Ktcctrlo lighting In Mexico.
A rogulnr correspondent. of the Bos
ton llornld sends that journal the fol
lowing from the City of Mexico ! The
uao of the electric light begun lioro n
short time back with the employment
Ol the Brush nro lamp f6r street Illumin
ation , the Introducers bolng the Gas
and Electric Light company , which ,
having its shareholders In England , il
luminates thls'high perched city with a
gas made of rosin from the mountains ,
brought In by wild looking Indians , so
ticnr is the connection of civilization
and barbarism hereabouts. From the
nro light to the incandescent was n nat
ural stop forward and now wo have those
systems engaged in strenuous competi
tion. The Swan , Thomson-Houston ,
Edison , Crompton and Fort Wayne Jon-
noy. Of late there has boon much
competition among shopkeepers in se
curing the incandescent light for their
show windows and the Edison and Swan
may bo soon so used. The Gas and
Electric Light company are the con
trollers of the Swan patent , the Thom
son-Houston is in elmrgo of a Mexican
commercial house Importing American
machinery , the Edison is handled by n.
Mexican firm , the Crompton by an En
glish machinery and contract house ,
mid the Fort Wnyuo Sonnoy by an
American houso.
The electric lighting fever is spread
ing to other cities In the republic , and.
the rivalry of the competing firms in
sures to dwollora in the interior cities a
prompt supply of information regarding
the merits of electric lighting. In the
postolflco and other public places I have
of late noticed the Edison lamps and
tiboy give much satisfaction. The Gas
and Electric Light company is putting
in the Swan , with the guarantee that
the monthly bills of its customers shall
not exceed their gas bills. I might re
mark , in passing , that gas is served hero
tit the rate of $7 in silver , or about $5.25
in gold , per thousand feet. This fact
ought to stop the grumbling of the good
Bostonoso wlion their bills come In , and
I may also say that the Mexican motor
is just aa industrious , just us un
flinching in the discharge ot its duty
to the gosOcompauy as is the Boston
Dieter.
The cost of incandescent lighting may
to imagined whan itis _ said that coal
costs $20 a ton silver , or 816 gold , and
wood 812 per cord , or $9 gold. In fact ,
electric lighting Is very costly , but the
Mexican , who. when they want a good
thing , are willing to pay for it , no matter -
tor what the bill is , are taking to
uloctricity in a most Surprising
manner. I will confess that a
year ago I wrote that incan-
candosccut limiting would not bo suc-
COB&tul hero on account of the necessar
ily extravagant cost. I was wrong , and
- make haste to acknowledge myself a
falsa prophet.
v"Al this altitude , " as wo begin to re
mark when commenting on the eccen
tricities of American envoys at this altitude - *
titudo , lot mo say , the electric light is a
perfect illumSimnt. It sends its rays
through this clear mountain air a good
deal farther than is the case in Boston ,
or , for that matter , at Vera Cruz down
on the sea lovol. It is a project of the
dyuntainionto , or city government , to
introduce , by and by , the tower system
for lighting Mexico , and it ought to bo
u success , the city being level and the
atmosphere perfect. But , just now , the
city fathers nro paying 8-100,000 per an
num on the drainage of the Valley en
terprise , tina" , as the City of Mexico docs
Iiot go into debt clearing up its bills at
the end of each year there is no dispo
sition to go into unjustifiable extrava
gances. Already the are lights on the
principal streets have made the city
safer , and have added to the public con
venience. And it may bo said that the
incandescent light has come to stay.
Another sign of modern Mexican pro
gress. _
Electricity as n I'rinio Blovcr.
In an admirable popular article on
"tho electric motor and Its applications ,
which appears in Scribnor's Magazine
of this month , Mr. F. L. Pope rightly
draws attention to the ignorance which
prevails in the popular mind in refer
ence to the trqh place of the electric
motor. Thus ho shows that the idea
that the electric motor will bo employed
to propel vessels across the Atlantic and
perform other work of n similar kind is
not ha&dd on Bound scientific principles.
Ho says truly that electricity in its ap
plication to machinery is never in itself
a source of power , but is merely a con
venient and easily managed form of
energy. But ho goes further , and re
marks that the olcctriu motor is at best
only a secondary motor which must de
rive its power from some other primary
motor , as the steam engine , the turbine ,
etc. Tills , however , scorns to ua to bo
Bomowhat misleading. While in the
prcbont state of the industrial applica
tion ot the olcctsio motor this scorns
true , it would have boon well to have
uddoU a clause to the effect that
the present rapid strides in L
thermo-electricity may at an i
early date put the electric motor
on the sumo footing nsthq steam engine
when viewed in that light. But , on the
other hand , the olootrio motor must in
its way bo admitted to bo as much n
pri mo mover ua tha steam engine , the
, . water wheel or the gaa onglno , nil ol
which tire considered by competent
authorities to rome under the cntcgorv
of "primo movers ; " that is , irmohinor.v
for converting any of the natural
fbrcos into mechanical work. The
right of a place for the electric motoi
among the prime movers can have nc
higher acknowledgment than that ol
the celebrated Hankino , who , in hi1.
book , entitled "Tho Steam Engine"
Intt which is , in reality , a treatise or
prii.io movers treats successively o
the water wheel , the steam engine , the
hot air and gas ongin6 , and finally o
the electric motor. Hence , while il
must be admitted that the heat gener
ated by jtho combustion of coju wil
probably continue to bo the prime powoi
employed , the position of the olcctri i
motpr with respect to the direct utiliza
tion of that power may bo changed al
no distant date. And , besides , the oloc
trio battery is to-day , and has for a lon {
time boon , the source of energy for tin
electric motor as a prime mover ii
'every EOUBO of the phruso.
I'm Mention.
The Metropolitan board of works , o
Londoa , has consented to allow an ex
poriuiont to bo made on n largo ECU !
with the process of sewage purlficatioi
by electricity lately invented by Mr
Webster , * ayj a correspondent of tin
Electric World. It is much to bo hopd
lhat the results will bo of jo , succossh )
character , and If eo , it-would appear to
