A telegraphic feat hlch aroused much enthusiasm - thusiasm was performed at lecture In Columbia college before the New York mt'c- trlcal eoclely I'ect'nlly. Patrick 11. Delany sent 100 words from one point to r over telegraph wlra In three ane ono-halr tieconds. 'fho points were only Il few feet apart , though the feat , he says would he just as practicable were they 1,000 miles allJrt. The strength of the current need ! : was only a little over : 100 valls. With a greater voltage Mr. lJelany says that messages could ho Rut at even greater speed and for any length oC lime. lIe Is the Inventor. 'fhe secret or the quick time Is that the ' messages have first ta be placed upon Il continuous tat" . In which hales are punched a cedaln number standing far one letter and another member for an- other. When a message Is received a ma- chine calleLl a perforator Is need In placing the message an tape by punching the Boles representing the letters. Then the message Is really for the tranemitter This Is n del- Icato nll\C'hlne , that will cause ! the receiver at the other cod of the wire ta regleter a small dash an another tape for each punched hole that passes thranh ! the transmitter. Na smatter hall' Cast this perforated tape passes 1 through the tranenultter Impelled by whirling C ) ' II ndeil' . the receiver faithfully records ( each IlerCurntlon at the other cnd. One wire In this way can , It Is said carry messages : liS Cast as fifty at more perforator operators can get them ready ' far the transmitter. The FpN.1 accomplished was at the rate of .ill ! wards a m1nute. 1111' Delany advocates the I uve oC the method by the Ilostotlico au- i thal'iltes. All letters could bo mailed ta a central omco and slut hy wire to their l1es- , l llnatlon al a Distance In a very short tlmo. : m.IX'THlCI1'Y 0-1 : SU1IUIlBAN HO.\DS The question oC the substitution ot clee- , truety for steam on trunk railway Ilnes. says Elmo New York Tines , has como to a hellli wuh a BlHlllenlleEs hlch astonishes even the mot . sJngulne af Its 11rophetij. A meeting oC rulway atficlals has bzen hold In Pltts- hurl 10 consider limo introduction af electric 1II0tlve power ta supplant the steam locomotive - th'o an the Pennsylvania Hyatl'III A pIIICr containing some remarkable data was placed before this meeting hy one af the foremost electrical lIuthorllle" aC the dilY. It was shown that whllo the developments In elec- trio railway apparatus , generators , motors , lIIerhOlls of distribution elc. , have been ex- traol'lllnar , there Is still one thing left ta lIIallo the electric motor substitute In all ( padileulars ; for the seam locolllotl\'c This langlo , hut supreme , factor In the future aC electric railway work Is the gas engine. It Is known that a locomotive consumes an an average eIght limes as much coal as wouht be required ta operate a properly - erly \ constructed las cnglne The use af lute gas engine to generate power Car i raelectric " locomotives an railroads would thus c\'tct ! \ nn enormous e'lInomOn the l'enn- ' ' h s'lmnhl railroad for Instance It would re- duce the cOllsunl\lllon \ ot coal frOm 1i,000OOO ta GOO.OOO tons per annum cTectlng ! n sa - 4 Ing aC over 4.000.000 touts of coal now casting the COlllllany more than $1i.OOOOOO. n saving which would jU3t111) a large enough ! capital expenditure to cOVer the conmpleto equipment I of the railwayTo carry out this plan , the electric locomotive adopted would be entirely different from the present ! loeomatl\'e.

