The game was a warm one. and neither Bide scored. The third attempt within a few weeks was made Satuiday morning to rob the till at the Mint saloon. A young man employed about the place came In early and catching the alleged thief In the building chased him up stairs and out upon the roof , from which he made his escape to the ground. The 4 o'clock service nt St. Paul's yester day afternoon was not largely attended , prtfbably owing to the fact that the new or der of things was not very well known.

Last Saturday the supreme court of Iowa rendered a decision In life case of Edmund Llndscy , appellant , against Boone county , which Is of considerable Interest to the people - plo of 1'oltawat'tamlo county as well , from the now light which It throws upon the busi ness of buying property At tax sale. The plaintiff bought a piece of property at tax sale 'In Boone county and brought action to recover the amount paid the county because he has not received anything by his purchase on nccoutn of the defective description of the land. It Is held by the court that ho cannot recover because he took his chances when ho paid the taxes ; ho did , so voluntarily and assumed all risks , for , as In Judicial sales , there Is no warrant In the bales , " and there can bo no recovery , except for the amount of the taxes paid , and Interest , where land has been sold on which no tax was due , or where such land Is sold In consequence of an error In the description in the receipt , which was not true of this case. The action also asked for recovery for subsequent taxes paid. The court says : "A purchaser at a tax sale must beware. The description of the premises Is open to h' ' Inspection , and he buys just as the county offers to give. If It Is not suf ficient to carry the title he need not buy , So with reference to the subsequent taxes , ho has the right to pay them , but Is not compelled to do so. If he does , the pay ment Is voluntary , and no action will le to recover It back. The subsequent taxes were not paid through a mistake , nor was there any fraud In the transaction. ' So the tax speculator must be content with his bargan. In Memory ot Sin. Mumnm.

The commissioners arc Colonel Barlow , United States army ; Lieutenant Galllard , United States army , and Mr. Mossman of the United States coast and geodetic survey. Their staff , of engineers , soldiers nnd laborers numbers about eighty. For two years and a half this party has been In the field erecting the monuments and resurveylng the boundary line , which was originally established by Commissioner Emery from 1849 to 1853. The fifty-two monuments then erected have been supplemented by 20G more , which are for the most part plain Iron shafts on rock and cement foundations. By agreement with Mexico any errors discovered In the original survey by the present commission shall not bo corrected , so far as ownership of territory Is concerned. Few errors have been found In the first survey. The largest was along the New Mexico boundary , where by Uncle Sam gains nearly forty square mtls of land which the new survey shows to bo In Mexico.

Moro than once the tasks , the horizons , the hopes of men have been forever trans formed by a discovery or , an Invention which seemed at Its birth a very small matter. Thus waa It when an Iron needle , afloat per haps In a cocoanut , first safely guided a ship out of sight of land and sky. Thus , again , was It when charcoal , saltpeter and sulphur wcro first combined and fired In a gun , to leave thereafter the iloutest soldier weak Indeed who should be shorn of his powder flask. And when Guttenberg divided the solid lines ot engraved metal Into separate letters , or movable types , as we say , did ho suspect , do you suppose , that ho was usherIng - Ing In the democracy of learning ! As big with fate as the types of Guttenberg was the devlco made public by Alexander Volta of Pavla In the very first year of this con tury. This contrivance was a new nnd ex cellent meansof obtaining a flow of elec tricity. Previously In a "pile , " as this In. genlous man , Its Inventor , called It , n cur rent had been derived from a series ot pieces ot zlno and copper , each bit ot metal sepa rated from Its neighbor by cloth moistened In acid. . Volta had now much Improved this "pile" by putting each zlno and copper pair by Itself In a cup filled with add. From this "crown of cups" he produced a strong and fairly steady stream of c'ectrlclty , with the advantage that It lasted frr a consider able time. Much as the cup or cell ot Volta has been varied and bettered since It loft his hands , It yet remains essentially the device he created , and to him , therefore , Is due the honor of reducing to vatsalage the gentlest and mightiest , the most versatile und the most biddable force In the stronghold of na ture. It Is the voltaic cell which has taught the electrician his business , with the result that today tt finds Itself In large measure supplanted ; where once It reigned monarch It Is now merely a partner possessed of a small and diminishing Interest. The distinctive mark of a really great In ventlon Is Us frultfulneEfl. The voltaic cell was no mere addition to the armory of ex ploration and conquest ; It entered the field with all the fertility of a multiplier ; It mar ried old resources with the Issue of powers before unimaginable ; It gave familiar weapons a new edge , and pointed them to triumphs not only easier than the old , but vastly richer In spoil. If science In the nineteenth centurv has won victories more decisive than those of the eighteen centuries before. It Is largely