Singular Phenomenon.—At the annual < M meeting of the American Convention for the "K advancement of science, Professor Loomis, of New York, came forward to make some re i marks upon electrical phenomena observed in certain houses. He said, within the past few years, several houses in the city of New York had exhibited electrical phenomena in a very remarkable degree. For months in succes sion, they have emitted sparks of considerable ||| in ensity, accompanied bv a loud snap. A jjl" stranger upon entering one of the electrical M houses, in attempting io shake hands with the inmates, receives a shock, wich is quite no ticable and somewhat unpleasant. Ladies in attempting to kiss each other, are saluted by a spark. (Loud laughter.) A spark i 8 per ceived whenever the hand is brought near to the knob of a door; the gilded frame of a mir ror, the gas pipes or any metallic bedy, es pecially when this body communicates freely with the earth. In one house which I have had the oppor tunity to examine, a child, in taking hold of the knob of a door, received so severe a shock that it ran off in great fright. The lady of the house iu approaching the speaking tube to give orders to the servants, received a very un pleasant shock in the mouth, and was very much annoyed by the electricity until she learned first to touch the tube with her fin ger. In passing from one parlor to the other, 4 if she chances to step upon the brass plate which served as a slide for the folding doors, she received an unpleasant shock in the foot. W hen she touches her finger to the chandelier [the room was lighted with gas by a chande lier suspended from the ceiling,] there appear ed a brilliant spark and a snap. In many houses the phenomena have been so remarka ble as to occasion general surprise and almost alarm. After a careful examination of several cases of this kind I have come to the conclusion that the electricity is created by the friction of the * shoes of the inmates upon the carpets of the house, i have found, by direct experiment, that electricity is excited by the friction of leather upon woollen cloth. For this purpose, 1 stood upon an insulated stool, and sp r eading a small piece of carpeting upon a table before me, rubbed a piece of leather vigorously upon it,and then bringing the leather near the cap of a gold electromer, the leaves were repelled with great violence. The electricity of the leather was of the resinous kind. Electrici ty, therefore, must necessarily be excited whenever a person walks with a shuffling mo tion across a carpet; but it may be thought re markable that the electricity should be intense enough to give a bright spark. In order to produce this effect, there must be a combina tion of several favorable circumstances. The | carpet, or at least its upper surface, must be entirely of wool and of a close texture, in order to furnish an abundance of electricity. So far as i have had opportunity to judge, 1 infer that heavy velvet carpets answer this purpose best. Two thicknesses of ingrain carpeting answer very well. A drugget spread upon an ingrain carpet yields a good supply of the fluid. The effect of the increased thick ness is obviously to improve the insulation of the carpet. The carpet roust be quite dry, and also the floor of the room, so that the fluid may not be conveyed away as soon as excited. This will not generally be the case except in winter, and in rooms which are habitually kept quite warm. The most remarkable cases which I have heard of in New York, have been of close, well built houses, kept very warm by furnaces; and the electricity was most abundant in very cold weather. A N*w Platform —An aspirant for office in this county, being asked yesterday what his political principles were, announced a platform thus: I am, sir, in favor of the late war—opposed to the cholera —in favor of high salaries—opposed to uncurrent funds and poor brandy. —Detroit Free Press. Horrible Suffering. —We are indebted to Capt. William H. Hopper, of the Central Road, for the fallowing particulars: Capt. Hopkins, of the steamer J. D. Morton, while on her passage from Chicago to New Buffalo, on Friday last, discovered what he supposed to be a raft with some one upon it, some five miles in the Lake. He immediately turned his boat and went for the object. He found the raft made of spars, with Captain David son, of the schooner Thornton, upon it. It appears he was wrecked on the 31st ulh, hav ing been seven days and nights without food. Two of the crew, whose names we did not learn, with the Capt. made the raft of the main mast, main boom and main gaft. The two men dropped off on the third night, after hav ing become exhausted lor want of food. Capt. Hopkins describes the scene as most pitiful. Captain Davidson had commenced eating his hands the last nights ! Several steamers and vessels have been in sight, and one vessel hail ed him, but made no attempt to get him off. Os course the Captain is exceedingly weak, but in a lair way for recovery. —Detroit Tri bune. JUSTJ RECEIVED.
