in the Frankfort plant. It seem *
that seine fopn of olllelent niter-
lulling current motor is noi-orf-
jsary for the utilization of power when
transmitted ovei longdistance. * . Direct
ourrent transmission , us the art now
Htand.f. in barred , owing to dtingei to
the insulation and enminutators if high
tension bo used , and is barred by the ex-
ee.ssivo cost of the conducting nwim If a
low tension bo relied upon. In the ex
periments in Germany an ollleieney of 71
per cent between the axle of tlio turbine
and tliu motor was realixed. This , low- )
ever , did not take into consideration
losses in the motor. The latter , how
ever , was very elllelcnt. though It prob
ably did not reall/e as high tin ellieteney
us IH possible with synchronous motors.
The lo-sos In the transformers were
very slight , and tlio line loss was
only ( I per cent for u distance of
110 miles. These favorable circumstances
marked out the alternating current as
the agency par excellence for distribu
tion tit long distances. One of the types
of motor developed during the past
year wns the Stanley-Kelly motor ,
which is designed to bo operated by a
hingle phase alternating current , the lag
due to self-inductiort being taken out of
the Held magnet , by means of condensers ,
which have the property of giving a lead ,
nnd thus tlio lag created by self-indue-
lion in the field magnet is counteracted.
Tliche motors have not yet gone into
practical use. but if the promises made
by their promoters are realixed they
will doubtless meet with a largo share of
Hucness. Oilier types of alternating cur
rent motors have been developed during
the past year by Hradley and others ,
who were early at work in this Held.
! Mr. Hradley is one of the pioneers In tlio
art of triphase transmission , which was
Hie typo of system adopted in ( Jerniany.
Tin- Niagara riant
In is probable that tlio polyphase sys
tem of transmission and some form of
polyphase motor will bo adopted in the
plant now in course of construction at
Niagara Falls.Vhether the system
will ho liUMMl upon inventions developed
in this country or upon those which
Imvc been exploited abroad it is impos-
bible at the present writing to say. The
gigantic diameter of the undertaking
at Niagara falls lends great interest to
that enterprise. Tlio turbines on the
American side will be capable of deliver
ing 125,000effective horse flower by
water passing through a tunnel
0.700 feet in length. It is expected
that water power will bo furnished at
this plant about the end of March , ISO.'l.
Tlio rates announced for power are $10
per horse power for f > ,000 horse power
or over ; SlO.fiO for 4oOO horse power ; * 11
for -1,000 horse power , and so on to $21
for I00 ! horse power , all for twenty-four
hour power if wanted , the cost of or
dinary steam power for a ton-hour day
ranging from $ ! i > to10. . It is proph
esied that all this power will bo utfed up
in local manufacturing establishments.
Plans are also afoot to erect a plant on
the Canadian side of the falls and to
utilize It in the operation of a number ol
railways extending for u distance ol
twenty-live to bl.xty miles , the towns anil
cities in the neighborhood being lighted
by the system. The Canadian plant IK
intended to bo operated on the polyphase
plan with 2i,000 volts.
Klrctrlu Lighting.
