The riew Tausslg electric smelting proces fchlch , ls now passing through the cxpet mental jjtats In Germany , gives exception proml ei Bnd should Its practical test pro' ' satisfactory It will modify recent clectr metallurgical developments , progressive i theyv have ; been , to a remarkable oxten The broccss , described by the lloston Trai script , consists of first reducing nnd smel Ing the ore , and then In casting the matt Both-processes are carried on In a vacuut Tim-rarefaction of the air haa the effect retriov/ng / all bubbles of gas or air , at the casting la thoroughly homogeneou Thp Apparatus consists , essentially , of longt alr-tlght smelting chamber , In uh ! < the hearth Inclines toward a ce tral opening , through which the met passes Into the mould. The cnamber packed with ere and flux , or metal , as tl case inay be , and the furnace Is lined wll fitazoa flre-brlcks , which so thorough Insulate It that there Is no escape of curren Within fifteen minutes of the turning c of the current the heat developed will me pig Iron , and It takes but llttlo longer molt Hlomeiis-Martlii ttccl. As no carbon present the fused metals are almost pur oxidation or blistering and the dcletcrloi effect of gahcs evolved are prevented by tl rarefied atmosphere , which at the same tin Increases the fluidity of the metal , at the castings produced are denss and horn eencous. The most obvious advantage claimed fi ( his process , In the smelting of raw ores , thak It can be worked \vholly by wat power. This ability to dispense with fu U a-matter of great moment In tnountalnoi , hh < L rttnole ore-producing districts , whl < 1 luiW'fibiimlant ' water , but no coal. In tl vfiwIhgYpt iron It Is claimed that the oper ttan . | B- rapid nnd amenable to contlmioi working ; that U Improves the quality of tl castfn.cs ; and that , even where steam pott Is1 used to generate the current. It gl\oi paving of 30 to CO per cant In fuel. Tl practical limit of the process as at prose organized would appear to be the handlli of about one nnd a half tons of metal dne charge , which would require furnace or fusion channel of fro * thirty-six to forty feet In lengt By ' applying to such a furnace current of 30,000 amperes anil fifty volts , say about 2.000-horse power , the entire chari it 3,000 pounds can ba fused and run In callings In a quarter of nil hour. In tl making-of steel and Iron castings by smel ing In a Siemens-Martin regenerative fu liaco , 1,000 to 1,400 pounds of coal are burn to smelt 2,000 pounds o ( Iron. In the Tauss nfiL-d , even assuming that water power available and that the dynamo and a pumps must boorKc.t by steam , It claimed tlial the emcltlng of 2,000 jotinds . iron or steel can be effected by the co sumption of from 720 to 800 pounds of stea , cpaj , an economy of nearly 50 per cent , fuej , Where the steel Is treated In cruclbl ( he. feconomy ! U still greater , especially If tl ' 'cdar used be of an Inferior quality. 'By * means of this process , It Is stated , i : Ir6n containing under 3 per cent total carb' ' has been produced , nnd It Is balloved 111 where desirable the carbon limit can brought dowmto that of steel. It Is estlmat that a plant equipped with COO of COO lior 'Rower , using u good quality of 4S per ce o o , can produce pit ; Iron for $ S to $9.50 p ton , allowing $2.40 for the cost of ore. Cc tn | | > planta In the south already tu put Iron at a lower cost than this ; but t rtsu'ro can bo greitly reduced where / f yillr ! power ,1s available for the gcn < allen of electric current. K this system c. , bo put , on a commercial basis It will , , jfnoa't valuable for the treatment of or in. ithe neighborhood of water power , even where water power exists near enou to permit of the cheap transmission of ci ( , fuel being piesumably high prlcf Instance , an electric generating pla t bo crecttjd near the coal mines , a power could b'o generated by using sla coal In p'oduccrn , the gas thus obtain heating the bailors. From here the cum could , ba transmitted to the ore mines whc , ' , lhp &ncltlnK"furnac2S | were erected.

