PROVIDES FOR A GOVERNMENT EXHIBIT Hill Hefrrrcil to Scimlor Committee--II In to llo \i \ ) tiy Otlirr Mvuwiiri-H Xeeen- < ftiiry to WASHINGTON , Jnn. 3. ( Special Tele gram ) Tlio first active movement to mnlee the Transmlsslsctppl exposition at Omaha a r-onlllvtr snccWf wa taken today , Senator Allen Introduced In the senate n bill appro- pi latlnp $ GO,000 f r the construction of a BO.'crnment building nt Omaha and providing 'or a government exhibit , an at Atlanta and Chicago. An additional appropriation of $2.,000 Is provided to cover transportation of M the government exhibit to Omaha In 1S9S , at * " which time the TransmlMUslppI exposition Is to be held. In the event this bill , which was referred to Senator Thurston's committee on International expositions , paiueB , It Is to bo follfw d by provisions In the- sundry civil bill to cover all expenses and probably some thing In aid of the exhibit. It Is thought ln this connection that If the tariff bill becomes ( comes a law th-ro will b ; considerable lib erality hewn In the way ot promoting the Interest of th ? whole country , not only by lib eral appropriations forot least two expositions now designed to bo held , but In the way of public buildings. Should the tariff bill fall to become a law It Is feared tint ther ? will bi a Rood dual of cheeseparing legislation on the part of republicans , who do not desire to ermilato the legislation during the Fifty * ' third congr.BS. It IB und rstocd Senator Allen's action today was taltcn after a talk hail with Senator Thurston previous to the ' -UpporluYe of tlio latter for his home , and with the understanding that the bill would be- referred to Senator Thurston's commute . Should thf amount at present provided bethought thought not sufllclent It may bo amended In committee. TO SHLI , THE PACIFIC ROADS. Not content with two bills looking to the settlement of the Pacific roads' Indibted- ncss , Senator Allen proposes to take a hand In adjusting this troublesome question by presenting bill Tuesday contemplating the government ownership nnd operation of lhesi : roads. Ills bill will provide that the secre tary of the treasury shall compute putetho Indebtedness up to July 1 on the subsidy bonds , from which he shall deducted the amount In sinking fund , this to bo certlfl d by the secretary of the treas ury to the attorney general. On the receipt of' the certificate tlio attorney general shall begin milts In equity or other proper Judi cial proce dliig In any United States cir cuit court through which territory these roadw run. To the proceeding nil persons , coiporatlons and Individuals having righter or title t propsrty sliall bo made parties ( to tmlt. Then , after reciting the manner In which the sale la to be made , the bill further provides for the government to bid it In on prior liens and after proper deeds are madp the gov.'rnmeiU shall own and operate thc.v ? roads same as Individual cor porations , charging no greater freight or pj.isitigw tariffs than , necessary In the Judg ment of th ? sec.otary of the treasury to pay operating expenses and ken > the property In Ilfst-claM repair , arid for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of the act the secretary of the treasury Is directed to coin nil sllvsr bulllc-u nww belonging to the United States , Including seigniorage , at a ratio of 1C to 1 , and cover the sama Into the treasury , this money to bo a legal tender having the B-imo form or effect as those Issued under act of July 14 , 1890 , commonly called the Sharman act. Senator Allsn does not ex- piftthla bill to pass , he- Bays , but ho antici pates .that the exposition bill will , and this will give htm a right to malco amendments to the bill reported by the committee on Pa- clflo roads. Congressman Gamble of South Dakota In troduced a bill today establishing a military port at Pierre and appropriating 1100,003 therefor. Ho also presented a memorial from tlio city council of Chamberlain as-klng for the passage ot a bill to tallow the city of Chamberlain to lease , sublet and Improve American Island , In the Missouri river , which was donated to the city by act of congress.

