An Electric IMnnt In
the Collar ,
New York Sun ,
'Tako this key , stop outside , and
when I hive extinguished the hall lamp
open the door , " Edwin H. Johnson , the
electrician and warm friend of Edison ,
laid to a rep Drier In the ball of 130 E
Thirty-sixth street ono evening. The
reporter stepped Into the vestibule ,
ahnttlng the front door Ho had barely
tlmo to observe that the terra cotta ol
the vcatlbnlo and the dooratlons of the
sUlned-glaso door wore brought out
most effectively by the light from two
oloatrlo lamps when ho noticed that the
hall lamp had boon extinguished. With
the key ho nnlocked the front door , and
as ho puihed It open the gas jot In com
bination with the electric lamp In the
hall was lighted.
"That's on arrangement I have for the
convenience ot any ono kept out late al
night , " Mr. Johnson said. "When the
aarvant extinguishes the light aho seta a
switch near the door. Whou the door
ia opened the lamp Is lighted automat
ically. It Is alao controlled by a pushbutton -
button In the second atory , BO that the
late comer , after mounding the stairs by
Itn light , oan extinguish It from above. "
The parlor was dark. Snndonly It was
brightly lighted. Mr. Johnson had
touched a push bottom on entering , and
thrown on the olcc'.rlo lights and gas jots
in the combination chandelier , which la
BO constructed that gas or oloctrlo lights
can bo need separately or together. The
design of the chsndlllor Is admirably
adapted to oloctrlo lighting. Its arms
represent atoms of pendent flowers. The
out glass pendant globes , dollcatoly
tinted with ruby , the color being applied
to the edges of the cut oornsiatlons only ,
ara the petals , and the bright oloctrlo
lamps the pistils. The chandelier In the
dining room , back of the parlor , Is of the
same design. It front of the g to was a
Jnpanoto screen.
"Look at the serene , " Mr. Johnson
slid , as ho stappod to the door from the
dining room Into the hall , "and I'll '
ahow you a pretty offoct. "
A mETTY EFTECT.
In an Instant tha room was dark. In
another the screen was a brilliant trans
parency. When the chandelier Umpa
wore again lighted the reporter found
that there wore two electric lamp ] in the
bottom of the grate , and that the light
from these , falling upon the screen , pro
duced the effect. In the winter they
Illuminate white plno shavings otoopod In
paraBtio oil , giving the effect ot a wood
firo. In the smoklngroom adjoining the
oleotrlo lamps wore completely enclosed
In pink globes ornamented with white
stars. Electric olgar-llghtors were han
dy. The rooms la the llrst story are now
lighted by chandeliers of oloctrio lamps
and combination electric and gas wall-
brackets , but Mr. Johnson intends short
ly to ( ntrodnco a substitute for the chan
delier and a novel method of Interior dec
oration. Chandeliers are regarded by
decorators as Interferences , because they
disturb the harmony of fraeoo designs.
Yet It haa been found difficult to dis
pense with them because so much of the
light from sldo brackets Is absorbed by
the dark tints in dark tints In decoration
that from 55 to 75 per cent more gas Is
burned than if the room were
lighted by a chandelier. Mr.
Johnson proposes to run a frlezo of bev
eled plate-glass minors around the room ,
and suspend , by silk cords , electric lamps
over the faces of the mirrors , which will
reflect the light to Its full value. Where
the chandelier now la , an ornamental
brass bowl , studded with glasa jewels ,
will be affixed to tha celling. Within
this howl will be electric lamps with re
flectors , which will render the rayu In-
vlalblo yet cause the glass jewels to glow
and diffuse a soft voluptuous light through
the room. In the billiard room , In the
basement , Is an arrangement for lighting
which meets the approval of all who play
ever the table. Instead of tbo ordinary
fixtures , which Interfere with the players' '
line of vision , and cause shadows , or ,
what are as disagreeable to players , con
centrated rays of light , electric lamps are
placed directly under Inverted dishes ap
plied closB to the celling over each cor
ner of the table. In addition , two oloc
trlo lamps arc pendent from ornamental
horns on the wall.
But besides the olcrlrlc lightning there
are BO many applications of electricity to
various apparatuses , designed to con
tribute to the comfort or diversion of the
inmates of the house , that the lightning
is only a tithe of the Interesting features
of the dwelling. Among the applications
is an automatic temperature regulator ,
which keeps the atmosphere at a pleas
ant temperature. Up atalro Is a thermos-
tal , consisting of a strip of two materials
having different degrees of expansion ,
laid ono upon the other. With a rleo of
temperature , for Instance , the resistance
of the material of loss expansion to that
of greater expansion muses the strip to
curve and on curving makes electric
connection. The wires run down to a
combination electro-magnet and clock
work apparatus In the cellar , whlsh , by
operating on a valve allows hot or cool
air to ascend to the rooms above.
FIRE ALARMS.
