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.— Knowledge. 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.

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.

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 Record. H.C. BjUM.Xr.PrM. W. E.

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.
