" The Dawning Light-a
While the Electric light has seemingly
made but slow progress, it has really been
making rapid advances toward perfection.
Edison, the Wizard of Menlo Park, still
promises and promises, but hesitates to give
the word “go,” yet other inventors are not
slumbering, and gradually the light is being
introduced not only in this country but in
the Old World. The fact that many of the
largest and best houses in the country con—
tinue using the light, and others are putting
it in, argues that the Light is better and
cheaper, for certain purposes, at least, than
any other known illuminating material.
There is reason to hope that the time is not
far distant when the light will be successfully
introduced for the lighting of manufactories
stores, streets, and even dwellings. Already
a dozen large companies have been formed
introducing the light, and where there is so
much sharp competition, .with so much
‘ capital to “push things," it will be strange
if new and great improvements are not soon
made, rendering the light entirely practical,
and its use universal.
The Daily Graphic, in a recent article en—
titled “The Light of _the Future,” says:
While the several electric light companies
' conduct their operations by difierent meth.
ods, they in reality are governed by two
systems only—the _Voltaic are system, named
in honor of the inventor of the battery with
which it was produced for the first time, and
the incandescent system. These differ
merely as to the lamps employed, the current
being generated in the same way for both.
The Voltaic arc lamp consists of two sticks
or pencils of carbon placed and to end and
the machinery for. regulating theig move-
ments as to keep the ends of the two pencils
slightly separated from each other. The
current of electricity is then made to pass
through these pencils. They are at first
placed in contact with each other, and as
soon as the current begins to pass are slight—
ly separated, and what is known as the Vol-
taic are is formed between the ends of the
pencils by the current jumping'across from
one to thee tlier. This is intensely bright, and
is the most powerfulsource of artificial light
known. ' '
The incandescent lamp: consists at a con-
, tinuous strip, made of material which is a
bad conductor of electricity, such as platinum
or carbon, andwhen the current is passed
through it it becomes heated to a whiteheat,
technically known as “incandeseuce” and:sq
produces light. Carbon is now employed
almost entirely for the incandescent parteof
such lamps, and as it would rapidly consume
in the open air it is enclosed in a glass globe
in a vacuum .or some gas which does not
unite with carbon. The light produced by
the Voltaic arc lamp is very brilliant but of
a bluish tinge, and always more or less
unsteady on account of the impurities of the
carbon pencils and the difiiculty of always
precisely regulating their movements. In
this form of lamp the pencils are gradually
consumed, and the regulating machinery
feeds them together to make up for the
consumption at the points, but has not yet
been made to work as perfectly as to avoid
considerable flickering of the light. The
light produced in this way is much cheaper
than any other artificial illuminator, and is
especially adapted to places where the qual-
ity of the lights is not so much of an object
as quantity. The Voltaic system is largely
used for lighting public buildings. large halls,
railroad stations, factories, warehouses, but
is not adapted to lighting ordinary rooms,
both on account of its objectionable qualities
and the great difiiculty of subdividing it into
small lights. The lamps also need consider-
able attention, as the carbon pencils have to
, be removed at least once a day.
, The incandescent light is by far the most
' perfect artificial light yet devised, and is en—
tirely free from all the objectionable qualities
of the Voltaic are light, but is somewhat more
expensive, although recent experiments have
demonstrated that it is considerably cheaper
than gas. In lamps of this form the currents
can be subdivided to any extent and can be
made to give as small lights as ordinary gas
jets. The light is steady and is of the same
quality as sunlight in regard to color. It is
safe and requires no attention. '
Of “The Fuller Electrical Company,” of
New York. of which our fellow-towns-
man, HENRY I. Horr, Esq, is President, the
Graphic says:
'rirs FULLER snuornioan COMPANY.
This company was organized in the fall of
1878, under the laws of this State, with a
capital of $870,000, and like the other com—
panies at the start encountered numerous
obstacles to success, all of which in time
were overcome, and with the others it is on
the road to fortune, being unable to fill the
orders which for weeks back have been
pouring in from the great business houses,
manufacturing firms, and the different towns
and cities. The company manufacture both
the Voltaic arc and the incandescent lamps,
the latter of;which is similar in some respects
to the Edison pattern, but with theirrown,
improvements and under their own patent.