because electricity has been captured and Impressed for n thousand new services. And thus It oombs about that as inventions of prime 'dignity now make their appearanca at moro frequent Intervals than ever , the pace of scientific progress is quickened prodigiously , and the history of Industrial art becomes llttlo lelss than story of chronic revolution. Priceless as the voltaic cell has been hi the past , and valuable as It pontluues to be , Its field Is narrowly limited In that It feeds on costly zinc. Electricity has only come to Its kingdom by reducing itsjtax to a reasonable lew payable In coal. The , dynamo , which enables this tp , be done , jhlngcs upon a faci observed by Oersted sixty yenra ago namely that If a magnet be moved near a piece 01 metal , preferably a cell , ot' copper wire , a current of electricity Is p'rotJujed In the cell This discovery of Oersted's 'is Illustrated It every electro-magnet ItS core is simply a bit of soft Iron until you bfinjr J ( very' nearer or make It ( ouch a steel -riiagHbt. ' 'Then"fo an Instant , as" the coro"1 > gcomeg magnetic you excite electricity In- the wlro surround Ing your , electro-magnet : You pay for tha electric pulse In the forcible pull requlrei to separate the electro-magnet nnd the stee magnet from each other , Replace this effor of the hand by the might of an engine , will correspondlnc Increase in the size and 1m provement In , the form of your magnets am cells , nnd your little experiment merges Int building and driving a dynamo. Toda- dynamos of the best design give out In thi form of electricity 92 per cent of their en glnes * power ; their Improvement Is so un likely as to be unsought. Although the en cine which turns the dynamo wastes at IU best fully 90 per cent of the furnace heat the dynamo Is nevertheless Incomparablj cheaper than a battery of cells when elec trlclty Is to be produced wholesale. Th emancipators , then , of the current release at this hour for new and myriad uses , ar the mechanicians who have brought th dynamo to Its present pitch of perfection and the engineers , who , with their trip ] and quadruple steam cylinders , ask hardl more than a pound of good coal to deliver horse power for an hour. If to these me electric art and science owe much , magnlfl cently has the debt been repaid. First an cheafly the current rotates the electric motor which Is llttlo else than a dynamo reverset THE DYNAMO , With the Introduction of the dynamo and the motor a new day has dawned In the workshop nnd factory. As we find out In replacing at our street door an.old-fashloned moving bell pull by a motionless wire armed with Its push button , electricity can transmit motion without any movement on the part of the transmitting wire. Availing himself of this golden property , the' ' machinist removes from his shop a wilderness of whirling wheels and belts , and puts In their place a few wires at rest , each of which enters the electric motor which drives a particular machine. Manifold gains resu't. Tliero Is a saving of power , often enormous , required to keep going the multitude of needless wheels and belts. it was once found at the Waltlmm watch factory that three-quarters of the en gine's power was absorbed by shafts and gearing without a single machine being har nessed for duty. And where one machine among many Is to bo set at work by Itself , especially at a distance from the engine , the loss In the mechanical conveyance of Its power becomes Inordinate ; this loss Is almost wholly avoided with eectrlcal transmission. More benefits still : The factory building light ened of much of its burden , and subjected to a good deal leas vibration than before , can be safely constructed with thinner walls. while Its rooms become lighter , cleaner nnd more cheerful In every way. Electricity Is of all forms of farce the one most easily kept by Itself , that Is , preserved from losses resembling either leakage or friction. Hence , a current cannot only 'distributed through out a workshop with the Utmost convenience and economy , but It cat > jbpjsent to a work shop from an engine orya water wheel many miles away. Today Niagara Is yoked to the wheels and lamps ot'Buffalo , and In famous experiments at Iia\iffen , Germany , in 1891 , electricity was carried 10 miles with a loss of only 28 per cent 'I That wonderful achievement , however , thaWdd what can bo done at a pinch , rather than what It Is safe and proper to do as a jthernl thing a cur rent ot frightful Intensity traa taken through the air on wires with no other safeguard than a death's ' head andTA'crpss bones , nailed to each pole. Until Ihji ijresenl gigantic feat at Niagara , It ha/'seldom * / been found profitable to transmit waters poxver by elec tricity much further | h ftj0twenty miles. Where fuel Is dear , as In the mountainous districts of Arizona , tljU distance can be much exceeded , But wMertf coal Is cheap the constant Improvements'm steam and gas engines make them less'and less expensive as prime movers ; this. . Vihllo the ordinary power Is apt to be Irregular In flow , and asks a considerable outlay to make it available , LONG DISTANCE TRANSMISSION , With the transmission of electricity for distances vastly moro than twenty miles we ; have long been familiar In the telegraph. It Is by improving the coverings which pre - vent a current oozing from Its wire , by rais - ing the intensity of a current ten-fold , 8r 8a more ; and above all , by Increasing Its quan tity so as to make the enterprise worth : while , that the telegraphy of power has ad - vanced step by step fromtha telegraphy ol mere blgnals.

