The plan of having the city pay for what
It gets In the way of attention and care
for the friendless who arc sick or In need
of surgical a d Is being strongly urged by
those Interested In the Woman's Christian
association and St. Bernard's hospitals ! In
the past the city has done a good deal of
sponging on these two Institutions. When
ever any one without friends or means
has met with an accident he has been taken
right to the hospital and cared for by the
management until he wns past the need ol
further assistance. Several years ago II
was customary for the city council to pay
all bills for suuli medical attendance , but ol
late the Ilnancc committee 1ms been refusing
to allow the bills , and the ladles , who find
It hard enough to make both ends meet
at bast , are compelled to do for charity's
sake what should rightfully be done by the
city.A .
A petition has been presented to the coun
cil asking that the sum of $25 per month
be laid as.dc out of the police fund each
month to keep a bed In constant readiness
for emergency cases at each of the hos
pitals. This petition has been referred tea
a committee with Instructions to confer
with the county board of supervisors. It
Is claimed that the object In thus referring
the petition was to let It drop out of sight
as soon as possible , but those who are agi
tating the matter say they mean to keep
after the council until the desired arrange
ment Is made.
Some of the city council claim that It Is
the duty of the county board to pay for all
such hospital service , but City Physician
Macrae sas that It Is a mistake. "The
county , " said he yesterday , "has to take
care of smallpox cas.es only , or cases of that
kind , where a patient , If allowed to run at
large , would be likely to endanger the health
of the community. In cases where a man
has broken his leg or mot with an Injury of
that kind , I have no right to take him to
either of the hospl'als and expect them to
take care of him for nothing. I have done
It before this , but I am not going to do It
any more. "

who demanded his "stuff. " Ho refused to
glvo It up , and they Knipplrl. A Bennett

fOMMER SNOWBALLS.
A Itoinarkublo I'liil that HUH Washington
liy tlio .Mouth.
With the mercury playing among the 90's
It seems remarkable to relate that Wash
ington Is Just now In the height of a snow
ball carnival. Snowballs are seen every
where , writes a correspondent. The windows
of every bake shop are filled with them , con
fectioners of high and low degree find It
profitable to advertise them , and they arc
hawked about the streets by men , women
and children. One boy , with an enterprise
which marks him for future business suc
cesses , has brought a goat and tiny cart Into
servlc ? , and goes about the city with n
generous supply of tills Washington delicacy.
As snow is not a product of tills climate ,
some explanation of this remarkable visita
tion would seem to bo necessary. The dis
covery was made by some unknown genius
early In the season that a ball of crushed
Ice plentifully besprinkled with essence of
vanilla or lemon or strawberry or choco-
Ute was a pretty good substitute for nec
tar such as the gods were supposed to be
fend of. He began manufacturing these
balls , and when the populat.on grasped the
Idea It took a fresh hold and called for
more. Now there Is almost an avalanche.
The originator of this Ingenious plan of
combining coolness , sweetness and stomach
trouble In one small ball may never get his
reward , but the dealers In candles , who find
their trade practically at a standstill with
the advent of the snowball , would bo willing
to unite and retire him from all connection
with munduno affairs.
"It Is astonishing I what a hold that In
fernal concoction has upon this community. "
sold a well known candy wholesaler to the
writer. "In all parts of the city our sales
have dropped off perceptibly since It started
on Its rounds ancf I , don't expect to see any
Improvement until cold weather comes. We
do all wo can to discourage the ealo of this
penny-catcher , but the children of the town
spent to bo wedded to It nnd their elders
encourage than. , possibly for the reason that
It Is cheap. I hotfc , y > see the craze die out
before the beginning , of another summer. "

The construction of the Niagara Falls
power plant for the transmission of elec
trical power to near and distant cities Is
generally regarded as a triumph of modern
Industrial enterprise. From the. Inception
of the undertaking to Its present partly
completed condition few of the doubting
Thomases appeared to question the ultimate
success of the plant , The backers of the
enterprise , men eminent In financial click's ,
en ployed the best available electrical talent
to determine the practicability of the undcr-
tnk'ng ' and on their favorable report millions
were put up to carry on the work.
Now that the enterprise Is nearly ready
to place Us product on the market the
qu'Etlon of cost becomes an Important one.
Iltiffalo Is fortunately so located that It will
undoubtedly reap the lion's share of the
benefit to How from reduced cost of power.
Dnt will It take a sufilcient amount at re
duced rates to pay Inter.st on the Invest
ment ? Will the rate per horse power be
sufllclently low to Induce manufacturers to
Mibstltutc electric for steam power ? These
questions me being discussed In Interested
quarters , but no satisfactory solution has
been offered. It Is contended that the
marketing of the product at distant points
as far as Albany will require the consump
tion of an amount sufilcient to Justify rates
against which steam power cannot success
fully compete.
