By far the most successful of the ex
periments in electric lighting madp iu
this country took place last evening on
the Tltames Embankment, at the in
stance of the metropolitan. Board of
Works. As dnsk descended on the riv
er, Sir James McGarel-Hogg, the chair
man ; Sir Joseph Bazalgette, the engin
eer; and Mr. T. W. Keates, the con
sulting chemist, accomjpained by .other
members of the BoartT, m?fae tlieir 'wtIy
to the wooden hut erected close to
Chairing-cross Bridge, where they
found M- Gun dot, the representative ot
the Societe-Geuerale d’Electricite, aud
the engineers of the company, ready to
test the power of the machinery laid
down tc operate at the long range re
qnired. Shortly afterwards the ques
tion was set at rest by the illumination
of the ten globes which alternate with
those lighted by gas between Chairing-
cross and Westminister bridges. While
yet some truces of the waning day re
mained the superiority of the electric
light over gas was not very distinctly
marked, but no sooner had night de
scended ou the river than the contrast
between the two methods of illumina
tion became startling. The minora
siiicra of gas struggled ineffectually for
recognition side by side with the great
moons which threw their radfiiuce, if
not quite across the river, at least as far
as the second arch from the Surrey side
of West-miutSler-bridge, aud lit the
Embankment itself almost a giomo.
That this is uo more figure of speech
was proved by numerous experiments
made by passers by. As the electric
lamps are about a hundred aud twenty
feet apart, it would without- great a..d,
indeed, wasteful cost be impossible to
light every part ef the Embankment
equally, but so strong was the light
generally diffused tli -t- large type could
easily bo road at fifty, aid srnaMer
kinds at thirty, f.:et from the centre of
the lamp-pod to which the chctiic
light has been fitted. The effi-et of the
ton electric light when seen from a dis
tance was not less remarkable than that
presented m close observation. From
the centre of Westminsterjitidfim they
appeared to pi
river nn.ittained
cat gloom. Far over the river wasflm _
a light amply .sufficient for all the pur
poses of navigation, while near the
north shore the illumination was so
itn iig ns to i llicit loud expressions of
ns'onishraout and admiration from the
ntiinnmns spectators. To those ad van-
vai cing from the Surrey side the scene
presented was one of singular beauty.
Beyond the range of the. few gas lamps
just below the bridge, stretched a great
black shapeless mass in which neither
form nor colour was discernible; Next
appeared a multitude of small glowing
points resembling the. dying-out stars
of a pyrotechnic boqnet, while in front
of all these varieties of gloom shone the
light. There eoiild he no possible doubt
as to the splendor and efficiency of the
of the light supplied, nor could those
who had watched the experiments in
the Avenue de 1‘Opera, the Place do
rOperu, and at the Arc de Trimoplie
at Paris, refraiu from expressing, their
pleasure at the vast superioity of the
iightiug of the Tliames Embankment.
Had both sides of the roadway been il
luminated, this superiority would
li ve been made still more apparent;
but enough could be seen from the ten
lights iu use to stamp them as the
most effective yet seen iu actual prac
tice.
One of the reasons of thfe better be
havior of the Jablocbkoff candle on the
Thames Embankment than elsewhere
will probably be found in the superior
motive power applied, to the generating
engine, aud the amount ef care and
skill displayed iu firmly fixing and bolt
ing down al the mechanism employed.
Thinking it possible that the failure of
many attempts at electric lighting
were due to the haste with which the
apparatus had been set- m>. Mr. Head,
of Messrs Eansomes, Sims, and Head,
of Ipswitob, took great pains that the
twenty-horse power engine lent by his
firm for these experiments should be
in thorough working order before any
attempts at lighting were made, and al
so that the duplex Gramme machine
for generating the alternate currents re
quired by the Juklochkoff candle,
should be so firmly placed as to cause
no accidental vibration. The result
& complete success. In the candles
burned fast night there was no more
.sign of flickering - than might be to-
counted for by inequalities in the text
ure of th* carbon pensile, and this very
•light in the cnee of ioma f«w lamp*,
was entirely absent in the others, which
burned with marvellous steadiness.
The brilliant expriments would there
fore tend to pr-'Ve that the maiu short
comings of the Jabloclikuff system, as
tried iu Paris, and.on the first occasion
at Billingsgate, have arisen either from
<waut «r power, irregularly iu its appli
cation, or some defe-ct in, fixing the
macLinery firmly ou its bed. This
much at least is certain, that granted
high power and perfectly-arranged me
chanism, iite Jabloclikoff caudle, what-
tbrobbings, or sadden fits of dimness
noticeable on idl or nearly all previous
times of its exhibition in public.
So many doubts have been expressed
as to the possibility of working so large
a circuit as that successfully compassed
yesterday, that M, Gandet declares that
not seven hundred and thirty yards,
the distance trom the engine-house of
the farthest lamp lit last night, but a
mile is the limit at which a circuit can
be successfully made—-an important el
ement in the.cost of elecriie lightning,
should it be adopted for the public use.
As the matter stands, there is no doubt
tnat the machine which makes circuit
at seven hundred aud thirty yards will
ackeive the lesser feai of illuminating
the lamps between Chairing-cross and
Waterloo-bridges. It is hoped that
the machinery has been tried and found
peif :ct the remaining work of prepera-
tion will be complete by Monday
evening. If so the score of Jabloch-
kofi lamps extending from Westminis
ter to Waterloo-bridge will be lighted,
and the whole curve of the liver brill
iantly illuminated. What has ahead}’
seen excites anticipations of the appear-
mce of the Thames if if should ever be
lighted up on both sides and on the
bridges by means of electricity. Of
the beauty of such illumination there
can be no -doubt, but the cost of sueh a
magnificent improvement is yet un
known, and it is to ascertain this that
a series of experiments will be carried
ou for perhaps three months to come
by the Socioto Generals d’Bleclricite,
who have placed their plant at the dis-
po*iti*u ef the Metropalit an Board of
Work*.—London Netos.