A fira alarm Is In oaoh room , It con-
slats of a mercurial thermosat , the mer
cury rising when the temperature roaches
113 % high ouough to make electric con
nection and start a loup alarm bell. The
burglar alarm la connected by special
circuit with every electric lamp and gas
jet In the house. The instant a housebreaker -
breaker forces a window or door ho will
be confronted by a blast ) of light , Until
recently the family was awakened in the
morning by a dram beaten by electricity
atzd controlled by a push-button In Mr.
Johnson's room. The contrivance has
been taken down for repairs. In various
parts of the house are contrivances
which resemble miniature windmills , the
arms bolnc ; about three Inches In length
Yet they revolve so swiftly that a breeze
lj created strong enough to make a per
son ton foot away feel cool. In the
nursery la an electric railroad for the
children , and from the nursery to the
basement runs a telegraph wire , at which
the children are learning telegraphy ,
From iho sitting-room the battery In the
cellar for an induction cell Is controlled
ao that tha fireworks exhibition * , with
Felslor tubes and llko contrivances , can

Theao applications of electricity make
Lho dwelling unique , and It Is probable
that Mr , Johnson a la the only private
IIOUSQ with an electric plant In Its collar. ,

CHEATING BEE 9.
How n. Sharp Apiarist Adulterates
Ills Swootu.
From the Detroit Free Press ,
A Wayne county farmer has succeeded
In earning a place In history along with
the Connecticut man who Invented
wooden nutmegs. Ho lives between De
troit and Doarbon , on Michigan avonuu ,
in the vino-covered cottage back a little
way from the road. On tbo front fence
appears the sign , "Whito clover honey. "
Back of the house is an apiary with all
the modorm Inventions for the care ol
boos , and nearly fifty hives sound with
the cheerful humming of the busy honey
makers.
A representative of the FreeFross ,
qnlto by accident , called ac the house
ycstorday and found no ono at homo , and
whllo sitting by an old well curb refresh
ing himself with cool water from an old
Dakon backet , his attention wai called to
the action of the booa. The cottage Is
surrounded with roses In full bloom , but
these bo ° s did not as baos used to do.
"Gather honey all the day
From every opening flower. "
but Instead were swarming around
largo tray which stood near by , and
were flying back and forth to the hives ,
[ a this tray was half an Inch of a sticky
mass that looked like syrup. Little sticks
were strewn la this substance , and on
these the bees were alighting , and , after
taking aomo , flow back to the hives.
"What do you want o' them bees ? "
The Intruder started up and found a
) arefooted lad standing before him.
"What are the bees taking ? " we asked.
"Wnat do you want to know for ? Did
said wo wasn't to toll anyone anything
about it. "
"I'll give you a quarter If you will , "
said the reporter , now thoroughly inter
oated.
"Well , I dunne what It is. Did gets
t from town In. a bar'l. Here's what ho
; ita it in , " pointing to a largo cask.
On the end of the barrel was the sten
cil mark : " 200 Ibs. grape sugar from
Ikllchiqan Grape Sugar manufactory.
"Is that glucoao that tha bees are
getting ? "
"It's something that dad gets out of
that bar'l that's all I know about it ? '
The inquiring visitor tasted It. There
was an uumiatakable gumdrop ilovor
to it.
"Wo had hard work to get the bees
used to it. Dad put In a lot of syrup
at first , but the bees take It straight
now. "
"How long does It take to fill a hive ? "
"Not near so long as it does whoa
hey have to got the honey from flowers.
We've taken out a lot this year already. "
The boy brought out of the honsa a
3or of glucose honey which looked as
iloar and Inviting as though the sweets
iad boon distilled from the purest flow
ers ,
"Dou yon eat It ? ' the bay was asked.
"Sometimes. It ain't so good as the
ithcr kind , but It's just as good to sell ,
3ay , don't you never glvo me away to
dad , or he'd skin mo. "
Poultry ,
The laying or egg-producing features
are Important In connection with the
selection of the most profitable kinds of
> oultry. The Loghorno , all colon , are
> y far the boat layers and head the Hat ,
having to the credit of each hen 200 eggs
ier year. The Domlnlquo Is also cred-
ted with 200 , and next on the list we find
ho Hamburgs , which , with extraordinary
care , will yield 180. The favorite Plymouth
lack hold the next place , furnishing 175.
The black coachlns , houdans , black Span-
ah , and Polish birds are nock and nock
n the race , each being credited with 170.
The common barn-yard fowls , BO many
of which are thrown on their own re
sources at a tender age and loft there ,
can bo rolled upon for 1GO , whllo the
inc , fat Brahmas and whlto cochlnn are
bo largest and heaviest birds , and fur
nish the largeat eggs ,
An experiment was lately made in
franco for the purpose of finding the
relative value of hens and ducks as egg
iroducera. Three of each sort were
lelectod for testing tbo result by obsorvi-
Ion as to their relative fertility. Be
tween tbo fi t day of January and the
end of August the tliroo hens laid 257
and the ducks 402 eggs. Moreover , in
, bo autumn months of the previous year
.ho dncka had yielded 215 eggs , while
.ho hens had completely ceased laying.
Altogether , therefore , the dncka had
produced 017 eggs within the twelve
nontho , as against 207 obt lined frum
; ho hens.
