Electrical World : From the large num ber of applications which have been made for space at the coming electrical exhibition of the American Institute , to be opened on September 23 , it is evident that the display will be a most Interest ing and varied one. The exhibition will bo specially strong in its showing of the possibilities of the electric motor and Its applications , all the prominent companies engaged In this work have applied for largo spaco. An extensive scope of work will bo brpu lit to notice , ono company going oven so far as to undertake the manufacture of its machines on the premises. Another motor company will show a p.ew method of operating elevators di- Victly by an electric motor without in- . .rmittant gearing. Such an elevator ( rill bo in operation in 'the building. A small cloctiric railway will also bo oper ated in the building and a fully equipped electric street car will be shown by one of the motor companies. vVhat will undoubtedly attract a largo share of attention in this department will bo the new pyromagnetic motor of Mr. Kdi.son , which it is proposed to fin ish in time for thn exhibition. In. the department of electric lighting several Incandescent mid arc systems will bo shown , among them ono of low- resistance incandescent lamps In scries. Electricity to Run Sew I UK Machines. It was to avoid the necessity of belting and ai the same time to do away with the presence of an auxiliary machine on the board for driving , that Mr. Philip Diclil , of .Elizabeth , N. J. , conceived the idea of combining the motor and sowing .machine into a practical 111411 , The , motor is completely housed within the lly-wheol of the machine and connected .directly with the driving shaft , so that nil gearing is obviated. Thn magnet , which consists of a single piece , is wound with wire , connected to 'two terminal brushes. This magnet is permanently fixed to the hub through which the shaft passes. The armature Is of the Gramme type , and in held in position with the rim of the wheel. The wires leading from the periphery connect to the com mutator at the hub , and the brushes on the magnets bear against the segment. The wires leading to the motor pass up through the hollow casting of the frame , and are connected to n switch by which the machine can be started and stopped nt will. The lly-whecl is provided with a clutch or stop motion in connection with the shaft , so that it may bo connected with the latter , or turned loose , as is common in sewing machines the wheel being disconnected from the shaft when winding bobbins. This is accomplished by the turn of n thumb-nut at the rear end of the machine. * N w Watchman' * Register. Electric World : A now watchman's register has been designed by Mr. W. L. Bundy and manufactured by the Auburn Electric Clock company , of Auburn , N. Y. In order to reduce" the number of parts nnd bring them to the simplest form the apparatus is so arranged thnt 'nil'the stations are operated by n single sot of magnets placed within the register. The watchman in making his rounds scuds in a registering signal by inserting n peculiar shaped key in 'tho station box nnct turning it therein. As the key is turned in the station box , the visit is in stantaneously recorded on a paper dial inside the register case , either by punching - ing the paper , or by printing the number in plain typo upon the face of the same , the tiniti that the key is turned in the station box being also plainly Indicated on the dial. In order to control the watchman while on duty , n superintendent's alarm is in cluded in the register. This is so arranged that if the watchman does not register his visit at each station in proper time his absence is signaled at the house of thn superintendent. The alarm also gives warning in case the watch man should be disabled from duty ns in tile cose of interference from burglars. In order to prevent the watchman from tampering with the register , it is further arranged thnt the opening of the door outs a little notch in the edge of the dial and thus indicates the time at which the door was oponod. An important addition to the system is the lire alarm attachment. This can bo operated olthor by the watchman on his rounds , or the alarm can bo sent in auto matically by moans of thermostats. There is thus provided in the system complete prptection. The paper dial in the register can bo removed each day and tiled awny for reference. A Primary Carbon Battery. The high cost of the zlno consumed in the primary battery has always stood in the way of its uioro general adoption as a source of electricity , and hence it 11.13 boon the endeavor of many to lind a sub- I ) utituto loss costly. Carbon in its different I' forms evidently presents a number of nd- i vantages , principal among which is its | cheapness. Electric ciirrenU has been E produced by the union of carbon and I oxygen in the past , but tho. method em- | < v ployed have required a high tempera- I' ' turo nnd hence entailed considerable I' loss of energy in the form of heal. L It is to avoid this that Mr. Willnrd E. I ! Chase , of Auburn. N. Y. , has devised a II form of cell in which the oxidation of 1 carbon is atl'cctod without the npplica- IL tisn of heat In the usual style -of bat- IT tcry , carbon constitutes the in soluble or I negative electrode , but in the now cell IK carbon is the positive or soluble elco- i. trodo. | Ouo form of the cell consists of a glass I Jar containing a porous cup , in which is l | - placed a conducting body ot hard car- i' bousuch ns coko. The negative oloctroda i a n sheet of platinum. I * In the porous cup is placed u quantity | - of carbon in comminuted form , pruvi- I * ously moistened with sulphuric acid. In K the outer vessel is placed sulphuric acid. i A cell thus arranged will g.ivo substan- i tinlly no current , inasmuch ns both elo- i , innnts resist the action of the acid. To E the acid , however , chlorate of potash is i's gradually added in small quantities. The | . result of.the reaction of the sulphuric | ; fi noid and chlorate of potash is the forma- if tion ( among other things ) of peroxide ol Ii * chlorine clo3 , which is n yellowish-red I ; gas , nnd which permeates the liquid , I , gradually turning it to n rod color. For I practical purposes it Is sulliclout to cense I milling chlorate of potash when the ixc'ul i ; . turns a distinct rod. A reaction between the carbon nnd the poroxldo of chlorine will , however , begin ns soon as the peroxide pcrmnatos the porous cell anil roaches the carbon , and if the addition ol chlorate bo suspended , this reaction will continue until the ucid loses its rod hue , when probably the chemical atUnltics bo twcou the peroxide present and the car bon nro siUisliod. More chlorate niaj then bo added , Tlio Radlo-Mlnromotrr. l.oisuro Hour : The most sensitive in- itruniontyot rondo f or measuring degrees of heat lias recently boon exhibited nt f loireo of tha lioynl society by Mr. C. V Boys , who calls it the "radia-mlcro meter. " As may be imagined , It Is ah niprovement upon the thermo-electrlo illo , an instrument which , measuring ndiant heat of the moon. Uy employing ho thcrnio-cloutric nllo in connection with galvanometer , Mellonl was able to uuasure radiant heat to the 1-5000 of nn neh. But the radia-niicfometer Is about one htin'drcd times more sensitive than ho thero-clcctric nilc. The most minute ncruinonts of radiant heat are instantly letccted by it. Mr. Boys Is able to pro- luce a visible effect of heat on a half > enny hold at a distance of more than 1.1CO feet from nn ordinary candle frame. 1'rof. Danglcy's "bolometer" had already surpassed the thormo-pilo and galvano- netor ns a delicate means of detecting ic'at-rndiation. but the radia-micromotor , says the inventor , has about one hundred lines the sensitiveness of the bolometer. The one hundreth millionth of a degree of heat Is within the rftnirc of its powers of detection. The electric apparatus con sists of n movable circuit of copper , uiiti- nony , nnd bismuth , hung by u quartz ibro in u strong magnetic field. Interesting Electrical Experiment. Arkansas Traveler : At thn Koyal in stitution , London , Mr. Wimhurst has exhibited an exceedingly interesting ex periment , in which small type , plnped on i disk revolving several thousand times n minute , was distinctly seen and read while in motion. Tills was accomplished jy means ot an electrical arrangement , which caused brilliant sparks to illumi nate the print at the exact instant only when the typo was vertical. Hut for the buzzing produced by the great velocity of the disk the words would have been supposed to bo at rest. This beautiful tpplication of the electric spnrk. gives a ready means of observing any and all changes which may take place in cither natter or'machinery in rapid motion. Ijnnc Distance LilKhtliiK * Electrical World : Last week the towns of Fishkill and Matteawan , on the Hud son , were lighted for the lirst time by the lleislcr long distance system. The com- j'med circuits are over 18 miles in length , .lie distance to the farthest lamp being four miles from the station. A single dynamo capable of maintanin ! < : 100 thirty c. p. lamps is driven by water-power at j'20 revolutions , candle power. lf the amps in use there are 44 of 30 candle lower , 138 of 20 candle power , and 1 of 45 candle power , making id alll83lamps. The lamps nro all in series , and require n current of about 5 amperes. The circuit consists ot a Ne. 8 15. & S. wire. The Tldo With the Electrician. Electric World : As our towns and cities advance in their ideas of urban sanitation , comfort and conveniencethey strive to supplant the horse railroad by some bettor agency , and the superiority > f electricity is more and more manifest- ng itself and being acknowledged for tills class of work. We nro not at all surprised to find the Business Men's issociation nt Buffalo resolving in public meeting against horse power , and ex- ircssing pleasure at the announcement ) f nn intention to adopt other methods. This is but another indication that the .ido is with the electrician , and that though the general adoption of electric notors for street railways may seem slow , it is nevertheless sure. And , after all , is the work slow ? Wo do not know of any other department of electricity .hat is brisker. A TeleRraphic Cipherer A dapper young fellow , wearing fash- onably good clothes , and lounging idly about the Long Branch hotels during .ho forenoons and evenings , in never seen at the shore afternoons. Ho is then at the races , and has curious employ ment there , tour times in as many years tiavo the pool sellers and bookmakers of Now York city been swindled by false reports of the races. Shrewd rascals liavo tapped their private wires , for warded wrong names , and so led them to pay heavily on tickets previously bought by confederates. This year the turf 5ambles have joined in self-defense , 'ho ' young man is employed to telegraph in ciph'jr , independent of all other re ports , the names of the winning and placed horses in every race. Until his secret dispatch is received no money is paid on tickets in any New York pool room. Ho wns chosen for the service very carefully , nnd is paid n good salary , for it is in his power to mislead his joint employers ruinously ; and to further guard against his falsity ho nnd his friends deposited $5,000 with a com mittee , the money to be forfeited in case ho plays a trick. Opportunity for Motors. Wherever power is wanted in the vicinity of an electric light or power station , there is a chance for the motor , and although in a few localities water power reigns supreme because it is cheap , yet. taking the country the pop ulous centers as a whole , the electric motor leads to-day as the machine for furnishing power to the best advantage to all but the largest consumers of it. Freaks of the Lilahtnlne. Ono stroke of lightning killed the five horses of Peter Goodhuo , of Madison Prairie , Dak. , and ruined his barn. Lightning struck a ilock of sheep bo- longinirto W. A.