Only one publication of Importance , Elec
tricity , of New York , ventures to question
tin- success of the Niagara Falls enterprise.
Its views are foitlfled by statistics to show
tl.nt In the matter of long distance trans
mission the Falls power plant Is doomed t
meet overu helming competition. Ek-clrlclt ;
points out that the cost of rendering th
power at Niagara available Is enormou
and can only bo rendered profitable by ur
er.oimous output. The estimated cost o
the plant Is $3,000,000. To pay 6 per cell
Interest on the Invested capital will require ai
annual Income of $18,000 , exclusive of nrnliv
tenance and losses by wear. The company
proposes furnishing pouer In Buffalo at th
rate of $1C a year per horse power for a
day of tw only-four hours. To pay the In
tercet alone will require the selling of 12,000
horse power. Until at least 15,000-horsc
power is sold at Niagara and Buffalo the
plant will be operated at a loss.
The moment long distance transmission
of high power Is a demonstrated fact the
Niagara enterprise will meet a competi
tor hitherto In the dark the culm banks
of Pennsylvania. These contain an almos
limitless abundance of fuel , requiring no
expense to develop. The screening of
anthracite mines accumulating for genera
tions can be utilized In manufacturing elec
tric power at exceedingly low cost. The
actual cost of power at the culm banks ,
near Scranton , Is 1.31 cents per horse power
per day , or J3.93 per year of 300 working
days. "If power costs $15 pr horse power
at Niagara Falls or half that , " says Elec
tricity , "and only $3.93 per horse power per
year at Scranton , or any other of the coal
mining towns , how Is Niagara to compete
with the culm bank over any territory of
the bame radius ? " S > racuse Is as nc.ir
Scranton as It Is to Niagara Falls , so that If
pou'tr Is not produced as cheap at Niagara
Falls as at the culm banks the latter would
drive the former out of Syracuse and all
points further east. "
Regarding waterfalls as sources of power
Electricity says : "Electricians we mean
electrical engineers have long since realized
that waterfalls as sources of power arc apt
to be Ignis fatul ; they look as though they
would furnish power for nothing , but too
often the Investment required to make them
available Is so great that the Interest on It
and the cost of maintenance make the
power cost more than It can be furnished for
by steam. "
LONG DISTANCE TROLLEY LINES.
Recent dispatches announced the organi
zation of a company for the purpose ot
building and operating trolley lines bftwe.n
Now York city and Philadelphia. The
projected system Is one of uncommon magni
tude. It Is not merely a single trunk line ,
but a network of roads , taking In and con
necting all tlie principal cities in New-
Jersey.
The direct line of the main stem of the sys
tem commences at Paterson , where connec
tions will be made with the electrical street
railway system of that city at the Delaware ,
Lackawanna & Western railroad station.
Leaving Patcrson the road will pass through
upper Montclalr , Montclalr , IllooindeldOrange ,
East Orange , West Orange , South Orange ,
Maplewood , Wyoming , Springfield , Westfleld ,
Mlllburn , Fanwood and Netherwood , to a con
nection with the present elec'rlcal railway
system In the city ot Plalnfleld , and thence
through Plalnfleld to Dunellen and Hound
Brook , crossing the track of the New Jersey
Central railroad at Flnderne. The road will
continue past Hlllsborough s'atlon on the
Lehlgh Valley railroad and Weston station
on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad ,
and through Millstone , Rocky Hill , Kingston ,
Princeton , Lawrcncevllle and Trenton
Branches will be run to various points. From
Trenton the road will pass through Morrls-
vllle , Tullytown , Bristol , Cornwells , Torres-
dale , Tacony , Holmesburg and Frankford ,
connecting at the latter point with the exist
ing lines into the heart of Philadelphia. It
will also connect at Trenton with a line to
bo built on the east side ot the Delaware to
Camden , running almost parallel with the
Amboy division of the Pennsylvania railroad ,
and passing through Bordcntown , Edgewatcr
Park , Beverly , Klverton , Palmyra , and thence
Into Camden by existing lines.
The entire system will comprise about 150
miles of electric railway. This electric rail
way enterprise Is to bo built , operated and
managed by two great corporations the Cen
tral Jersey Traction company , with a capital
of $500,000 , and the New York & Philadelphia
Traction company , with a capital of $10,000-
000.
PASSING OF THE HELLO GIRL.
If the recently organized Harrison Tele
phone company ot Chicago shall make good
Its claims there will be a revolution of the
telephone system of that city , which will
completely depose the present autocrat of
the wires , the "hello girl" of the ex
change.
