"What the dlvil's that?"
"Sure unough, wlmt is it.
Wo ttirtiod to sco tho occasion of
thoso remarks, and for a moment
would havo sworn that tho Elevated
Road was on tiro, and tho rails burn
ing with frightful rapidity. Sparks
wore Hying in a stonily stream, nnd
littlo blue llnm cs were licking up tho
iron work as though it was composed
of fusco instead of stout metal gonor
ally supposed to bo incombustible.
The mystery was soon explained, and
as tho llaino shot by at tho rato of
twcnty-flvo miles per hour, wo saw
that it was tho Hon Franklin, tho now
motor that it is claimed will settle
Kceloy nnd revolutionize tho railroad
business in tho world.
NEW MOTOlt, 11KN FrtANKMN.
From the above cut , you wouldn't sny
that tills littlo thing was a revolution
Izor. it looks hIidd o and childlike
enough, but you caiPt judge a innehino
by its looks, and this new fanglod con
trivance especially is very decoptivo.
for it grabs hold of lightning and
makes it a slavo to carry passengers
at tho low llguro of five cents for two
miles, and will incroaso tho longth to
fourteen mllos ore long, whon it is
allowed to travol tlio ontiro length of
the road. At tho moment wo saw it
shoot by it was ongaged in polishing
up the third rail which had been laid
60IH0 six months before, nnd was con
sequently full of rust, and as it How
by, with an omory wheel in full mo
tion at tho speed of 2500 revolutions
per iiiinutu.it indeed lookod somewhat
Btartllng against tho black sky, for it
was night, and protty dark, and wo do
not wonder that some folks thought
thoy had soon a veritable streak of
lightning spinning along the rail at a
lively rato when they saw tho sparks
fly from revolving eniory, and shoot
up like a comet.
"Won't that electricity kill a man?"
wo asked of an olevalod gate keopor a
few moments later.
"Kill a mini, an' be Jasus that it
will, an' pretty quick, too."
"Havo you over stepped on tho rail
when it is charged?" wo asked.
"Sthopped on tho rail, whin it was
charirod. Sure now wo don't chnrgo
the rail onything. It's the passengers
wo charge on this lino," and with a
ohueklo tho goodnatured Irishman
advised us to go down to "ilftoonth
Bthreeth, an' they'll tell yo all about
It."
So to Fifteenth slroot wo wont, and
discovered that tho lien Franklin is the
largest oleotrlo motor over built In tlio
world, that It weighs about nine and a
quarter tons, possesses from seventy
live to one hundred horse power, nnd
Is calculated to carry an elevated train
containing live hundred people nt the
rato of twcnty-llvo miles per hour, or
faster If desired.
Wo l kowiso learned that tho oloc
trloity used on the elevated is low ten
sion, while llghtninir is static, and
tolographio and arc olootno lights are
Jiijl H'nslyn currents.
Torliaps everybody dor-Bit' t know
Just what this means, so wo will ox
plain that when eloetriolty gots weary,
so to speak, and only travels at the
rate of forty thousand" miles persocond
It is low tension, and not particularly
dangerous, in reasonable quantities.
When electricity wakes up and gots to
busiuess-at tho speed of two hundred
miles per second, that is to say takes a
journey equal to eight voyages around
tho world in less time than you unit
sny Jack Robinson, however, then it
gets a little dangerous in its mad
career, and the man who trios to stop
it irenorally gives up tlio job and tho
ghost at the'sanie tune. Hut electric
Fty Is then only high tension, after all.
To see electricity really in an enjoy
able frame of mind yon must get it in
the static mood for traveling, and then
It gots up and dusts at the marvelous
rate of about a million miles per sec
ond, more or less, as our scientists
have not yet bfon able to keep up with
it in its static state. Rut it is safe to
give It a leeway of a million miles per
Kecond until tho record Is lowered, and
this is only attained by the best racers
on the electrical track, static lightning
being one of them.
Electricity was discovered in Greece
a long t nio ago, and was first noticed
by a curious party who was rubbing
timber together, and who noticed the
ulectriunl lluld shooting from them
during the friction. Ho doesn't ooiu
to have thought much of his discovery,
however, and though many a crank
ItuH wasted his time slneo then, lit try
ing to kuep up with It or cage it, only
a limited iiinnbur havo been iintnt.fiil
In reully obtaining inuuh bum-lit on" of
It.

