Practical Demonstration Is Given
Showing How Powerful Electric Volt
age Will Detach Particles of Carbon
and Other Material Substances From
! Gases Passing Up a Chimney.
A means of making Pittsburgh a
spotless town, of doing away with
London's fogs and of enabling safe
navigation in thick weather was, out
lined in three papers read before the
members of the American Institute of
Electrical Engineers at the closing ses
sion of the convention in New York.
Electrical precipitation, a method first
practically applied by Sir Oliver Lodge
of England, was stated as the solution
of these problems.
A practical demonstration showing
how a powerful electric voltage will
detach the particles of carbon and oth
er material substances from the gases
passing up a chimney, thereby doing
away with the objectionable smoke,
was given in the auditorium. A quan
tity of lampblack was blown up
through a fifteen foot smokestack plac
ed on the platform. The flying parti
cles filled the air. Then 50,000 volts
iwere turned on, and at once the lamp
black attached itself to the interior of
the chimney and the air cleared.
By adjusting the voltage to the size
of the smokestack to be treated facto
ries will be made smokeless, it was
said, and thousands of dollars that, are
now lost through smoke damage will
be saved.
Moving Pictures of Fogs.
Moving pictures of fogs and clouds
and their elimination as produced by
electricity have been taken, it was
said, to show the practicability of the
plan to free London from the grip of
the dense fogs and to eliminate a men
ace of sea travel. At the press at than
Sir Oliver Lodge is said to be working
on a plan by which I/>ndon will be
strung with wires through which a
high voltage will be passed and the fog
cleared away. Engineers at the meet
Ing agreed that the plan was not im
possible and expressed great interest in
the Work.
An unusual idea was suggested for
removing the fogs from about ships at
sea. A small aeroplane electrically pro
pelled from a ship will fly about two
boat lengths in front of the liner during
the fog. From the flying machine will
be strung a high powered electric wirt
reaching back to the ship. The cur
rent passing through the wire is ex
pected to cause a precipitation of the
moisture In the air and clear a channel
some 2,000 feet in advance of the ship
and to some extent on either side
through which the ship may safely
pass. This will enable the lookouts to
detect another ship approaching in
time to maneuver the liner out of dan
ger.
The patent rights on the discovery
are owned by the Smithsonian institu
tion at Washington and the Mellon In
stitute of Industrial Research of Pitts
burgh. The income on the patents will
be devoted by the institutions to fur
thering research work on scientific sub
jects, it was said.
The papers dealing with the discov
ery were read by Dr. W. W. Strong of
Mechanicsburg, Pa., Arthur F. Nesbit,
professor of electrical engineering at
the University of Pittsburgh and elec
trical engineer of the Mellon institute
and Linn Bradley.
OUR FIRST ELECTION.
Methods In the Days When Washing
ton Was Chosen President.
At the first national election at which
General Washington was chosen presi
dent only eleven of the thirteen states
voted. North Carolina and Rhode Is
land not yet having entered the Union,
and in ouly three—Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Virginia—were popular elec
tions held. In the other eight states
the legislatures chose the electors. New
York did not choose electors because
of a feud between the anti-Federalist
house and the Federalist senate.
One exciting incident was caused by
the fear on the part of Alexander Ham
ilton that John Adams, who was on
the ticket for vice president with
Washington, was plotting to tie the
Tote, and thus by throwing the elec
Hon into the national house of repre
sentatives defeat the Father of Hk
Country for president. So real wai
this fear in Hamilton that he dis
patched messengers on horses to Vir
ginia, Connecticut and New Jersey t<
stampede the legislatures of the lattei
two states to Washington.
So long did it take to gather news
that Washington was actually inaugu
rated president before some of the
remote counties in Virginia had seni
in their returns. In this first electioi
there was only one ticket and then
was no campaigning. There were onlj
about 3,000,000 inhabitants in the coun
try a4 that time, and the whole cosi
of •feting up the machinery of this
pifeddental election is estimated at less
&&n $lOO,OOO.— Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The evangelist left the city Sunday
night for his home in Indiana. Thou- j
sands were at the station and there
was a tremendous ovation for Sun
day. Hats were thrown in the air and
handkerchiefs were waved. Billy
shouted farewell from the rear ob- ,
servation platform. "Goodby, old Phil- '
adelphia," he said, "you're a grand old
town and four square with God."
Contributions poured in for Billy. !
He left with a check for $51,136.85
given him by a local trust company J
with which contributions were de
posited. This amount covers the con

e Sir Isaac Newton.
* The discovery of gravitation was the
first of many great ideas that came to
"the greatest original thinker of all
time." Newton was also the pioneer
u in announcing the physical properties
b of light. His epitaph, translated from
e the Latin, on his monument in West
" minster Abbey describes in u few
words the greatest accomplishments of
* Newton. It reads:
B "Here lies Isaac Newton, who by
vigor of mind always supernatural
r " first demonstrated the motions and
0 figures of the planets, the paths of
r the comets and the tides of the ocean.
He discovered what before his time no
s one had even suspected, that rays of
'* light are differently refrangible and
e that this is the cause of colors."

An Eye For an Eye.
e The law of Afghanistan is in theory
the same as that of Mohammedan
countries in general—that is, of the
Koran. This is an eye for an eye, a
| s tooth for a tooth, and enables the par
-8 ty wronged to avenge himself on a
relative if circumstances prevent him
from reaching the aggressor in person,
hence revenge becomes among the
Afghans a point of honor, which no
naa may waive except with disgrace.
