INDUCEMNENTS OFFERED BY FRENCH EXPOSITION AUTHORITIES.
The Transmission of Energy the Great
Problem to be Solved—A New and Won- |
derful Scheme Proposed for Considera-
tion—The Alternative.
A general programme is already being outlined for the French Exposition of 1900, in which particular atte:.tion will, of be given to electrical develop-
} ment,
M. Armengood, jr., asks that prizes of
| value be offered for three things, viz.: (1)
Seeing at a distance; (2) Photography in colors on paper; (3) Eleceric light with- heat. It will be admitt these three things, accumplisied practi- cally, would add greatly to the eclat of the Exposition; and the actual success already attained along each line affords encourage- ment. M. Trouve, ever fertile and ready, has also suggested an electric light cascade
OL
| falling from the third platform of the
Eiffel Tower. It wouid certainly be a
| brilliant night spectacle.
We veutuie, however, to propose a scheme, of which we have seen no note thus far, but which would certainiy inter-
; ext not only all classes of enginee.s, but all
concerned in railways, and the public at large. It is a familiar faci that among the most pressing problems of the day are those that relate to the electrical trans- mission of energy, and that at this hour s0me most important work is being done. Upto this time, however, the energy transmitted has teen that of water- falls, and all the plants under con- struction, such as that for Niagara, deal with water power. Now, a great deal has been said about burn- ing the coal at the mine and trans- mitting its energy electrically instead of the tuel itself; and in England two well- known enyineers, Messrs. B. H. Thwaite and James Swinburne, have worked out carefully the details of an electric trans- mission to London of the energy of the coai fields of the Midlands and Yorxshire, What we propose is that the Paris Exposi- tion shall, in like manner, have all its power generated at coal mines now sup- plying Paris, and that this power shall be transmitted electrically.
The Chieago Fair made no demonstra- tion of this kind. In fact, none has ever yet been made. The nearest approach to it was the remarkable waterpower tvans- mission of 100 miles, under the patrcnage ofthe Emperor of Germany, from Lauffea to the Fraukfort Electrical Exhibition in 1891. Some idea of what is involved as to expense may be formed from the Thwaite-Swinburne plan of a 100 miles transmission of 10,000 h.p. of energy from coal, at a cost not to exceed, all told, £340,- 000; on which basis, according to C.E.L. Brown, small users of power in London could get 1 h. p. per anuum for $20. This plan contemplated the use of large gas en- gines at the generating points and a line potentiai of 30,000 volts. It is evident thay all the-apparatus, ineluding line, would have considerable valne after the close of the exposition. The Chicago plant for power reached about 20,000 h. p., and itis not likely that Paris would much ex- ceed, if it equaled, this; so that taking the figures already cited, the ivitial total would not exceed £680,000 or $3,400,000, and the investment in yas engines, generators, transformers and motors wou'd certainly be a largely re- coveral'e quantity, to say nothing of the value of the copper in the line, costing about $500,000. Indeed, if the demon- stration proved successful, the plant could be left intact for the daily supply of power to the various large and smali industries of the city, it being safe to assume that such a quantity could very easily be mar- keted. We liave no data at hand as to cost of power in Paris, but is is probable that the « rdinary selling price of 1h. p. is not below $40 or $50.
If such « plan as this be not carried out, the exposition will still have to be fur- nished with its power in some way, and if resort be made to the ordinary methods there would be required for the 20,000 b. p. a larze outfit of coal sidings, boilers, en- gines, shafting, machinery rooms, ete. By 1900 such methods will seem more dirty and antiquated even than now, but it might not perhaps be a bad idea as a com- promise, to divide the power plant into two contrasting 10,000 h. p. units, one long distance transmission and the other that of generation in situ. The longer, bolder plan is that which appeals more to the engineering imagination, and one in the execution of which the authorities of the exposition would probably enjoy very hearty advice, assistance and co- operation from French electrical engineer- ing concerns, as well as from others in America, England, Switzerland and else- where, If it be resolved to stick to water power, possibly the Exposition might be rua by energy from the little sister Repub- he of the Alps, although by 1900 we shall ali know a good deal abont the working of such & plan, from the results obtained with Niagara. — Philadelphia Record,

