THIS DAKQER IN BOUSE LIGHTING
xyrBxm.it roB th disfatch.:
Tfae extent to which electricity ii enter
ing into modern home life may be inferred
from the fact that a book has just been pub
liihed on "Decorative Electricity" by a
woman who has made a special and prac
tical study of the subject. The author is
Mrs. J. E. H. Gordon, wife of a prominent
English electrical engineer, and she speaks
out of the fulness of some 10 years' experi
ence with electric lignting. Few people
haye an idea of the extent and refinement
to which the details of the sew
art of illumination has been car
ried, but when Mrs. Gordon can
show a neat little arrangement for the.cook
ing range, by means of which a light can be
put inside any kettle or saucepan to see
how its contents are getting alone, it is evi
dent that the day isat hand when we can all
enjoy these new conveniences of the bed
room, parlor and kitchen. Incidentally,
too, Mrs. Gordon speaks of electrio hair
curlers, and it is the fact that electrio beat
ing apparatus is already findinc its way into
houses, as, for instance, in the (shape of lit
tle stoves for making a cup of coffee, foot
warmers for the bed, cigar lighters, etc.
It has been shrewdly remarked that there
are two fcood reasons for the popularity of
electricity among the ladies of the house
hold. In the first place it is eminently
cleanly, giving off no dust or fume or taint
of any kiud. In the second place no tapers
are required, and no matches litter the place
halt bnrnt, and no walls are disfigured by
their scratches. Besides, lighting the gas is
quite a feat for a woman, whereas the switch
lor an electric lamp can be placed wherever
desirable. But the greatest boon of elec
tricity are still new and rare, and the "ser
vant girl" question will near solution when
the little motor, connected up in the same
circuit that docs the lighting, sweeps the
carpets, rocks the cradle, brushes the shoes,
grinds the coffees nd runs the elevator from
the bottom to the top of the house.
Dangers In Electrio Lighting;.
The dangers of electrio lighting have been
greatly exaggerated, and it has been dem
monstrated beyond question that where ac
cidents have occurred, in nearly every case
they have resulted through ignorance, both
on the part of the workmen who have insu
lated the wires and those to whom the ap
paratus was entrusted. Nevertheless, there
are dangers, and theshortest way of remedy
ing these is to clearly define tbein. The
most important of the existiog delects is
that relating to fusible connections, as the
innumerable variety of alloys used for fuse
metal is very misleading. Some of these
compositions poss'ess the properties ot good
electrical conductivity and are slow to heat,
wiiue otuers exuioit weakness when heated,
and thus prove ineffective. Another uni
versal danger arises from the want of some
uniform or some more ready method of per
fecting splices or joints in conductors. Some
workmen are in the habit of makiag loose
copper unions, leaving the solidity of the
joint dependent on solder, which, being a
metallic cement, is liable to be fused by a
possible heavy short circuit occurring on the
line, and thus a loose connection would be
caused. The danger most to be feared is
perhaps the possibility of lightning being
conducted into bouses lighted by electricity,
where the current is supplied by aerial
wires. The existence of this danger has
been demonstrated where the house wires
are attached to the gas fixtures, offering a
ready path for the lightning, which, in
leaping from the charged wires to the gas
pipes, forms an arc, which pierces the pipe.
Where gas is present a steady blaze is, of
course, produced, and if the accident occurs
near the ceiling the building may be endan
gered. The Electrio Ught Shipwrecks.
The recent fearful shipwreck in the
Etraits of Gibraltar, where more than 600
people met their death, has attraoted publio
attention to the use of the electrio lights as a
means of siving life in case of shipwreck.
It appears that had it not been for the elec
tric projectors with which the men-of-war
which happened to be in the neighborhood
were provided, the fatality would have been
at least double what it was. Most men-of-war
and also passenger steamers are nowa
days fitted up with electrio light, but they
seem, fortunately, comparatively safe from
accident. It is emigrant vessels which run
the greatest risk, and they ought, above all
others, to be provided with safety
apparatus of every description, and
electrio light projectors beiore any
thing else. These modern addi
tions to safety apparatus should be no more
absent Irom such vessels than lifeboats and
safety belts. Another of the palpable facts
which have been the outcome of a considera
tion of this subject is that the lifeboat eta
tions on the coasts should be provided with
electric light appliances of a portable char
acter. It is satisfactory to know that in
England steps are being taken in this
direction, and a resolution is about to be
placed before the House of Commons in
favor of the establishment of telephoolo and
telegraphlo communication on the coasts be
qpreen all coast guard and signal stations, In
ofder to give facilities for the more speedy
employment of lifeboats and rocket appa
ratus. Where there are no coast guard sta
tions it Is proposed that the communication
thall be with the postal telegraph offices
nearest the lifeboat stations.
The Frankfort Electrical Exhibition.