General Duffleld , the chief ot the coast and geodetic survey , today presented to tlu secretary of state the joint report on the Alaskan boundary which vfls agreed upon by him and the Canadian representative , Mr. King , at their molting 'at Albany this week. The report probably will not bo made < public until It Is trano- milted to congress , but It shows a practical agreement between th ? survey ) of the t\\o governments and may have tli9 effect cf .partially quieting the appr'henslon of trouble over the boundary. The greatest difference between the lines run by the engineers for the two governments Is but six fe t seven Inches , or fifteen seconds of longitude. In view of the two surveys , General Uufileld l .dces not hesitate to express the opinion that " thcic can b no serious dispute between the United States and Canada over the boundary , lie paid ; "The line Is as plain from the ticaty 01 though It had been recorded by died and map , " The two commissioners , who mot at Al bany , had no authority to fix the boundary , but only to recommend from the- surveys which have bo n made the linen to bs defin itely established.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 3. The senate ( Inane committee did not conclude Its consideration of the house bill today. The failure was due to the fact that the sliver majority of the committee was unable to agree upon the terms of tlu substitute which they propose to report for the home bill. The members favorable to silver. Including Senators Veer hces , Harris , Vest , Jones of Arkansas am Walthall , democrats , and Jones of Nevada populist , were In conference for a full hour before the rest arrived , but they found the task of preparing a bill to which al could agree somewhat more complicated thai they anticipated and were compelled to nul for more time. Senator Jones presented the draft cf a bill on the lines suggested In these dispatches last night , but ame of the mem bers dcslrrd further time for consideration It was male appuont. however , that th differences were not radical as Its \ still be lleved by the majority that there Is no In surmountable dlfilculty In the way of reach Ing nn agreement on the section of the bll providing for free coinage. The republican in mbers of the committee were In conference for several hours , de voting a greater part of the time to th tariff bill. The republicans arc dls posed to give moro attention to this measure than to the bond bill Thpy consider that the- latter measure ha been virtually taken out ot their hands , n tht majority Is against them , but consider I possible that the tariff bill may be so modified as to get It through.

The dyes and by-products derived from coal tar have become a classical Instance , or , as Bacon would have said , a glaring example. As wJ have stated , the fatherlanders have captured these trades from us. Go to Elberfield , anil what do we see ? At the Fnrbenfabrlktn , be sides first class works , we are shown a laboratory unsurpassed , perhaps not equaled In London , and employed In research or In tlio business there or ? sixty high class chemlstt' . In the Badltche Anllin und Soda- fabrlk scv.'nty-elght chemists are engaged. An expert witness told the Gresham com mission that six skilled chemists was the maximum number employed In any English color works. If , Indeed , there were so many. These nun are unceasingly active In research. The price to pay for progress Is eternal vigilance. Kvery hint from England , France , America , or Ialy { Is tried ; every now ma terial test d ; every hopeful process patented , rho great works at Hochst made In 1S90 from 1,700 to 1,800 colors ; they employed 3,000 hands , seventy chemists and twelve engineers.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 3. ( Special. ) A fortnight ago Congressman Falrchlld of New York Introduced In the house cf reprcsenta tlvcn a bill which Is Intended to preecrv the Palisade ? of the Hudson. This measjrc Is the outcome of agitation which has bee : going on In the states of New York am New Jersey for several years over the de structlon of the Palisades by quarrymen , who are blasting away the etone for street paving purposes. Last winter the legislatures o New York and New Jersey authorized th governor of each state to appoint com mlssloncrs to suggest such means ao to then might seem expedient for the purpose o locurlng the action of the national govern inent In acquiring and setting apart the Pallradcs on the west uhorc of the Hudsoi for the purposes ojf fortification and rcser viitlon. In conversation with Congressman Fair child concerning his bill , he said : VIEWS OF THE DILL'S AUTHOR. "Business Interests have gradually acqulroc possession of thousands of test of river front age , and the adjoining land , and have cstab llshed quarrying plants for the crushing o HID trap rock , which , unices restrained by legislation , will within a few years destro ; the beauty and symmetry of the cliffs. "Tho removal of stone from the talus o the Palisade ? has been In progress for man } years ; the title of the landowners on the summit of the cliffs extends In most case only to the vertical edge. The land betweei the cliff and the water front , which Is coverei by the lalur , and Is from 400 to 1,000 fee In width , Is owned In small parcels , many of them being only sixty-six feet In wldtl on the river front. During the past tlilrtj years the right to remove surface stone from the slope has been