Ono of tli chief events of interest ii
electric lighting during the pastyeai
, was the decision reached in the pro
trnctcd legal controversy over tlio bash
patent on the incandescent lam ] ) . Tin
milt was based upon patent No. 22,8)8 ! ! )
issued to Thomas A. Kdison in 1880
Tlio efforts of others in the art prior tr
Edison's advent , notably Dr. Adams , win
made experimental lamps , Crookes , whc
made radiometers and other devices
inclosed in high vacua , Star , Huberts
Woodward , Farmer and -others , It wa-
contended , rendered the Kdison pateni
invalid , but this contention was met bj
these arguing in favor of the rMinoi
patent , who successfully urged tint
prior to the construction of tin
Edition lamp no tllamont of earboi
properly so considered had been usei
in tin all-glass globe from which the ail
hud Iwcn thoroughly exhausted , and ii
was urged that Edison's efforts had re
milted In success , whereas all the prioi
olTorts to produce an Incandescent lamj
had led to failure. The court , in making
itn decision , sustained the views of those
advocating the validity of the patent
nnd gave the patent a broad construc
tion , covering substantially a carbon
illamcnti in an all-glass vacuous glolx
provided with conductors leading
through the glass. Although the paten
lias but a few years to run In this conn
try , In view of foreign patents whlcl
were taken out , It will probably lent
to strenuous efforts to develop othei
types of incandescent lamps. Ono bin
already been brought forward by tin
We.stinghouso company , comprising i
jointed structure In which u glass steppe
carrying the filament is accurately llttei
to the stem of the bulb , the joint bolnj
scaled with some sort of paste. It I
claimed that this lamp will yield gooi
Borvitx and is cheaper to construct thai
the kind generally used , and is inuul
cheaper In use by reason of the fact thu
when its' ' tllamont wears out it eai
readily bo repaired by reason of tli
ability to take out tlio stopper.
Several Interesting Improvements ii
llghtnlm ; arresters have been made , on
especially worthy of note , by reason of i
newly discovered property Involved ii
its operrttlon , Is that invented by Mr
Alexander \Vurts. Mr , Wurts dlscov
urcd that zinc , antimony , bismuth am
their compounds , huvo a peculiar proji
crty of blowing out an arc , or rather preventing
venting the formation of an are. If twi
cylinders of any of these metals ar
placed about a sixty-fourth of an luol
npart the passage of the lightning dl
charge is permitted , but no arc wll
form. If they are put further apart th
phenomenon of preventing the arc dee
not take place , Thu apparatus is ID
tended to bo of service in protecting dy
minion against damaging effects of light
nlng , being used in combination with u
ordinary lightning arrester , ami prc
venting an are from forming uoroaa th
two plntoa of the latter and ciumlng u
ground for the dynamo.
The development in ino.st bram-hen of
the art has been rather of u commercial
than of an Inventive character during
the past year. A largo number of
patents have , of course , beuii taken out ,
but they relate mostly to Improvements
upon systems or devices which had tlfelr
birth at an earlier period. One Ingeni
ous application recently mtulo "with
electricity Is in the treatment of Iron
and steel castings. An arc Is used In a
freshly poured casting to retard solidi
fication , giving the metal u cltanco to
chill slowly and to become dense and
homogeneous , nnd affording an oppor
tunity for all gases to escape by reason
of theslow cooling mining machinery.
Mining apparatus has made rapid
commercial strides during the past year ,
and several Interesting inventions huvo
been brought out for the operation of
drills and coal-cutting machinery. A
number of very pretty Inventions have
been made by'.Marvin , In which two dif
ferential phase alternating currents are
ntilixed to reciprocate a drill. These
currents are passed through two cells ,
placed one nbovo the other , and a vibra
tory movement of tlio polar line is cre
ated by means of the fluctuation of the
consequent pole , duo to the changing
vulue-i of the alternating current. A
device similar to an electric drill in Its
general operation is a sculptor's tool
used for chipping marble or other stones.
This also has a reciprocating core or
plunger , magnetically actuated to and
fro , and controlled by a suitable switch.
IMcctrlc Kalhvav * .
Kleetrie railroads have continued
their rapid advance during tlio year.
The trolley system still leads , for the
reason that it is the cheapest to con
struct and the mo t snccersful in its op
eration. The senseless objection against
the alleged inartistic effect of trolley
wires is fading away. Conduit systems
have not made any commercial headway
and the storage battery has been con
fined to a limited number of- plants ,
where , however , It Is said to give
good satisfaction. The develop
ment of the storage battery in
this country has been handicapped
by the vigorous litigation in reference
tii the controlling patents , and now that
the question has been settled by a de
cision of the highest court , awarding
priority to Brush and sustaining his
broad patents , doubtless storage bat
teries will cover a wider Held of useful
ness. In Kngland they are largely ap
plied as auxiliaries to dynamo machines
in central station work , and there is no
reason why they should not find a simi
lar Held of usefulness in this country.
