WHO WILL MAKE IT?
In all the advancement that has
been made, in the mechanical ap
plication of the unlimited power
contained in electricity, no one lies
yet been able to grasp the question
in its fullness and harness the
herculean force to do the bidding
of man. While it has been applied
to mechanical work, still the force
ungraspjd in comparison with that
which has been harnessed is so
immense, that present achiev
ments dwindle into nothing in
comparison. The Electrical Age
thinks that with all the parapher
nalia of the modern physical and
electrical laboratory, the instru
ments of precision that will handle
a millionth of an inch as readily as
.a laborer his pick or shovel; with
all the evolution going on through
generations of scientists, and the
almost incessant wrestling of secrets
'from the bosom of nature, we
doubt if science is any closer to
the isolation or attenuation of the
microbe of the magnet. It is
absurd to suppose that a primary
energy is impressed upon a piece
of hardened steel once for all. The
transfer of that energy into actual
work would quickly destroy the
magnetic power, yet such destruc
tion not only does not take place,
but the very exercise of the power
strengthens the magnet. A horse
shoe of steel can be magnetized in
ten seconds by the current of a few
amperes from a battery a ridicul
ously small amount of energy all
told and such magnet can lift
many pounds of iron in contact.
But without contact it may lift and
hold a pound of iron easily. It
will hold that pound fr an eternity
and every second of that time with
out end the magnet is expending
nergy until it foots up an almost
inconceivable total of actual power.
Not alone that, but the magnet of
one-pound lifting power to-day may
and will be stronger to-morrw.
Where does all this really tremend
ous amount of energy come from?
By what inscrutable process does
the mere magnetization of a bar of
steel make of it a machine for the
transformation of energy? Not a
reactionary or storage device which
like a steel spring, honestly gives
back approximately all it has re
ceived, but a perpetual transform
ing or converting machine. There
is a hidden process going on of
some kind energy is (joing into
the magnet all the time it is doing
work energy in some form.
Where does it come from, gratify?
atmosphere? solar rays? earth
currents? Who can say? It is a
great problem worthy of a life-time
of indefatigable research. II is a
microbe, and it will be discovered,
and the discovery will make elec
tricity the queen of nature's forces,
and steam will become a dim
vision of the dark ages of the pas.
The strength and extent ofj
delusions which fasten themselves J
upon the minds of the people, is
well illustrated by that class of
religious frauds represented by the
so called "Rev. Schweinfurth. of
Northern Illinois, who has been
accumlating real estate in that part
of the country, for the last ten
years, by inducing his deluded
followers to deed their lands to
him. Recently hewever through
fear of the law he has been deed
ing back a portion of the land.
Disreputable actions were fastened
upon him but still his deluded
followers clung to him and con
tinued to swell his possessions by
sift deeds of land.
The Globe Democrat has been
delving in Historical matter until
it has solved the origin of pigs-in-the-clover.
It says that it is a
curious thing that this puzzle of
the pigs-in-clover should have
been constructed first of all as a
mathematical instrument for calcu
lating the delicacy of the tactile
sense or, in other words, the time
required for turning thought into
action at the ends of the fingers.
MartenfeUU, a German investiga
tor, perceived that the ability lo
balance a marble on a sheet of
plate-glass depends upon thequick
ness of the nerve current in trans -mitting
muscular action from the
brain. The experimenter found it
desirable to complicate this simple
apparatus by concentric rings ot
pasteboard, with holes lor me
marble to run through, and was
thus enabled t deduce important
formuhe. A clever business man
saw the contrivance and adapted
the idea for a puzzle.
Mary B. Russell, a sister of
the Sir Charles Russell, who made
so eloquent a defense of rarnell,
was the pioneer Sister of Mercy on
the Pacific coast. She came to
California from Ireland in 1854.
She has at present under her
charge a hospital, a Magdalen
asylum and schools near San Fran
cisco.
The last public debt statement
Shows that the bonded indebted
ness of the United States $903,628,
602, but of this amount $64,623,512
must be deducted, as it represents
the indebtedness of the subsidized
Pacific railroads, for which the.
government became responsible,
leaving the net bonded bebt only
$839,003,000.
I r is said that some of the Port
land people are actually Wonder
ing whether the ill-fated steamer
Alaskan was injured in passing
out over the Columbia bar, or
whether in going down the coast
she ran too close to Yaquina har
bor, causing her to be wrecked !
The early resumption of work on
the Oregon Pacific eastward from
this citv seems now assured.
