ELECTRICITY Remarkable ^Progress teen "5 Wasning "The age of electricity is only jost dawning," .id Assistant Commission er of Patents Greely, "and one ad vance in this direction which ?we are about to witness is the . conversion of the steam, railroads of this country into electric railroads-a change that would have been accomplished already to a large extent but for the immense amount of money invested in locomo tive and the first enormous expense of installing an electric plant. Cars have already been run by electricity at a rate exceeding 60 miles an hour, and electric locomotives have proved themselves superior to those depend? ; ing on steam power. One advantage of the electric locomotive engine is that it emits no smoke or cinders, and the water power of any river within a few miles of the line may be utilized instead of fuel to run it. "The first electric road for city or suburban traffic was put in operation a dozen years ago.. At present there are in the United States more than 15,000 miles of such roads, represent ing a total investment of $900,000,000 and employing about 175,000 persons. In 1880 there were caiy three electric light and power establishments in this country, to-day there are more than 10,000 such establishments, employing 50,000 men and $500,000,000 of capi tal. The telephone in 1880 was just - beginning to be commercially known; now there'axe over 1,000 exchanges, using 600,000 miles of wire and em ploying 15,000 individuals and $85, 000,000 of capital. "These few figures give a notion of the wonderful progress^ made hythe electrical art during the last few years of the nineteenth century. It has ex tended itself over the industrial field to such an extent as largely to modify social and economic conditions, inci dentally giving gainful occupation to a vast nnmber of persons. To-day the support; of considerably over 1,- ? ?00,000 people in this country is de rived from enterprises which depend upon electricity, and to this number there 'will be an enormous addition 1 when electricity is substituted for . steam as motive power on thc rail ways. "Electricity is invading all the arts and industries. The manufacturer .finds it more econbmic to attach a motor to each of his machines, dis tributing power through his .factory by means of wires. Coal is now cut in the mines by electric power, carried to the pit's mouth by the sume agency, and loaded upon electric cars for tran s sportation. The demand for copper for.electrical uses is mainly account able for the fact that the output of this, metal in the United States has been multiplied by six since 1880. To make a telephone circuit from Boston to Chicago requires over 1,000,000 pounds of copper. . "Many marvelous things are being accomplished with metals by the aid of electricity, among which may be mentioned the welding together of such substances as steel, copper, nickel, etc.-a task that was deemed impossible until recently. With the employment of the electric arc a new chemistry of high temperature is in prospect, promising fresh discoveries of high industrial value. By this means a heat of 7,200 degrees Fahren heit is attained, which is sufficient to reduce all known substances. Hence the electric furnace, in which gold, iron, platinum, and copper are volati lized, and by the holp of which actual diamonds have been manufactured from charcoal. "Already we have learned how to send seventy-two messages simulta neously over a single wire. We can transmit the handwriting of an indi vidual by telegraph, and in the same way we can actually reproduce half tone pictures at long distances. Be fore long we shall be able tc reproduce full typewritten pages by telegraph, just as we now send words on a paper ribbon, and wireless telegraphy seems to be in sight. When the proposed Pacific cable is laid, it will be practi cable to send a message around the world in three seconds, and it iz prom ised that a method will bc found for telegraphing between ships many miles apart at sea. Even now it no longer seems so very wonderful that by the touoh of a button at the naval obser vatory in Washington each day at noon 100,000 clocks all over the United State's should be set to the true time, while time balls are dropped at the same instant at all seaports ca the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, for the benefit of marines. "The great problem likely to be solved in the twentieth century is the transformation of heat into electricity direct. When this is accomplished, Biddy in the morning will start a fire the heat of which will fill a series of storage batterie* that will do most of the work of the household during the day, illuminating the dwelling, pro pelling the machine fans, running the sewing