There la much the tame ayitcm ot relaysIn long distance telegraphy. A mes sage , let us say , from New York to San Kranclaco , goes first as fat as Duffalo ; nt that city the Now York current , very weak alter Its Journey ot 110 miles , touches off a second and poweiMl current originating tn Buffalo , -which. In Its turn , takes the dis patch to Chicago , There a third current en ters Into the task , and BO on , until , at the end ot a succession ot transfers , the words spelled tn New York arc clicked out In Ban Francisco. The whole process Is committed to self-acting repeaters that do their work In a small fraction ot n second. It Is In pulling triggers In euch fashion as this that electricity brings to machinery something very like a nervous system , so that an Im pulse of the feeblest can direct and control the most ponderous wheels and lovers. Doth workman and artist arc thus permitted to reserve their strength for tasks more profita ble than sheer muscular exertion. And yet , from force of habit , the exchange ot labor for ease Is not always welcome. When an old-fashioned pipe organ Is fitted with elec tric keys the performer , freed from the slightest physical strain , has at first an un pleasant sense ot duly Icfi undone. Marvelous are the automatic devices that have sprung un In the wake of electricity. A torpedo , for example , can bo lifted , lowered , propelled , steered , stopped , and ex ploded through wires which end under the finger of Its commander , n mile or two away. In fact , It Is perfectly feasible for Its director to give nil his orders In advance and build a torpedo which will take a course and tuinil a fate of both murder and suicide , prear ranged In Its springs and magnets , RAPID TELEGRAPHY. In the service of cither war or peace one would Imagine the ordinary telegraph to be speedy enough. Not so thinks the Inventor In "rapid" teleuraphy a message finds Its way from New York to Chicago at the rate of 150 or more words a minute. The dispatch Is taken first tea a machine , which expresses each let ter In perforations on a paper ribbon ; this ribbon Is then driven botwcu two pairs of light metallic springs ; at every perforation these springs for an Instant come together , nllowlntr a current to take lt& path through the telegraph wlro. At the receiving sta tion mechanism of much the same pattern , but reverted in direction , translates the Im pulses Into the familiar Morse alphabet. In thus dividing the task between an operator and an automatic machine , Intelligence Is given that part only for which Intelligence Is required , and for the remaining part the utmost speed of electric apparatus is Invoked a fS'ecd which , It Is scarcely necessary to say , far outstrips that of the most expert telegrapher. Among the many systems of rapid telesraphy that Invented by Delaeour and Dclany dpscrves to be mentioned for Its uncommon Ingenuity. To understand It , let us glance for a moment at an everyday application of electricity Its use In making the pendulums of a score or a hundred clocks keep perfect step , no matter how far apart they are. In sending an ordinary dis patch an operator occupies the line for but a small fraction of the time. The "phonic wheel" devised by Delaeour and Delany for one-sixth of the time gives him the line ex clusively precisely as If no other operator were engaged upon It. Because six phonic wheels at each end of a line keep step , the particular sixths ot two wheels told oft for the sendlnc and the receiving ot a message co operate without the slightest confusion. Over a single wire six telegrams can therefore travel In company \\lth no jostling whatever. At the Inception of the telegraph In England , no fewer than five wires \\ere demanded to convey but one message. Wcatherbeaten strips of wood , showing these flvo wires se curely embedded , attracted no little attention at the British electric exhibit at the Colum bian fair. To return for a moment to the electric clock. We can. If we please , seal it up In a glazed boK , so as to exclude dust , Insects and rust-creating dampness. Here a path opens to the inventor who wishes to shun the resistance \\lflch a rod or a wire \\ould encounter it It had to move throughout Its whole- length In actuating a valve , a steam Indicator , or any similar mechanism. H Is often of Immense Importance that a bit of metal at rest can throb with a pulse strong enough "to do severe drudgery. Three years ago anj engineer wished to know precisely how much heat diffused Itself through the wall ot a steam cylinder. A motionless wire , hidden In the metal of the cylinder and con nected with a delicate electric thermometer , answered his question as It otherwise could not have been answered , for there was no Impediment from friction or other source ot error. In a task very different from the saving of heat , the engineer owes an other debt to electricity the telephone en ables him to detect flaws In beams and shafts to which , In the construction of bridges and locomotives , are to be committed the safety of human lives. LIGHT AND HEAT. Electricity , light , heat and chemlc force arc lu all their essence mo'tlon. They differ doubtless somewhat as the movement of a screw propeller diners from that of the water wave which circles out