The company , which has been Incorporated
with a capital of $1,000,000 , on which It ex
pects to earn dividends of 15 per cent , prom
ises , besides abolishing the gills , to reduce
the cost of telephonic service to less than
halt of what the Bell company charges , and
to do away with tolls. An officer of the com
pany thus sets forth Its plans :
"Tho company has been formed for the ex
press purpose of supplying telephonic service
In the city of Chicago and Cook county. Wo
will have ono central exchange for the entire
county , and there will be no connections at
substations. You can see- how one central
station will simplify and expedite business.
There will bo no tolls for surburhan towns ,
as Is the case now , and $60 per annum , Irro-
ipectlvo of piico or distance Inside the county ,
will bo our yearly tariff. ( The Boll com-
pany's rote In Chicago Is $126 per year. ) ;
Our plant will Include our Harrison telephone
and the automatic switchboard , on which wo
hold tlie patents. Each switchboard Is com
posed ot a dial capable of holding 40,000
numbers. A patron simply has to turn the
hand ot the dial to the number wanted. There
Is an Instantaneous connection made with a
larger switchboard In the central olllce , and
connection Is automatically made with the
number wanted. If that number happens to
be busy , the hand on the dial of the first
patron files back Immediately. There IK no
operator there half asleep or worn out for
caring for 100 different 'phones , no delays
and 'no back talk/ and what Is desired still .
more , no telephone girl to hear what you are
saying. You may transfer messages In abso
lute secrecy. "
"Will there bo no girls In the exchange ? "
"None ; and only a tew men sitting around
reudy to oil machinery und answer emer
gencies. " ;

Itsclf about the whole prlnc'pla of the modern
telephone , and with It may be performed a
series of experiments which , aside from being
Interesting , are wonderfully significant of
what we may expect from Its development
In the near future. Uy Its aid the footsteps
of a fly walking on the sand on which It Is
placed is clearly heard , and give the sensa
tion of a horse's tread ; and even a fly's
scream , especially at the moment of death ,
Is easily audible. The rustling of a feather
or a piece of dress goods on the board of
the Instrument , nnd completely Inaudible un
der ordinary circumstances , are distinctly
heard In the microphone. The ticking of
a watch is rendered very loud at quite a dis
tance from the receiver. A musical box
placed In connection with the Insltmncnt
transmits so much sound as to render it Im
possible to distinguish individual notes. A
current of air blown sharply on the Instru
ment sounds like a distant trickle of water.
And the rumbling cf a carriage outside the
house Is transformed Into n very Intense
crackling noise , not unllkn the sound of the
burning of pine logs.
The Instrument In appearance assumes
various shapes , Inasmuch as the very simplic
ity of Its principle admits of its being made
of various substances and in almost any
form. All that Is necessary fcr Its simple
working Is In having what U known tech
nically as "loose contact" that Is , an elec
tric circuit whose continuity at some point
Is capable of being varied. As an Instance ,
then , three nails make one of the best of
microphones. Two of the nails are laid on
a board parallel to each other , nnd say one-
half Inch apart. The other nail Is laid
across the first two , the latter being mean
time connected to a battery cell and a tele
phone receiver. If a fly , for Instance , Is
confined In a bmoll box , and the latter placed
on the U-anl on which the nails are laid ,
the slightest vibration caused by the move
ments of Its feet will render the unstable
contact of the. nails still more unsteady , and
by thus altering the force or amount of the
electricity which passes will reproduce In the
telephone receiver an exact but much mag
nified fac simile of what Is taking place In
the bjx.
AN ELKCTUIC FLOOU I'LANCU.
Applying the lawn mower principle to the
making of a planing tool a Scotch engineer ,
Malcolm Sutheiland of Dumbarton , has
designed a rather unique piece of ap
paratus , consisting. In brief , of an elec
trically driven revolving cutter , mounted In
a frame on rollers , which , by means ot
handles , can bo moved about In exactly the
same way and quite as eahlly , It Is claimed ,
IIB the gardin tool mentioned. The lawn
mower resemblance , In fact , Is perfect. The
fiame , or rather bate plate , Is of steel and
carries the cutter on Itb under sld" , while
the motor Is placed on top and drives the
cutter through Intervening gear wheels , giv
ing It a speed of 3,000 revolutions per
minute. The hind roller of the base
plate Is fUU < l with eccentric
Journals , ho that , by moving a lever , they
can bo raised or lowered and the depth of
cut nicely adjusted. The principal field of
tno machine the one , In fact , for which It
was specially designed Is the planing of
ships' decks , taking off the pitch und In
equalities ot the scams of deck plank after
being laid and calked. This work has
usually to bo done In circumstances of con
siderable Inconvenience and disagreeableness -
ness , the carpenter having to go down on
Ills knees , driving a Jack plane before him ,
together with wood shavings and other things
lets clean. Ordinary lloor planing , however ,
can obviously bo dona by the machine with
fully as good results , so that It Is not neces
sarily restricted to blilp yaid use.