open up n field for the application of
electrical engineering to which it
would bo difficult 16 assign a limit. The
question of Iho disposal of eowngo has ,
since the passing of an act of parlimont
forbidding the pollution of rivers , be
come a very pressing ono in this coun
try , and many towns have gone to
enormous expense In this , matter , while
the results attained are often by no
means satisfactory.
A great deal of interest has been
aroused bv the publication of Prof. Elihu
Thomson's ' method of rendering visible
the phases.of an alternating current.
The irfothod is unquestionably an ex
tremely beautiful and Ingenious one ,
and scorns likely to lead to important
results. It is possible , however , that
the details * of the arrangement are susceptible -
coptiblo ot improvement by doing away
with the lovers altogether nrid adopting
a device similar to that of Llssajous in
his well known method of combining
the vibrations of tuning forks. The
question of recording the shape of alter
nating current waves had already mot
with some attention in this country , and
Mr. Swinburne has n device , which is
not yet ready for publication , in which
the dynamo is made to draw its own
current waves upon a strip of paper In a
permanent form.
Electric Safety Immps.
Electrical World : Moro than two
thousand electric lamps are now in use
in the coal mines ol England and we are
told that minors are in favor of the
change , as they benefit considerably by
the increased illumination. It is many
years ago. says Industries , that it was
suggcatosted that our coal mines bo lit
by electricity , but the use of portable
lamps for this purpose has only recently
boon Introduced. Wo hope that many
companies will sco the advantage of
this method of illumination over the
older and more cumbrous forms of safely
lamp , And that an extended Use of olcc-
Jiricity in our coal mines may bo a means
of diminishing explosions. There is a
disadvantage attending the use of in
candescent lamps in mines , inasmuch
as they offer no indications of the pres
ence bf' fire damp' . It has boon found ,
however , by Mr. Livolng , that a rod-
hot platinum wire glows more brightly
in air contaminated with fire
damp than in pure air.
and this fact has been recently
utilized BO its to afford a convenient in
dicator for the presence of fire damp in
mines. As the wire 'can be heated by
the current from tho.samo accumulator
as supplies Iho lamp , no additional en
ergy.or expense is incurred , and wo
learn from experiments with this ap
paratus , much bettor and more reliable
indications are afforded of'tho presence
of an explosive mixture than when a
Davy safety lamp is the Onlyguide em
ployed.
A O.anliio Compliment.
"Perhaps the greatest compliment
over received by any electric light com
pany is that nightly tendered , to the
Thomson-Houston plant by a yellow
dog , " writes a correspondent from
Canon City , Col. "Regularly taking
his position under the "bright rays of
ono of our street lamps'ho proceeds to
stretched himself out with all the dp-
light that a dog exhibits in basking in
the sun. It is amusinp to see himuron
being disturbed , seek the opposite side
of the street , look up at the lamp as if
Calculating the brightest spot , then relapse -
lapse into slumber , as though ho were
actually sunning himself.
England and ttjo Channel Cables.
The negotiations between the French
and England governments for the joint
working of the submarine cables across
the English channel have progressed so
far that no doubt whatever is now en
tertained but that a satisfactory work
ing arrangement will bo arrived at.
The French government are so far com
mitted to the proposals of the English
government , that they distinctly de
cline to consider the question of any
prolongation of the concession to the
Submarine Telegraph company. The
English government have been equally
firm , the final resolution of the cabinet
just communicated to the Submarine
company setting iorth that having
thoroughly examined the question ,
they have "decided not to grant a pro
longation of the company's license to
land cables on British shores , and not
to renew after January 12 , 1880 , the
working agreement between the post
master-general and the Submarine com
pany. " The communication really con
cludes the matter so far as the company
is concerned , as if they cannot "land
cables on British shores" it puts an end
to their business. The only hope of the
company lay in their being able to pur-
suado the French government to thwart
the scheme of the British postolllco.
So far as cables nro concerned , the
four which connect with Franco are in
good order , recent repairs having made
thorn almost as good as now. The two
singld cables to Franco now used by the
American telegraph companies are also
working very well. The two Belgian
cables are in a fair condition , and pos
sibly , taking all those facts into consid
eration , the Britibh treasury may make
a mooo generous offer to the company
than would olhcrwibo have been the
case.
Eleotrlo Railway In Richmond.
Now York Post : The Sprague elec
tric railway was put in successful opera
tion at Richmond , Va. , recently. Thia
road , which is nn entirely now ono , has
boon'built by a Now York syndicate ,
and is remarkable not only for the ex
tremely difllCult conditions mot with ,
but as being the most oxtorisivonppllca-
tion of electricity to street railway pro-
puldlon in existence.
The total trackage of the Rlohmpnd
street railway js about twelve and a
half miles. It runs n , very Irregular
course , and reaches the principal parts
of the city. About nine miles of street
are embraced in it. The central sec
tion is double track for a distance ol
something over two miles , a part bolng
lajd on paved streets and thq balance
on macadam or unpaved strqots , while
all the extension and branch lines arc
on unpaved streets , many of them in
clay sail , where it would bo almost an
impossibility to operate horses. The
double-truck section partly encircle !
the old state capital and presents great
dltllcultios. This part of the line , in t
distance of loss than 1,000feothas on boll :
onst.and west-bound tracksfour curves
the Inner rails of the , west-bound tracli
being about 27 , 80 , 40nnd 80-foot radius
The power necessary to turn these shari
curves with a track of standard gauge
and with a wheel basis of six feet , ii
much increased by the fact that grades
are encountered on the curves as higl :
as 7 per cent , and the lay of the streo
has required seine of the outer rails ti
bo Bomo inches below the inner ono.