I.KO HAKT.
Mr. Daft is an Englishman, nbottt
forty-ono years of ago, and ho has fool
ed around, electricity for tho past
twenty yoars, or over sinco his advent
into America. Ho claims that his
motors will open tho way for the adop
tion of electricity instead of steam on
all railroads of tho future, past and
present, nnd that the steam whistle
will bo a thing of tho past shortly,
from tho fact Hint ho declares lie can
save fifty por cent in fuel over either
coal or wood, in tho manufacture of
electricity as against steam. Whether
this can bo clone or not remains to bo
seen, and the olovatod roads are giv-'
ing him achanco to demonstrate it, by
lotting a third rail be laid between tho,
other two for tho length of two niilosi
on the Ninth Avonuo Elevated from'
Fourteenth to Fifty-Ninth street, nnd
if satlslied with the working they will)
adopt It on the short line.
Dnft's works nre in Jersey, and con
sequently his electricity as nppliod to.
tho elevated Is dubbed lightning. ThisJ
should not bo confounded with thoj
genuine article ot Jersey lightning,,
however, which kills at forty rods.i
and is doled out over a counter, for;
this of Dnft's is less dangerous, taken,
In equal doses. A man laying his hand1
on tho rail when charged will feel a,
slight prickling sensation, but that is1
all. This is owing to the fact that the
rail is a better conductor than the hii-j
man body, and consequently tlio lluid
goes quietly by at tho rato of forty!
thousand miles por second, anil1
doesn't try to escape, whereas if it was
high tension and went at the rate of
two hundred thousand miles per hoc
ond, it would bo anxious to ily oft m
every direction, and tho man who laid!
his hand on the rail would probably!
solve the problem of the future hi)
short order, under such a condition of
tilings.
Jt has taken about throo months to,
build the Ren Franklin, and if the
road should decide to equip all its lines,
it would take at least a year under the
most favorable circumstances to build
the two hundred nnd tifty motors that
would bo required, and then tho work
would hayo to bo done outside the reg
ular shopB. As tho motors are esti
mated to cost over four thousand dol
lars each, It would be over a million
dollar contract to furnish the motors
nloiie. A million dollars Isn't much
nowadays iu Now York, moroly a
trillo to Cyrus Field, and if the ele
vated wants motors it shall have them.
So say wo all.
Tho motor can bo run by ono man,
but tho State law requires that two
nion shall go with every engine. In
case one dies or gots killed, tlio other
is Biinposod to run the thing into port,
and (fit is an accident that has sent
Ills companion to the better land, the
survivor is supposed to lie to all tho
roporteis, and swear that the man
died of heart disease, and tho road
wasn't to blame. This is tho chief oc
cupation of tho second man.
A new light has entered tho electric
arena, and with a grand llottrlsh. This
is Ed. Stokes, known to fame for a lit
tle dlllloulty with James Fisk some
yoars ago. unci Inter on as tho owner
of the handsomest bar in tho United
States, if not the whole world. His
lightning has paid big over the bar,
and now he proposes to make some
thing out of it over tho wire, and dis
pute with Jay (lould the right to tho
telegraph business of tho country.
KOWAUn S. STl'KKS.
Stokes bought In the Rankers and
Merchants telegraph wires a few
weeks ago, when thoy wore sold ut
public himi, after being seized by tho
Western Union, and now he is back
ing up a suit of two millions damages
brought against tho Western Union by
the receiver of the Hankers and Mer
chants for the W. U's. action iu lay
ing hands on those wires. Thus

that the Western Union is not earning

Stokes como In nnd attack him in this
way Is beyond endurance and It is
supposed that somebody will bo given
tho lio, at loRst Stokes" is waiting to
seo what his old time enemy will do
about it, nnd so is tlio public.
Perhaps tho happiest man in the
elcctrio business is Edison, at least ho
looked so when wo called upon him
sotno days since. Ho is happy in tho
consciousness that most of his inven
tions havo been successful and monoy
mnking, nnd that ho has a pretty good
grip on rival corporations. Most men
who had seventy-six lawsuits on hnnds
about various infringements would bo
nappy.