By October I of this year there were in
operation or under contract ! ( > ! ) electric
roads , equipped with " , " < ) ! ) motor
cars and : ! ,7)0 ! ) trolley cars , and
involving over " > ,4-li ( miles of
track and carrying annually over
1,000.000.000 of passengers. It is evi
dent that the electric railroad has come
to stay. The roads already under eon-
tract involve a capital stock of about
$20i,000.000. ( Largo cities are rapidly
falling into line , St. Louis , Baltimore ,
Minneapolis , St. Paul , Buffalo , Roches
ter , Boston and Brooklyn being already
equipped , with New York and Philadel
phia looming up close in the foreground.
\Vo have now several types of motors for
operating electric cars. The old double
reduction style is largely giving way to
the single reduction , involving simply
two gear wheels and to a newer typo
called the "gearless'1 motor , in which
the armature is mounted upon a sleeve
loosely surrounding the axle and operat
ing directly upon the axle or the wheel.
The gcarlo-is motors are generally of
a multi-polar typo so 113 to develop a
high counter electro-motor force at low
speed.
Underground railways are meeting
with favor. London , as is well known ,
has ono in practical and successful oper
ation. Another is contemplated , and
lias been authorized by Parliament ,
which will cost $6,000,000 , , bo three miles
long and have two tunnels sixty feet below -
low the surface. Ono has been in pro
gress in Paris , estimated to cost about
54,000,000 francs. It will bo six and one-
tenth miles in length , the whole system
being underground except a short stretch
at the Bassin do 1'Arsenul. The tunnel
is to bo 1.5 motors below the level ol
the street on an average. The powoi
station will bo centrally located and have
a capacity -4,000-horso power , water
power from a canal furnishing a part ol
this capacity.
Underground Transit.
Berlin is also on the cards for an un
derground railway , having two lines in
tersecting at right angles , covering the
city , and tied together by two circular
bolt lines , all underground. It will be
constructed on the Greuthead system ol
oval tubes 115x10 feet , twenty-live feet
below the surface. The trains will run
at threo-minuto intervals. The cost ol
the road will bo about * : ! ,000,000.
New York city , as is commonly known ,
is also likely to have an underground
road. The conditions of the franchise
liavo already been published. The rouil
must bo operated by electricity or sonic
other power not requiring combustior
In the tunnel , and must bo completed
between City Hull and the Harleir
river within four years.
Tlio electrical exhibition held at the
Crystal Palace , London , was a decided
success.
( treat preparations have been iiiuklnji
for a line display of electrical Industrie.
at the World's fair to bo hold in Chi
cugo.
Electric elevators for use in resideii
cos are coining into use and meeting
with u favorable reception.
The price of aluminum gradually do
dines as electricity is brought to aid it
its reduction. A basic patient in this
art was issued to Charles S. Bradloj
during tlio year , covering the fusion o
aluminum ore and itsolectrolytiodecom
position by means of an electric current
Hlcctricity is mooting with a liberu
application In tanning. A tannery ii
Franco has tin output of 1.002,000 poundi
of leather ; two in Portugal yield 1-IOO ,
000 pounds of leather ; ono in Braxll Inn
u capacity of 140,000,000 pounds. I
is claimed that us good a grade o
leather can be made In four days by tin
electric process as required ten urn
twelve months by the old process , am
yet the machinery outllt for 4r > 00,00 <
pounds of leather per annum does no
exceed $8,000.