purchased fron tlmo to time by contractors for furnishing paving blocks and In later years for erecting stone breaker * and furnishing broken stone for concrete. The removal of the. surface rock Involves necessarily the stripping o the timber from the slope. This denudation of the rocky slope , when occurring In de tached small patches , dot ? not materially affect the grandeur and beauty of the Palis ades , as seen from the river and 'from the opposite shore , but where , as In a number of Instances , wide strips of 300 to 400 fee have .been denuded from the base to the top , the beauty of the scene Is greatly marred , and these scars remain for years a blemish on the landscape. SCARS OF YEARS AGO. "Vegctat'nn Is of slow growth on this rocky slope and the scars which were made twenty to thirty years ago , whsn paving blccks were most In demand , are now al most as bar ? of vegetation as when left by the quarrymen. The present government , for the preservation of the Pallsad's , Including In that term the talus as well as the vertlca cliff of basalt from 50 to 250 fe't In height above the slope , has been Instigated by the beginning of operations on a larger scaleby firms of contractors who desire to make the obtaining of concrete ston ? from the talus of the Palisades a profitable enterprise , am who , in carrying out their object , care nothing either for natural scenery or the annoyance and discomfort caused to r sldent3 of another state by the constant heavy blast Ing. "Independent of the world famous pic turepque beauty of the Palisades , the his torlcal associations that will be blcndd In the proposed National park arc worthy o consideration. At the northern end of the Palisades In Rockland county In the state of New York and facing Irvlngton and Sun nyslde , the homo of Washington Irving , as well as SUepy Hollow , where he lies burled will bo found Tappan , where , on October 2 1780 , Major Andre was hung as a spy. Tfif actual place of execution lies on the rlgh of a lane , which runs from the highway o Tappan village to Old Tappan , and about n quarter of a mile from Washington's head quarters. These still exist In the shape o a one-story building , erected In the year 1700 , and situated near the road from Sne den's Landing or Paramus , as It was then known. Washington's Tappan headquarters wMnh will rlnilhtInss wllpn thnv hpnnm * mih lie property , be made as Interesting as those at Newberg , are close by the ridge of the Palisades , whre the American army lay In camp , when Andre was led to his death. SOME HISTORIC POINTS. "The ferry landing at Paramus connecting with Dobb's Ferry , where the Father of his Ccuntry had still another headquarters In the Livingston manor house , was the place where , In 1776 , Lard Cornwallls landei his division of Lord Howe's army after the battle of Long Island , and before ho was out-seneraled by Washington nt Trenton. "Just youth of Indian Head and "tho di viding line between the states of New York and Now Jersey and In Bergen county , near by th3 ravine called Alpine gorge , which In the revolution was styled Closer LandIng - Ing , was where General Earl Grey disem barked bis dragoons who , on the night ol September J7 , 1778 , committed the foul crime known as the Hackensack massacre. A few miles below Alpine Is Englewood , remarka ble during the revolution under Itu name of Liberty Pole , and where many Inspiring efforts of American patriotism occurred. The most marked feature In Its annals was the march thereto of General Anthony Wayne , who , with his Maryland and Delaware foot regiments , the artillery and Moylan's dra goons , made it decldely unpleasant for the royalist refugees , wlioro fortified Jjlock houses on the woody plateau of the Palisades were a constant menace to the revolutionary cause. GRAND SCENERY RUINED. "Somewhat below Englewood was the- point on the Palisades where Washington and his staff watched the fall of Fort Washington In 1776 , but now the Carpenter quarrleo are In full swing for closs upon a mile with dynamite blasters ruining the grand prom ontory , and at Its foot , anchored at the long wharfj. ttlgs and barges galore awaiting the work of the huge stone crushers breakIng - Ing Into concrete the beautiful cliffy. "Fort Leo , called after the eccentric revo lutionary general , Charles Lee , Is about a mile from the Carpenter quarries , and was under the command during our struggle for freedom of General Nathaniel Greene. This strong redoubt was built upon the heights In 177C , and remained of great strategic mportanca until Cornwallls1 unsuccessful at tempt , with 0,000 British troops , to capture Iho garrison , who safely got away to the Delaware through the Valley of Hacken- sjck. " CoHcn. GrorvliiH : In California. An experiment In coffee growing Is to be made In the San Joaquln valley , California , which , If MicccEsfnl , may mean that coffee Ranting will becomean Important Industry n the state. Colonel Charles F , Crocker , a wealthy rancher of that rsglon , has just se cured from the various party of Central America 1,000 yearling coffee plants , and will soon Imvo them set out en his estates In the- valley. It will bo at least six y ars before ; ho result of the experiment can be known , Cxperta are somewhat doubtful of IU suc cess. Thty say the soil and sunlight are all right In the San Joaquln valley , but the nolsture necessary to the successful raising of coffee Is lacking. Woman' * ICIiiKiloin In KiiNxIn.