his throne after the civil war, he owed
his success to three persons—his broth

cause his brother to lie strangled; to
send his nephew to Lahore, where he
died in captivity, and to confine his

A suit involving many millions of dol
tars has been brought against the
railroads of Tennessee. It is proposed,
so it is reported, to bring a suit against
the state for 85.000,000. It is pro
posed to arrange it so that some -Stele
will bring suit against Tennessee. It
will be tested whether one State cau sue
auother Sta'e. A donation of §100,000
in these funded coupon bonds will be
made to a certain Sootliern State for
the benefit of herclraritabl© institutions
It is understood that- proceedings will
tlieu be instituted by which that State
will bring suit- against the State of Ten
nessee for the amount of (lie funded
coupons held tor such institutions.
Correspondence Is now going ou be
tween this dues of State creditors for
the purpose of perfecting the arrange
ments necessary to briug the suit.
The question will attract very great
interest, and will, no doubt be earned
to the United States Supreme Court.
GUANO.
The planting interest in this country,
and the true interest of every legitimate
bnsiness are insepere-ble. No one who
desires a general prosperity can feel in
different to the welfare of the planters.
It is proper then that others, as well
as planters themselves, shall consider
the question, just now of especial in
terest, whether or not , under existing
circumstances the planters ought to
buygn-ano. '
Of'course they o right to know for
themselves what is best, and doubtless
they do, but sometimes they follow the
crowd right or wrong; and it is impor
tant to make a timely effort to start the
crowd in the right direction. A para
graph of statistics mav ar.swer for that
pi rpt se. It is well known that large
reecipts of cotton at the ports invaria
bly depress the markers. And the in-
ereuce is unavoidable that all other in-
influences, seperate or combined, are
less i otential tban this one. It is true
too that the moneyed speculators follow
indications promptly and push the mar
ket to the utmost of their ability iu
whatever it takes. Large crops gener
ally take the downward course, aud a
liberal use of commercial fertilizers
makes large crops. Even this would
uot conclude the question against gua
no if it could he shown that it made
cheap crops. But an article expensive
inriiseif, aud powerful in its advercs
influence upon the market value of;
what it produces must d* wonderfully
eificaiioDfl ns n producer to fairly offset
both ra own cost and its tremendous
effect upon prices especially as its effl-
euey must increase the effect. Bnt the
statistics. • The total crop of 1873 4
was 4.170,3S8 b lies. The net proreeds
per bale for that emp were §60.43.
Col ton sold in any market will yield a-
bunt the same net proceeds, the differ
er.ee of price being countei balanced by
tlie tost of transportation &c.
By he u»e of feitilizets the crop of
1875 6 was swelled to* 4.032,313 b.les
and the uet proceeds of that crop, liar
bale wrre 849.89. There was no ma
terial difference iu average weights.
The difference in proceeds was very
iiearly-25. percent aud tlie smaller crop
returned to the planters not far from
820,000,000 more than the larger.
What tLe guano cost is a momentous
question. Let some one make au esti
mate, and add it to the difference iu
proceeds of the two crops, aud then an
swer the question, ought planters to buy
guano?
