ELECTRIC DYNAMOS'
MACHINERY THAT CAUSES THE AL
TERNATING CURRENT.
Compar!<en II.tnr.en the First Frictional
I veiled and the Present Powerful Elec-
I, ', A - tro-Maanete— Difference In tlie Two
T Current.—The Machine.
The first dynamo e'.aetrie machine
sver constructed was made by Faraday,
l’liia great physicist, tho prince of ex
perimenters, as he has been called, dis-
• covered that when a disc or fiat plate of
copper was made to rotate between the
poles of a powerfnl magnet currents were
produced in the plate front the center out
ward. By making a wire touch the re
volving plate with one of its ends anil
bringing the other one in contact with
the rim he found that a current of elec
tricity passed along the wire, and could
be made to indicate its existence by de
flecting the needle uf a galvanometer,
decomposing a chemical solution, or by
any of the well known effects produced
by electricity in motion.
Faraday saw the importance of this
discovery and the great uses in tho way
of practical application to which it
might be put, bat ho did not himself
stay to develop it; he left that to others,
and with it the wealtli which might
thns be acquired, and himself went on
to investigate other obscure and little
known phenomena connected with phys
ics and electricity, regarding this as his
proper work, and exhibiting in bis con
duct the true scientific spirit. When
ninny years afterward lie went to see
the first application of this discovery of
bis to the production of the illumina
tion of the Nortli Foreland lighthouse,
lie said, after looking at the large mag
neto-electric machines there, “l gave it
to you an infant! yon have made it a
giant.”
Dynamo and magneto electric ma
chines consistessentially of a coil of wire
—‘‘the armature,” as it is called—rotat
ing between the poles of a large mag
net, the poles being bent round iaj as to
approach each other and have the arma
ture between them. This magnet may
be either a permanent magnet of hard
steel, or an electro-majnet consisting of
wire coiled round a soft iron core, n cur
rent of electricity being made to circle
round the wire coil, and thns magnetiz
ing the iron core while it lusts. It is the
latter arrangement which is almost uni
versally used now, thongh the magneto
machines with permanent magnets were
the earliest form.
THE KI-ECntO-MAONET.
A magnet produces an influence in the
neighborhood around it, and this sur
rounding neighborhood is known as the
“field of furce” of the magnet—i. e., the
sphere in which its influence can be felt.
A magnetic needle or bit of iron filing
placed ill this field sets itself to point
along tho “lines of force” of the field—
that is, the lines along which tlie mag
netic force nets, and which form curves
round the magnet, running out, as it
were, from pole to pole, and curving
round to the other. Any one may see
tho fonn of these lines of force for him
self by placing a bar magnet underneath
a sheet of paper and then sprinkling
filings on tho paper.
On tapping this the filings will set
themselves along the lines of force in
beautiful regular curves. Here the small
fragments of iron uro themselves made
magnet whilo under the influence of tlie
powerfnl magnet In whose "field” they
are, and therefore place themselves
lengthwise along the lines of force—that
is, along the lino of action of tlie resnlt-
nnt magnetic force at the place where
euch one is.
When a coil of wire or arinntnre is
made to revolve rapidly in the strong
field of force which occupies the space
between the poles of a powerful electro
magnet currents aro produced in the
coil. These currents alter their direc
tion through the coil every time the lat
ter changes its position with reference
to the poles of tho magnet, Tho side of
the coil, which was opposite the north
pole, is nfter half a revolution opposite
the south pole, and the influence of the
south pole tends to produce nn opposite
current to that of the north pole. Here
we have an “alternate current" dynamo
machine.
PROCESSES OF OS1NO THE CUBUENT.
As the coil or armature rotates with
great speed—some hundreds of revolu
tions per minute—these currents, in al
ternating directions, succeed each other
very rapidly, and if an electric are lamp
is placed on the circuit it will be lit up.
In this case it is not necessary that the
current be sent round the circuit in one
direction only, but ulthough the termi
nals of the lamp are constantlychungiug
their polarity—that is, the north pole
where the current enters the next in
stant becomes the south pole where the
current leaves—yet, os this occurs many
times in one second, the effect produced
is the same as if the current was in one
uniform direction.
The lump lias no time to cool; it does
not go out before the oppositely directed
current passes through it and produces
the same effect as the previous one. No
flickering is observable. Tho impression
produced by tlie glowing carbon on the
human eye is returned by the retina for
a far longer |>eriod than the duration of
one sorgo of electricity through the
lamp, and is hot gone before the effect
prodneed bv the succeeding * opposite
wave mattes its impression on onr nerves.
In a “continuous current” dynamo,
which is necessary for some purposes,
such as electro-plating, where tlie effect
desired could not be produced if tlie di
rection of tlie current was continually
altering, the electric current is made to
pasa always one way round the external
circuit. This result is got by nsing the
ingenious device of a commutator,
which automatically deflects the current
bo as always to send it in an unvarying
direction through the plating bath or
the eleclric lamp, as the case may be.—