TIIOS. A. EDISON.
Wo went to seo him in order to got
nn nrticlo written about electricity
from his pen. Ho was found in tho
KIcctrio Light works up stairs in tho
work room, with his blouso or long
apron on, and his faeo and hands be
grimed with tlio handling of various
electrical contrivances, aiid tho vari
ous electrical smokes that woro filling
tho immediate spaco around him.
'Mr. Edison, could you bo induced
to write an article on electricity," wo
asked with assurance born of hope.
Mr. Edison took a sent, and looking
up with a quizzical air said,
"I'll toll you something interesting,
but 1 havii't tho time to write, and
besides I wrote ono articlo onco on
olootrioity and about half of it was
loft out of tho paper. It's hard to
make electricity interesting to tho
gonoral public, anyhow."
"Well what can you tell about it
that is interesting?"
"Well about the most interesting
tiling 1 over saw In print was an inter
view which ono of my rivals figured in,
and in which lie gav.o mo tho knowl
edge that ho was infringing on my
riglits. So wo had a lawsuit, and I
boat him. Now if ho hadn't gotton
into the papers, and explained his sys
tem, I wouldn't probably have receiv
ed the necessary information to gain
tho suit with. Since then I have
thought it best to lot othors do the
talking for newspapers. You under
stand!"' "Is that all tho interesting informa
tion you can give us to-day?"
"lo9, just at present, but como
nround in a month or two and wo'll
sco what can bo done," nnd with a
cheory good day ho resumed his work,
while wo wended our way to tho olo
vator. Perhaps sonio people would liko to
soo tho lirst locomotive in tho world,
whilo wo are on tho subject of motors,
etc., so here it is iu all its pristine
loveliness and early beauty.
llltST 1.O0OMOTIVK, 1801.
In the good old days of 1801 this lo
comotive enjoyed tlio distinction of
be!nr tho oulv locomotive in the
world. It couldn't run except on a
level surface, or rather track, and
wasn't much on the run then. In
Ivalny weather it stayed nt home, which
was at Merthtvr-Ty dvil, England. It
was the invention of Richard Trovi
tiiiok, and In its day was considered a
marvel, and so it "was. It ran ou a
track laid on ties nbove tho surfneo of
the earth, ami not Imbedded in it, and
was regarded ns a great innovat on
and intruder by tho various stage linos
of that dnv. whose owners wished It
ail sorts of bad luck and predicted dire
consoquonces to those who risked ldo
and limb ou the new machine. Little
did they know at that time that thisl t
tie insignificant looking steam arrang
moot would one day control, through
its descendants, miles of territory and
crowds of statesmen, until It became a
power that would upset many a good
man's curly piety, and leave him rich
in worldly goods, if not iu spiritual
drapery hereafter. Such is the ease,
however, and while tho loeomot vehas
been tho fore-runner of eiviliuillon, it
has likewise boon the downfall of many
a uougruhsiunii, and the hlud-kickor of
many an ousted ulUuial.

Cottage Interiors.
Many directions given in regard to
houselold furnishings aro bewildering
from their impracticable character
and carelessness of exponse. Ono
is told that antique china, highly de
corated in classic designs, is essential;
that portieres must bo rich nnd Orien
tal; that onyx Corinthian columns aro
useful additions to furnishings; that
all articles must bo unique, richly
carved, and iu strango design. It
may bo pleasant to contemplato
luxuries of that sort, but with a limit
ed income ono is apt to bo exasperated
nt tho accounts. Miss Phelps, in her
last book, "An Old Maid's Paradise,"
iias described an interior of a cottago
with rnro simplicity. She says tho
small parlor was painted gray, tho
walls, celling, nnd lloor harmonizing
in dilluront, tints. A border of black
ran nround tho lloor, nnd several felt
mats of cherry color, fringed with
gray, gavo a cheerful effect. Tho
beams and rafters loft bare by the
absence of plastering woro touched
witli a neutral tint. Tho dado was
formed of wood-cuts, nil lnudscapcs,
from American nnd English magazines,
bordered by a lino lino of black. A
frlozo of cardinal Mowers cut from
ehromos finished the top of the room.