Then it jumped twenty foot to a barbed wire fence , outline out the posts and ruinihg the fence for a hundred yards. W. II. Barnes , of Taylor , Ga. , had jus ) driven under an oak and was dismount ing when ho was knocked senseless b > lightning. When ho recovered conscious' ness the mule ho had driven was dead and the oak was in a blaze. Oscar Brown , of Fergus Falls , Minn. , sat in his house with his wife and chil dren while lightning knocked the plaster from the walls , burned all the picture frames , set tire to the doors , and raised hob generallyyet none of the family was injured. Two men in the section hoiisa of Daw son , ( ia. , occupied n bed , the headboard of which was cut into kindling wood bj lightning. Other furniture of the roon was also knocked into fragments , nnd dishes were hurled in every direction , yet neither man was even stunned. \Vhil6 Doyle Brown , of Talking Rock , Ga. , was shoveling up chips , ligntuing htrucK the handle of the shovel and split it in two. The bolt then divided and rar through both of Brown's hands ant arms and passed out at the back of hi : 'neck , killing him. An old man twenty feet away was knocked senseless. Electrical llrevltlrs.

" A Boston laay attended a funeral In a country church a short time ago , and after the sinking of a hymn , which was striking , melodious and appropriate , a rustic male friend who was seated beside her remarked with an air of intense local pride : "Beauti ful hymn , Isn't it ?

For these who like to ruul of love anil marrliiKo , tins from the London Ha'.urdsiy Hcviow may provo interesting : This is the pivot on which their whole lives turn as .young Indies "out" must revolve. Marry they must and as well as possible , for not to marry means un un comfortable old : i o. As daughters of rich parents tlio.y have been uccusiomctt to every luxury , including largo house holds , plenty of horses and carriages , accompanied by every form of amuse ment that money can purchase. If they fail in their object of marrying , when in due course of time their parents die , they are left with but very moderate incomes , without a single habit of thrift , and with most extravagant tastes. They gut em bittered and soured when they find that many of their so-called friends , who were ready to bo on most excellent terms with them while tlio.y could enjoy the hos pitality extended to them at the open house of their parents , now treat them with considerable ) less cordiality ; for the friendship and affection of many , though by no means all , may bo gauged by the amount of quid pro quo they may re ceive. There is also another strong reason why girls are anxious to marry namely , the tlesiro to have an establishment of their own and to bo free from the restraint of their homes , more especially in cases where there is not much love lost between mother and daughters. All these things combine to impress on young ladies in society that the onp tilm and object of their lives is to make good marnugcs.and the lesson that any tsentimental ideas about affection ani } liqart must bo ban ished is thoroughly'inoulcatcd ' into their minds. Anything in the sluipc of poverty must bo avoided like ft plague ; better in their minds to have the ) good things of the world than love and narrowed circum stances combined. ' Few of them really consider what a miserable future they , , are laying up for themselves. Yetif , thpy cannot recipro cate it , it is as certain , as death that the affection of their husbands will wane and disappear , and a loveless old ago is one of the most inisernhlo'prospopts ' a woman can have before her , even if it is not em bittered by constant bickerings and quarrels ; while in thqir youth they may bo tempted to look elsewhere for that af fection that they have failed to bring to and receive in their own homes. It is a frightful ordeal for those who have a high sense of honor and duty to have to spend their lives with men with whom they have no tastes in common , and for whom they can feel no love or sympathy , and it is highly credible to botli parties if under these circumstances homo life is not a misery and both do not succumb to the temptation of going their own way. Unfortunate Heiiwa nnd Coachman. Springfield Republican : Another mar riage of an heiress to a coachman has re sulted unhappily for all concerned. A year or two ago Miss Josie Barnard , of Fall River , Mass. , an heiress to thou sands , astonished the public by marry ing her grandmother's coachman , Phillip Scully. The marriage was kept quiet for a time , but when it leaked out Phillip and his fair young bride did not wait for an interview with the grandmother , but fled in a hurry to Providence. The husband did not find it easy to obtain employment " in that city , and their slender "stock of money was rapidly diminishing when a removal was made to Pawtuokot. They had on their arrival two trunks and seventy-cents in cash. With this sum they secured lodging at the Harris house. Heing without money Mrs. Scully was obliged to appeal to Secretary Smith , of the overseers of the poor , for a ticket homo. The ticket was purchased for Mrs. Scully , who bade her husband a tearful adieu previous to taking the train for Lowell. Her last words to him beloro taking the train worn that she would en deavor to reconcile her relatives to their marriage.

