Artillery nntl the Electric Light.
The electric light seems destined to
play almost as important a part on land
as on sea in the next big European war.
The Austrians are constructing port
able electric light plants to bo used in
entraining and detraining troops at
night. The Germans are going to have
a aimilar portable plant attached to
their siege trains. Finally some Eng
lish batteries , now engaged in experi
mental practice at Dartmoor , have been
cunufllnir themselves by endeavoring to
dcttfoy some olootrlo light apparatus
eroctc'd by a party of engineers from
Chatham. Up to the present only a
uuUnsm of damagu has boon done to
ftc reflector. The experiments have
been made on the biutln that the search
light Is being used by an enemy ad
vancing on the camp. Whether wo are
to attribute the immunity of the plant
to bad shooting or to the blinding effect

Referring lo lu ° paragraph which ap
peared in bomo ot tno daily papers last
week of the restoration to sight through
R flash of lightning ut Wolvorhampton
of a collier who some tlmo ago lost IIH !
tight through an accident , wo think ,
tays the London Electrical Hovlowthat
this is a mutter which should occupy
the attention of those medical gentlemen -
mon who.nro Interested in the applica
tion of electricity for curative purposes.
2omo time back Dr. Lawrence was try
ing some very interesting experiments
with regard to reducing the thickness
of the albumen of the eye by puling
light currents of olootrlclty through
the ball to reduce it to fluid , lie tried
his'exporimont by boating in water the
white of un egg , and after having
caused it to sot roliquillod it with great
SUCCORS bv passing currents through it.
The medical profession might now insti-
vtuto a Horius of experiments upon the
Influence 6f electric shockt ) in cases of
partial or total blindness , and wo will
undertake ta say that the result would
uiako the study well worth pursuing.
The Dlllloulty Mot.
Elootrio World : Shortly after the
telephone Industry hud become well
established , the introduction ot the
electric light made manifest the dis
turbing Influence which the conductors
carrying heavy currents had upon tele
phone circuits' , and the cries of despair
of the telephone managers at the ini-
i noyunco wore frequently hoard. It did
i * not tauo long , however , to discover n
remedy for the evil complained of , and
s to-day the method Of running electric
UffUtamUolophono wires side by side
i , disturbance is well understood
and generally put In practice. Never
theless the report ot tno committee ap
pointed to investigate this question in
Germany , and the tests they Imvo made
In connection with It , are interesting titi
confirming the practice generally
adopted hero ; and wo would draw at
tention particularly to the results of
their experiments with regard to the
influence of the Iron covering for under
ground cables in the prevention of in-
i auction between the conductors In con-
'
tiguous cables. The committee , how
ever , advises the separation , as far as
possible , of the two kinds of conductors , ,
and this also is , wo believe , now recog
nized to bo the bettor practice , in this
country. It is interesting to note that
the results obtained with continuous
und alternating currents do not differ
essentially , and that by the employment
of what is known as the concentric
cable , i. o. , ono in which the outgoing
and returning circuits are placed ono
within the other , immunity from all
ciTects of induction is obtained.
Now Vork Street Cars.
Electrical World : It is , wo think ,
impossible to exaggerate the import
ance of the worlc now being done on the
Fourth avenue in the introduction of
electric street cars. There are many
features special to this niece of work ,
giving it unusual prominence and sig
nificance. Now York city , to bogiti
with , is peculiarly suitable for demon
strations of an improvement of this
character , and our linn conviction is
that the more the public see of the
storage cars the more they will insist
uKii | having thorn. So far as the pub
lic is concerned , the element of expense
docs not enter into tlio matter any more
than it does into the agitation against
bobtail cars. It is enough that the cars
are swift , clean and safe , easily con
trolled , do not in the slightest dcgroo
niToct the paving of the roadbed , lave-
the horses from a crnol fate , abolish the
malodorous car stables , lighten the
work of the drivers , and nro frco from
all the objections that can bo raised
against cither tlio stoum elevated reader
or the burtuco cable cars. On the ether
hand , storage oars are cheaper than
horrio earn to run , and that is the main
point for the operating companies ;
while there is another enormous ad
vantage in the fact that the change
from the old system to the now
can bo made gradually. Then
again , the adoption of storage for such
u rend as the Fourth avenue is a very
hopeful and cheering sign , not only of
the liberal policy marking the Vanderbilt -
bilt regime of to-day , but of the pros
pects of electricity in urban passenger
trallic gen orally. If storage curs thus
find favor with ono of the largest and
most conservative munugomonts in the
country , one may well be banguino us to
tlio future. Wo have but one criticism
to offer on the now cars , suggested by
the successful trials , namely , that they
nro almost too mabxivo and Imixltomo.
Perhaps it is not our business , but still
wo believe that the car bodies might bo
built much lighter without losing sta
bility.