Tlio curtains woro cotton ilannel of a
silver shade, bordered and tied with
cherry. Tho cheap and comfortable
lounges woro upholstered witli gray
cotton Ilannel, and had bright pillows.
The deck chair at tho window was
tied with cherry ribbons. There was
a tiny open stove. Tho rocking chair
was old and generous. Rooks, stat
tuottes, and pictures woro abundant,
nnd tho room had tho air of having
been lived in a long time. Tho dining
room was oilod, not painted, and tho
rafters of tho ceilings were covered
with thin lichens linecl with gold paper.
Tho curtains woro English silesia, of a
golden brown, worked wit li oak leaves.
Ono of the chambers was blue and tho
oilier greon. On tho pale ceiling of
tlio blue room pale butterilies from
natural history cards wero pasted.
The windows were draped with blue
nnd white muslin. The green room
had green lloor, walls, and furniture.
The walls woro hung with ferns, press
ed and tastoned securely with gum
tragacanth. Tho curtains wero of
cheap white muslin, and were not tied.
The room lookod liko a bower. Miss
Phelps adds that there was not a stork,
u bulru-h, n Jnpnneso fniv nor a grand
mother's tcaqup in the house. Rut it
is useless to deny that Japanese fans
tiro desirable and ornamental, if thoy
tiro well chosen and aro not used in ex
cess. The advantage of Miss Phelps'
picturo is its illustrative force. A
cheerful, artistic room and liouso does
not depend entirely upon its pecuniary
value. Tho elegant mansion which
lias been furnished tinder the direction
of the house furnisher, and which bears
not a thought nor suggestion of its
owners, is lifeless and baro coniparod
to tho houso furnished under tho lov
ing care of a tasteful possossor to whom
each object roprosents careful study.
The poorest clerk can havo a pretty',
attractive homo if ho saves his wages

nal. An Ancient Spanish Title.
In 1717, when a band of colonists
from the Canary islands settlod iu San
Fernando (now" San Antonio) writes a
San Antonio correspondent to Tut
Qalvcslon News tho Spanish govern
ment granted to the town six leagues
of laud around the town as exidos,
which was laid oil' by motes ami
bounds, with prominent natural ob
jects for corners.
About 1840 tho city cniployod Mr.
John Jnnios, a competent surveyor, to
resurvoy the lands granted to the city,
which was done and a map made ot
the sanio. This survey was passed
upon directly by the supremo court of
Texas in the ease of Lewis vs. San
Antonio, in Texas, in 1851, and the
correctness of tho survey was admitted
by tho court. Tho city of San Antonio
has held tho land embraced in tho sur
vey niado by John Jnmes for over
forty years prior to such serve'. The
lands' had been surveyed in 1717, or
soon afterwards, and the survey by
John James was a resurvoy, based ou
the original boundaries of the original
survey; but some parties, conceiving
that more than six leagues wero em
braced iu tlio James survey, and that
such excess was public land belonging
to Texas and was open to entry, nave
quietly tiled upon it. Others aro pre-
j, tiring to hie upon other portions of
St.
It is doubtful if the commissioner of
the laud olliee was told or suspected
that these lands were embraced in the
Bttrvey of San Antonio, wore elaiinod
by the city, and were prima faoio no
longer public land. Your correspond
put roco vod a hint of it a month ago
in a casual conversation, but was met
y tli such studied reticence that he
could not trace it out.
Ex-City Engineer Smith, whon inter
viewed, "yesterday, frankly said that
he would not divulge certain matters.
Whon asked ou which side of town the
exeeis was supposed to be, he replied
he was not at liberty to state, nor did
iie feel at liberty to say who had tiled
upon it. As the city had. sold pretty
well all its lauds grunted to it as oxi
des, this movement is likely to open a
mint of litigation. The chances are
that the title of the oily will prevail,
sinco it htu held possession ovur l.VJ
years, and nearly Iu since the Jamec
unoy was miule. and in Lewis vs.
San Antonio the court decided that
twenty wars poiji.niuu would bar. the