You may not feel s at first , says a correspondent gtjtjhc Hartfon Courant ; perhaps In the arorganco of you Anglo-Saxon superiority you may even laugh such an Idea to scorn. Hut only nt.iy In th country three days , and unless -.you. are n paragon ofall that which tradition , hns callci the cardinal virtue- after godliness , your con science will give you such n succession o sharp twinges that you are ready to go to any extreme In order to explaet helnou crimes and join company In the lovVest place with the people- about you , whose tutelary divinity Is the everlastingly clean , Ant what a tyranny they arc under , to be sure. Al ono can say Is that they seem to rc.illj enjoy their fanaticism. They certainly re sort o the most fanciful means of satisfying the demands of their soap-and-water fetich From Rotterdam to Haarlem , from Schevln nlngen to Utrecht It Is all alike. Anywhere you can see buxom housemaids so wrappci up In their zeal that they spend a whole day with pumice and sand paper , putz pomade and chamois , a-scrubblng the brass door plate , staircase and front sidewalk , which has hardly recovered from a previous appll cation of hot water ; children spend thel play hours sweeping dead leaves Into the canal ; weak old men are busy touching ui the green flower pots In the windows , In cacl of which grow exactly three geraniums like an Inverted equilateral triangle , while ovc all presides the good mevrouw , the aqueou despot of her own household and the hlgl priestess of the whole cleanly cult. STRANGERS FEEL UNEASY. Now , this highly developed sense of neat ness and order Is a fine thing to sec existing In any race , but It has Its drawbacks. After a trip on the choppy North sea and a four hour night ride afterward you are consclou of being anything but n welcome visitor , as you land at the hotel lii Amsterdam. Long ago , when the > steamer was executing Its wildest dance , you began to have some doubt ns to your ultimate prescntablllty. When you landed , perhaps , you mode tome furtive attempt to arrange your disordered apparel when but you see even the conclergs and the irald Eiilfllug disdainfully and handling your traps as If they were cholera Infected , your assumed jauntlncss wilts Instantly , you rush away with rage In your heart , but end by humbly bowing to fate ; and you throw ofl your ruffled garments , n-ever appearing until n dress suit and white tie have taken the place of your training and present personal Inclination ; you are being watched as n sus picious character , as you mlnclngly tiptoe down the tiled corridor to the dining room. Yes , Dutch cleanlless may ba Interesting even enjoyable to look upon , but It Is some thing to be observed from a distance , not actively participated In. It Is too severe n test for your belief In the perfectness of early training and present personal Inclina tion ; the tendency to cre-ep unoE > tcntatlonply through sldo streets Is also developed to an alarming degree. But It Is the most d llghtful thing In the world to stroll about the streets ol any Dutch town and to watch what goes on about you. The oinals and the windmills do not surprise one you would .be surprised rather at their absence , but In ( the scroll- shaped gabl s of the house's , Uiq long per spectives of graceful willows , the * glimpses you occasionally catch of s.-\ndcd floors am niching fireplaces , all glowing from the peat fires , you have a succession of simple am charming backgrounds for genre pictures of a c rtaln type , that are a delight and a relief after the superficial beauty of the pen- orama of Paris life or the , somber , smoky tints of London. There Is ; iothrig ( splendlc here ; It Is all quaint and homelike and "Just d ar , " from the doll-house royal palace down to the little horses the dapper cavalry cfll- cers ride so atrociously. , f THE PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTIVE. That Is what makes Holland so attractive to everyone.