ELECTRICITY KILLS. 4 Mr. Thomas ISillson. the distinguished 1 ' vcrttor , does not take much stock In t theories recently advanced regarding Ni York's system ot electrocution. Sevei prcnjlncnt electricians. Including Nlct Tptja , support the theory of d'Arscnval Franco that tlio men nro not killed by t high currents such as are used nt Sing Sir and their assertions carry sufficient wclg to Induce Governor flower to consent to experiment on the next man electrocuted determine \\hcther ho can be resuidtati Mr. , edition thinks they are dead beyo recall P'Arsenva } speaKs ot men who ha been resuscitated after be'ng heavily shock by the' current. Edison point * ) to the list mon Who have been killed by It through i eldest. The list Is long now nnd the prei dent flitnbllshed U strong. However , say ; ) that the way for the Frenchmen piovc their theories Is for them to take t man who Is first shocked to a hospital a 'lYitkjO ( > 'hl test of reviving him. If he recovi riliy/jSVllfl prove their point. As to the sta mdhf'tlmt the "blectrocuted" men may rca have been killed by the post mortem kn and not by the current , hs thinks It nbsu This ought to comfort those physicians w have performed autopsies on the olectrocu men. men."There are enough young doctors hangl around the hospitals to make a thorough t of It1 said he. "Nearly all the men who hi been killed by electricity have received I current through the hands. All the mai on thorn ix'.tor-tho current had passed throu have been a little white zpot on each hai TVhen the first men were electrocuted I i vised them to put electrodes on the hands a fet.

They burnt the men , t now I pee they have come down to adopt the suggestion I made. Practical experlei * Is'better than theory every time. " * * \ f1N THI3 CHURCES. ' -niectrjeity has not occupied so prnm'n x placi In tho. church as the ease with wh It lends Itself to decorative and UHimln.it purposes would teem to warrant , says Electric Review. 1'erhaps It Is because 'oMirbnMS morn conservative than the wo and lens Inclined la don the garb of modi civilisation ; or possibly It Is because of t ancient superstition of man that a "dim llgidlis light" Is more conducive to a s [ ttual JUOIH ! than any art ficlal glare. I many churches , howcvtr , and especially tli of very recent construction , the electric II has made Its way alul has proved so th oughly snUatory ns to become Indlipen bl . It Ujfiftcn the case , unfortunately , t the llKliSare ( , so few , and Installed with little rBfuuU'to brilliancy of eff cl or harmi with arcl'.Uectural deta.U , that the result far from pleasing. ThoiKlrHUaptUt church , which stands the northwest comer of the Boulevard i West Soventy-nlnth street , New York C has , , been unusually progressive , and eanctlotloa ( ho USB cf electricity not only a means of il'iimlnnllon , but for other p puiea .vqU. ministering to the convenle and cormdrc'cf the pallor and the congre tloo. , , , . It Is iwrhap * tin cellluB itself which i scnti the most striking pecullnrltlei of r itruciUm. , It it wadi ! up of a Brand vr thirty fact in diameter , with two t vaults oije , on cither side of almost ( sains dhljiftct1. fdrmliiK large coves.

