lIvely recollection , when superiustendeust of
Ibo foreign department , of the tremendous
ixcltemont In 1uglaud at certalu momentous
criea in the American civIl war. It was in
thee slays hooked upon as a piece of exceptional -
tional enterprise that several of the newspapers -
papers , in order to be the first to obtain
news from America , hired tenders to intercept -
cept the mail steamers when approaching
Cork harbor. Thcn would follow a race to
be first at the Itochies Point telegraph olfies' ,
whence the messages were telegraphed to
the old foreign gallery , and subsequently
sent out , sheet by sheet , for vubhlcatlon in
the special editions of the London lahicra.
This was , of course , before the laying of
the first Atlantic cable. The war ended In
April , 1S6i , while the laying of the first
cable was not conhileted until July 28 , 1SGL
The first cabling done over the line was
soniowhiat expensive , $100 beIng charged for
twouty words. This rate was reduced about
three months afterward to O for twenty
worls , and the following year it was looked
upon as comparatively cheap ciibhing Ihat a
man could send ten words for $26. That
was thirty years ago. The rate in now 25
cents a worth.

At the electrical exhibition held tu Maul-
son Square garden recently Prof. Short of
the Walker Electric company gave a lecture
with kinetoscoise pictures on electricity as
a railroad motIve lower. Tbe principal point
of his remarks was in reference to the use
of electric motors on elevated roads. llroolc-
lyn Is to have its elevtet ! roads operated in
this way , Prof. Short saId , In part :
'Thuia subject is of great interest at this
time because of the adoption of electricity by
the Brooklyn elevated roads and the careful
investigations now being made of the subJect -
Ject by the Manhattan Elevated Italhway
company , There are two reasons for the
adoption of electricIty by ehcvuuetl railways
-000 to reduce the cost. of opcratlon , the
other to increase Its schedule speed to the
utmost limit ,
"The cost of operation can be materially
reduced , as fully one-halt of the fuel will
be saved on account of the cheaper grade
of coal wbich can be hurned tinder stationary -
ary belIe , the tonnage remaining the same.
The Increased rapidity in the movement of
the trains will for the same service reduce
the train crow wages by a large percentage.
The repair expenses of the electrical equip-
haunt will show a large annual saving over
the relairs required by locomotives. The
decrease in the running time of the trains
lutist be nitide irincipally by stopping and
starting theta more rapidly.
"The method to be used on the Brooklyn
roads Is to use two small motors on eachi car
of the train , making ten motors instead of
four , all of the motors to be controlled froni
the front platform of the train. Even with
thIs method , known as the multiple unIt
systeni , it is nut PO3Slble to make more
than an eighteen-mile schedule on ordinary
elevated railways wIth one-third mile stops.
"Tli most serious problem in connection
with the operatIon of trains by means ot
electricIty over hong distances is the econoin-
Ical transmission. aml distribution of the
electric current from the main power sta-
Lion t the moving traius of the system.
No very long hines have yet been electri-
cahhy equipped owing to the cost of trails-
mitting the power. It is not practical to
use a higher Ircssure than 500 or 600 volts
in the thIrd rail. The cost of the copper
feeders for transmitting power at this pressure -
sure to great dItanccs is prohIbitive.
"There is , however , another way out of
the ditlhciihty. The power stations can be
provided with large generators of the alter-
tinting current type which will produce the
electrical energy and deliver it at high pressure -
sure to transmission hues , the current quan-
tlty being correspondingly small. This high
tension alternatIng current must be reduced
in pressure at intervals along the road and
fed into the third rail at the normal pressure -
sure of 100 volts. This can be done by
means of the ordinary static step-down
transformers , but they would feed the trol-
hey rail with an alternating current which
would not drive the curren motors on the
cars. It is therefore llecesary to interpose
between the secondaries of the static trauis-
formers and the thIrd rail of a rectifier or
rotary converter which changes the alternating -
nating current Into a direct current.
"It Is ouily recenUy that these rothry converters -
verters have been sleveloped , and we believe
that. the great succebs being attained by
this new niachine wIll stimulate the adop-
tlon of electricity for hong distance , high
Sliecul raIlways and that in a few years we
will see electric trains operated over iiiie
100 or even 200 miles in lengtlp. "

raIhy are Printed in the Journal of the Lon-

address delivered before that society by
l'rotessor Sylvanus I' . Thompson. one of tile
greatest living electrical authorities. Ito
states that Lodge , employing the electrIc

pisrenthy all the cxlCrlnlents luidic&ito that
fur the same ihsysicnl condItions otherwise
It is easier to traiismit iiiessagcs over the
sea than overland.
Thin most. significant and pregnant of
Professor Thiouiipson's remarks Is contained
in the conclusion of his lecture , in which
hie states that , gIven the proper base hine ,
or base areas , auid adequate methods of
throwing electric energy into thut , transmit-
thug systeni anti sufficiently sensitive instru-
uiients to take up the treniors and translate

Considering the s'xtreino delicacy and son-

the desired instruments will be a gre'st
while being developed io suit the locullur
requirements of thIs now art.

