On Bo-Called "Klcolrlolnns. "
It la really surprising how many so-
called "electricians" there nro now
adays. They exist everywhere , oven In
the backwoods. Any man who can wind
n bobbin , stnrt a voltaic collor hang an
electric bell , Is entitledIn his own esti
mation , to bo called an electrician. It
naturally follows , therefore , that as by
far the greater number of such people
nro more tinkers , the work which they
thrust upon the public is creditable
neither to themselves nor to the science
which they profess to-apo. Far bo It
from our intention to discourage nny
honorable endeavor to obtain a liveli
hood in the business of practical
electricity ; ' but It surely Is
not honorable for nny man to
undertake to do that for which ho
has had no peculiar training , or to as
sume to bo what ho Is not. Last year's
business directory of any section of
country gives the name and addresses
of scores "electricians" who nro now
"out of the business , " and for the
simple reason that they were
thoroughly irresponsible when they
hung out their shingles , and capable
only of contracting accounts which
will have to bo carried to "profit and
loss" on the books of reputable inanu-
faoturers. Now this method of doing
business is what may be termed electri
cal quackery. It is a duty on the part
of the honorable manufacturing firms of
this couiitry to root it out. There
should bo some sort of a combination to
maintain the dignity of the profession ,
.and to protect public interests.
Cloud Telegraphy.
Youth's Companion : A , remarkable
experiment in signalling with electric
lights wits recently mncio by the ofllcers
of two vessels of the British navy , the
Orion and the Espoir , off the port of
Singapore.
The Espoir had sailed from that port
for Kong Long , leaving the Orion in
the harbor of Singapore. When the
Espoir was sixty miles distant the
Orion sent her a mossabu by means of
electric light.
Rut can a licht bo seen sixty miles at
seaY Certainly not in its direct rays.
but the Orion throw a brilliant blaze of
light upon the clouds , and the rcllec-
tlon of this light was distinctly seen on
board the Espoir.
More than this , the Orion , having
thrown upon the clouds ti regular mes
sage by means of successive Hashes , this
message wus read and understood on
the board Espoir.
The question hns boon asked whether
by thisineansa Communication might not
be made of practical advantage. It
would depend , it is true , upon the con
dition of the atmosphere , and upon
cloudless nights there would bo nothing
to reflect from ; but it seems entirely
practicable to make the lipht of the
most important lighthouse visible much
farther at sea on cloudy nights by pro
viding them with an apparatus enabling
them to throw a series of rollections
upon the clouds.
Roynl Ideas on Electricity.
It is hardly to bo expected that any
one not making a study of the science
of electricity should have clear idcason
the Hubjeet ; but observers will have no
ticed that laymen , ns a rule , try to
explain and grasp the phenomena bv
analogies most familiar to them and
drawn directly from their daily occu-
pattons. This is well oxemplilied in
the ideas which the late emperor of
Germany had formed on tlio subject
of electricity. Being eminently a sol
dier , ho may be said to have regarded the
subject solely from the military stand
point , and in a recent eulogistic address
before the Berlin Elektrotechnischo
Voroin. Dr. von Stephan , Minister of
the Posts and Telegraphs , related sev
eral instances of the manner in which
ho attempted to convoy electrical con
ceptions to the mind of the Emperor
Thus on one occasion , the Em
peror asked how the term
"buttery" came to be ohoscn , which , by
the way , lie preferred to the wort !
"pile , " on account of the Inttcr's French
origin. The speaker sought to explain
the origin of the word by a method most
easily comprehended by the emperor ,
and referred to the anology of the mili
tary battery and the observed power of
the electric battery to deliver blows or
shocks under certain circumstances ,
whereupon the emperor suggested the
idea that in the future it might como to
pass that nations would carry on war
fare solely with machines wich would bo
driven up against one another , which
method would in the end prevent the
spilling of much blood. Naturally the
field and military telegraph aroused the
special interest of the cmuoror , and
when upon a certain occasion reference
was made to the great rapidity with
which ho had massed and mobilized his
troops during his later wars , ho observed -
served naively that the older great com
manders would have boon able to have
done the sumo thing if they had had
the telegraph at their command.
A Now Current Mi-tor.