machine, operating the dumb UP TO DATE. ; During 3?asti Nine rears. ton Post, waiter, and so forth. This, however, is only a faint suggestion of the ad vantages tobe gained by the discovery I speak of. Electricity will then be come an exceedingly cheap source of energy, and the sun's rays may even be employed to manufacture the fluid. ! If, as does not seem unlikely, a twen tieth century inventor finds a practi cal way of harnessing the tides, the j latter will produce at very slight ex pense all the electricity required to run all the machinery and to heat and illuminate all the houses in the United States. "The houses of many rich men to day are run to a great extent by elec tricity, which lights them, ventilates them, and even operates the family elevator. This kind of elevator is itself a very new invention; it has no attendant, but is so controlled by the invisible force stored in great jars of lead and acidulated water in the bat tery room that is as safe and docile as any well trained servant. Anybody who wants to make use of it presses a button, and the car comes responsive ly to the floor desired. Stepping aboard, the passenger touches one of a series of buttons inside, and the car transports him to the floor he wishes to go to. If the promises of electri cal experts are to be accepted, our dwellings before long will be lighted by electricity without wires. "An extremely valuable product of the electrical furnace, by the way, is carborundum-now being made in a large way at Niagara-which is the hardest of all substances save the dia mond, and therefore serves extremely well as an abrasive. By electrolysis aluminium is separated from its ore, and thus has been brought to a point of exceeding cheapness, while by the same means ordinary brine is sepa rated into two valuable products chlorine for bleaching and sodium for soap manufacture. "Electricity is now recognized as a most useful agent in medicine, being employed in a great variety of ways. In some complaints it has a remark-' abie- power of stimulating function, and it has been found that certain drags put on a moistened electrode can be carried into the body with the current, so as to benefit directly a dis eased part. Various kinds of morbid growths are removed instantaneously and painlessly by electro-cautery, and the only successful method for getting rid of superfluous hair is that of the electric needle, which is gently intro duced into the hair follicle and kills the root. Nowadays operative instru ments for the nose, mouth and throat, whether drills, saws or what not, are controlled by electricity, while tiny incandescent lamps, swallowed by the patient or otherwise manipulated, are utilized to illuminate thc cavities of body and head so as to reveal condi tions to the physician. "Street cars are not only run by electricity, but are illuminated and heated by the same agency. The beaters used for this purpose require no attention, regulate the temperature exactly as it may be desired, and, when used on railway trains, do not endaoger the safety of passengers. One of the latest improvements is to provide each berth in a sleeping car with an incandescent light, so that one may read if slumber comes not. Similarly, incandescent lights are now provided for carriages, and they are even coming into use for cabs. The emperor of Germany has his closed carriages lighted in this way, and in addition, the harnesses of his horses are covered with small glowlights of different colors, so as to produce a very beautiful effect. "The twentieth century will see electricity introduced in the kitchen in place of coal and wood. In order that this may bc accomplished it is only necessary that the fluid should be made a little cheaper, inasmuch as it serves much better for all culinary purposes. The electric oven bakes bread ideally, and meats prepared in it -onot require basting or watching, while broiling or frying may be done in superior style on thc electric range. The electric chafing dish is attachable at a moment's notice tz an ordinary lightwire, the current is turned on, and i/umediately the oysters begin to stew or the eggs to frizzle. In the electric kitchen of the near future there will be no coal, no ashes, and no smoke; there will be no fuel and not even a battery, inasmuch as the re quisite current will be furnished from the outside, as gas is now. The sad irons used on Tuesdays for the family linen will be heated by electricity, and will be kept thus at a constant temperature, so that they will never scorch things and will not require changing or re-heating. Already we have electric curling-tongs, which, be ing hitched to a light wire, are war ranted not to singe the hair. "Electric boats are now plying on the canals