uao it. The company has put machines int H its Now \ork oilico only , In on scnso they are not BO much under con I * trol as the old batteries. In th lii'fi cfiso of the batteries just as many cups as might bo desirable to work : line could bo used , Now the oleo trician , if seventy volts is not cnong1 to work n line , must tap the secon machine and got double the numbe 'fe of , vplts. Ho can not got nny inter ' mediate number. The machines an found to bo cheaper by nearly one half than the chemical batteries were They take less space , and uro mor < easily taken care of. American Pork in Europe , KewYork Tlmei , can In spite of the restrictions hid upo fcw , thb importation of American pork in several countries of Kuropo , our ex uut port trade in ho products 'oe's on ii creasing. During the throe niontli ending Maich 31 , bacon and hanm were reported to the value of S22.- 227,991 , against 814,093,407 in the lirst three months of 1880 ; the export of lard was 010 014 030 , against 7- 208,887 iu the eamo pciiod of the pre vious year , and of pork the shipments amounted to $2,770,678 , against 81- 403 , 703 in 1880. The export of b.v ' con and lunns for these three months was nearly half iis great us for the entire year ending Juno 30,1880 , in which we eent out 830,067,323 worth. The decree of President Grevy , issued ou February 18 , prohibiting the im portation of American pork intj Franco is still in iorco , and shuts us out from one of our largest markets , but similar decrees in sev eral other countries have been withdrawn. In Spain the interdiction decreed in March , 1881 , was canceled in the following August , and our pork JIQV has free entry in Spanish ports. - - - ui * aui salt- - nc t fending Bpmu - tainly known whether the prohibition has been withdrawn , Reports from I Turkey slate that American pork antu hams are being received there in con ; sidorablu quantities , find nro passct by the custom inspectors , no nttempl being made to enforce the prohibitory decree. Italy not nn important market for us maintains the .cmbnr i < o , Belgium and Holland have novci joined in the movement , which , the French government was rccentl , reminded in a protest from the lar < and salted meats trade in Bordeaux was protective rather than hygienic ii Us origin. It is understood that Minister Mor ton will make the excision of Ainori can pork from Franco the subject of i special communication to the Froncl government. Facts enough can _ b < presented in n very brief communion lion to show the absurdity of the posi tion taken by France. Only a single well authenticated case of trichinosis has occurred in Franco , that at Cropy en-Valois in 1878. and that waicaused by eating the llesh of a hog rained ami slaughtered in the neighborhood , No case of trichinosis has over boon re ported Franco , Belgium , or England which could bo traced to American pork. That trichimo exist in a very small proportion of the hogs slangh torcd in this country is an undoubted fuel , however , but end justifying some milder form of'precaution than abso lute prohibition. The Belgian coun cil of public health , declining1 to ro- commund prohibition or inspection , informs the government that the public safety will bo insured by tak ing every possible means to make it generally known that it is dangerous to eat half-cooked or raw pork , but that thorough cooking destroys tri- chimu. The subject is discussed at consid erable length in the consular reports for July by several of our European Consuls. Col. Frank H. Mason , United States Consul at Basic , 8witz ) rland , says that , following the exam ! > Io of the French government , the au ilioritlesof several Swiss cantona refuse ; o admit American hams and bacon. Fho consequence is that the importa- ; ion of meats from this country has 'alien oil' from 15 to 20 per cent , liorno and Zurich are among the can ons which refuse to allow our pork to jo entered , but it is still brought in to onio extent under invoices which rep- esent it to bo from Germany. The [ row ignorance which prevails in Switzerland as to the actual extent to rhich American swine are infected wth trichina ) is shown in a. proclanm- ion of the local government of the /anton of Nouchatol calling attention o the danger of eating meats import- d from America and containing this omarkablo statement : ' 'It is well os ablishod by microscopic examination hat the greater part of thcso moats , -hicli , in the form of hams and con- orvcd canned meats , constitute a lortion of the public sustenance , con- ain trichina ) in greater or less propor- ions. " The real fact , ns determined by Jonsul Mason's observation , is that 'an average of 1 per cent , of the hogs laughtcrcd in America during certain easons of the year are infected by richimu. " Ho recommends what