Great interest IB manifested hero in the probable establishment of another electrical Industry at West Lynn for the manufacture- welded shells , says u Lynn dispatch to the Boston Advertiser. The works of the Thomson electric welding - . ing company are crowded to their ut- > mofit capacity in the manufacture of welding machines , which will bo ubed largely in the new industry. As soon as the patents Of Lieutenant Woyd , U. S. N. , for welding shells were brought to the attention of the government there was a prompt appreciation of their value and an order was at once placed for 100 , 000 shells for Ilotchklss guns and Shrap nel shells as soon as facilities were ready for making them. The titno of getting the patents , which usually takes six months , was reduced to thirty days. By the now process the shells instead of being made of cast Iron and boxed as formerly , are made by welding the chilled point and butt to u petition of soft iron pine. In the case of Shrapnel shells the labor and uncertainty of graduating the thickness of the shell with calipers aftcp boring , and adjusting the nicely poised diaphragm between the powder at the butt anil the bullets with which it is ililcd , is greatly lessened. Itattcry haunches. In spile of the rapid advances of clcc- triclty in America , there are still some directions in which the progress has been more rapid still in England , says the Now York Electrical World. The storage battery , which on this side of the water has been rather slow of devel opment , has for various reasons -boon utilized very extensively abroad. Ono ube to which it has been put very suc cessfully is the propulsion of small launches that otherwise would bo driven by steam engines. The small steam en gine is anything but a convenient thjng to. have in a boat , with its accompanying llttlo boiler and liny furnace. The ac cumulator , however , an bo comfortably stowed "f\wny uiid/v5 tlio seats , while the necessary motJJs , can almost bo ivc- 'commodulcd in the stern locker. The ac cumulators only require a few hours' charging for an ordinary pleasure trip , and are reported to glvo very little trouble. They are heavy , to bo _ sure , but hardly more "ho than the engine which would otherwise bo used and from the little room they take up give far moro available space in a boat of the same size. A special typo of compact and rather low v speed motor is made for launch use , and " in practice has proved ofliciont and dur able. There are many cases in which such electric launches could bo very con veniently used on our own inland waters , and electric lighting plants are getting common enough In small places to furnish n ready means of charging. Of course on the Thames lighting stations are com mon enough along the banks , so that oven now quite a llttlo ileot of olcctrio x 'Iajinchos are on the river. In this conn- try. one or two such boats have boon built , but they have not attracted much attention. From their many good quali ties it is to bo hoped that they will boon eomo Into moro extensive use. Some ISxpcrlmoiits in Telojjrapliy. A Paris correspondent sends the fol lowing interesting account of rapid telegraphy over a long distance : Some months HL'O there was arranged a direct telegraphic communication between Lon don aim Rome , working on the Hughes rvs'iom , with relays at Paris. Lyons , Turin and Florence. Its operation since then lias been very regular , although accidental disarrangements have boon somewhat more frequent upon this line , 2V200 kilimotres long , than upon other shorter lines. Hecontly experiments have boon tried on this line with Wheatbtono apparatus , with relays at Paris , Lyons and Turin. It has been possible to secure 120 words n minute between London and Rome , and this speed evidently could bo surpassed - passed if the fourth relay was used at Florence so as to divide the Turin-Rome bcction , which is about 810 kilimetres long , into two part * . There is no doubt that a speed of tnuibinlbblon of 200 words a minute would bo reached , since this speed has been attained upon the London-Paris section. The repeaters which have boon installed at Paris and Lyons are of the latest poslolllce model , unil allow of working either a simple or duplex instrument. The arrangements are nccessarly very complicated. There was ono of thet-o Instruments in Iho exposition - position In Klliott'a exhibit , precisely Hlmllar to that established at Lyons. Tlio repeater at Paris la still moro com plicated by reason of the cable which ne cessitates a series of condensers to allow for its capacity. No trials of duplex telegraphy have as yet been made be tween London and Homo , but experi ments have been made between London and Marseilles in the course of which ninoty.words in each direction have been successfully transmitted. The experi ment has not been repeated , but it cer tainly did not give the maximum bpoe.d it IB possible to attain. Kloctrlu Current ) ) . The electrician who knows the theo- rotlcal part of