Ingenious Smuggling in Russia.
One of the most ingenious devices for smuggling was detected in Russia not long ago. A great number of false bank notes had been put into circulation within the dominions of the czar, ~They could only have been imported, and although the strictest search was made habitually over every vessel entering a Russian port, no trace of the smuggling of false notes was discevered. Accident, however, at last brought the mystery to light. It happen- ed that several cases of lead penci's arriv. ed one day from England, and while being examined one of them fell out from a package and the custom house officer, picking it up, cut it to a point and used it to sign the order which delivered up the pencils to the consignee. He kept the loose pencil for his own use and a few days aftervards, because it needed a new point, he cut it again and found that there was no more lead. He cut still further and was surprised to find a thin roll of paper pasted in the hollow place where the lead Was supposed to be, The paper was one of the false notes and in this way they had been smuggled into the country.

CLEVER WORK OF AN OCULIST-
How a Damage Suit Was Defeated Throuet a Little Knowledge of Optics.
Here is an interesting account of a very clever bit of detective work by an cculist. It appears that in a larze factory, in which were emp!o.ed several hundred persons,
| ope of the workmen, in wielding jiis ham- | mer, carelessly allowed it to slip from his hand. It flew half way across the room and etrack a fellow workingman in the lefteye. The man averred that his sight was blinded by the blow, althongh a care- ful examination failed to reveal au injury, there being not a scratch visible. He
ig ‘ brought a suit in the c
tion f
is for compensa wv the leas of half of his 6) esight, aud refused all offers of compromise.
Unier the law, says the Sheffield (Eng- land) Telegraph, the owner of the factory was yesponsible for an injury resulting fiom an accident of this kind, and al- though he believed that the man was sham- ming and that the whole case was an at- tempt at swindling, he had about made up his mind that he would be compelled to
pay the claim. The day of the triai arrived, and in open court an eminent ocecniist retained for
the defense examined the alleged injured member and guve it as his opinion that :t was as good as the right eye. Upon the p'aintiff’s loud protest of his inability to see with his left eve, the oculist proved him a perjurer and satisfied the court and jary of the falsity of his claim.
Aud how do you seppose he did it? Why, simply by knowing that the colors green aud red combined make black. He procured a black card on which a few words were wiitten with green ink. Then the ) laintiff was ordered to put ona pair ol spectacies with two different glasses, the on rthe right eye being red at he } tieye consisting of x j ¥ 1 was ha him a I t ‘

A few 1 ds would consent to a trial, and received a basin of hot gruel and a spoon, While they were pouring out the hot mess into the skuil, the doctor would throw his voice so ae to make it appear to proceed from the jaws of the bony customer, and guryle out “Br-r-r-gr-h-uh! that’s hot!” gg
This was too much, and, without excep- tion, the lads dropped the basiu and bolt- ed. The doctor began to despair of ever getting a suitable helpmate, until a smali boy came and was given the gruel and spoon,
After the first spoonful the skeleton ap- peared to say, ‘“‘Gr-r-r-uh-r-br! that’s hot!”
Shoveling in the scalding gruel as fast as ever, the lad rapped the skull and im- patiently retorted, *‘Well, blow it, carn,t yer, yer ould bony?”

uled to the stamping
machine. Here the ore is crushed and pounded as fine as flour. It is then run through a sluice-box that contains
quicksilver. As the water carries the ore over the ‘‘quick” it is taken up and held by the mercury and forms an amalgam The quicksilver is then placed in a retort and brought to the boiling point. The ‘‘quick” passes out of the retort through a tube and is col- lected in a basin of water, and hardly a bit has been lost, while the gold remains in the retort in the shape of gold dust and is now ready for market. Only about 50 per centum of the gold is saved by this means, and those who can or have ore rich enough to justify it send it to the smelters, where 95 per centuin 8 saved.