The Power of Electricity.
Iron Ago : The eloctrlo motor business
ness- , which was In a nascent state a few
days ago , In now developing ut an oven
faster rate than the elootrio light busi
ness , though the amount of capital iu-
voalod and the value of the plant 'is
comparatively small. At the present
time there are in use In Boston , lor sx-
umplo , u lurgo number ol "KlTui motors
for various purposes , furnishing in all
about , roufclily estimating , 600-horso
power. In Now York city it is esti
mated that there is about 800-horso
power furnished by oleotrlo motors for
various small industries. In Philadel
phia there are u considerable number
of electric motors in constant use , und
the bnmo is true of Buffalo , Cincinnati
und Cleveland , und their number is
rapidly growing lit all the lurgo cities.
In Chicago und Detroit the number is
smaller und the use somewhat restricted
owing to the efforts being maUo by mu
nicipal authorities to have the wires
put underground and the consequent
dlfllculty in making additions to the
systems of overhead wires. The motors
in use range In power from one-hulf-
horse power to 15-horso power. A
IMPORTANT
Special dispatch received , from Mr.
Logic , now in New York :
NEW YORK , Sept. 28 , 1888.
To E. W. Osgood , New York Dry Goods Store ,
Omaha :
Have bought for cash , at half price , some
Black Silks and Kid Gloves. Sell them at cost
and give our customers the benefit of the pur
chase. A. R. LOGIE.
( Copy of telegram. )
The goods mentioned above , we will place on sale Tuesday ,
at45c per yard for the silk , and45c per pair for the gloves , and
it is safe for us to say that these are the cheape-.t goods of the
kind ever offered in Omaha. The quantity is limited and an
early call is advised. The gloves are heavily embroidered
backs , excellent quality , 4-button length , and the silk is a rare
silk fabric. r * fc
number of motors of one-sixth horse
power ana others of 25-horso power are
also in use. In addition to the largest
cities mentioned above , there is a con
siderable number of motors used in the
smaller cities , such as Bangor , Maine ;
Lowoll.Nowburyport , Lynn and Spring-
flold , Mass. ; ProvidencePawtucket and
Woonsockett , R. I. , and other of the
smaller cities of the cast , and St. Louis ,
Kansas City and other western cities.
Tlio question naturally arises as to the
uses which these motors , furnishing as
they do small amounts of power , are
put. In a general way it may bo said
that they are employed in all those in
dustries and work which has formerly
been done by a small amount of steam
power or by the gns engines or water
motors which have been quite
extensively employed during the
last few years. They are em
ployed for driving air-compres
sors , bookbinding machinery , bakers'
machinery , blowers , cranes , carpen
ters' machinery , cash carriers , coffee
mills , churns , drug mills.dumb-waitors ,
dentists' lathes , drill presses , elevators ,
grindstones , hydraulic presses , hatters'
machinery , icooream freezers , jewelers'
lathes , knitting machines , lathe workIng -
Ing machinery , laundry machinery ,
looms , paper box machinery , polishing
machines , pile drivingprinting presses ,
quotation transmitters , sowing ma
chines , stamping machines , ventilating
machines , washing machines and 100
other small uses.
Perhaps the most important use of
motors at present i on elevators , print
ing presses und sowing machines , and
in each line a largo and incraassng
number are constantly being usod. The
increase in the many different outside
uses is even fan tor. Wherever a mod
erate amount of power is needed the
electric motor can supply It. The econ
omy of the stationary electric motor
over small steam and gas engines is
claimed to bo considerable. It is based
upon the fact that largo engines consume -
sumo much less coal for the power furnished -
nishod than do small engines.
In the transference of power through
the dynamo and motor to the machin
ery , about J20 or so per cent it lost , but
even with this it can bo soon that largo
power may bo produced at a contra !
station and sold out to 'consumers
cheaper than they could produce it by
small engines. Incandescent electric-
light lighting companies can alTord to
sell the motor power cheap , as the
motor business is of great and positive
advantage to thorn in giving employ
ment and earning capacity to their
plant when it would otherwise bo idle
and profitless. This arises from the
fact that most of the electric lighting is
done at night , and the machinery and
plant of the company is then employed ,
while during the day time it would bo
idle. The advantage to the cpiisumor
of electric power is fouti'l partly in the
greater noutness , cleanliness and com
pldnoBs of the motor as compared with
engines , and from the fact that the mo
tors roqulro no attendance , and the
l > ewer can bo turned on or off by a
switch. The motors themselves as
mechanical devices are claimed to bo 125
per cent cheaper than engines. In most
cases the motors are sold outright to the
consumers , and the power is leased ,
but sometimes both motor aud power
are leased.
Electric Prostration.