ATLANTA , Ga-Augpst 25. Daniel Mil ler was arrested hero yesterday by Shonfl WatersOof Cookb county , Tenn. , for horse stealing. The case illustrates a woman's infatuation of an unworthy ob ject. Near Newport , Cooke county , Tenn. , theroMivcd Mrs. Martha Waters , a handsome widow of four children , a home and $3,030 in bank. Near by lived Dan Miller , a good-looking young man , aged twenty-two. Miller fell in love with the widow , or rather her money , and she was not unwilling to have a young cavalier for a husband , The con- plo were married and the bridegroom at once persuaded his wife to sell out her property and go west. The homestead was disposed of , and witli the proceeds , the I'J.OOO which had been in the bank , and four horses and a wagon , the young man , with his old but still bloomini : bride and four children , started towards Chattanooga. When thirty .miles from Newport Miller stopped 'his wagon , and picking up hia wife and four children , throw thorn out into the road , exclaim- ins : 'Now , go back homo , all of you , nnd bo sure you got there qulcki" "Miller drove away rapidly , IdJlV.'iut his wife nnd stepchildren to got back homo as best they could. After ten days of tramping they reached Newport. Shoritr Waters sent two deputiesThomas nnd Kcdwlno , to Clmttannoga to look for Miller. They found him and put him under arrest.

Miller then came direct to Atlanta , where iio wns arrested on n description wired by the chief of of police of Chattnnoosa. While talk ing to a reporter about his arrest , Miller said : "I don't mind going to jail , but I hate awfully to meet my wife. You see , she loved mo n heap , and trusted mo n great deal , and I just treated her like n dog. I hope Hint ' they won't lot her como to the jail. " A K/nnl8M Marriage Djr Proxy.

It ap pears that when ho left the picturesque town of Corunna some years ago ho left his heart in the keeping of Rosa Marcot Erandiz , of the same town , promising that ho would either return in person to claim her as his bride or marry her by ' proxy nnd have her transported acros's the Atlantic. Judge Spunn made out the necessary papers upon the joung Span iard's application and they will bo for warded to Corunna , Spain , where the marriage will bo performed , the party acting as proxy having been already des ignated by the young Spaniard. After the marriage in this manner Kosa Marcot Ernndi/ will embark from Corunna for Galveston , where she will join her hus band. Seiior Henturo , when asked why ho could not instruct his betrothed to sail for ( lulveston and marry her upon her arrival nt this port , sjirugged his shoulders , saying witli a smile that such was the custom of his country , and that such an arrangement was far more satis factory than the ono suirgcsted by the re porter. Usually , he said , some personage - ago of good social standing and who was a friend of the bride and groom was se lected to act as thn proxy , and the party accepting such a duly considered it quite an honor. When handed the necessary papers by Justice Spann he wont away smiling in a very happy manner. COMNUlilALilTlES. Kov.

Brooks , of New Albany , Indiana , in a sh'oplne ear on the Santa Fn road near Wichita , Kan. , one day this week. The definition of "wedding" In'llio fashion vocabulary means a graml crisis of clothes ; "bride , " a peg on which finery of all kinds Is hung ; "bridegroom , " a sober , black object following the bride , of no account in particu lar , and yet without whom there would be no fuss , and the fun conld not BO on. Fully 5,000 , people wore assembled on the grounds of the Wisconsin Industrial associa tion last week to witness the marriage of Miss Marj Webb and J. Deresforth , of Antl- ocli , 111. The ceremony was performed by Justice Ileyer. The crowd applauded en thusiastically , nnd showed a disposition to kiss the bride , but she managed to avoid this part of the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Ueres- ford received enough household goods as wedding presents to famish their home. Mrs. Susan L. Cotter , of New York , sues to recover a check for 82,500 , which disap peared from the table soon after her mar riage.