his science only as ho studied it live or ten years ago linds his knowledge sadly at fault when ho is confronted with the ideas 'and theories of today , says Iho Electrical World. Not that any great and radical changes have revolutionized electrical theory in these last few years , but there have been great additions to our knowledge of cer tain occult phenomena , nnd theory has advanced correspondingly. Wo were accustomed to look at the electric current - rent as something that ( lowed in or along the wife , and too many students grow to think of it almost us u fluid. To those wont to depend slavishly on hydro- dynnmlcnnaloglo' * it is rather rv rude Bliock to realize that in very many cases we should pay far loss attention to elec trical disturbances in the conductor than to the extraordinary pulsations of energy that Hurround it. wo must today think of a wire carrying a current not as a tube in which n certain mystcrloiH How is taking place , Tint in n moro linear nu cleus along nnd around which there is a ceaseless How of energy capable of pro ducing tremendous olTects oven far away from tlio wire. Wo must think of the conductor not as a thin line of wire , but as the center of n far-reaching electro- dynamic disturbance. Taho an extreme case , an alternating current of a very short period , capable of producing enormous inductive clTccts and transferring immense mechanical power , might penetrate the accompany ing conductor hardly moro than skin deep. What would go on within tlio wire wo might almost neglect It would bo only as wo neared and pabbcd Its sur face that electrical energy would mani fest itself. And further , it is a surprise to realize that electro-magnetic induc tion has suddenly fallen into line with other forms of radiant energy thnt the light and warmth of the summer's Bun tllller from tlio bolar waves of Induction that produce magnetic storms only in degree that a gas llamo Is just as truly tin exhibition of electro-magnetic energy as an electric light. But all this , which may sound bo revolutionary , Is not now ; it has gradually been unfolding during fifteen years of splendid theoretical in vestigation , and lias wauled , as the law of gravitation waited , more than two centuries ago , for tlio connecting link of experiment to bind firmly together bril liant hypothesis and recondite mathe matics. _ Some Queer Appliances. Some of the recent appliances cf elec tricity would appear positively grotesque if they were not so remarkably practical and valuable , says the Now York Sun. In this class may bo reckoned an ingen ious invention which dates from Chicago cage , to-wit , an .electric carpet sewing machine. The machine is mounted on four wheels of tlio bicycle pattern , which combine strength with lightness and esiho of motion. A small boy .can start the machine , and cither ride on it or walk ahead of it and match and pin the carpet ready for the needle. When a different stitch is desired another bo\ying machine may bo adjusted to the carriage with but little trouble. The immense saving of labor that is accomplished by this machine is apparent , Byjmnd about twenty-five yards of carpet can bo sown in a dav ; by this device about eight yards a minute. Tlio inventor proposes to place two machines , ono following th'o other , on the same track , and operate both at tlio same time. Thus ingran and Brussels carpets may bo sown at the same time , and the amount of work done bo doubled. It is claimed that , with six boys to operate two machines , an amount of work equal to that now done by 300 girls can bo turned out. The seam is much superior in evenness and llntness to anything that can bo done by hand. Domestic Klcutrlc The dynamo has come into consider able use abroad , but in this country it is not as well known ns it deserves to be. A good gas engine , although rather ex pensive in first cost , is a decidedly economical machine to run , and can bo used successfully in private plants where iv steam engine would bo objectiomiblo , says the Electrical World. It will give tlio horse-power hour on twenty-live fcict of gas , aim as a sixteen candle power in candescent lamp is practically the equivalent of a five-foot gas burner , wo reach the rather remarka ble result that a given amount of gas will give moro light through the medium of a gascnginoand dynamo than it will directly. Wo may confidently look for development an this direction , bo that any one within reach of gas may use elcctricby for domestic lighting at tv cost less than his present gas bill. If fuel gas over comes into extensive use the gas engine and dynamo will have iv further advantage. At present the combination is rather in the background v ground , but there are many cas-os for which it is admirably adapted. The ai-c motor and incandescent dynamo is another combination tnat might bo em ployed very effectively in certain locali ties , and would require singularly little attention. The olllcicncy would bo very satisfactory and the expense not at all