has o of.en been suggested to the cov- irnment ns a necessity the establish- nent of a careful system of inspection ind the rejection of nil trichinous car- iassses , adding that "tho partial loss ) f 1 per cent of the hog crop is trifling when compared with the impending ruin of the pork export trade. " The trade Us evidently in no immediate langor of vuin , but it is none the less true that commercial and humane con siderations impose upon us the adop tion of some safeguard against the shipment of diseased meats"to foreign countries. By N the Goiman sys tem of microscopic inspection of every animal slaughtered the certain exclusion of every in fected carcass , from our foreign ship ments can bo accomplished ut nn ex pause of about three cents per hog , i competent inspector being able to ox < nmino 100 animals in n day , and earn ing 83. An oillcial certificate of in spection would make cargoes of Amor icnu hams , bacon and pork much moro readily saleable in Europe. Another point urged by Consul Mason is the necessity of some authoritative pub Mention on American pork-raising fo distribution abroad , containing , among other information , "tho actual values of land nirl corn in the pork-growing statcsj by which it can bo shown thn American meats , notwithstandin their superior quality , can bo legiti mately sold in Europe from 10 to 2 per cent cheaper thru native moats. In some European countries the pi > o plo are made to believe that tin cheapness of American pork is owing to its inforidr or damaged quality they being told that hogs which die o disease or in transportation nro packo for the European market.

Reader , did you over see an India : jamboree none of your tame , listlcs ; afliiirathi , which thp participants an attired in thuir ordinary everyday ha bilimenU , but a real live iiuarighm circus , where ouch individual one i ritrgud out in nil the pomp nnd glor ; of war puint and feathers nnd fantnsti' garbs many half naked , their bron ed bodies partly hidden by strenks c vermilion und yellow nnd blue nn white and dauba of paint of all ima ginable and unimaginable gaudy hues , They carry no tomahawks , and their guns uro laid aside ; but they present no less n tierce nnd warlike appearance because these familiar weapons are wanting. Sitting around in n circle these fantastically decorated sons of the forest bqunt , tailor fashion , und ns the tom-tom , responding to the quick ly plied stick in n dozen willing hands , gives forth n monotonous sound , assimilating with the chanting accom paniment , one fierce bravo starts up nnd leads oil' in the mazes of the dance , tion ] another und another till a score or more of the Biwagos aio keeping tread to the not over cxliili- uniting music. Then a rest follows nnd the tom-tom ceases its dreary din. But it ia for n moment only a wild whoop and Manitobanoss darts for * ward , recounting his heroic deeds. As ho finishes the tom-tom again strikes up its monotone , nnd many briivea ioin in the preliminary dance that leads to the war-path. One darts here with uplifted unu und unuko- like movement as if in pursuit of nn imaginary foe ; another creeps Btealthi- ly along , hiding himself as it were retreat , nnd in all shapes an figures they imitate the manu'uvring of In dian warfuro. The tom-tom beat louder , the voices chant stronger nnd the sharp shrill yolli of the inspired 'warriorrs become frenzied shnoks , while the dance is made more madly wild and the strangely attired figures mingle wicrdly in the scene. Another rest and up springs llight-up-in-tho- Sky not n very tall man , as his name would indicate. Ho tells how ho had taken the scalps of seven Sioux the hereditary foe of the Objibbcwnya two near Fort Garry , two nt Grand Forks nnd another on the plains. His deeds of valor recited , the war dunce is resumed and continues with un abated vigor for n few minutes. Clear Sky , following his firmamontly named comrade , recounts his exploits honlso had killed seven and the dnrtco is nialn resumed. Another rest , nnd Floating Lily-a brawny chief , whoso nnlrousercdj blue nnd white undergarment floating to the breeze should have more appropriately named him Floating Shirttail darts into the center of Ins admiring breth ren , and tells that although in his first battle with the hated Sioux ho liad been unsuccessful , in the second fray ho had captured six scalpsand ono in the third , and , he perorates , "that is the reason these qu 11s are on my head , n mark of what I have done. " Another frenzied yell , in ad miration of his valorous deeds , nnd the dnnco ngaiii goes madly on. The tom-tom beats its loudest , the chant ing increases in volume , the move ments of the dancers become moro energetic , and , in a perfect pandemo nium of yells , thownr dance ot Ojib- bows comes to n sudden ond.