At least three weddings will be the result of tills corre spondence , one being a handsome young merchant of Lexington , who opened corre spondence with a South Carolina belle. Worms That Hat Stocln Kails. Cologne Oaxetto : The existence has ju-st been discovered of a detestable microbe - crobo which feeds upon iron with as much gluttony as the phylloxera noon the vino. Some time ago the greatest consternation existed among the engi neers employed on the railway at Hagen by the accidents occurring always at the same place , proving that come terrible defect must exist either in the material or the construction of the rails. The Gorman government directed nn inquiry to bo made , and a commission ot sur- votlanco to bo formed for the purpose of maintaining constant watch ut the spot where the accidents ono of them attend ed with loss of life hi.tl occurred. It was not , however , until six months had elapsed that the surface of the rails ap peared to bo corroded , as if by acid , to the extent of 1QO yards. The rail was taken up and broken , and it was literally hollowed out by a thin gray worm , to which the qualification of "railovorous" was assigned , and by which name it is to lo' classed in natural history. The worm is said to bo two centimetres in length and of the si/.o of a prong of a silver fort in circumference. It is of a lightgray color , and on the head carries two lit'.lo glands tilled with a corrosive secretion which is ejected every ton min utes upon the iron. This liquid renders the iron soft nnd spongy , and of the color of rust , and it is then gradually dovowered by the insect. "Thoro is no exaggeration. " says the ollioial report of the commission , "in the assertion that this creature , for its kind , is ono of the most voracious for it has devoured thirty-six kilograms of rail in a fort night.

An umpire of the Northwestern league lay dying. It appears there was lack o tender usage , there was a dearth of friendly cheers , and a player stood beside him as his life's sands ebbed away , and bent with rapt attention to hear what ho migbt say. The "croaking1' umpire faltered as ho took the player's paw , and said : "Old boy , I'm going , you'll miss my tuneful jaw. Say to your brother players who were once dear ( ? ) friends of nunu. 'If they chock the man who runs thn game , expect they must pav a lino. ' Toll the pitcher of your base ball club ( I think his name is Mike ) that ho can't expect each ball that's pitched to bo declared a 'strike,1 nnd ho mustn't scowl and show his wrath or make display of gall , when the hired man behind the bat shouts forcibly , 'Ono ball ! ' And just whisper to your brother not to pause when ball is caught ; such breaks us that will change his diction not a jot. Besides - sides , " ho said ( his glossy eyes were wet with tears of brine ) , "they cannot grum ble if they get a reasonable line. Tell your 'coaoher , ' who at lirst or third is wont to tnko his place , not to open up his fusilado until a man's on base ; and , fur thermore , if captain , I would warn him to desist , for ho makes the people tired , and 'he never would bo missed. Toll the fellows that nn umpire's only human , after all.and they can't expect him not to err sometimes in games of ball , and the only way wo have to keep rccaloitran ts in line , is to sock it to 'cm gently with a 'tenner' for a line. Say to all the mem bers of your club whene'er disputes arise , that it hurts one's feelings to bo told di rect ho lies , and , also.to the fellows three who occupy the field , to hold thnir ground , because , be sure , the umpire will not yield. This wordy warfare only serves to cause delays in the game , lou may hound the umpire most to death , but he'll 'get there just the same , ' arid he'll make cold shivers 'chassez' up nnd down each kicker's spine , by passing round among you a souvenir in fine. Toll the monthly men , who make remarks while seated in the Btand.that their witticisms are chestnuts , andntno time In demand ; that umpires cannot always rule in favor of thotr team however strange or startling this asser tion may seem , and crries of 'Ratal' nnd 'Put 'em out' and 'Umpire , how is that ? ' disgust all lovers of the game arc silly , stale and flat. Such people should in dun geons bo , and there bo made repine , for an umpire cannot reach them witli his customary fine. I'm going now , old fel low ; I think 1'vo told you all the things that umpires most detest , while refereeing - ing ball , i'yo done my best to satisfy the patrons of the game , nnd if I erred in judgment , sure my heart was not to blame. I'vo only this request to nince when I am laid away , that you'll think of what I told you in the games you'll often play. Soon I'll quit this sphere of sorrow row for a land that's more divine , where the umpire ( rets a square shako , I'.od there's no more nced-for fine. " Turncil Over a Now I/eaf.