pany, wherever used, is pronounced tobe
better than any of the numerous other elec-
tric lights in use, giving more illuminating
power which is 'casy and safe to handle, is
devoid of the offensive glare which is a
characteristic .of some, and‘is cheaper. Their
lamps are adapted to use in public buildings,
halls, colleges, steamers, ferryboats and on
railroad trains. . ,
The ofiicei‘s of the company, the head—
quarters of which is at No. 44 East Four-
teenth at, N. Y., are as follows : President,

Seymour Geary; Trustees, Henry I. Hoyt,-

It will be seen by the names of the Trus—
tees that this company is conducted by men
noted for ability, character and standing.

French patents, which are of great value.
Mr. Hoyt devotes his constant attention to
the interests of the company, and is enthusi-
astic in his belief that great success will be
achieved. . . , .
The New York Evening Post recently sent
1 a reporter to inquire of merchants and others
their opinions concerning the f operation of
the Brush lights on Broadway from Union
Square to 27th street. He found‘ that the
light gave good satisfaction on the whole.
The article closes with the following para-
graph: .
“llIany persons liave.probably noticed an
electric light which has been hanging high
up in the air, in front of the Everett House,
for the last few months. This lamp, which
has given a line and steady light at much
greater power than the Brushlamps, belongs
to the Fuller Electric Light Company, No.
44 East Fourteenth street. This company
owns the Gramme (French) patentsand makes
me lights which are favorably regarded by
many business houses. Any one passmg in

Blair at: Fiske. the Taylor street manufac-
turers, are trying the experiment of lighting
their work rooms with elecric lights, using a
four light machine of the Fuller 00., i for
all night work. Three of the lights are hung
on a line in the center of the spacious thi‘rd
story room where the bulk of their work is
done, a room running the entire width of the
building, and the fourth is placed on the
same floor of the adjoining section, which

W. H. Elkins, agent of the New York
Fuller Electrical Company, who has put three
Fuller Electric lamps into the Blair «it Fiske
M’f’g Co’s Taylor street shop, illuminated the
vicinity of the shop last evening by placmg
a lamp on the roof of the building and turn-
ing its rays toward the Bridge street rink.
. The buildings opposite, and the Phillips
Manufacturing Company’s building _ were
shown up with almost daylight brilliaucy,
while as far away as the Hillmau street end
of the rink a newspaper could be read with-
out difiicnlty. The. light was run only about
half an hour because of the intense cold on
top of the building. The power at times
was about 7,000 candles, and between two
and three horse power was required to run it,
and the light was pretty steady.

The electric light shown from the Dolly
News building, last evening, was a deCided
success. The light was visible for many
paper could be easily read by it. It
was plainly visible in Agawam, and one far-
mer in Suffield, Conn, claims that he could
see the reflection on the sky. The machine
worked very steadily ; but the exhibition had
to be shortened owing to the intense cold.
The managers will not make any more out-
side experiments, as they have to go to a
great expense and labor. Three more lights
will be put in Blair & Fiske’s, making six in
all. The light looked particularly well last
evening when it was turned towards the
heavens, it making a bright inverted funnel,
like a waterspout. of light .touching the
clouds.
Springfield Daily Union, Jan. 28.
There was a very successful exhibition of
the electric light, Thursday evening, from
the roof over Blair &‘ Fiske’s Taylor street
manufactory. The light was sufiloicntiy
strong to make the vicinity of the Bridge
street skating rink as bright as noondsy.
The prevalence of diphtheria in certain lo-
calities is believed to have created more alarm
Physicians
assert that the fright is carried so far that
almost every ailment noticed in a child is
taken for diphtheria, and that diphtheria
treatment is often hastily administered by
anxious parents in innocent cases of cold.
An employee of the New York board of
health tells the Son that the most important
part of the instructions issued by the board
for general guidance refer to the early symp-
toms of the disease. “Give heed,” he says
in his interpretation of this part of the cir-
cular, “the moment you observe signs in
your child of unwonteil weakness, fatigue,
companied with little fever. Make the child
frequently, open its mouth, so that you can
observe the throat. It is in the throat that
the lay obscrverwill first discover any cer-
tain signs of diphtheria. Never mind how
red or how much inflamed the throat ap—
pears. That does not indicate the disease.
But the instant you see a white spdt and
detect a bad odor run for the doctor. The
white spot will grow. Other white spots
will appear, and eventually they will‘ruu to-
gether in great blotchcs if the disease is not
checked. The time to seek medical assist-
ance is before these spots run together.” g

