EDISON NEW FORCE
THE DISCOVERY M ADE BY A NEWARK MAN,
AND WHAT HE SAYS IT WILL DO.
From the New York Sun.]
Mr. T. A. Edison, an electrician
and inventor, of Newark, has been
enperimentint? with what he consid
ers either anew force or the new de
velopmentof the previously known
force of electricity. On the evening
of Nov. 22, while Mr. Edison and hts
assistants, Charles Batchelor and
James Adams, were working in their
laboratory they noticed an unusually
strong development of the new force,
which they recorded in their journal,
as follows:
In experimenting with a vibrator
magnet, consisting of a bur of Stubbs
steel fastened at one end and made
to vibrate by means of a magnet, we
noticed asiturk coming from the core
of the magnet; this we have often
noticed before in relays, in stock
printers when there were iron tilings
between the armature and core, and
often in the new electric pen. Always
supposed It was inductive electricity,
but bapi>ened to notice it when it
seemed so strong that we suspected
it might be something more than in
duction. Aetiug on the supposition
we found that by touching any por
tion of the vibration or magnet with
apiece of metal we got the spark.
We then connected a wire to the end
of the vibrating rod and got a spark
by touching a piece of iron to it. One
of the most curious phenomena is
that if you turn the wire around on
itself and then let the point of the
wire touch any other itortion of itself
you get a spark. By connecting the
end of the vibrating rod to the gas
pil>o we drew a spark from the gas
pll*s in any |iart of the room by
drawing an iron wire over the brass
jet of the cock. This is simply won
derful, and a good proof that the
cause Of the spark Is u true unknown
force.
Several months ago Mr. Edison
had been attracted to weeks of study
and investigation of this same force,
and had then been compelled to de
cide that it was electricity by induc
tion. lie did not dare believe that
he was the discoverer of anew force.
But his more recent investigations
have led to the dlscoverythat sparks
could be drawn from an instrument
or wire that were apparently elec
tric, but persistently refused to
answer any of the most delicate tests
either for voltaic or even static elec
tricity. The action was attributed to
induction of a false or eccentric
character. This led to moro careful
examination and exiieriments that
after four days of exj>erimentation
have given most astonishing results.
A strong current of sparks was
drawn from the end of a wire that ap
jiarently belonged to no circuit what
ever. It was as thoroughly insulated
as possible bv those materials that are
non-conductlve of electricity, and if a
circuit was formed it was through
some unknowu channel. A mirror
galvanometer, that reveals the pres
ence of voltaic electricity, even when
carried through extreme lengths of
cable, was placed in the direct cur
rent of sparks of the new force with
out being influenced In the slightest
degree; and a strong charge was
thrown u(>on the gold-leaf detector
of static electricity without causing
the delicate leaves to diverge percept
ibly.
The earliest experiments were
made with an iron bar, but later
other metals have been used, and the
s;iark has been obtained in different
degrees of intensity with antimony,
lead, iron, carbon, copper, manga
nese, plantinum, mercury, tin, palla
dium, pottassium, sodium, tellurium,
zinc, boron, cadmium, bismuth,
nickel, gold,cobalt, arsenic, thallium,
indium, and silver.
A later entry in the journal de
scribes the instrument that has been
made by Mr. Edison for the study of
the new force:
We had a box made wherein two
points could be brought together
within a dark boi provided with an
eye-piece. The points were iron, and
we found the sf<arks were very irreg
ular. After testing some time, two
lead pencils were found to be more
regular and very much more vivid.
We then substituted the graphite
points instead of iron. We now found
that when we had the box in circuit
and a magnet operated by a key it
would work as well as a vibrator, and
with a piece of iron laid on the cover
and the wire attached and carried the
length of the table into the box, we
could get the spark every time we
opened the key. We tried different
metals on the cover and found that
the best results were reached with
iron and cadmium. Antimony, car
bon and copi>er gave good results,
and brass, gold, coal, nickel and
manganese were satisfactory.
As yet Mr. Edison does not under
stand the power of the new force or
how to harness it, but he claims that
it is as distinct and has as regular
laws as heat, magnetism or electrici
ty. Itseariiestapplication, he thinks,
will be to telegraphy, though its pow
er would have to be utilized through
the light of the spark, so far as pres
ent developments lead.
The spark is believed to have acti
nic properties in a marked degree,
and so would prove serviceable in use
with chemical paper. Paper impreg
nated with sulphur is peculiarly sus
ceptible to the influence of thespark,
and Mr. Edison has carried his ex
periments sufficiently far to demon
strate the value of ttye new force in
the direction of photo-registering.
It is possible that it will have posi-