Telephony , telegraphy , and , indeed
all the electric arts , have increased th
limits of their activity during the year
A great boom was given h ng dlstanc
telephony by the successful operation n
the line between Now York and Chicagc
u length of 1,000 miles. This line i
now in operation and conversations cube

One of the greatest curiosities in th

the county scat \Vlmicsheik county
Tills unique curiosity Is indeed a natum

year , being especially line in summoi
particularly when the weather Is he
and dry outside. The bluff In which th
cave Is located Is Iwtween 200 and 4C
feet In height , It being necessary t
climb about seventy-live feet up thu ski
of thu binIV to reach the mouth of th
cave. The entrance is u llssuro tibou
ten foot in width and between fifteen an
twenty feet in height , from which u coi

KINO KEL ON THE STAGE.
Amnslnc Dricrlptlnii of IIU Iterrnt Debut
In Ni'tv Vork.
Mike Kelly , the great baseball player
began bis metropolitan career as an
"actor' * last week , and the New York
World gives an elaborate account of the
event. Kelly hit ono or two staccato
notes , it said , and hit them so hard that
ho drove them through the sky
light. Mike does not know a staccato
from a stack of reds , but ho hits
them just the same. The bleachers
p In the gallery shouted and howled
ntll they grew red in the face. The
ohorts down In the grand stand up-
ilauded until the Imperial welkin rang ,
'ho welkin is downstairs , too. All this
utnult caused Mlko to walk out to the
lomo plato and bow his. acknowledg-
nents.
In the meantime the umpire down in
he orchestra waved his baton frantically
mil called Kelly safe. Otherwise ho
night not have been safe. Mike was not
i thing of beauty , but he made the hit of
ho season. Of course , Mlko has not the
olce of Tiunugno. Neither has Tu-
nagno the make-up of Kelly. There-
ore it is boss and boss.
From the time the orchestra piped up
m the 'ripening overture the audience
> egan to grow impatient. Every
Ingor that eamo to bat was ap-
iluudod and every acrobat that struck
mt was laughed at. It was a
eng game , full of exciting plays. Kelly
nine up in the sixteenth inning. There
vas a twang and a whang of fiddles , a
brick of cornets and whatnots , and out
iiinio Kelly on a slide to the plato.
IIo looked at the umpire and the urn-
tire looked tit him. 13 : > th smiled. Mike
'time ' without his hat. You know Kelly
ihvays loses his hat when running bases.
Somebody threw it to him from the
vings and the game proceeded. There
vas another man on rtecle and he
lolped Mike sing. IIo could not
iing half as well as Kelly , but the
ludicucc did not know it , because the
audience could not hear Mike sing. Both
ilayors had rolls of music in their hands
'or bats. This is why they got on to the
orchestra's curves. Kelly was dressed
"n high-water tennis trousers , with legs
ike oar-trumpets and several marks of
Jain on their brow. His shirt was cut
Vom a section of red-striped sunset and
.he buttons of his blue frock coat were
nixed in their dates. Ono of the bleach
ers looked at his emaciated straw hut
ind yelled : ' 'Brown the wheats1 ! Then
Mike looked reproachfully over toward
third base.
The shortstop was a slim girl , who
kept both her eyes right on the name.
The Holders stood in the background bo-
ilnd the brae railings.
After regarding his Held for a moment
Kelly hitched up his' trousers , looked
lown at the pitcher with the little Hddlo
ind said sternly ;
"Play bull ! "
The lirst ball of music was an inshoot.
[ yolly cut the air witlia baritone swipe
and started for first with his companion ,
singing neck and neck. The first effort
was called "My Sweetheart's the Man in
; ho Tombs. " Occasionally Kelly would
variegate the piece by asserting that his
sweetheart was the man in the saloon ;
but the audience did not mind it. Then
lie would turn the music and look for a
[ rcsh note , but ho could not find any.
The audience did not mind that either.
Anything that Kelly did was all right.
Finally Mike got kittenish and began
to act right out. Ho cast an eye up at
the first bub'o girl , but she fumbled it.
Then ho throw a note or two nt the
short stop , who blushed and looked shy.