"Electric prostration" is the name
given to a disorder which troubles
workars under oloctrlct lights. Severe
cases are reported from Grousot , Franco ,
whore an * electric furnace is used for
quickly hontlng metals. The light exceeds -
coeds 100,000 candle power , and the
men suffer from it , not from the beat.
After ono or two hours the workers have
a p.xlnful sensation in the throat , face
and temples , the skin becomes copper
red and an eye irritation begins that
lasts forty-eight hours , the discharge of
tears being copious. After five days
the skin peals olT. Dark-colored glasses
somewhat mitigate thoelloct of this tre
mendous light but not entirely.
Humniliif ; oi'Wlrcs.
Engineering says the posts and trees
used as support for telegraph wires in
various districts in America are very
sharply marked by bears , which , it is
supposed , are misled by the humming
noises to presume that there nro bees
within. But the humming of telephone }
wires is often a great nuisance to per
sons near the end of the line. The
vibration is reduced so as to be inaudi
ble bv moans of powerful springs placed
in a line , and preventing the wire from
reaching an excessive tension , especi
ally in cold weather. The vibration of
such lines is also reduced by hanging
weights upon the wires , and in that
manner reducing the length of those
vibrations by dampening the wires.

New York World : Every day in sum
mer a gaunt , broken-sniritod old liorso
may bo seen jogging along the beautiful
turnpike between Versailles and Lex
ington. Ky. , drawing after him an old
buggy. Ho is callous to shout and whip.
His eyes are dim , and his once glossy
coat has boon burned by the sun into a
rough brick-dust red. Yet the old fol
low sometimes pricks his cars up and
unexpectedly dashes nwny at full speed ,
especially when another horse goes gal
loping by. On these occasions the old
liorso seems to remember that a few
years ago ho was the pride of the
turf , and ho hears ringing in his ours
the hearse shouts of the thousands when
ho swept under the string with every
nerve and nuibclo strained to the ut
most , winning by a head , defeating the
renowned Hindoo , prince of racers and
of stallions , after the fiercest of contests.
For the name of this shabby old dis
crowned king of the turf is Checkmate ,
and his life and his present condition
are nn epitome of the race horso. Look
at old Checkmate jogging along the
quiet country road , and glancing over
brilliant racers of the past season , ono
cannot help thinking that they are all
running with unexampled speed , because -
cause they have time and tide both with
thorn , straight for old Checkmate's
place , though most of them may not
lind such pleasant quarters.
I During the past season there has boon
an annual mortality of great horbos , for
the two years proceeding were prolific
of wonderful performers. Tremout is
but a memory , Hanover may never * fneo
the starter again , The Bard is perhaps
forever disabled , the Emperor of Norfolk -
] folk has scon his lust racing days , Joe
I Cotton , gamcst and fleetest of thorough
breds , lies buried in the uncongenial
soil of Massachusetts. The winner of
scores of rich stakes , ho was killed in a
wretched little purse race ; and whore
have the rest gone Troubadour , Bon
AH , Royal Arch , Ban Burg , Montana.
Regent , Kuloolah ? The names sound
like nn echo.
But the season In many respects has
boon an exceptionally brilliant ono.
Never before were the stakes so largo ,
the contests so close , the betting so
high , the uncertainty BO great , the
crowds so largo. There have been no
throc-your-olds like Hanover and
Kingston , no two-yoar-olds llko Tre-
mont , but there has boon a general
avoriigo of line racing. In a number of
instances the record has been touched ,
and several times it has boon lowered.
Now records have boon made for four
distances. Daniel B , at Helena , Mont. ,

In talking of the threo-year-olds ,
western turfmen say : "Oh , yes , Kings
ton and Hanover and The Bard were all
? reat horses , but if the Emperor had
just hold up ! " Truly , hie career was
tike a meteor. His last eight races
were an unbroken line of victories , and
In the other two races that ho lost ho
was placed. From the Troubadour
stakes at Nashville early in the spring
to the American derby at Chicago last
summer he faced and defeated the bent
of the three-year-olds cast and west. Ho
may never hoar the drum tap again ,
but he deserves to bo named in the flrst
class. Ho is a bay colt , by Norfolk , out
of Marian , and is owned by "Lucky"
Baldwin.
The greatest of the sound three-year-
olds is Los Angeles , who has a record
of ton victories out of eighteen starts ,
and who has won for her owner 823,052.
She is also owned by Baldwin , and is a
chestnut lilly by imported Glonolir out
of La Polka. She was the first lilly to
win the Lutonia derby , and in addition
to that she won the Monmouth oaks ,
the Kansas City oaks , the Jersey handi
cap , tbo Kenncr stakes , the Foxhall
fitakos , the Pocahontfts stakes and a
number of handicaps.
It is to this year's two-year-olds that
the lovers of the sport must look for the