When General Grant visited Girard Col—
lege in Philadelphia, he asked one of the in-
for a
structors: “Doyou allow the boys to use
tobacco .5” The instructor responded in the
negative. “That’s right,” said the General ;
“theyji'c not so apt to take to it after they

’Edwin Booth, when not on the stage, is a
great smoker. But he never dri iks any
alcoholic liquors. Tea is his only stimulant.
He never attends late dinners onsuppcrs and
never has an “out.” After acting he is very
much depressed and likes to lie abed to re
cuperate during much of the next day.
The reward of honest industry, is a fine
thing, if it ever comes, but a good fat office
also has its advantages. For instance, the
income of the tax receiver at Philadelphia for
the last two years has been estimed at $200,—
000 a year, under the operations of a law
passed in 1879 in regard to delinquent taxes.

Henry Ward Beecher,iu aspeech at a tem-
perance meetipg in his church at Brooklyn on
Sunday evening said :-I think it is a shame
that Dr. Crosby in New York, stands alone
almost in the fight he is attempting to make
against intemperance. Dr. Crosby means the
reformation of men from vice, and the pro
vention of crime, and whether he is right or
wrong in his notions, the animus of his con-
flict is for temperance, and that such a man
should stand withoutsympathy and concur-
rent help is a shame.

The revised version of the New Testa-

lowinévis the Lord’s Prayer as it appears in
the revision published by the London Rec-
ord : “Our Father which. art in heaven, hal-
Thy kingdom come.
Thvaill be done, as in heaven. so on earth.
.Give us this day ‘our daily bread. And for—
give us our debts, as we also have forgiven
our debtors. And lead us not into tempta—
tion, but deliver us from the evil one.” The
retention of the pronoun “which” instead
of substituting "who”in its place is the
English revisers’ preference. “Have for-
given” in place o‘f “forgive” is in conformi—
ty with the Greek texts of Lachi'nann,
Tischendorf and Trcgellcs. ' -
General Harrison of Indiana, went into the

“The Commercial Value of Mis-.
’ .sions."
' From the Congregationalzbt.
The business man who is inclined to croak
because so much money from this country is
spent for missionary work in heathen lands
ought to hide his face in shame afterlearning
the facts in the case as brought out by Rev.
George Hood of Minneapolis in the February
Foreign Missionary. For example, the trade
between Boston and the Sandwich Islands for
.year ending June, 1879, was' $125,350, the
profits on which at twelve and a half per
cent. would amount to $15,669, while the
amount furnished by the American Board to
the Hawaiian missions that year was but $6,
023. Taking the whole country for that
year the official figures at Washington show
that for every dollar expended on that mis—
sion there was received back in the United
States in the way of trade $115. ' This is
only a single illustration of the commercial
value of missions. Wherever the missionary
goes in heathen lands he is the best possible
commercial traveler. Even in the dark
places of Africa about the first thing the na-
tive wants on taking a step upward is a shirt,
and the shirt in almost every case is the her
ginning‘of a long and perpetual train of wants
. and necessities created by missionary work_

A majoi' loved a maiden so.
His'Warlikc heart Wesson as Do".
He loft‘WOuld kneel to her and say:
"Thou art of life my only Re.
“Ah! if but kinder thou would’st be,
And sometimes sweetly smile on Mr“.
“Thou art my life, my guiding star,
I love thee near,‘I love thee Fa.
“My passion I cannot control,
' Thou art the idol of my Sol.”
. The maiden said: “Oh, fiei ask Pa,
How can you go on thus? Oh, 13a”
The “major” rose from bended knee,
And went her father for to Si.
The father thought no match was finer,
This “major” once had been a “minor.”
They married soon, and after that,
Dwelt in ten rooms all on “one flat.”
So happy ends the little tale,
For they lived on the grandest “scale.”