Mike and his pacemaker ranted around
the bases and then retired to the bench
in the wings. In a little while Kelly
came to the bat again. Ho looked
around the diamond and paid : "Well ,
I see you are all there yet. "
Then with his hands behind his back
and a palpable frog in his throat Kelly
began to recite "Cusoy at the Bat. " All
the efforts of Do Wolf Hopnbr wore
never in it. Do Wolf would have rent
his hair in envious anguish and Edwin
Booth would not have been "one , two ,
three. " The short stop turned pale at
the tragic I'ecitul and the first base girl
applied herself industriously toherbotlle.
After Mike finished and the umpire
called "Time , " Kelly stopped to the
plate and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen : I thank you
all for this very kind reception , because I
think they put this gang onto me. and I
don't know what I'm doing. They
dressed mo up in this new suit of clothes
and it rattlcimo. . Como around to
morrow night and I'll do better , "
A Hiillro.ul Unlit on ! < > c.
The communications between the two
shores of the St. Lawrence river at Mon
treal are made , as is known , by means of
the Victoria tubular bridge , constructed
thirty-five years ago. which is the longest
in the world , the metallic spun being
0,500 , feet long.
But from this point to the Atlantic ,
for a distance of 1,000 miles , there is no
other bridge and all the railroads estab
lished on both sides of the St. Lawrence
huvo necessarily to cross it. The com
pany of the Grand Trunk railroad ,
which built it , levies a right of way
toll of $10 per car and eight cents per
passenger.
To avoid payment of these moneys the
S. E. railroad company had the idea ,
some ton years ago , of constructing in
winter a communication between the twc
shores by means of a railroad established
on the Ico. Kvory winter the work is
done over again and it amply pays for
the outlay. The length of this ice road
Is about two miles , between Ilochelagu
and Longucil.

CCiitCAoei , 111. , Jnn. 28. "Is It a shako out or
fell out ? " was the qiie-stlim on the Hoard ot
Trndu today. Thu wheat market ntthostnrt
was e.xi'ltIng and wild on rumors thnt the lilg
Cudaby fnctlon was about to dump Us big
lioldlngM. This rumor had It * origin In the
story that Cudnhy's brokers had bought from
7.000,000 to H.000,000 puts oil the curb
last night and the conclusion was jumped nt
that the clique's wheat would be for sale to
day nnd thnt the puts wcro to limit the losses
Everybody seemed to have wheat for snlo at
the tap ot the bell , l.ongs made haste to un
load and the bottom went out and short
sellers were frantic to get out short lines be
fore the gieat break was on.
In the evcltemcnt the market went off "c
from the close last night , when liquidation
having been very thorough , there was a halt
and the panting traders stopped to take
bieath , and the selleis were congratulating
one another on having gotten out of their way.
Hut their self-complaisance got n sudden
shock when nearly a do/en well known btok-
crs of the clique jumped Into the pit and began
totakoall the wheat that was offered. The
revulsion In seiitliyent was Instantaneous.
Men looked at each oilier In bewllderjneut and
shouting , "tricked again " rushed to buy eiaclc
what they had so recklessly sold out a few
minutes before. There was another scene of
wild confusion and rally of 1'fc.
The tumult continued throughout the day ,
sentlmenl Iliictuatlng with rumots , and at the
close the crowd wassllll In doubt whether It
bad been the victim ot a "sell out , " or a "shako
out. " Some declare that It was n scurvy trick-
on the part of the clique to create a panic and
enable It to buy another big Hue of wheat , as
It hud sold out the latger part of Its holdings
on yesterday's bulge.
A fanciful story was current purporting to
explain the whole secret. Cudaby got bncU
fiom Clnclnatl yesterday with u very bad
cold , according to this tale. IIo was fearful of
pneumonia and having a largo amount of
wheat , he protected It by tints. Today he felt
better and his bull Instincts are now upper
most. Inothe last hour of trading I'ardrldgo
took the lead and offered wheat In .suchenorm-
ous qualities that the spirit , of the crowd was
again bioken. The market ruled feverish and
Irregular toward the close. Leaving off ' 1C
from the bottom or l"e under the prlco
closed at yesterday.