A very pretty little effect Is produced t he employment of the electric light In a iltar lamp. Thin lamp Is almost n history i Ightlng In Itself , uniting as It does the moi indent and the most modern forms of I u ruination , ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES. Two powerful electric locomotives , which ai cslgned to draw the trains ot the Ililtlmoi Ohio rallroid through the Belt Una tut nol under the city of Baltimore , are flnlshei .nil It Is announced that all trains plylti > et\vccn Baltimore and the west over th oad will ba pulled through the tunnel t electricity before January I next. The 3 ( on locomotive which was exhibited at Cli cage , the first of the kind constructed , he model upon which the above met loncd motors are built. They will bo tli Irst electric locomotUei to go Into nctu ; ise on a railroad whose motive power ha > ecn steam. It Is : ald they are capable < attaining n speed of forty miles an hour. The advantage of there appliances In lor .linnets Is obvious , says the I'blladelph ledger. They will eliminate the smoke ar gas nuisance , which Is so annoying to pa ser.gers , and will make travel safer. Hut tl success of th9 pending experiment has ilgnlflcance much greater than this. It ma cad In time to the general substitution i electric motors for steam locomotives. Bvci nvention must pass through the experiment ! stag ? before Its general acceptance Is assure' ' Nearly nil of our most useful ptnotlc levlces were regarded as mere toys In tl jcglnnlng. They made their way against o' ' , ntthods nnd the conservative spirit whlc discredits everything not In line with pa : experience. There IK every promise of wonderful development of eleectrlc powe When the electric locomotive can run at sppd comparable with our fleet steam lee natives the day of the Introduction of clc rlclty on the great rallw'ay systems of tl country Is not far distant. When clcctr power has reached Bitch a pitch of edlcleni he eld railroads will find their present roai ways , with their easy grades and hmmini 'rota ' the obstructions which prevent hlf rates of speed on cU-ctrlc lines laid on o Unary roadbeds , llnely adapted to the nc order of things. ELECTU1C OMNIBUSES. While the French have brought their situ ! if road locomotives for passenger traffic he stage of everyday practice the Englls nglneers have fallen back from their pos ion In th ? first half of the century , wlu he steam engine of the highway divided pul Ic Interest \\lth Its brother of the rail , ar ire content to rnako up for the dearth i actual experiment by unlimited Indulgence i heory. The situation , however , Is not will out hope , although it will come as n surprl : .0 many Londoners to learn that In tl netropolls Itself an electric omnibus has rv 3,000 to 4,000 nil.leS with passengers , and th t Is not Improbable that a score or more these vehicles will shortly be put into nctl' operation. Time was when the toll-bar wi one of the most formidable obstacles to tl road steamer , but this Is gone , and the chl limculty now li the man with the red fl ; who has to1 precede cverymechanlcally-pr rolled vehlcte Mislng the highways of th country. Ulectrlcal enthusiasts refuse to n mil that the red flag statute applies to the special type of motor , butDlf forced to tl admission that there is a possibility of 11 act as It stands at present getting In the wi of the new'ccnvcyance | they content liter selves wlui the remark , "So much the wor for the statute. " ELECTRICITY AND THE FAtlM. The problem of local transportation for tl farmer may yet be settled by olectrlclt From the city cf Seattle an electric Jli runs for several miles through a region small farms nnd vegetable gardens , who products it brings to the city. In Madlsi county , Indiana , a franchise has been grant for the construction ot an electric rallwa which will run from Indianapolis to Jonc bore and traverse a rich dfifjicultural dlstrli In the east the'use of this , means of trar portatton for tl)6 ) farmers is rapidly Increa InK. It haa | bo.en found , where the expei ment has been made , that the traffic pays , a short time'for the building of the roai and that they are of the greatest convet enco to the [ agricultural classes. The mud and Impassable roads which house up large proportion/ the American farme during the winter seas-in ate responsible , a large measure , for the tmcontcnt whl prevails among' th : tlllcra ot llio soil , Th Interfere \vlh | the frm'cin of the farmer the only time when lia ; cs leisure to about and are .cosjly and \\CFtcful. Ev the trolley may be forgiven If It results emancipating the people of the rural d trlcts from the'curso of bad roads. RAILROAD TELEPHONES. In Franco the management of some ot t railroad companies think of replacing t telegraph by the telephone , even for t transmission of Important orders. There a some railroads with light traffic where t telephone Is already used , but the entire st : stttutton of the telephone would .lie dlfflcu The single Iroa conductors used for te graph would not be suitable , and It would necessary to establish special telephone llr with double wires. On the Vlncennes rallro In the stations between Paris-Bast lie and : Varenne , which are at distances of about o mile , at a signal by telegraph the telegra wires are connected with the telephone 1 strumcnts , and are thus made available I an extended telephonic Intercourse. Thei rangement gives excellent results. T Northern railway ot France has establish on trial telephone stations on the open ro along some ot Us main lines , through whl assistance can ba summoned from the si lions In rase of accident. The stations a equipped whh telephone receivers. Portal telephone Instruments are In use on sui small French roads. The largo Austrl railroads use field telephone Instruments the Oattlnger system , which tu a few inlinil can be connected with the telegraph wires any point , their use not Interrupting the te graphic communication , Under favorat conditions conversation la possible at a d tancc tip to thirty-one miles. In England telephone connection bctwe block signal stations Is common. On t seven largo French railroads there were use In January , 1893 , about 1,210 tclcphoui against G,200 telegraph stations.

Replying to the reporter's request for h most striking frontier experience , the ca | tain said ; "It was In the " 76 campaign against Slttlr Dull. I was the chief ot scouts under Qei oral George Crook. And after the Custi massacre , while In advance ot the comma : : on September 8 , I discovered an Indian vl lago of about forty lodges , which means 21 Indians. There were only 100 soldiers , tv newipaper correspondents , and ten packer in charge of forty pack mules. We were c the way to the Black Hills for provlslot for an army of 2,000 men , and when U village was discovered we were eating lion meat , being almost entirely out of ration Wo charged the village at daylight , nfti lying In a ravlno all night In a drlzzlir rain.

"Rattled/ ' went c the poet scout , "means scared. When a me loses hU nerve he's 'rattled. ' Oh , your pe pie will understand rattled all right. " "I'm not so sure of that , " said I. "Noi perhaps. " ' "Well , we fought In the 4arljnc3S. seelr only the flashes of each otherls guns , an when day dawned on the scone , there wi not a living Indian in sight.1' "All of "cm dead , possibly ? , " sVld I. "Oh , no , not by a Jugful , n There we about twelve dead Indians , nnd in number killed and wounded among our'own ' men , bi the balance of the Indians ha rmade the escape.
