Clamond, a French electrician, has suc ceeded in devising a thermo-electric battery, producing a current sulicient ly powerful to yield the electric light. A factory in Paris Is now, indeed, lighted by this means The apparatus 'consists of three parts; an inner one, composed of pieces of iron, v rrangedl in the form of a crown, which can be I-:ated in the interior. This is called the collector, its purpose being to col lect the heat and thou commtnicate it to the adjacent tiei'no-plie proper. This consists of a flexible chain, of any desired length, composed of cubes of antimony and zinc, soldered together by sheets of tin. In the complete ap paratus there are U.000 of these "'cou pi's," outsitle which are fixed the plates o' copper to diffuse the heat of' the collector. A large surface is thus exposed to the air, in order thatas great a difl'ererce of tenperature as possible can be maintained between t lie collector and the diffuser, for upon this dill'erc'netn tho.st.rength of the cur rent chteily depends. M. Clanond has been so successful that with one of his batteries he has been enabled to light two of' Serrin's lamps, and withi a snallei' but equally powerfuil battery lie can light lour less brilliant lamps. This done with the consumption of'uine kilograinnues, or about twenty pounds of' coke an hour for the larger, and six attl one-hall pounds for the smaller, therino-electric batter y. The appitra tus, moreover, gives warmth as well its light. since its large exterior surface causes it to radiate it considerable q11utity of heat. Qutack Nostrumus are pronounced by tht medical profession "i'o bane of society" but ite Bible says "To him who is afllicted p.ty shotihl be shown" and Dr. Silsbee, the dhiwoverer of "Anakesia" the only infaliiblo pile euro known to niodical art, desei ves a moniment at the hands of afllicted millions as a betofactotr of the human race, if as Jean Paul Richtor says-"llappiness is the iabsence of pain," what shall be safd of a remedy that will roliovo instantly such pain na those onduro who sulfor from piles andof how miuch happinoss must "Anakests" be the author. 5.0.000 of the millions ahlicted with piles gladly testify to its healing virtues. Doc tors of all schools prescribo it and in 20 years nor.o have used it without benolit. Combin ing the virtues of a poultice, au iistrutuit and mOdicine easy of application, nafo aei useful in all cases, it relieves pa.n at once, holds up the tumors and ultimately cures the weott cases of piles and what is renally worth knowing. by following the Doctorts printed in structions as to diet, liabits etc., keeps them cured.