Prof. R. Boornstein of Berlin , 1ms de
vised a current meter of novel construc
tion. Il consist * (1) ( ) of a dynamometer ,
whoso indications nro proportional to
the current inleiiblty ; (2) ( ) a plnnimotur
which integrates the dotloctions of the
dynamometer. The uxis of rotation of
the movable bobbin is placed at an
an anglo to the vertical , and the pro
portionality of the dollectlon is obtained
by a very ingenious device. A sector
! H ulllxod to the axis , and it is balanced
by a small weight attached to iv cord
which runs over u couple of pulleys.
The form of the sector is so adjusted
that the movement of the weight is
ulwayii proportional to sin a tan a , a
being the unglo of dolleclion ; and it
can be shown that under this condition
the tangent of the angle of delluotion
will bo directly proportional to the Cur
rent. The rotation of the axis of the
coil displaces a disc over which a wheel
moves in such a manner that its ve
locity is proportional to the angular
displacement of the disc. The number
of turns made by the wheel is registered
by a train of clock-work. The appara
tus id availublo either for continuous or
for alternating currents.
Standard of Competency.
The desire of the National Electric
Light association to assist in the good
work begun by the Boston electric Ex
change will , it seems likely , bear fruit
before long. A committee has now
bison apiKiinted on the subject , and an
interesting report may be expected at
the convention to bo hold in August in
1 hl'a city. Wo hear that in Now Eng
land the action Already taken is pro
ductive of good in causing the men who
do thi ) construction work of electric
light installations to Book to qualify
themselves for licenses , and if nothing
else had boon gained than this , Mr.
Alexander nnd his associates who sot
the ball rolling would bo gratified and
repaid. What is now wanted la Hko
work everywhere , nnd , through the
ngency of the association , a uniformity
of rule and sUuidnrd.
Alternating Continuous Currents.
In the fifth paper on this subject read
by Mr. Gcorgo Cutter before the Chicago
cage Electric club , the author states at
once his absolute faith in the alternat
ing current. Ho begins by questioning
the accuracy of Mr. II. Ward Leonard's '
figures of the cost of current distribu
tion on the throe wire- system and in
one case obtains a figure oooblo that of
Mr. Leonard. Aa regards the danger
from lenkago of the converters , Mr.
Gutter maintains that a leaky conver
ter , if grounded , will only alToct a few
lamps , whereas a leak with the contin
uous current transformer and a network
for low pressure local distribution would
endanger nil the lamps connected to the
notworlc. Mr. Cutter then compared
the various systems of supply by direct
current , continuous current transform
ers , storage batteries , etc. , and his con
clusions wore that none of them pre
sented all the advantages of the alter
nating method , whether for lighting ,
jmwor or other applications of the cur
rent already known or which may bo
developed in the future.
Dangerous Electric flight AVI res.
On April 15 a ynung man was instant
ly killed in Now York by touching the
pondcnt end of a "dead' ' wire. It ap
peared from expert evidence given at
the coroner's inquest that the insula
tion of electric light wires is necessa
rily imperfect in wet weather , nnd that
in such weather if two "dead" wires are
in contact with the same electric light
wire , no matter how far npart.and roach
one to the ground and the other nearly
so , a person standing on the ground and
touching the latter wire 'will receive the
full charge of the dynamo , tt was stat
ed that there are many miles of "dead"
electric light wires on the poles , as it
costs ns much to lake a wire down as to
put it ii ] ) , and the opinion was exposed
that the underground system was the
only safe one.
The verdict of the jury was to the
effect that the death was caused by _ the
neglect of the United Slates Illuminat
ing company in not .removing the loose
wire.
Primary Battery
A great many reports appear in print ,
and a great many inquiries roach us ,
says the Elcct-iic World , as to plans and
inventions for electric lighting from
urimary batteries. , At the present
time two or throe promoters nro invit
ing public support for such enterprises.
Now wo would like to say that while fn
many of these instances the inventors
and experimenters uro honest and well-
meaning , the odds are against
them. With zinc costing twenty
times as much as coal , it does
not require much ponotrjition for even
one familiar with electricity to see that
all batteries consuming zinc have hard
work to compote with steam or water
power in generating current , but the
great trouble is that many who arc in
vited to invest do not stop to consider
little facts like these. Of other types
of batteries , we are personally ac
quainted with none that have yet
solved the problems involved. We do
not say that the goal will never be
reached ; oa the contrary , wo know of
more than one hopeful line of investi
gation novv being followed , and shall ho
on ly too glad to herald succesn. , M.ean-
tinio some of the schemes pihulcd ;
before the public eye must bo charac
terized a ? rank swindles. They
need not bo ' named. Any prudent man
proposing' to put his money into them
can soon llnd out their true inward
ness.