Electricity lit WnMilneton ,
Washington Corrospondeneo" Pitts-
burg Press : Many of the members in
the house afflicted with rheumatism go
down to the onglno room of the house
and have "Pap" Talcott , the electrician
give thorn a dose of electricity from his
uynatno. John Clark , the clerk of the
houso. and S. B. Cunningham , the dis
bursing clerk nro regular patients of
the electrical room and go down dally
to bo treated.
The electrical arrangements for the
capitol nro more elaborate than Is gen
erally supposed. The 1,500 five foot gas
humors by which the house is lighted
mid the 100 or more jots In the rotunda
nro all ignited by electricity. In addi
tion to this there nro numerous callbolls
from the hall to the speaker's rooms
and these ot the chief stenographer
and , journal clerk , which are run. by , the
same dynamo.
Mr. Talcott and his assistant , J. A.
Woodworth , has dlscrotioii rristo ? wlrtjn
the gas shall bo turned on in thejaouso.
The speaker , however , sometimes calls
upon them to light up when ho thinks
it necessary and within n couple of min
utes after no has sent the word a blaze
of light shoots across and around the
glass roof and the dim light ' cbnllng
from the sky is changed to that ot the
brilliancy of gas.
The electrical dynamo- located in
the basement , where rest the immense
engines which run the great * fans sup
plying the house with heated air , or
cold , as the case may bo.
In the engineer's room , presided over
by Mr. Lannan , are located indicators
by which the revolutions of each fan
are denoted , and the number of cubic
foot of air breathed into the hall above
registered. There is also upon the wall
a thermostat which exhibits tho. exact
temperature in the house and enables
the chief engineer to regulate his air
heating apparatus accordingly.
It is aimed to keep the temperature of
the house at a uniform point of from GO
to 71 degrees.
A very good illustration was given
your correspondent of the difference of
temperature of air in motion and that
rest. In ono of the halls through which
the air passes to the fan by which it is
sent above , the atmosphere was quito
close and warm , it being 75 degrees , as
registered by a thermometer. Going
near the fan when the air was agitated
and a violent draught created , it was
cold as Greenland , so to speak , and the
reporter , drawing his overcoat close
about him , looked at another thci'mom-
olor , expecting to sco it register about
20 degrees. ' Ho was surprised , h'ow-
ever , to find the bamo figures on that ,
viz. , 75 degrees.
The impure air is exhausted from 'the '
top of the hall by the same method as
that by which fresh air is supplied -by
fans , different , however , in their'slmpo ,
so as to create suction. v-