Paris galleries the genial , almost com ical scenfs of the Dutch life of past days luvci endeared you to the country unawares The rollicking topers and broad cheeked ruddy country women who crowd the can vases of Tenters , Dow or Jan SUcn are much pleasanter acquaintances than the languid 'peasantry ' of Watteau and Nicholas Pou.SBln ; you are sure they will become goo ; friends as well , and whsn you see then In real life unchanged even In cos tume , you greet them most .cordially . , men tally at least , Inscribing their names nn < that of their country nearer , your heart than any other except the one 3,000 miles away. Nowher else doeo one -enjoy such a rea homo feeling. Their language Is absolutely Incomprehensible , and some of their cus toms are- not modole-d exactly after Ameri can Idctas , but all the 011110' you go about with a pridein old Barneveldt or William the Silent , and a hate- for the Spanish race In your heart quite as Intense as that fell by any sturdy burghtr besldo you ; and you doff your capi to cheer as lustily as thebtsl of them when the little queen rides along from her little palace to the park out to ward Schevlnlngen. One of the mot delightful days we spent In Holland was at Delft , & suburb of The Hague. You take the tramway at the- hotel door the car waits while Its conductor comes down to show you the best way ac- cross a mud-puddle , and In an hour's time you are. there. The ear jogs leisurely along through the city streets , halts for a mo ment at a draw over a canal , while a clumsy barge , whoso red sails flap helplessly In the motionless air , creeps through , poled along by a couple of boys , In ample trousers ; then the bridge Is closed again and you con- tlnuo on your way along a macadam road that Is a continual delight In Its straightness - ness and cleanliness. On each sldo stretch away a succession of brilliant green fields , marked off Into squares and rectangles by ditches or rows of willows. Speckled cattle and sheep lumber heavily away dully scared by the rattle of the cars ; their keepers look up from their comfortable resting place ? , : mt , unless the beasts have gone , quite be yond recall , settle- - themselves again , per fectly confident that ho honor of tlielr charges will prevent any trespass on a neighboring Freehold.

TORN THE SWITCH , MARIA Comforts and Conveniences for House keepers Hearing Perfection , REVOLUTION IN THE KITCHEN IMPENDS III Electric CooUlnn Street Cur llrnkcn Injiirloun Ef fect of Electric l.lKlilH on the 11 } ON. Eicctrlc cookery Is In Its Infancy. Yet the time Is nearly approaching when the kitchens of all well-managed households will bo run by the mysterious fluid. Electricity will take the place of fuel In the ranu * . the department of the cuislno will bs lighted by the same ngtncy and It Is entirely con ceivable that a small electric motor will be made to serve for such purposes as beat ing eggs and mixing griddle-cakes. Already electric cook stoves In a number of patterns are on th ? market. You can even buy an electric chafing dish , which may bo attached nt n moment's notice to nn ordinary electric light wire In any house. These chafing dishes arc made In one-quart and two-quart slzss , nickel plated. All you have to do Is to make the attachment by a plug switch , turn on the current , and al most Immediately your oysters are begin ning to stsw or your eggs to frizzle. Before long householders will take el c- trlclty regularly for domestic purposes , just as they now take gas. Hut the more subtle fluid will be made to serve for cooking und heating as well as for lighting , says the 1'hllJd Iphla Times. The convenience to the housewife of being able to rely upon one sys tem of wires for fuel for cooking and for warming and for Illuminating the dwelling will bo enormous. She will flnd It particu larly delightful to be rid of a hot kitchen In the summer-time. Nowadays the , kitchen Is apt to b ? the dirty part of any house. To keep It really clean Is almost out of the question. The coil used for fuel blackens es'trythlng with which It comes In contact ; ash's make mere dirt , and smoke blackens the celling and walls. In the electrically-conducted kitchen of the near future It will bj quite different. There will be no coal , no ashes and no smokf. The range will b ? ready for cooking at a moment's notice , with no time and patience wasted In the laborious kindling of n fire. The turn of a switch will start the current , which may be shut off agajn when n.o long r wanted. THOROUGHLY TESTED. An electric kitchen In full operation was exhibited at the World's fair In Chicago. All sorts of cooking were done. In It , Includ ing the roasting of joints and fowls , the