“Do you—ahem !—do you ever: print art
items in your paper ?” asked a rather seedy-
looking man with long hair, a slouch hat and
paint on his fingers, softly edging into the
Post’s inner sanctum the other day.
The managing editor glared savagely up
from his noonday sandwich, and evidently
repressing a desire to add the lOng-liaired
party to his viands, replied in the affirmative.
“Because,” continued the young man,scow-
ling critically a: a cheap chromo on the wall;
“because I thought if you cared to record the
progress of real aesthetic art culture on this
coast you might send your art critic around
to my studio to take some notes."
'“Might eh I said the editor between chews.
“Yes, sir. For instance, there is a mam-
moth winter storm landscape I've just finish-
ed for Mr. Mudd, the Bonanza king. It's
called a ‘Hail storm in the Adirondacks,
and a visitor who sat down near it the other
day caught a sore throat in less than fifteen
minutes. The illusion is so perfect, you un—
derstand. Why, I had to put in the finish-
ing touches with ulster and Arctic overshoes
on." '
“Don‘t say?”
' “Fact, sir ; and then there’s a little animal
gem I did for Governor Glerkins the other
day—portrait of his Scotch terrier ‘Snap-
studio, and the minute it saw the picture it
went through the window like a ten-inch
shel .”
“Did, eh 2”

that when I next leoked at the canvas the
dog’s hair was standing up all along his back
like a porcupine. Now, how do you account
for that f” ‘

“G’ood scheme, ” growled the President

“Wasn’tit, thOugh? My best hold. how-
ever, is water views. You know George
Bromley. and how abstracted he is some-
times. Well, George dropped in onemorning
and brought up before an eight. by twelve
view of the San Joaquin River, with a boat
in the foreground. I’m blessed if George
didn’t absent-mindedly take off his coat and
step clear through the canvas trying to jump
into the beat—thought he'd go out rowing,
you know.” ‘ ‘ '
“Have they carried out the journeyman
with'the smallpox P" said the editor, winking
at the foreman, who had come in just then
to swear for copy.
"Smallpox? That reminds me of a rea-
listic historical subject I’m engaged on now,
‘The Plague in Egypt.’ I had only comple-
ted four of the principal figures when last
Tuesday the janitor, who sleeps in the next
room, was taken out to the hospital with the
most pronounced case of leprosy you ever
saw, and this morning the boy who mixes
the paints began' to scale off iike'a slate roof.
I don’t really know whether to keep onywith

“‘It strikes me that you had better slide,"

“No,” said the editor, as he again lowered
himself into the depths of a leader on the
Roumanianimbroglio; "but if you care to
touch up two window frames, some desk
legs, and the fighting editor’s black eye for
four hits and a lot of comic exchanges, you
(can sail in.”
“It’s a whack!” promptly ejaculated the
disciple of :esthetic culture, and, borrowing
a cigarette from the dramatic critic on account
he drifted ofl‘f after his brushes.