from It , eras as the waves vary from one another In length and height. Hence it is that elec tricity can be tlie. source or Issue of any ot Its kindred , and its peculiar sensitiveness makes It a means ot surpassing delicacy In measuring heat , light or chemical action. Prof. S. P. Langley's bolometer , as recently Improved , declares a change of temperature of one-millionth of a degree of Fahrenheit a refinement scarcely approached by any other feat of scientific detection. The responsiveness of electricity has been utlllzet In a wldo variety of tell-tales and alarms Selenium , a metal of the same lineage as sulphur , and betraying Its kinship by a de cided family resemblance , has the curious property of transmitting electricity niucl more freely In light than In darkness. A rod , of selenium , therefore. Is the core of a device to give warning when extinction be falls an electric or other lamp ; a duty this In lighthouses , of vital importance. Ii thermometers a current broken or completed acts as an automatic lire signal , or on ship board announces approach to an Iceberg ; In a steam boiler It sounds a gong when the water recedes below the safety line ; similar ly , the tampering of a burglar with bolt or bar is Instantly reported. Each of these warnings , too , can register Itself wherever you choose , so that In case of neglect there can be no disputing the fact. Now , If an electric contrivance can call an attendant to do some needful task , why may not Its Inventor go a step further and so add to his device that It shall of Its own motion mee an emergency as It aris.es ? Accordingly , we find a furnace , for example , provided will electric control so that the draught , la openei when the temperature falls too law , or Is closed when the flame Is too fierce. Every year brings out self-acting contrivances llko this ; the Inventor ; who began by conferring a nervous system on the- work of liia hands has now gone the length of putting what is very much like- brains In his magnets am wires. wires.OPPORTUNITIES OPPORTUNITIES FOR INVENTORS , As wo prove every day In unhooking a tel- epnone or lifting an Incandescent lamp , at > electric current can readily traverse a flexi ble wire. This unbars a new door to the In ventor. Today lathes and drills are designed In form which comb ne a motor with a tool ; so great Is the convenience- the union that wo are promised an extensive remodel ling of light machinery of all kinds. In their original estate rigidly limited In play by shafts , belts , or gearing. Dentistry and other arts of nlca manipulation arc in debted for many of their recent triumphs to the flexible mechanical shaft a tightly wound cell ot steel wire. This device In Its turn Is being shown to the door by the new partnership between an electric thread , and a tool. But the wire , i lender as It Is , which usually binds a reservoir ot current to Its work , can on occaatlon be discarded , as wo see In the rolling contact ot a trolley wheel with the overhead wire of electric railroads , And ; even contact can be dispensed with In favor of Induction , If wo do not mind suffering a llttlo loss. What Is Induction ? Every youngster sees It at work when he makes a steel magnet hold up an Iron nail , which nail , for the time being , becomes magnetic by the influence or induction of the GEO. P.

If the steel magnet Is really strong It need not touch the rmlt at nil , but will sustain tt though n bit of stiff ennlboard separate the two. Induction ot much the tame character causes a wlro pulslns with electricity to oKect a second nml neighboring wire , so that across govern ! f > et ol space telrsratns arc transmitted to trains on Iho Lohlgh Valley railroad from stations lioslJo the track. With heightened Intensity of cur rent , Mr. William II. Prccco lias succeeded tn sending such messages three miles , In stead of n lew fret. Very often Induction brings us messages -wo would rather not hear , as when wo take up a telephone In a crowded city circuit and are obliged to listen to half a dozen persons tall ; I UK ut once. The builder of tha dynamo has something moro to do than to servo his neighbors , the machinist and the engineer. In cities , at least , the chief use ot the- current thus far has been for llcht light -which for Ilio ( Irst tlmo has parted company with combustion , and with all that combustion means In the way of heat and noxious Rases. The arc lamp , which detains the day in Iho expanses of squares and streets , Is the cheapest as well as the most brilliant Illumlnaiit known to art. In taking the place of oil It affords the mariner a broadened track qf safety , As a search light It brings us bade to something very UXo the ancient beacon , except that It Is Immensely brighter , so that In a clear atmospheres Its beams command a circuit of a hundred miles , or prints Its story on ( he clouds as on n tablet. In a sphere less ambitious the Incandescent bulb is even moro useful , In mining , whore safety IB cardinal , there should be no other light. In the household , while Incomparably convenient and wholesome , It lends Isclf to exquisite effects In decorations ; at the same time It Insures metallic surfaces from the stealthy attacks of gas , and lengthens the Ufa of ostly books and p'ctiires.