tive registering mechanical power,
but that is not vet detected. It
seems to be non-polar, radiating like
heat, and is capable of transudssinii
to indefinite distances over uninsula
ted wire. This was shown on Sun
day, when messages were seut from
the laboratory to Mr. Edison’s house
over tne street gas pipes, the only
means of communication, the wires
being attached to the burners at each
end, there being no circuit. Messa
ges were also sent, by attaching
wires to the Western Union lines, to
New Brunswick, thence to New York
and back to Newark, over seventy
live miles, and an incomplete circuit,
the spark being as strong as that
shown by the battery current. By
this force messages can, according to
the experiments, be seut under the
Atlantic on a single uninsulated wire
or, to put it more strongly, messages
can be sent over the iron wire sheath
| ing of the present cables, and that
without the knowledge of the opera
tors of the cable. Should all that is
claimed for this discovery prove
true, messages could be sent to Eu
rope at a cost of less than a cent a
word, for a single wire would be all
that was necessary to transmit
them.
The force is retroactive, the sirk
being obtainable when the wire is
turned buck so as to touch itself, and
it follows a copper or iron wire with
out reference to any known circuit,
and jumping breaks without diminu
tion of intensity. Whether it, can la
evolved except in connection with
magnetism or electricity is unknown,
Mr. Edison thinks that it exists in
connection with heat, and that it can
also be generated by independent
and as yet undiscovered tueaiis.
Last night the wire between the
battery and the instrument was
broken, and the ends were connected
to the opposite sides of an CEpinus
condenser. There was no complete
eireutt, yet-the s[mrk passed through
the glass legs and the thick glass
plate of the condenser, anti continued
Its course through the wire to the In
strument,, where it was seen in undi
minished lustre, even after the elec
trical current had been shunted tdT
by means of an Independent circuit.
If the force followed the laws of
eleetricit, it would havecluug to the
circuit of conducting tuctais; but,
instead, it branched off .through the
glass and wood of the condenser as
though it found them to furnish a
clearer channel to the bit of broken
wire on the other side. The wireend
ed in the instrument that lias alreadj
been described, and which .was sep
arated from the cable by glass knobs,
and the circuit, if there was uny, was
clearly uninsulted material. And
in this the practical value of the dis
covery consists. In the place of em
ploying poles of glass insulators, it
seems to be necessary only to make
an attachment to the railroad track
or to a wire laid in the earth in order
to transmit a message as readilvas
by the present process. "Grounded”
and “crossed” wires will no longer be
bane to telegraph o|>erators, for the
new force, so far as knowh, shows
but little affinity to the earth.
The New Yolk World says of this
discovery: By no means satislied with
his present achievement, the inventor
is trying now to develop tint new force
from a single magnet without coil or
electricity, but how this is to be ac
complished remains a mystery. The
laboratory where all this experiment
ing and these remarkable electrical
performances are going on is at Nos.
10 and 12 Ward street, Newark ; and,
singularly enough, night time is se
lected for the experiments. Mr. Eli
son thinks his newly discovered force
will in one instant practically double
the number of ocean cables, as by
this force messages can be transmit
ted over the outer surfaces of ttie ca
bles already laid without interfering
with the dispatches sent through
them. But this is not all. There is
reason, he savs, to believe that us
many messages may be sent over each
cable, as each cable has strands. An
other great feature Is the fact that,
unlike electricity, long distances will
not affect the power of this agent;
and when telegraph wires, as so often
happens, are blowtt down, this force,
having no affinity for the earth, will
transmit the message as it nothing
had happened.
And the Herald adds: It has
been suggested that this discovery
throws new light upon the nature of
the auroral phenomena. Telegraph
operators are familiar with the differ
ence between the effect of the elec
tricity develo[>ed by a thunder storm
and that which effects the wires pre
vious to an auroral display. The
former passes through the wire, emit
ting both spark and sound; it Is in
stantaneous in action, seldom travel
ing far on the wire before discharg
ing itself. But the electricity pro
duced by the aurora passes along the
wire In a continuous stream, with no
sudden discharge, effecting the same
result as that produced by the gal
vanic battery. A colored mark upon
the paper is made by the positive
current of the aurora as by the posi
tive pole of the battery. When
these effects havo been observed the
aurora follows, and so familiar have
the operators become with the mani
festations that they can predict utt
auroral displuy with absolute cer
tainty. In short, the newly discover
ed manifestation, producing no effect
but light, is believed to be a minia
ture of that grand and mysterious
illumination which has excited the
admiration aud wonder of men for so
many centuries.
From the Cincinnati Price Current
we learn that the movement, of hogs
to market at the principal packing
points in the West has recently been
light compared with the correspond
ing time last year. The number of
hogs slaughtered at the six principal
cities up to a recent date is some
300,000 less than in the previous sea
son. though with weather favorable
to fattening it is not impossible t hat
last year's numbers may be ultimate
ly reached. The following table
shows the approximate number of
hogs tracked at the six leading pack
ing points in the West, from the com
mencement to the 25th November,
with comparisons with two preced
ing seasons:

Directors for their consideration,
and that a copy of the same be sent
to the princi|>al stockholders for
their consideration.
Gen. Gilmer tnen offered the fol
lowing resolutions.
Whereas, The adjustment of fair
rates of freight and their main
tenance are tho only immediate
meansof making railroads remunera

Resolved, Ttiat the Chairman of
this meeting be requested to appoint
a committee of three to communicate
with the stockholders on the line of
railroads and steamships and mem
bers of the General Association of
Southern Railroad and Steamship
Companies, urging them to exorcise
their influence to establish and main
tain such rules and regulations for
tho management of the railways on
which they may be entrusted as will
secure the preservation of such prop
erties and obtain reasonable divi
dends to stockholders. The resolu