broiling of steaks , the baking of bread and cakes , etc. , and the r-suits were extremely satisfactory. The only reason why this method of cookery has not already come Into general use Is that electricity , as a substi tute for fuel , costs more than coal or oil or gas. The difference of cost , In fact , Is con siderable , but It has so many advantages as to bo worth the price. Some day processes will be discovered by which electricity can be produced more cheaply and then even poor people will be able to afford decide ranges and heat. Meanwhile a good many people who are able to pay for the luxury are buying elec tric culinary apparatus. It Is undeniable thot th ? kitchen thus equipped Is a joy and n blessing free from dirt and noxious ga.sen , and cool. Think of the happiness of a kitchen that Is always cool ; of a cook who is not red In the face and soiled as to clothIng - Ing ; of a fire that requires no kindling , blng turned on or extinguished at an In stant's notice ! Why , under such conditions llfq assumes a new lU'pect from the point of view of the housewife. w Wllh the Introduction of the electric ichafing dish ends the era of the alcohol lamp , with Its disagreeable odor and liability to over flow and set flre to the tablecloth. Similar In Idea Is < the electric teakettle and stand , admirably adapted for 5 o'clock Tea. The stand Is connected with an electric wire ; a turn of the button , and presently the water for the beverage that cheers without Inebriat ing Is singing In the pot. Takeoff the tea- kcttls and you have In the stand a suitable apparatus for making coffee in a bachelor's' apartment , or for various uses'ln the nursery or sick room. In hospitals electric con trivances are particularly adapted for heating food , warming bandages , etc. The electric range looks very different from a range of the ordinary kitchen pattern. It IB more like a table , with a cupboard be neath for warming dishes and a shelf above for such supplementary articles as the chafing dish and coffee pot. On the table will be ue-en , perhaps , a porcclaln-llncd pot for boilIng - Ing or stewing , a griddle- and a broiler , while the ovens stand on the floor alongside. Ovens , pot , broiler , etc. , are attachable to wires when wanted for us ? . Overhead the aklm- inors and other small utensils hang from pegs on the wall. It Is said that meats roasted In the > elec tric oven have all the qualities of meats cooked In front of a flre , and they do not require basting or watching. They arc cooked more evenly and In lew time , while retaining a largo percentage of the nutri tious juices. Dread is baked In the same apparatus Ideally. No culinary process is mora difficult than to broil In a first class manner. The coal stove Is usually not In suitable condition , and the gas often Ignites the hot fat and bums , the food. The electric broiler doss Its work without singeing the [ oed , smoking It or burning It. The escaping juices are collected unspoiled In a pan be neath , to that the cook can readily baste the meat. Electric cook stoves are made In portable shapes , like gas stoves. Urns for beating water are Mid for use In hotels , restaur ants , barber shops and other places where lot water Is constantly required. An or dinary electric light wlro supplies the ca- orlc. The electric sad-Iron Is a boon alike .0 the- laundress and housewife. Tin cur rent supplied to it by a wire keeps It at a constant temperature , and thus no time Is est In changing and reheating Irons. Ono ron may b ? ucad continuously , and no coal > r gas steve Is required. The Iron never > cconus overheated ; It always remains clean and bright and does not require wiping to irevont the foiling of the fabric. The timeIs destined to arrive before long vhen houses will bo warmed In winter by electricity. What the electric lamp Is to artificial lighting , as furnlthed by the candle , oil Of gas , the electric heater Is to artificial icatlng. Iut the problem In this case Is very different from that of electric cooking. i"or the latter purpose the object aimed at Is o provide an apparatus that will localize ho heat as much as pot > ! bl3 , confining It to ho spot and not diffusing It through the surrounding air any more than can bo helped. On the othff hand , the Ideal heater for narmlng a duelling or other building would be Itself cool , the hcnt given off by It being diffused it ? much as possible. Of court ? , this 1 > scarcely practicable , tin the- electric heater Is n great linprov men In this respect over the ordinary stove o ndlAtor , which , while Itself very hot , Is ap to warm the air only In Its Immediate neigh borhood. Stoves and radiators , too , are uu lovely objects to the eye.