Prime Napoleon’s Fompslan Mansion.
When the part Prince Napoleon might
have taken in French politics ceases to
be contrasted with the part lie actually
did take he will be remembered forquite
a different achievement. In a strange
part of Paris lie built a very curious
mansion, and collected a brilliant circle
3f friends to witness a singular enter
tainment. Tlie circumstance, once no
torious, is now almost forgotten. Thirty-
five years ago the prince went Pompeii
mad. It was the fashionablo craze of
the day.
Artists, authors, dilettanti—they all
took it; but tho prince alone had funds
and purposed to realize his wild project,
if lie could build a lioase just like one
of those old Pompeian mansions, if lie
could furnish it classically, put in the
right bronzes and statuettes, himself
dress like an old Roman and get his
friends to do tlie same—well, he actually
reduced tho dream to a fact.
In the avenue Montaigne, at that time
perilously near tile lin! MabiUe, the pal :
uce was reared on tlie true Pompeian
lines. (Jerome painted the decorations
—Homer chanting his ballads, and
nymphs that represented the Odyssey
and Iliad. Everything was classic and
was Greek, but tlie Bonaparte blisid
flowed in tlie veins of the owner.
Prince Napoleon set up busts and stat
ues of liis family all round tho atrium—
Napoleon and Josephine and Marie
Louise, Lucien, Charles, Louis and Je
rome; they all had their place in this
classic apartment. And here, lioforothe
emperor and empress, a French play was
acted in classic costume—Favart, Bro-
lian and Sheophile Gautier lieing tlie
company, and Got and Emile Augier
among the audience.—Boston Herald.

*‘Look at that fellow,” said the man in
the window.
“Who?” I inquired.
“Thatyonng fellow standing outside
the rail.”
“Well, what of it?”
“Don’t you notice that five dollar bill
he is holding in his hand?”
“Yes. Well?”
“He’s been flourishing it around for
five minutes. Bought two fifty cent
seats in the gallery just now. Gave ine
a ten dollar bill. I gave him four silver
dollars and that five. Been all this time
putting the four into his pocket.”
“Well, he had to unbutton his over
coat. That takes time.”
“Yes, hut it doesn’t take five minutes.
Besides, he could have put the five dol
lars into his vest pocket in no time. But
he didn’t. He holds it out in plain view.
“Suppose he does. Hasn’t he a right
to?”
“Of course. But don’t you get on to
the racket?”
“No. What is it?”
“Girl.”
“Girl?”
“Yes. That’s the girl standing over
there in the comer. She’s watching him.
He’s just drawn his week’s pay, ten dol
lars, and is taking her to see tlie show.
When they came in he flashed the ten
dollars, and dazzled her with it a while
before lie got into line. Now he’s let
ting her get a good look at the five dol
lars liefore he sinks it. It’s a great
scheme. No other fellow can steal that
girl now. He’s got her solid. And the
long green did it.’’—Chicago Post.

Cobbler Sprueue's Frugul Wife.
Ton thousand dollars in gold and
greenbacks has been fonnd secreted in
un old table in the residence of John
Sprague, a shoemaker, of Wilmington,
Del. The money represents ins deceased
wife's savings for thirty-nine years. On
Jan. 27 Mrs. Mary Sprague, wife of the
cobbler, dropped dead, a victim of heart
disease, in a drug store. Tho couple
came to Wilmington from England thir
ty-one years sgo. The husband is about
sixty years of age, while the wife was
nearly iifty-nine years old when she died.
They were frugal and industrious, and
duriug their thirty-nine years of married
life the linsband weekly gave the wife a
certain sum of money for her use. He
never questioned what she did with the
snrplns, but supposed it was regularly
pnt in bank.
When Mrs. Sprague died search was
made for the bankbook sup'posed to
exist, but to no avail. The house was
ransacked also, bnt no money wus found.
Finally Mrs. McGinley, a neighbor, sug
gested, as she had hud a dream to that
effect, that possibly the treasure might
be secreted in an antique table, and this
article of furniture was examined.
Tightly wedged in an inside corner of
the table were fonnd a bag of gold and a
roll of greenbacks, which, being counted,
amounted to $10,000.—Cor. Philadelphia

The Tableau*
The palmiest day of the tableau enter
tainment ha* rather gone by. Sacred
and profane history, ancient and modern
customs hare been faithfully worked for
varietim in tableau representation and
their freshness lias pretty well departed.
An entertainment of pretty and pictu
resque scenes, unvaried by action or
movement, is a somewhat mild form of
amusement. For obvious reasons this
kind of entertainment has had a long
run of favor. Tableaux, represented by-
good folks that they ail know, are some
thing that the strictest church people
can look upon without a feeling of sin,
and a great deal of money for good
causes has been realized in this way.
They flourish best in home soil and 1 re