prohibitory. limiting "Otitliiwetl" Telephones. A somewhat singular situation has been developed in Philadelphia. Dur ing the past few months the American Boll telephone company lias had detec tives at work in that city for the pur pose of discovering "bogus" or out lawed telephones. Over two hundred have been discovered and many of the users thereof , including liverymen , doc tors , dentists , druggists and fuel dealers have boon summoned to appear in the United States circuit court. These bogus telephones are in all probability the remains of some former competitors of the Boll telephone company , and some two years ago the company brought ex actly tlio siuno kind of a sultns thnt now in progress against a number of business men , some of whom are now on the list of delinquents. They were all released upon the promise that they would not Ube the infringing instruments. It is hardly likely that they will bo treated us leniently this time. Sparks. It is reported from Paris that an ap paratus for furnishing electric light from primary batteries is in successful operation there , and that the house of tlio duke do laTromoillo IsJIghted by it. "Two ole'ctrio motors liavo be'en built for the purpose of operating tome hy draulic gates at a distance of several miles. The dynamo to bo used in both cases Is a small constant-current ma chine. The water gates will bo Con trolled and placed in any desired posi tion at the will of the distant operator by throwing a swltcli lover. On Bloomtlold avenue , Newark , an electric railroad car received a discharge of lightning from an overhead wire. Tno two incandescent lamps in the car were burned out , but no other damage was done. The occupants of the car were scared out of a year or two's growth. An extraordinary feat in telephoning was recently accomplished between St. Petersburg and Bologno , u distance of li-105 miles. Conversation was kept up , notwithstanding a rather high Induction. The Russian engineers propose to converse - verso by telephone over a distance of 1(1U5 ( miles. Tlio latest nnd most trustworthy sta tistics show that there are in operation in this country , and in the courto of con struction at the present time , no fewer that 170 olectrlo railways operating 1,885 cars , with 1,200 miles of track. The number of passengers carried it would bo dllllcult to estimate , but it can not bo far from 100,000,000. Tho'questlon of the wholesale destruc tion o ( swallows by electricity has at last boon taken up in Franco , and a report on the subject was presented at iv recent meeting of the Zoological society. In the south of Franco long wires nro sys- temmatlcally erected along the seashore , and when the tired swnllows alight on them they are stunned or killed by tin electric shock. The birds are then sent to Paris , where they are used for decora tive purposes. A now incandescent lump has-been - in troduced which is said to obviate discol oration. The carbon filaments nro made from raw silk threads nut through a cnro- ful process nnd capable of bearing high temperature. A suspended needle Is fitted instdo from the socket to the glass tip , and this prevents shaking und at tracts the particles o.f carbon. Rumors thnt have been prevalent about the enterprise nhown by the Japanese have been verified by their purchase of a complete electric light plant from tlio Westlnghouse company to light the en tire city of Shidzonua , Japan. At a certain Berlin cafe the lighting nnd ventilation are effected by means of electricity. In the center of the room there tire several largo glass jars through which passes a platinum wire in spiral form. The electricity , on heating the wire , speedily raises the temperature of the water in the jars to the boiling point and prepares the coffee In the sight of everybody. Lastly , a small electric railway transmits the coffee to the various tables , so that the guests may help themselves to their liking. Pyrotechnic effects in table decoration nro rampant. Electric wires arc run through the stems of tulips , white lilies and jonquils ; a bunch of them planted in an cporgno give the red , yellow , green and brown fruit the glow of enchant ment , and when the white bright light streams from tv plaque of nuts the sensa tion is rather moro weird than poetic. A very interesting incident is reported from Philadelphia. A few days ago a visitor to the telephone exchange In that city observed that two sightless opera tors were iminlpulntlng the switches. The superintendent of the exchange ex plained that ho had been addressed by a young lady with the request that ho em ploy her brind brother. The fcaslb.llty of the plan was questioned , but the young lady got permission to draw a diagram of the switchboard , which she took homo , and from it she BO instructed her blind brother that ho became com petent to fill the pobltion. Two hundred applications have since been received for positions. Wonted A peed nppctlto. You cnn hnvo It easy enough by taking Hood's Siirsapnrllln.