of Venice, and launches similarly propelled are being made for American warships, the power being derived from storage batteries beneath the boats. The trolley meanwhile threatens to supplant the industrious but uncertain mule for the propulsion of canal boats. In the cities canned electricity, as it might be termed, is now delivered to customers, the emp tied batteries being taken away every day and replaced with full ones. At the same time agricultural machines mn by electricity are being introduced to the farmers, and there is even a device for the wholesale electrocution of weeds. Among recent inventions are an electric incubator, and experts are making experiments in the forcing of thc growth of plants by electric lights and by current put through wires underground." Tillman's Candor. Whatever may bc said against Sen ator Tillman, we cannot help admiring his political courage and his blunt frankness in dealing with political is sues. Tillman calls a pitchfork a pitchfork and spares not. He is quo ted as having Faid in a recent speech that thc dispensary was not intended to be moral, but .simply to give the people plenty of good liquor and to give the profits of the liquor business to the State instead of the bar keep ers. This is tie literal truth. The State of South Carolina is engaged in the liquor business for the profit that there is in it. Or perhaps we would be nearer to the truth if we should say that the Tillman party inaugurated the dispensary system for the good that they could get out of it. -Now that Tillman has told the truth, let us hear no more about the dispensary system as a movement in the interest of temperance. It is a movement in the interest of politics, and while it has been of profit to politicians and possibly of profit to the State govern ment, it has been a disgrace to the people of South aCarolina and a source of no end of strife and scandal.

Henry Crawford Tucker, a primitive Baptist clergyman, 95 years old, who died recently, - in Florida, built the first log cabin on thc site of Tallahassee, and was the first settler of that place. His wife was thc only white woman in that region. There were hostile bands of Indians and runaway negro slaves in the vicinity. Mr. Tucker was a native of South Carolina. He settled in Tallahassee seventy-five years ago. He wr s thrice married, his children numbering eight - een sons and fourteen daughters. His descendants, at the time of his death, aggregated 714. - A woodmau named Oliver, living in Tennesse, while cutting wood a few days ago saw two foxes remaining con stantly near a fallen tree. Upon ap "proacning the tree he discovered a large limb with a cavity in which were two half grown foxes. Neither was able to walk, and evidently had never been out of their place of, confinement. It seems probable that the foxes crawled into the hole in the limb when very young and remained there until they had grown so that escape was im possible. They had been fed by the old foxes through a small aperture in tbe limb. - Indefatigable scientists and ex plorers long ago established the fact that a race of people possessing a high order of iutelligencc dwelt on what is now thc soil of the United States prior to the existence of the Indians. The discoveries recently made of marvel lous systems of reservoirs, irrigation canals and viaducts beneath the lava beds of New Mexico, however, lead to the suggestion that, perhaps, research in North America lie beneath these vast siesmlc deposits, which in that territory alone extend over an area of hundreds of square miles. The fact that the newly found and wonderful engineering devices are found beneath the lava beds is alone sufficient to at test their antiquity, as ages have elapsed since the molten rock issued from the vast crevices torn open by successive earthquakes. A Girl's Idea of Boys. At an examination in a certain school for girls an essay on "Boys" was ordered written, and this was one of the compositions : "The boy is not an animal, yet he can be heard to a considerable dis tance. When a boy hollers he opens his mouth like a frog, but girls hold their tongue 'tili they are spoken to, and they answer respectable, and tell just how it was. A boy thinks he is clever because he can wade where it is deep, but God made the dry land for every living thing, and rested on the seventh day. When the boy grows up he's called a husband and stays out nights, but the grew up girl is a wid ow and keeps house." A FAMOUS CONFLICT. THE GREATEST DUEL WITH SWORDS THAT HISTORY RECORDS. It Wu? FoiiR'ht In the Pre?ence ot a Whole .Vriii.