LIGHT HAII."A FOIl FAItMEi1S. 1\Iajar General Webber has suggested ; , as a mean9 aC enabling English ' : Canners ta have quick transit ta the market for their agrl- cultural products a plan which ! might bo adopted whim advantage In some parts af thIs country lIe proposes ' I\ system af railway ! , the cars an whIch can ho handled ! by the farm hands and drawn either hy I small locomotives ar horses. The lines must he capable or being laid into the fields I ate move the crops In a measure Mite those used an sugar ; and cotton estates. The gauge advocated 18 ta 30 Inches , requires .11k ta G feet af ground breadth and costs under $ iGOO per mile IIIlavether ; In the Waolwlcl1 arsenal and at the Oulnness' brew or ) ' there are 18lnch gauge ; railways aC this , typo which have far years dane excellent . sen'lcc. Al time brewery \ the locomotives are about as large as a' good sized upright plana. They are line examples aC what can ho done In traction an reallyllgld narrow gauge lines. In UecJuvllle , France there Is a portable ramisv'ay : that has long been \ suc- cceafully used In farm wark. Major General Webber estimates ! that I-Inch gauge lines can he laid . with twent-pound rails at the rate : stated to give a receipt oC :6 : : cents per mite against a worllln expenditure at 23 ; ; cents per mile. lIe holds that IC agriculture - culture Is ta derive any benefit from light railways \ they must be really light. They unmet nat he simply thin paper editions of standard gauge IInes , , cut dawn to the danger point oC strength but careflllly designed combinations af track and rolllni stock en- tirely divorced fralll all Idea aC their utilization by standard vehicles. It Is not Imperative that the roadside portions are ta.Je \ laid by the farmers themseh'os ; this Is desirable , The Idea oC a farmer laying anything af a fashion af a railroad stay . he repugnant to the average ' railroad man but It will seem very natural and proper ta the farmer 118 soon as ho finds that the light railway Is pulling him Into prompt tech with the markets. IMr'It0VEMENTS IN TROLLEY 1'O\\'EIl. Few people nol directly Interested In ! elt'C- trio railway affairs ! recognize that In every large ' city where these lines are operated time transmlsslan aC power to the outlying portions af tire network ] oC tracks Is an Important mat ter Street railway motors are operated with n current aC 600 volts , std ta transmit such currents more than comparatively short tlls- tames requires a hea\'y expenditure for copper - per feellers. Moreover , there Is frequently a serious drop In the voltage when such currents - rents arc l1eIVtre,1 ! , at 1\ \ distance of some miles ( room the power statton Several railways have been built \ an which an attempt has been nude ta prevent this fall In potential by means aC "hoosler" tl'namcs placed along the line aC the feeders whh.'IJ raise the voltage - ago ta the IleJlreLl amount.

Tim ELECTRICIAN ; : AT I'I.AY. An electrician who amuses himself by devising odd applications of electricity which may or may not have practical value , tells chemists that he has a much better plan for removing the glass stopper from a hOllle than the usual haldlng oC the bottle neck Car awhile oven a Bunsen burner ThIs method Is open ta the drawback that the bottle must he heltl In a horizontal po- slttou and the fluid may easily he spilled out aC the bottle The up-to-date Improvement - ment Is an adjustable clamp with calls aC platinum wire embedded In a strip af asbestos - tas attached. The clamp , which Is connected to a battery . Is put an the neck af the bottle . the current turned on . and the glass : 19 hrought ta any desired heat. This Is . in fact an adaptation of the electratherlll , or heating pad , which Is now used In hospitals In lieu aC hot water palls formerly In vag-ue. Another novelty oC this resourceful electrical trifler Is an electric annihilator of moths files and mosquitoes. It consists oC Incan- 111e cent electric lamps placed Inside a large globe , which Is coaled externally with a mixture oC ( money and wine , ar any other seductive - ductivo sticky ! mas !

Such families put telephones into theIr palaaee only on the proviso that their names and telephone numbers shall not appear In the 11Ircctar ) ' , This exclusive system Is adopted In order ta prevent the annoyance ot being \ constantly rung up by outsiders. TELEI'IIONES : FOIL PASSENGERS A telephone allachmcnt Car railroad use has been Introduced whoop will greatly increase the safety oC railroad travel. Al present the device Is designed only for communication be- linen conductors and the nearest station but t'dO Intention Is ta so modify It thai It can be used by passengers traveling on express trains , By this arrangement the telephone can be called into requisition by the train 111s- patcher In addition to the telegraph dispatch- hg wires while , on time other hand the dispatcher - patcher can ho called by any station ar block along line line III 1\ second An ingenious part af the equipment Is 'Iat Is called a set which Is to be carried In every baggage car and caboose.