Electricity is now being used in Paris
to enable persons of wealth at select
dinner parties to do without the waiter

The Gorman crown prince's pad ill

apparatus has boon recently invented
for examining the throat and .larynx ,
which was tested with groat-success in
the last medical congress. It enables
the throat and surrounding organs to bo
examined by electric light , which is di
rected through the patient's mouth.
The inventor is a well-known Vienna
manufacturer of medical instruments.
Aluminium is ono of the most difficult

A petition from the Now York & ; Har

sented to the board of alderman , asking
permission to substitute electric power
for horses on the company's lino. Thia
is the Fourth avenue lino. The com
pany was prohibited by its charter frgjn
using horse power south of Fourteenth
street. The petition recites that a car

every test which could bo devised for
the purpose of dotcrming its utility ,
The cqicpany is satisfied that electric
power can bo introduced successfully
and with safety and cothfort to the in
habitants of the city. WTho system pro-

A correspondent in Power quotes Mr.
C. J. H. Woodbury asjjfeUows : "Several
years ago. I called tlj i attention of a
prominent olcclrioian.g ngagod on the
question of the olcctrjp transmission of
power , to the importa , .purposes oloc-
trio motors could servo In operating
salico printing machines , where it is
necessary that each njnchino shall bo
driven at periods and rates entirely In
dependent of its neighbors and based
solely upqn the conditions of the fabric
and pattern. This work is now done by
independent steam engines , which take
up valuable space and render the room
so hot as to interfere , I boliovowith the
best work of the men. It is hero that
there is an opportunity for electric
motors osnoclally designed for such purposes - -
poses , and there have boon recent ac
counts in the foreign electrical papers
of motors designed and applied in this
specific manner In England. "
A bill has boon introduced into the
Now York legislature regulating the
business of telegraphic companies. It
requires messages to bo written out in
duplicate , the duplicate to bo used for
transmission , and the original to bo re
turned to tlio Bender. A company Is
made liable for mistakes in transmit
ting. In case a message is sent "col
lect , " if it is not paid for nt the other
end , or if the person to whom it is sent
cannot bo found , the sonaor is made
liable for the charge ; if ho refuses to
pay ho is made liable for five times the
original charge , together witK the costs
of collection. Another provision abolishes
ishes the extra charge for insuring the
correct delivery of a message. The
company is made liable for delivery ,
of a message. The company is made
liable for delivery , and if no operator
is at an office when n customer calls to
send a message , the company is made
liable for all damages on account of the
delay. . Offices are required to bo open
from 8 a. in. to 8 p. iru
Muoh chagrin is foltby the submarine
cable companies over the failure of con
gress to comply with its agreement , and
enact certain laws for the bettor pro
tection of ocean cables. On May 18
next the terms of nn international con-
vontiontogothorwith , the proclamation ,
are to bo made known in Paris , and it
is expected that all maritime nations
will bo represented in the provisions.
Franco , England are the nations chiefly
interested , four of the great cables
joining the eastern to the western hem
isphere namely , the Gould and
Mackay-Bennott cable being owned by
American citizens. This government
was expected to adopt certain regula
tions and rules , as well as penalties ,
prescribed by the convention , and thus
secure the fullest lilaod of protection
for the arteries of international tele
graphic communication , and it is feared
that the failure of congress to act will
result in excluding this government
from the desired protection.