The ctfiee house movement started'a year
ago in New York appears to be meeting the
same gratifying success as in the English
cities and towns. The work is managed by
an incorporated company with a capital of
$30,000 and of which J. W. Drexel is the
president. About $15,000 has been spent in
the enterprise, $7,000 of which has gone for
the purchase of'furniturc, ranges, cooking
utensils, etc. Quite ii number of coffee
houses have been started and more will be
established as soon as good sites and superin-
tendents can be secured. The company se-
lects only corner stores where the competi-
tion with grog shops will be the sharpest.
If several rummeries are near by, so much
the better. Each coffee house keeps its own
accounts,but the buying is done at wholesale
by one man. The work. has recently been
extended to the peddling Of hot coffee in the
early morning in the temement houses, and
promises well, and the company is consider-
ing the project of selling soups and other
cooked food to be carried home. .
Moclk Auctions.
Inuumerable-stories are told of the bold—
ness and sharpness of the managers of mock
auctionwf furnit-e. Thre is one house in
Twenty-third street of which the whole fur-
niture (of a family declining house keeping)
has been sold every two days for the last
year, and another in Sixth avenue near Nine-
teenth street where the same game is carried
on. When a person buys anything at these
auctions he never returns again, and the fact
that there are always fresh victims shows
how large afloating population New York
contains.
sales is seldom delivered, duplicate sets not
qiiiteso good being sent to the purchasers.
The goods are made mostly inthe west and
are of the flimsiest description. A story is
told about a set or parlor furniture from
one of these places which “exploded"; with
loud detonations and went all to pieces two
Weeks after it was bought. The auctioneer
'had told the purchaser that he would be as—
tonished at the way in which that, furniture
would wear, and/he was astonished. An-‘
other victim, after enduring agonies from
bad odors in his house for months, discover-
ed, after every other nook had been examin-
ed, that his auction-bought parlor suit was
stuffed with seaweed, which when slightly
heated emitted frightful odors. This was
only discovered when one of the chairs col-
lapsed of its own weight one evening. One
of the indications that the business is a pay-
ing one is the fact that the mock auctioneers
have plenty of money to spend on long ad—
vertisements, beside employing a small army
of confederates who bid against each other
until-a bid is obtained from a victim.-—Neu

While the recent efforts of certain promi-
nent European astronomers have failed to
give convincing proof of an eleven year cycle
in the occurrence of great. financial panics
corresponding to the “sun-spot period,” it is
believed to be well established that a relation
exists between the activity of the sun’s phot-
ospherc and electrical activity on the earth,
It has been shown through a long series of
yearsthat the periods of magnetic variation
coipcide with the period of sun spots; not
rigidly, butsufiiciently close to prevent the
probability of a chance connection. Inone
case at least, when observers have been look-
ing at the sun through telescope, and have
recorded the exact instant of solar activity,
the magnetic needles over the earth were
violently affected, rigidly opointiug out a
new meridian. Auroras were neted, even
in southern latitudes. Telegraph lines re -
fused to work, and shocks were given to the
operators. _
n a recent note to the French Academy,
M. J. Seure announced some very successful
experiments in the preservation of meat by
dextrine. He exhibited three specimens of
meat which had been perfectly preserved: by '
dcxtrine for the space of twenty months.
M. Mercadier has devised a form of electric
lamp suitable for theproduction of intermit-
tent luminous signals. It is operated by a
cam, which separates the carbons at each
revolution. The cam is turned by c100kwork
for regular signals, or by hand, at a variable
rate, for the irregular ones. '
News from Cairo states that to the north
of Memphis, near Saggarah, two pyramids
have been discovered which were constructed
by kings of the sixth» dynasty, and the rooms
and passages of which are covered with
thousands .of inscriptions. The discovery is
said to be of great scientific importance.
A_public chemical laborotary has been
opened in Paris for the analysis of any sub-
stance used for food. The fees are moderate,
varying from five to twenty francs.
Prof. Mask announces that among the re-
remains of Post Tertiary animals (such as the
mammoth, rhinoceros, horse, lion and hyena)
found in.the,Schipka Cave, near Stramberg,
in Moravia, .the jaw-bone of a supposed
diluvial human being has been discovered.
It was imbedded in the immediate vicinity
of a spot where carbonized animal bones,
stone implements and bone utensils were
found. The jaw-bone is of colossal dimen-
sions.
. Amedical gymnasium was lately opened
in Paris, having been built at a cost of $100,-
000. Physicians find it at times very desir-
able to give special exercise to certain
muscles of the body, and for this purpose
about seventy mechanical contrivances of
different descriptions have been arranged in
a series of rooms. The greater number of
there are worked by.a steam-engine, and all
of them can he graduated by screws, so that
the extent, duration and velocity of motion
can be regulated according to the direction
of the physicians. ' '
There are at present sixty-five geographical
societies in the world. The oldest is at Paris,
and was founded in 1821.
Dr. Siemens claims that whenever strength
and magnitude are both required the use of
steel is without a rival. He asserts that even
for an ordinary house steel gives more se-
curity than wood, is from six to eight times
as strong, and costs less. He thinks that ere
the lapse of many years steel will be intro-
duced into buildingsof all kinds, and that
it will gradually supplant iron, in the same
way that iron already tends to take the place
of wood.
Where the tide moves in all at once from
the ocean the phenomenon is called an eagre
or bore. According to Dana, the most per-
fect examples are found at the mouths of the
rivers Amazon, Hoogly (one of the mouths
’ of the Gauges), and Trientang, in China.
In the case of the last mentioned river, the
wave plunges on like an advancing cataract,
four or five miles in breadth and irty feet
high, and thus passes up the stream, to a
distance of eighty miles, at a rate of twenty—
five miles an hour. The change from ebb
to flood tide is almost instantaneous. Among
the Chusan Islands, just sOuth of the bay,
the tidal currents run through the funnel—
shapped frith with a velocity of sixteen miles
an hour. In the eagre of the Amazon, the
whole tide passes up stream in five orvsix
waves. following one another in rapid suc-
cession, and each from twelve to fifteen feet
high. ‘ ‘
Just before his death, the late Prof. Wat-
son, of Wisconsin University, was engaged
in the experiment of gazing at the stars down
cellar, on the principle that stars can‘be seen
at noonday from the bottom of a deep well.
He built his new observatory over a cellar
twenty feet deep, into which the light of the
heavenly bodieswas thrown down a large
tube from reflectors on a neighboring hill.
Some of the most valuable inventions have
been brought abOut by accident. One day a
chemist was seeking to discover a mixture 'of
earths that would make durable crucibles
when he was surprised to find that he had
made what is now called porcelain. A watch-
maker’s apprentice was holding spectacle-
glasses between his thumb and finger when
he was startled at the enlarged appearance
of a neighboring church- steeple. He called
the watchmaker, who began'an inquiry thst
ended in the invention of the telescope.
The art of etching upon glass was discovered
by a Nuremburg glass cutter. By accident
a few drops of aqua fortis fell upon his spec-
tacles. He noticed that the glass became
softened where the acid had touched it.
That was hint'enough. He 'drew figures
upon glass with varnish, applied the corrod—
ing fluid, then cut away the glass around the
drawing. When the varnish was removed
the figures appeared raised upOn a dark
ground. The shop of a Dublin tobacconist,,
by the name'of Lun’dy.‘was destroyed by
fire. While he was gazing dolefully into
the smoldering ruins he noticed that his
poorer neighbors were gathering the snuff
from the canisters. . He'tested the snuff for
himself and discovered that the fire had
largely improved its pungency and aroma.
It. was a hint worth profiting by. He secured
another shop, built a lot of ovans,» subjected
the snuff to a heating process,gave the brand
aparticular name, and in a few years he-
came rich-through an accident which he' at
first thought had completely ruined him.

