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- THE DAILY TIMES. 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: 1875. 1874. 1873.