Corn and oats 'averaged strong , but quiet ,
within a narrow latigeand wound up V under
their respective closing values on 1'rlday.
I'rovltion.s , after an early decline , started up
and closed strong , May pork reaching the sen
sational price of Mel n barrel. That May pork
would touch the tecord breaking J20 figure
was not expected at the close yesterday. Hut
the general trade got thrown olT the track by
an easier market this morning. Although the
bogs at the yards fell short ( if 10,000 , prices
for some leasons were not marked up nt the
yards. This started a great many longs to
taking piolits. Aii equal amount of soiling
was done by tboso Vrho were willing to go short
for a reaction. About tin hour before tbeclose
the screws were put on again. The shorts
were quickly foiced to cover. May pork-ad
vanced straight to WO.
The hogs receipt * for the week were but
1111,000 ago 210,000 last week. The close ,
which was at the top ligures , showed a gain
slnco last night ofC.icfor pork and 7'jc for
lard and ribs , S. A. Dunham for several days
past was thu heaviest buyer of pork and opin
ion was divided iis to whether bis purchases
weio for Armour > \ ; Co. or for X. II. Hcani.
Kstlmated receipts for Monday : Wheat , 230

200,000 shares were monopoll/.ed by the three
leading Industrials , leaving only OH.OOO for the

IndustilaR The exports of gold today
and the assurance of further largo ship

were only slightly changed fromthosoof last

The general cattle market this week has
lieen rather "sway hacked. " Monday and
Tuesday's trade was rather brisk and firmer :
Wednesday and Thursday prices went off
10c to'lie ( in all hut tin1 M'ry best grade1 * ,
while /'ilday ami Saturday the trade brai'cd
up and a good share of the decline was re
gained. There have been no notlceablo
changes In the main features of the cattle
tradn und the recent break was only temporary
ary and due to the surplus , , f Inferior cattle ,
both here and lit other market centers.
linslness today was active and stronger from
the start. Kuceipts were coiniiarallvcly light
lighter than dealers generally were antici
pating and with favorable eastern advices and
an Improved demand from speculators , ship
pers and for tlu < llrst lime In months a good
export demand trade was lively and all decent
grades scored a substantial advance. Iteallv
loppy beeves wern not here , but the general
quality of the cattle weighing 1,100 Ibs. and
upwards was above tlio average. Good 1'JOi )
to 1,400-1' ) . beeves sold at from $1.40 up to
$5.00 with fair to good 1,000 to l.lfiO-lb. steers
at from M.H5 lo$4.2. > . It was very common
stuff that bad to sell at KI.70 or under. It was
a good healthy trade throughout and the
forenoon's trading about exhausted thu offer
Ings.
e ows sold strong to a dime higher than Fri
day. There were only about foity loads on
safe , and although the demand was almost en
tirely local , it was good enough to readily absorb
serb the meager offerings. A bunch of fancy
0 4-lb. heifers sold for $1,00 , but aside from
tbcso good cow.s and hulfer.s sold at from $2UO
to i3. do ; fair to good stuff sold largely at from
JJ.-10 to $2,80 , and common and can nlng grades
at from $1.7.1 to if'J.35. There was a good , brisk
demand for rough stock and the e.xtrcmo
rangeof prices was from J1.90 to J4/JO. Com
mon toholco veal calves sold at llrmer prices
from $2.00 to $0.00.
lluslnc.ss was rather quiet In the stockcr and
feeder line. Them was no very urgent
country demand , but yard speculators took
the fresh offerings freely at good .strong prices ,
The universal conlldence In the future fat
cattle market Isnonhero more apparent than
In thu unusually active demand for good feed
ing cattle. These are selling at such high
prices that fatcattle values will huvo to 1m-
provo very materially before feeders can re-
tillzc a ptoflt.