A correspondent writing from Italy gives' some interesting details of the treatment of prisoners on various Italian islands ho visited while on a trip in the Mediterranean. Each of these islands contains several hundred pribonors , who are locked up every night at sunset , re leased at daybreak and locked up again from midday until 2 o'clock. During the night no prisoner is allowed to bo absent under any circumstances , but at midday these who work on farms at iv distance from the prison are allowed to remain out by special permission from the director. During these free hours the prisoners can go anywhere they like on the ibland , nnd can engage in any work offered them by the townspeople or farmers. Any infraction of the rules of ordinary lifo around them or of their prison is punished by seclusion in special colls. Tlio government furnishes physicians and medicines , n summer and winter suit of clothes to each prlwmor each year , and allows each 10 cents daily in money for his food and other necessities of lifo. D.ingcr ofescape is prevented by a. squad of boldiors , ono to every ten criminals , and n swift-sailing felucca , manned by marines. On account of the cheapness of labor the islands are bo highly cultivated as to resemble gardens. The corre spondent adds : "As for the prisoners , tlio open air makes them the healthiest of any criminals I have overseen. There is no sign in their faces and bodies of that prison blight which strikes every visitor to ordinary jails or penitentiaries. Fresh , open , country air , sea bathing and contact with honest men , women and children , among whom these criminals must live nnd behave themselves prop erly , remind them that they are not simply jailbirds , but that , guided by a feeling of humanity , society allows them to hang on to its skirts without utterly casting * Ihcmtou . TOOK MR. HOAVEIjTjS' ADVICE. ShcSnitl the First Thing That Came Into Her Head. Women , as a rule , do not enjoy Mr. W. D. IIowolls' minute vivisection of their peculiar little idiosyncracies and weaknesses. They object to the women ho depicts on general principles , bays the Cliicago Tribune. As ono of them expressed it the other day : "There may bo and undoubtedly are exactly biich tiresome women in the world ns ho gives us , but I should avoid them in lifo if I encountered thorn , and object to being bored by them in books. It may bo in teresting to people to read three-page treatises on the way tv woman drops her shears when she is sowing , but it isn't to mo. I would rather read of the excep tional woman , if there is ono , who didn't drop her shears , for I might learn from her. " Doubtless the writer's fair critics will bo interested in the discomfiture ho may have experienced from this little in cident. It was at a great dinner in Bos ton , and iv well-known woman writer sat beside the novelist. Some pno called on her for a speech , and. , woman-like , she refused to respond. "O , you must say somothincr , " Mr. Ilowells insisted. "Got up and say the first thing that comes in your head. " The lady rose at his instigation and said slowly : "I can't make a speech. ' I never could ; but Mr. IIowolls told mo to say the first thing that came in my head , and so I will bay , Mr. IIowolls , whore in the world do you find the perfectly at rocious women you give us in your books ?

It Is known as Montpolllor-lo-Vieux. An Jrregular mass of rocks , some 200 feet high , resembles the towers of a citadel In a striking manner. The citadel is sur rounded by llvo depressions 800 or100 feet deepof which ono appears like an amphitheatre , n bocond a necropolis , a third a parade and the 'fourth a regu larly lald-out city quarter , with publlo monuments , gates , straight streets and intersections suggesting at once such places ttsPompoll.Carnao and Pornopola.