One way to get a Husband.
The ways to matrimony are indeed won—
derful. A stdry illustrative of this—“a tale
of two cities”—comes from Milwaukee
and Chicago. The other day at Milwaukee
gentleman was visited by a Chicago merchant
who took him home to dinner. He was well
acquainted with the family, and in acon-
versation with the charming daughter of his
hosts, rallied her on her continuance in a
state of single blessedness. She replied
that none of the Milwaukee beaux were to
her taste, and in an indifferent way inquired
if Chicago had any nice young men dis;
engaged. Receiving an affirmative reply
she remained a minute or two in a brown
study and then brightening up said ins ban-
tering tone, “Well, you are acommission
merchant; send me down a nice young man
and I will allow you a commission of ten
cents a pound". Nothing more was said,
but the merchant did not forget his commis-
sion. He thought over the list of available
young men, andmade a mental note of the
result: '
Nor was that all. A few days later a hand-
some young man, one of Chicago’s “best.”—
aud they do have some of the right sort in
that city—rang the bell at the door of the
Milwaukee mansion and presented a note of
introduction to the belle of the household
from her recent visitor. She was surprised-
of course, but fully equal to the occasibn.
The 'visit was prolonged beyond the expecta.
tions of either, and was followed by mother
and others, and although all this has occurred
since the first of January, the wedding cards
are out, and the Chicago merchant has re.
ceived the first installments on his commie.