E. J. Wcssels lays great emphasis on th Importance of Improving the braking o street cars before any further development are mad ; In electric city traction. It \\n comparatively eaty to apply air brakes t cars making a maximum speed of twent miles an hour. This was and Is being sue ectffully , done In many places with cnttr satisfaction ; but with the advent of In creased speeds and ho.ivy rolling stock n \ factor ? have to be dealt with In the con structlon of the olflclent brake. It Is quit puMule that within the n xt two year a speed cf 100. miles iin hour can b ; nttalno. on Interurbnn roads. In recent Impcrtan railway construction , the weight of rail solidity of road bed and other features lea to the belief that this foundation tins bo" laid In order to secure a sp ed which wll leave steam trains behind. The ultlmat success of certain electric roads will hlng largely upon their ability to maintain a higher speed schedule than lias provei practicable on the steam roads which thr ) parallel. Mr. Wessels maintains that th street car air brake will be the last and only resort of managers operating cars nt these un usually high cpterls. Much has been salt about the electric brake , but It has not ye reached the commercial stage. An Inclden happened lately at Havre , Franco , whlcl shows how easily an electric car may b controlled and operated by even the device nt present available. One of the cars wa running at normal speed along the ftroa when n child , -1 years old , suddenly ran rlgh In front of It when a yard away. The motor man could not , of course , avoid passing eve the child , whoso body somewhat dodged th fender , but he pulled up the car In half It length. The child was safely taken out fron under the car through the movable flee panels , with a rather serious wound on HIP head , and suffering from shock , but alive am likely to recover. Had such an acclden happened In this country , wlrre city author Itles are not sulllcleutly altvo to the 1m peratlve necessity of compelling the strce car companies to adopt the bist available brake , there seems little doubt that the child would have besn Instantly killed. SIGNALING AT SEA. Many attempts have been made to perfec a system of electric-light signaling for use on sen or land. In almost every case , how ever feasible the plan proposed might seen on paper , when It came to n practical tcs It failed entirely. The faults are said to have been remedied In an electric signaling sjstem Invented In this country. The device employed Is a sort of typewriter , d liver Ing Its message , letter by letter , In midair or at any distant point. In gigantic characters of light. No other background than the sky Itself Is required. It Is said that signals Hashed by this syttem are visible with the naked eye for distances of from ono to three miles , according to the \\eathor , and tha with a glass the tlgnals may be easily reai up to ten miles. The keyboard Is manipu lated precisely as in an ordinary typewriter Its function being to switch In or dlrec the current through a i-crles of distributing wires , which are carried In a cableto the monogram or display frame. Thus , If 01 the keyboard the A button Is pressed , the lamps of all the members of the nionogran entering Into that letter Ehlno out slmul tancously , while all other lamps upon the display frame remain dead. And so en for every letter. The observer follows the let ters as they flash out one after another to spell out the words of the message. This Is , In fact , a sort of visual telegraphy whlcl can be made to convey Intelligence In any language possessing written signs. INJURING THE EYES. An English paper states that London oculists lists are up In arm ? against the very serious danger to the community caused by the elec tric light. Several eminent eye doctors are agreed on the point that unless n atop Is put to the exposure of uncovered electric lights In the streets and In shops and oUlces nearly all the population will become blind. Ex perts are BO greatly exercised In the matter that they even suggest that Parllainen should take It up and prohibit the use o plain glass globes for electric lights , unless they bs properly shaded. Commenting on this , a London electrical journal says : "Ii la not customary to look at the sun , and not even the most enthusiastic electrician wonh suggest that naked arcs and Incandescent filaments were objects to gaze at without limit. Cut naked lights are not usually placed ro as to come within the line of sight. The filament of a glow lamp , on the other hand. Is more likely to meet the eye , but a frosted bulb Is an extremely simple and com mon way of entirely getting over that dlfll- culty. The whole trouble can easily be remedied by the use of properly frosted or colored glass globes. In any case , how ever , the actual permanent Injury to the eye by the glowing filament Is no greater than that due to an ordinary gas flame. " ELECTRIC TANNING. A new method of tanning by electricity , which Is claimed to be suitable for both thin skins and heavy hi ( ley , and to require only from three to fix days , has been worked out by Herr Folslng. The tanning pit con tains 15,000 liters. Electrodes of nickeled copper are fixed to the walls cf the pit In which the hides are hung , so that the cur rent has to pass right through them. Light cowhides were found to require seventy-two hours , heavy cowhides five days and heavy oxhides six days. The > latter would require about a year by the- old process. The color of the leather Is not oven when commercial , unpurlfled extract Is used. Herr Folslng lays stress on this , and he himself uses an oak extract , with a little- hemlock extract added , which Is cleared and decolorized by a special electrolytic process. When this IB used the color Is exceedingly good and bright. WIRES UNDERGROUND. Happy Boston !