STORY OF A MISSPENT LIFE , Sail Deathbed Confessloft of n Ouco Wcaltly nnd Beantiful Woman , DYING OF WANT--IN ; A HOVEL. Once Coniicctctl'Mi One of Xcw York's Aristocrat lo Kamlllrn , JInry Stone'H Hotly Now 1'lllH a I'uurjci-'s Grave. Dr. 13. C. Curtis of this city has in his possession documents which reveal one of those sad llfo stories which are stranger than fiction , bays the Kansas City Time" . Some days ago Mary Stone died In a rough board shanty In "Hell's Half Acre" unattended , except by an aged no- gross , by whom she was burled. Dr. Curtis found the woman lying upon u bed made from a number of rough boards placed upon carpenter's horses , over which n horse blanket was thrown , while an old gunny-sack filled with hay served for a pillow. The woman was dying of malarial fever and pneumonia caused by dissipa tion and want. The doctor gave medi cine to the woman which appeared to case her pain , but ho baw no help for her and said that she must die. When this was made plain to the poor woman she gave the doctor n short sketch of her carcer , during the recitation of which Dr. Curtis said ho never before witnessed a greater amount of contrition and an- quish over iv misspent life. Before she died she gave to the doctor papers and letters which corroborated her story. From documents in the doctor's posses sion it appears that she was formerly Mrs. Marv Livingstone. She was born in Peokskill , N. Y. , in 1854. her father being Samuel Dobson. a cousin of the Pobbons , of Philadelphia , the great carpet - pot manufacturers. The letters and oth er documents fully corroborated her statements that she had been reared in the lap of wealth and had everything she desired. She was sent to the Wesleyan - loyan university in Connecticut , whore she was educated. Her parents moved to Now York city after the war , and there she made her debut in society and reigned for a season as a favorite. In 187i ; she was married in great style in St. Stephen's church , the groom being William II. Livingstone , a young bro ker , who was a member of the well- known Livingstone family , one of the oldest and most respected Knicker becker families on Manhattan Island. Among the woman's papers is a clipping from the society columns of a Now York paper giving an account of the wedding and reception , and stating that the happy couple would start for Europe in a few days. The account covered a column and a half , and was very minute in its 'details. ' There was nothing in the woman's story to indicate that the marriage was not a happy one. Mrs. Livingstone told the doctor that she lived with her husband three years and then ho secured a divorce from her. This was borne out by a clipping which ga-vo an account of the commencement of n divorce suit in the courts of Now York on March 5 , 1870. It is stated that the Cause of the suit was a scandal arising out of Mrs. Livingstone's intimacy with some English officers , members of the nobility , in Paris and Bi-Ubbols. The remainder of the story of the woman's life was not corroborated by papers' letter , but was just what might have been expected , and was told by the poor creature in a manner which left no doubt of its truth. After the European scandal her parents disowned her , and with the money gratuitously' ' furnished her by Livingstone , she lived a gay and frivolous life in Now York , Baltimore and Washington. In the lat ter place she married Dr. Fletcher , who had been connected with the regular army. In a few years Fletcher became a confirmed invalid and went to Florida with his wife , where ho died three months after his arrival. Ho left his wife a largo sum of money and consider able property. His will was contested and a compromise effected. Mrs. Fletcher went to Chicago , whore she lived notoriously for several years. She then wont to Washington and was an effective lobbyist , being connected with the Do Golyor pavement bill. After this she stated that she began to fall rapidly. She ran off with a wholesale clothing merchant of Cin cinnati to San Francisco , where she was deserted and left to shift for herself. She then took the name of Stone. In California she became addicted to drink and dropped still lower in the social scale. For the last aix months of her life she was intoxicated and consorted with only the most degraded negroes on the levee , as her former dissolute com panions regarded her as being too low oven for them to associate with. This was the .story told by the woman as she lay between life and death and the clammy dew was gathorlhty on her brow. The day after her death she was buried in a pauper's grave , and her only mourner was the aged nogrcss , who had conceived a strong liking for'tho way ward woman. Thus in a rough shanty in a western city died a woman who was once sur rounded by all the comforts and luxuries that wealth could offer , courted and ad mired oven by her own sex. She died a miserable and degraded death , caubcd by her own folly and rashness. Some Army Facts. "Tho nomination of General Nelson A. Miles to succeed the late General Crook as major general Is one of the