: 'uuul hicrlng's inetlioth of clearing rusted
Iron articles electrically has been very generally -
orally described , bti in answer to several
Inquiries It uiay be stated that It consists
i ) attaching a iIeee of ordinary zinc to tile
artIcles , antI thieu letting tbeni lie In water
to which a little auhihuric acid has been
added. Thiey should be left there for soy-
eral .lays . , the actual time tlcpeiihing upon
how badly they have been rusted. if there
Is much rust , a lIttle sulphuric acid aiiould
be unWed occasionally , The whole secret of
success is that the zinc must be in good
electrical contact wIth the iron , Mr. Ilering
recommends that an iron wire be twisted
tightly around the object and connected
with the zinc , For thIs a remnant of a battery -
tory sluic Is very useful , as it has a binding
post , The iron itself is not attacked as long
as the zinc Is In good electrical contact wIth
It. 'beu the iron Is but slightly rusted , a
galviunlzeth iron wIre can be wrapped around
the object in place of the zinc , provided the
acid is not too strong. The artIcles will
come out a shark gray or black color , and
should then be thoroughhy washed and oiled.
This method is wehl stilted to the cleaning
UI ) of flies and other articles wIth sharp
corners , upon which butting wheels should
not be used , The rusted Iron antI the zinc
make a short-circuited battery , the action
. of which rciuccs the rust back to iron , the
I change continuing as long as there is any
I rust heft.

I 'Tue strains to which telephone wires are
subjected when they are weighted with snow
or ice tony be gathered from the fact that
In Swttzerianul , even after an ordinary snowfall -
fall , or sluring frost , the snow or ice deposit
on a telephone wire two millimeters In dl-
ameter often reaches a thkkness of thirty
inllllnieters , or fifteen times that of the
wire. lii ft recent fall of snow at Zurich it
was niaserveul that the snow deposit on telephone -
phone wires hind a dIameter of no less than
sixty millimeters , or thuirty tinies that of
the wire. Taking the specific gravity of
the moist snow deposIt at one-fifth of thin
volume , a span of 100 meters would thus
have a scow weight of sixty kihogrammes ,
or more than twenty times the weight of
the wire. Many of the telephone posts at
Zurich support iron frames carrying as
ninny as 250 wires. The snow weight on
these , therefore , iii a si'afl of 100 meters
would ho fifteen tons , or twenty times more
than the weIght In copper. After such :
figures as these It Is not surprising that tehe-
ithone posts are often bent or brokeui hike
reels in a severe storm. The wires , too , are
the less able to support th strain , since
their normal rcslstenee becomes reduced by
the rapid and abnormal fall of teniperature
which : the storm usually brIngs wIth IL

Another very Ingenious apparatus , casien
"the phiototelegraph , " and resembling Szcze-
panlk's tclectroscopc , irns been contrIved by
the Austrian Major Schoetlier , teacher ot
bahhactlcs in the higher artillery course.
This apparatus renders it possible withIn a
few seconds to photograph : at a distant re-
celving station dispatches , newsiaper cuttings -
tings , etc. , whIch have been lut into a
camera obscurn at the dIspatchIng station.
The telegram , or whatever is to be trans-
nutted , is simply put into the apparatus. the
telegraphic traiisinlsslon tiking place auto-
maticahly. The dimensions of the nppara-
tus are very considerable. It consIsts of a
message sender and a message receIver , the
two being almost identical. Thin Principal -
pal Involveil is as follows : A wheel coy-
ered wIth selenium cells rotates close to a
second wheel , which is provided wIth cam-
err , obscura. sViieii a. sheet of written matter -
ter is placed in the dispatch sender the
parts covered with : Ink acts on thin cells
differently from the blank parts. As often
as the image of a wrItten character falls
upon a selenium cell thin current ciretilating
in the whiei is weakened. This change at-
fects the dIspatch receiver as a difference
I of light and It netC on a strip of sensitive
PaPerS As the apparatus at the two ends
work perfectly synchronistieahiy the situation
of the phlotegrnlhiic dots exactly corresponds
with that of the dots Ia the original dls-
patch. Major Schoeifler calculates that
such an nhiaratus will ho able to transmit
600 telegrams an liner ; that Is , 11,000 in
twenty-four hours in both directions. if
milk glass be substituted for the sensitive
paper and if the machine lie niade to work
I 140 fast that the whole ullstance Is traverseul
in less than one-seventh of a second , then
for a moment the message will appear on
the milk glass plate as a shining image.
The action ot the major's apparatus rests
upon the different effect whIch whilte anti
black prodtlCo tulOn selenium. lie dispenses
with the reproduction ot color , which the
telectroscope does not ; but , on the othier
hand , his npnrutus Is slmpier. The major