Wiring ; Tables For ElcctrEa
The table for wiring houses , which
wo published in a recent issue , has
brought to us a largo number of loiters
from correspondents who desire to know
if other rules are accur.ato which they
give in their Idlers and which vary
considerably from ono another. With
out going into a strict examination of
thcbo rules , which would Occupy a good
deal of lime , wo can say generally that
in most of the cases they are specific
rules which apply to particular cases.
like the ono which wo publishd , and
which we were careful to point out WIIH
of such u nature that it could not
bo applied generally. In the pres
ent wo give space to a communication
on this subject , which wo believe ex
presses in a clear manner Iho Iruo prin
ciples upon which all rules of this na
ture ought to be based , As pointed out
in that article , the true principle rests
merely on the application of Ohm's
law and its corollaries. With this as a
basis wo may frame formulas which
may apply to nny number of specific
cases , and if the principle involved bo
always berne in mind , the danger which
such specific formula are liable to
give rise to in the hands of the inexperienced -
porioncod will bo avoided.
A Now Itrodo of lOleotrlo Welding.
It has long boon known that the most
refractory metals are fusible in the elec
tric arc , says the London Times , and of
late the fact has been applied to the re
duction and welding of mutata. In the
welding process of Prof. Elihu Thomp
son of Boston , Mass. , the joint to bo
welded is traversed by an alternating
current of electricity btrong enough to
fuse the metals logcthnr. But in the
now process of Dr. Bernardo of St.
Petersburg a continuous current from a
charged accumulator is employed. The
melals to bo welded are connected to
the negative polo of the accumulator ,
and a carbon pencil , buoh as IH used in
Iho oloclric arc lamp , is connected to
the positive polo of the accumulator.
Tliu consequence is that when the car
bon pencil is brought into contact with
the joint , and then withdrawn , an
arc is .started between thorn , and the
metals of the joint uro fused in its in
tense heat until they run together.
Carbon blocks are in certain cases usad
to retain the molten mcUtl in its place ,
and a little Band is also employed as a
llux. By these moans boiler-plates can
ho mondocl in situ , blow-holes in cast
ings lilted up , and iron rods joined
together. To weld two pieces to throe-
olghlhs inch boiler-plate forty cells of
the accumulator joined "in sorieH" and
three "in parallel" are lakon to supply
the current ; and a one-inch carbon
pencil in a port-able holder is used to
strike and maintain the arc. The
power of the latter is regulated by the
number of cells employed. The ac
cumulator of Dr. Bernardo hns plates
made of strip loud , ho having found
that cells witn pasta in the plates do
not stand the strong currents which ho
requires. _

The curlowU fact 1ms been noted by
Palmiorl nnd confirmed by Lnrroguo
that electricity is produced by the con

An clectrio surface railway has been
patented by Mr. John A. Enos , of Bos
ton , Mass. Itiaof that class in which

Spain is the place for electricians just
now. The government has decreed that
all the theaters in the kingdom shall
adopt the electric light within six
mqnths. Exports say that danger is in
this wholesale edict , for there nro not
men and material in the country to do
the work in the required time , and if
there should bo a ground inllux of elec
tricians the work is likely to bo too
hastily done to be safe.
The Hell Gate electric light tower was
sold at Kovcrnmont auction last week for

BAFFLED.
flrtrnlt JuMrmil.
I had always taken a pride in being n
match-maker , and as I thought my
brothor-in-law , Dwight Morrell , and
Nellie Bloom , my dearest friend , would
make a very but table couple , I wrote
and asked them lo visit me.
I know they had mot two years before
at Happy Hill and were rather at
tracted to each other , though that may
have boon only my imagination. I told
Nellie whon'J tirovo her homo from thg
depot thatfI1'Jmd made some plans re
garding Hcr' tuturo happino&s ; that I
had sent fjji * jjomo ono to meet her.
"I I ougl J , to have told you that I
was was already engaged , " she fataim
mured , hunting into tears.
"I tun jvfjkcd , " I said , "for I hud
picked oit "the nicest person in tlio
world for yo\ ( \ . and now you have ruined
all my plans. Bui toll mo who the /or-
tunalo mail I-who has wrested you from

"I'll to.f ) J'pu after a while , " said
Nellie , "ijnjlAlien you can send me
homo aga\jir"
The trajn'brought my brothor-in-law ,
nnd I went tqjtho station ulono lo moot
him and my husband.