most corn- mondablo that could be mado. " The speaker was General Fred A. Starring of Washington , who was ono of the most distinguished volunteer sol diers of the west during the civil war , says the Now York Star. "The change caused * by General Crook's death , " said General Starring , as ho talked in the HoTimui | house last night , "has called attention to some curious facts revealed by the Army Register. For instance , isn't It rather strange that theiM is not a general ofllcer of the regular army credited to the west or south ? It Is a fact , however - over , Umt UOt a mail 111 Jko grade of general was born south of Ohio di * west of the Mississippi. Of the major-gen- or. . ' John M. tichollold was born in Now York , Oliver O. Howard Is a native of Maine , and Nelson A. Miles first saw the light in Massachusetts. Of the brigadier generals , David S. Stanley comes from Ohio , John Gibbon and John H. Brooke were born In Pennsylvania and Thomas II. Rugcr and Wesley Mer rill In New York. Miles and Brooke are the only two officers in the grade of general who did not graduate at West Point. Morrltt won his chief distinction as a cavalryman , and all the others commanded Infantry during the war , though Schollold made some reputation as an artillery officer. The most favored arm of the service the engineer corps- has not a representative in the general officers of the line. Since the organization of the army , it has been commanded by fifteen gcnorals-in-chlef , of whom four were natives of Pennsyl vania , two of Massachusetts , two of Vir ginia , three of Ohio , and ono each of Maryland , Michigan , Now York and Scotland. General Scott commanded the army for the longest time , his ser vice as commandor-in-chlof being twen ty years. Sherman comes next with fourteen years to his credit. General Arthur St. Clair , a native of Scotland , was the only man of foreign birth whoever over commanded- army. Two gen- erals-ln-chiof of the army. Washington and Grant , became presidents of the United States , and throe of them , Knox , Scott and McClollan , were candidates for president , but were not elected.

"Como In and have a smllo with mo , " said a learned young scientist as ho took the arm of a Now York Journal reporter and ushered him into a palatial cafe on Broadway. Sitting down at'one of the tables ho tapped the bell and inquired. "What are you going to ImvoV" "Beer" bald the newspaper1 man. The professor ordered something else for himself. The beer was brought. The beverage shone in the thin drinking glass like liquid gold , and the foam was us while as snow. It had so excellent a taste that the scribe was about to pour the remainder into his glass when the scientific man said , "Wait a moment , " and ho drew from his overcoat pocket a microscope and slide. Ho placed a few drops of the beer be neath the powerful ghibs and so arranged it that its magnifying powers were fo cus-bed on the malt liquor , turned the eye-piece toward his companion and di rected him to look. The reporter started back in astonish ment , so huge bcemed the multitude of bugs and wriirgling crawling creatures that ho gazed upon. "Great Scott ! What are these ? " ho ex claimed. "Bacteria , " replied the vis-a-vis. "You have already taken a few hundred thou sands of them. " The reporter grieved because his riend hud not made the revelation bo- fore. fore."O never mind , " said the professor lightly. "You drank only ono glass and I don't suppose that will hurt you very much. But did you over think a bottle of beer was moro crowded with living creatures than the most densely popu lated tenement house in New York ? " "Tho reporter confessed that he didn't and asked if such beer bacteria were harmful. "Of course , " was the reply. "I do not mean to condemn and decry all bottled beer , but lots of it is full of biich germs as these , invisible to the naked eye , which are the insidious promoters of dis ease in the system of anyone who drinks it. " The reporter began to feel squeamish but the professor assured him again that the binall quantity ho drank would not injure him and that the particular in sects ho had been tumbling somersaults under the microscope were not iceessar- | ily harmful. ' "Thifa little lesson of mine , " ho said , "just demonstrates that beer is full of germs , and the question as to whether the beer itself is liable to contaminate the drinker and kill him depends on how it is made and bottled. I may tell you plainly that there are bottled beers which it is absolutely unsafe to drink. I have taken samples of variou ; brands of beer , subjected them to an analysis , and found them thick with the most harmful sorts of bacteria. " "How was it that they came to bo af fected that way7 asked The Journal man. "Because of the water used in the brewing and bottling , " said the scientist. "Thoro was an article In the Morning Journal last Sunday which pictured in detail the horrible character of the water people drink hero. Well , bud water is the only water other communi ties have also , and the unwholesome germs that are in it taint the boor made in such cities.
