GRUWTII Of ELECTRICITY.
The wonderful growth of the
cienuo of electricity is a claim of
this century. An eastern paper
aaya that one advantage poHfessed
by electricity over steam power,
the importance of which ia seldom
duly considered, ia made conspicu
ous by the action of the Colum
bian Exposition management in
c instructing and electric plant at
Jackson Park sufficient to permit
the doing away with steam engines
within the grounds of the world's
fair. The purpose ia to reduce the
risk of fire. It requires no very
active imagination to see in this
aimple fact a fair promise of
changes which will save a multi
tude of Uvea and a vast amount of
property. Little or no doubt
exists that the steam locomotive
"must go," together with the car
atove and the railway lamp. We
shall aee railway trains heated,
lignted, and propelled by elec
tricity which will be kept under
such control that thee will be no
more horrors of tires added to the
other awful features of railroad
wrecks. Wounded passenger will
not perish miserably while im
prisoned in the debris of biokeu
cars, and freight trains which
come to' grief will not burn the
ties out and destroy the track
while valuable merchandise is be
ing reduced to ashes. Later more
mosaentous charges may be
brought about by the distribution
of electric power, electric heat,
and electric light to all par;s of
cities, including mills and facto: ie
from a very few great central
reservoirs of electric energy, tilled
either by steam power, or, per
haps, by the force of the wind and
the tides and waves of the sea. It
need hardly be said that the re
sult would be an immense
decrease in the number of fires.
It amounts to nothing that elec
tricity ia it present very limited
uses causes many tires. The ap
pliances now in vogue will be eo
mutjh improved upon that the fire
risk will e reduced toaminimiim,
and the danger to human life will
also be made much less than it is
now.
With the general substitution of
electricity for steam power, heat
ing apparatus in which fuel is
burned, and gas and oil lights will
come the solving of the smoke
problem and a marked consequent
improvement, no doubt, in the
sanitary conditions of life in great
centers cf population, to say noth
ing of comfort and icsthetic con
siderations. Manufacturing cities
in which bitumininous coal is
used would gain enormously in
attractiveness and beauty by the
concentration of their fuel con
sumption in a few immense power
houses, where the very best
smoke-consuming devices coald
be employed, and which might he
legated outside of the thickly
populated districts. The subject
is one of rare fascination for the
imaginative mind. At present we
can only catch glimpses of the
coming wonders of the age that to
b characterized by that myster
ious form of energy of which we at
present know so little and hoe
for so much. What has already
been! accomplished, however, is
only a hint of the triumphs sure
to be witnessed in the future, if
the history of the great advances
in the control and use of natural
forces may be taken as a guide.
'Tux improvement of harbors and
the care of our shipping commerce
are the most essential matters for
the general government to look
after. Very truthfully the Argo
naut says "California, Oregon ami
Washington are essentially ocean
coast states, with a coast line
equal to that of the states from
Maine to Georgia upon the Atlan
tic. Since the establishment of
the republic, the Atlantic States
have had appropriations from the
government aggregation more than
$200,000,000 for coast defenses,
navy yards, improvement of har
bors and rivets, light-houses, gov
ernment buildings, and incidental
purposes. Since the creation of
California as a state in 1850, with
Oregon and Washington as im
portant coast extensions noith-
wardly, the total government ap
propriations for every purpose
have not exceeded 125,000,000.
The rapid development of com
merce has advanced this coast to
a very imortant rank, with the
prosct of equaling that of the
Atlantic within the coming half
century. The rich traffic of Asia
and Australasia and the islands of
the Pacific will en rely flow mainly
to tn is coast, and this commerce is
growing beyond the calculation of
the most sanguine." With this
consideration of the subject should
also come in that of the isthmus !
ship canal, as an essential adjunct.
The absurdity of the rumor from
China in regard to the Charles
ton's designs upon the Sandwich
Islands is apparent to all who in
vestigate the subject in the least.
The Chronicle says that the
canards about American designs
on Hawaii appear to be believed
by the English in China as a
Shanghai dispatch to the brndon
Chronicle represents the mission
of the cruiser Charleston to be the
capture of Honolulu while on ht-r
way back to this country. It is
difficult to account for such
credulity except upon the theory
tha' all Ilritons believed the
United States will imitate their
own government and seize any
small power that may ba left
defenseless. If this course of
action had been followed by us we
could have had the greater part of
the American continent by this
time.