The Hondans are profitable chickens to
foop , as they arc continual layers , are
easily fattened , and tbo flesh is fine and
good. They are very hardy and usually
escape the cholera.
Eggs at 12 cents per dozan give tbj
same food value as loan beef or mutton
at 10 cents per pound. Eggs , therefore ,
ire economical food , and they are excel-
ent for the farmer's family.
It Is a good plan to kerosene the boxes
n which hens are to alt before putting In
bo hay or straw. Then alft flour of aul-
phur over the hay.

SIX MIIjMON MILES OF FENCE
CostlnR $2,000,000,000 A History o
Fence Bulhllnc.
An Augusta ( Mo. ) correspondent o
the Boston Herald writes that , according
to the beat estimates , there are 0,000,00
miles of farm fences ia the United Stater
costing ever $2,000,000,000. , In man ;
states the fences on n farm coat mop
than the buildings standing on It , am
that , too , where lumber Is abundant am
cheap. The amount of labor and monoj
consumed annually in building and repairing
pairing fences few are aware of It I
juit ao much taken from the productivi
Interests of the country. Botk law nnc
custom prcscrlbo fencing. It ii an ao.
ciont tradition. The Plymouth colonto
In Massachusetts gave us the first fences
known In this country in 1G32. They
were erected to protect planted crop
against damages from creatures going a1
largo. It waa said bcforo a mooting o"
the American Institute Farmers' club aNew
Now York , In 1859 , that the farmers In
this country were educated under the
system of fences ; under the notion tha
a man is bound to protect his property
by fencing out the world , that the law
has no power , and there is no general respect
spoct for the right of property , but thai
you must fence out all tntrndora , nnc
guard your property with walls aut
fences.
It is all founded on fiction. The law
does protect a man's property. His real
estate and its products are his , and
whether fenced or unfonood they Ho un
der the protection of the law. In con
tinuation of this matter the correspondent
dent says that most of our Now England
farms are Inclosed with fences straight ,
crooked and irregular good , bad and In
different , Moat farms are ao sub-divided
as to resemble a checker-board. Every
thing Booms to bo foncod. The fences
are almost as varied as they are abun
dant. The Virginia rail fence Is the plo
noer ; then the log fence , the atone wall ,
stump fence , pitch polo fence , worm
ieneo and the post and rail fonco. Not
loss than four feet In height constitutes
the lawful fonco. Stone wail IB the male
Eenco In Maine and Massachusetts , and
perhaps In Connecticut also. Malno
ilso has the rail and board f once , and the
bnah fence. Rail fences are the cheap
est. The roots and stumps of trees set
ip edgewise , make the moat eil'ootiro
fences. The atone trail would last for *
over , If It were well and carefully laid in
irst placa and the froit did not play hav
oc with it. As commonly built , the atone
wall will keep out all kinds of stock except
cept sheep. It IB Insisted that atones
could bo moro cheaply disposed of than
> y laying in wall form.
| \Good fences , says a Konnoboc farmer ,
aa reported , make good neighbors , yet ho
refuses for himself to believe In them.
There are over 64,000 farmers in Malno ,
10 said. Tholr farms have in the ag
gregate over 42,000,000 rods of fence , or
nore tnan 131,000 miles. Ornamental
'oncES , merely , are not Included In those ,
nor are upwards of 2,000 mllea of rail
road fencing. In the entire state there
are 11,000,000 rods of highway fences ,
10,000,000 rods of partition fences , and
seine 15,000,000 rods of division foncea.
At a coat of $1 a rod , which the speaker
considered a fair estimate , the total cost
of fences in Malno Is over $42,000,000
which is nearly as much as all the farms
and the buildings are worth. It is twice
and a half the value of live stock in the
state , and nearly as much aa the whole
state has Invested in manufactures.
Reckoning changes and repairs , loss from
roarly decay , the cost of breaking roads
hrouth ; snow-drifts caused by high
onccs , and the Interest on the first cost ,
axes , etc. , and ho estimated that the
ences coat the state annually not less
han $0,000,000 , which he sets down as
o much yearly loss in cash and labor to
ho farmers of Maine. It seems like a
useless expenditure.
Being asked what he would do , ho
aid that fences should bo confined ex
clusively to pasture ; the rest should ba
abolished Road fences only cause the
roads to drlfit In winter. Fencing the
moving field enables the farmer to feed
ils stock In it during the spring and fall-
Hia Idea la , that all the fencing a farm
honld have should bo simply to keep the
.nltnala where they ara placed. The
armors would rid themselves of a heavy
ax by doing away with their road fences ,
and where necessary , enforcing the law
respecting loaming cattle. The law does
not compel the farmers to fence the
oads , but their occupied and improved
ands only. The law respecting the lia
bility of owners of cattle IB vague and
obscure. Other Malno farmers would
abolish foncea altogether. It takes
8,000,000 rods of fences for the ( matures
alone , In which are kept 000,000 head of
neat stock. Whllo owners of adjoining
anda are required to maintain partition
onces , bearing the oxpentoa equally ,
hero IB no law obliging them to build