%. und Twelve Mastern Kt Arni* Went Down In Succe?n?on, Killed hy tue Blade of Jean Lou ls. So extraordinary is this combat that it would bc held a romance had it not been witnessed by a whole army. The hero was Jean Louis, one of the great est masters of swordsmanship who ev er lived, and the combat happened in Madrid in 1813. He was the master at arms oC the Thirty-second regiment of French infantry-the First regiment, composed entirely of Italians, forming part ol' the same brigade. Regimental esprit de corps and rivalries of nation ality caused constant quarrels, when swords were often whipped out or bul lets exchanged. After a small battle had occurred in the streets of Madrid, in which over 200 French and Italian soldiers had taken part, the officers of thc two regi ments, in a council of war assembled, decided to give such breaches of order a great blow, and to re-establish disci pline they agreed that tho masters at arms of the two regiments should take up the quarrel and fight it out. The details of the battle were simple and quickly arranged. The duel was to take place in the open and in the presence of the whole army. The crack i swordsmen of the two regiments were selected, and each group arranged the I order in which their men were to face ' their opponents. The next day was thc time set for the bloody ordeal. : Shortly after daybreak, as the sim rose, the army assembles. Then a mo ment of expectancy. The drum Is heard. Two men naked to the waist step into the ring. Thc first is tall and strong. His black eyes rove disdainfully upon the gaping crowd. He is Giacomo Ferrari, the I celebrated Italian. The second, tall, also handsome and with muscles like steel, stands modestly awaiting the word of command. His name is Jean Louis. Tho witnesses assume their places on either side of their princi pals. A deathlike silence ensues. "On guard!"' The two masters cross swords. Giacomo Ferrari lunges re peatedly at Jenn Louis, but in vain. His every thrust is met by a parry. He makes up his mind to bide his ! chance and caresses and teases his op ponent's blade. Jean Louis, calm and watchful, louds himself to the play, when, quicker than lightning, the Italian jumps aside with , a loud yell and makes a terrible lunge at Jean Louis-a Florentine trick, often successful. Rut, with extraordinary rapidity, Jean Louis has parried, and risposts quickly in the shoulder. "It is nothing," cried Giacomo, "a mere scratch/' and they again fall on guard. Almost directly lie is hit in thc breast. This time tho sword of Jean Louis, who is now attacking, pene trates deeply, Giacomo's face becomes livid, his sword drops from his hand and he falls heavily on the turf. He is dead. Jean Louis is already in position. He wipes his reeking blade; then, with thc point of his sword in the ground, he calmly awaits the next mau. Ile has j hardly had two minutes' rest. Ile is I ready. A new adversary stands before him. I A sinister click of swords is heard, a lunge, a parry, a rispost, and then a cry, a sigh, and all is over. A second body Is before Jean Louis. A third ad ; versary advances. They wanted Jean Louis to rest. "I am not tired," he answers, with a smile. The signal is given. The Italian is as tall as the one who lies there a corpse, covered by a military cloak. He has closely watched Jean Louis' play, and thinks he has guessed the se cret of his victories. Ho'multiplies his feints and tricks, and then, all at once, bounding like a tiger on his prey, he j gives his opponent a terrible thrust in the lower line. Rut Jean Louis' sword has parried, and is now deep within his opponent's breast. ? "What need to relate any more. Ten new adversaries followed him, and the ten fell before Jean Louis, amid the exeited yells and roars of au army. At the request of the Thirty-second regiment's colonel, who thought thc lesson sufficient, Jean Louis, after much pressing, consented to stop the combat, and he shook hands with the two survivors, applauded by 10,000 men. ' " Sterenaon n* a Bnrftlnr. Mr. Edmund Gosse has written a pa per on "Stevenson's Relations With Children" in Chambers' Journal. In it he relates a story of lils youthful days :is narrated to himself by Steven son. He was still a little fellow when in the summer holidays, after reading a number of detective novels of a bad kind, he was passing one Sunday after noon along a road in an Edinburgh suburb. There he saw a deserted bouse, furnished, but without a care taker. It struck young Stevenson that it would be a line thing to break inr> this house, which be accordingly did. roaming from room t<. room, looking at books and pictures in great excite ment, until he thought ho heard a noise in the garden. Terror seized upon bim as he imagined himself handcuffed and conveyed to prison just as the church folks were returning home. He burst out crying, then managed to creep out as 'ne had come in.