Great Interest is being taken in Europe in
the Frankfort electrical exhibition and, as
usual, America will be represented. A few
days ago a well-known American Inventor
cabled over for space. The reply came that
none could be had. Then he offered to buy
out somebody else. Back came word that
nobody wanted to sell. This would have
settled some people, but another message
flashed across to Germany asking if the au
thorities would consent to the ereotion of a
separate building for the proposed exhibit.
This bold plan of meeting the difficulty
teemed to take away the breath of the slow-
going Teuton, and there was a pause. But
permission came in a day or two, and now
the exhibit is being prepared on broad lines.
During the exhibition un electrical congress
will be held and America has already been
invited to send delegates. The succeeding
congress is to be held in this country at the
lime oi tne world's jrair.
Benefits of Electrio Railways.
'The good results aocrulng from the Intro
duction of the electrio railway are to Indis
putable that one seed not marvel at the
rapidity with which it is making Its way
into every part of the civilized world. Some
of our American cities have been enormously
benefited by the change from horses to this
new mode of swift and safe locomotion. St.
Paul, Minn., it a ttriking example, and the
JHonter-Preu, of that city, tayt that the
revolution of Its system of street railway
travel has been worth more than ten boons
in real estate. "To ride on these ears Is a
pleasure," It says. "They are swilt and
sure in motion. There is no dragging op
heavr grades at a snail's pace. The saving
of time and the relief from mental annoy
ance are great" It adds that business and
social intercourse have been greatly facili
tated and that every section of the city has
been brought into close and easy communi
cation. StMrfag by lUeetrreMyw
Tk skwllent eleetrieal derlM for firing
Ww?FTri,
an alarm when a ship deviates from her
course, which was the subject of a recent in
vention, it being adopted on a large number
of American ships. The compass card car
ries a light wire electrically connected with
a metallio cup at the center containing a few
drops of mercury. This wire it bent over
the edge of the compats, and as long at the
ship maintains its course the wire remains
out of contaot with either of two metallio
stops placed at a certain distance on either
side of the bent end of the wire. Should,
however, the vessel depart from its course,
the wire fixed to the card it brought into
contact with one or other of the stops, clos
ing the circuit, and ringing a bell in the
captain's cabin, or the navigator's room.
Uses of Electrio Welding.
The new art of electrio welding U making
rapid progress, and every week teet tome
novel application of it. Three large welders
have now been ordered for the big rail
works at Johnstown, Pa. One of them is
to weld the chairs to the street car railt in
one solid piece. Another is to weld braces
to the chairs. A third will make crossing
Irogs in one solid piece where the fonr rails
meet, thus doing away with a number of
bolted fish-plates, which are ground down
by the traffic and work loose. The electrio
welding process is already employed on
boiler tubes, steel cables, wheel tires, am
munition, wires, ships' hawsers and chains,
jewelry and a host of other things in which
similar metals or dissimilar have to be
united.
Electrio Burnishing Machinery.
An interesting application of electrieity
hat been made in the electric burnishing
machine for giving a gloss to the bottoms of
shoes. The shoes are painted with a dye,
after which a cake of .specially prepared
wax is placed against a rapidly revolving
brush, which absorbs just enough to yield a
coat' of dressing to the shoe bottom. The
sole, hitherto a dull black, is speedily pol
ished by a wheel worked by an eleotno
motor. This wheel consists of a rubber
cushion inflated with air, covered with cloth
and fixed on a grooved pulley. The reduc
tion in the cost oi the process is remarkable,
as from 600 to 800 pairs of heels or soles can
be burnished daily by the new machine.
Oat Engine for Electrio Plants.
A new got engine, of remarkably simple
construction, has been built especially
for the electrio lighting plants in large cities,
where ground it expensive. This engine it
of 120-horte power, and has been designed
to take the place of the ordinary steam en
gine. It Is said, however, besides other ad
vantages, to have double the efficiency of
the steam engine, to be ssfer and more eco
nomical, and to take up less space from the
fact of its requiring no boiler. It can be
operated with either illuminating gas, fuel
gas or natural gas. It is proposed to make
engines of this type np to 200-horse power,
Testing Stael and Iron.
The well-known principle thtt an electrio
current of sufficient strength will fnse a
thin slip of metal or wire when passed
through it has been ingeniously utilized as
a means of testing the hardness of iron and
steel. The strength of current required to
fuse test pieces ot iron and steel of. different
degrees of hardness has been determined
and a scale of currents corresponding to the
scale of hardness has been established. In
order to find the hardness of a particular
test piece of the metal it is only necessary to
find the current required to fnse it, and
this can be easily done by means of an am
peremeter. The corresponding figure on
the scale gives the hardness of the piece.
Glass Polluting by Electricity.
Still another use has been found for the
electrio motor, by which glass polishing
tables are now run. A large plate glass