Arthur was always in my confidence
and I talked as I chose.
"Oh , Dwight , " I said , "you see a
thwarted schemer before you. I had
nskedayoung lady to moot you , pur
posely to make up a mutch between
you , und her affections seem to be en
tangled. Very unworthily , I should
judge , from the fact that fcho is drcad-
lully ttshumed of it. But you are really
very In fact , very like your brother ,
who is in my eyes Iho most perfect of
mon ; and I think if you exert all your
powers of fascination you may cut out
this unworthy person. The girl is worth
trying for pretty , tweet , bright. "
"Halt there , my dear slater ! " cried
Hwight , holding up.his hand. "Wo nil
know youv grand hobby , but it i no'usq
.planning in this caso. I ought -to Imya
told you before , but I've boon engaged
n twelvemonth or moro to the sweetest ,
best , dearest girl in the world. I know
you'll ' Hko her ; but she insisted upon my
silence , and "
"Oh , pshawl" I cried , totally out of :
temper. ' 'Don't toll mo anything , I
bog. O course , you'vo made a goose of
yourself or you'd not have kept the fact
quiet so long. I don't care , I'm sure.
You'ro quite your own master. Oh , you
needn't laugh , Arthur. If I had plans
for Dwight s good , and I thought them
frustrated , I surely may fool justly pro
voked. It's for their sake , not mine. "
I drove homo in sllonco , loft them at
the gate , and Hulked in my own room
until the tea boll rang. Then my duty
as hostess compelled mo to go down
stairs. I glanced nt the gloss , saw that
everything was neat nboutmy drcssand
sauntered down very slowly.
Arthur was waiting in the dining
room , but neither Dwight nor Nellie
was to bo seen.
"Sco hero , Hosa , . " said Arthur"Don't
show your temper. Dwight IB thirty
nnd Ncllio twenty-five. Try pome
younger couple. Don't mind thorn. "
"But who is she ? "
"Dwight has not told moyot"liO8aid.
I caught my parasol.
"It is somebody perfectly dreadful , I
know , " I said , and went awav to look
for Nellie.
She was not on the balcony , nor the
veranda , nor In the arbor , and 1 wan
dered away along the path beside Iho
river until I came to the little boat-
houso. Wo had the prettiest arbor
there , nil shaded with clematis , nnd
from it I hoard the murmur of voices
cooing in Iho swoolest tones.
"Such a delightful surprisol"
"Oh , how glad I ami"
"I never dreamed of ill" etc. And
mingled with these words oh I could it
boV yesactually there is nothing else
like the sound _ kissing soft , rapid ,
passionate kisslngl
The next instant , Iho shadow of my
blue parasol fell upon Iho doorway , and
I saw Dwight and Nellie silling beside
each other , with his arm about her
waist.
"Well ! For engaged popplo. " I cried ,
"I think you nro'vcry friendly. " And
my wrathful eyes smote them ns with
lighlning ; and they the hardened
wretches ! only laughed. "And not a
bit ashamed of yourself V" I asked.
"Not a bit taken aback ? "
But Ncllio was in my nrms now , cry
ing out :
"Oh , don't you understand'1 ! Dwight
is the person I am engaged lo ! "
And Dwight cried in the same mo
ment :
"It was Nellie I meant ! You mndotho
match two years ago without knowing
it ! "
It took me five minutes to under
stand , but then I laughed with them
and as heartily , and wo were as happy a
party round our lilllo lea table Ihat
niglil as Dwight and Nellie are to-dtiy a
happy couple , and I could not say moro
if I tried.

delicate appearance , reading "The
Lives of Eminent Saints" in nbigtrreon
volume. When the train started and
the April breezes came rushing in the
open window. "Tho Lives of Emi
nent Saints" socmcd to lose its
interest , the old man fidgeted
about , extracted two cinders from his
left eye. and then spread his umbrella
and held it in front -of him. Shortly
afterward the owner of the open win
dow observed the umbrella with borne
surprise.
'Does the air trouble you' : " ' bhe in
quired.
"Not in the least , " he said , shutting
"The Eminent Saints" with a bang.
"What have you put up that umbrella
for ? "
"It's only an experiment , younjr lady.
I want to see whether youl'll catch the
pneumonia before thu cinders burn up
my 'broil , that's all. "
