The Lap Palmasrorreepondent of »he London Daily Mail sends a remarkable account of a great scientific discovert. According to’the correspondent, the discovery is a method* of direct ly using atmospheric electricity without chem­ icals or dynrmos. and prsciically a|>- plying it without any motive force. The discoverer is Clemente Fuegueras, engineer of woods and forests for the Canary islands, and for many years professor of physics at St. Augustin’s college. Las Palmas, and long known as a scientific student. Hitherto he has jealously guarded the secret of his labors. feaHng that a premature revelation might rob him of his reward. Even n«»w. while he claims, to have entirely succeeded, he remains silent coneeriAig the exact principles of his discovery. He claims, however, to have invented a generator which can collect the elec­ tric fluid, to be able to store it. and to apply it to an infinite number of purposes; for instance, in connection with ships, railways and manufac- tories. He says he expects the ef­ fect of his. discovery will be a tremen­ dous economic and industrial revolu­ tion He will not give the key to bi> invention, but declares that the onlv extraordinary point about it i6 that it has taken so long to discover a sim­ ple scientific fact. Prof. Figueras Is shortly going to Madrid and Berlin to patent his in­ vention. A German electrical company is reported to have offered a large sum for the invention, while a syndicate in Barcelona has also made a generous offer. Neither advance has been ac­ cepted. This, the correspondent adds, is all that it is possible to obtain at present. No opinion can be expressed as to the value of the discovery until further details are known.. The London Mail adds that it has learned from other sources-that Prof. Fugueras has constructed a rough apparatus, by which he obtains a cur­ rent of 550 volts, which he utilizes in lighting his house and driving a 20- horse power motor. He is shortly com­ ing to London with a perfected work­ ing apparatus. His inventions com­ prise a generator, motor, and sort of governor or regulator. This whole apparatus is so simple that a child could work it. TALKS OF FAST AUTOS. Thomna Edison Given the Ride of HU Llfe~-Can Halid Machine That Wilt Heat the Wind.

These men are accused of having, by a conspiracy to blacken the name of Heney and secure his removal from office, at tempted to impede the course of justice bv hindering an officer oi the United Stales in the discharge of his duties To this end the defendants are accused of attempting to connect the name of Mr. Heney ami Marie Ware in a crimi- nal manner for the purpose of causing the removal of the District Attorney from his office. I Witnesses were secured by the prin­ cipals in the plot, so it is alleged, who would, at the right time, swear to hav­ ing seen Mr Heney and Miss Ware to­ gether in places of questionable char­ acter. This case was taken before John Man. ning, so it is said by John Hall, who asked Mr. Manning to make an investi­ gation ol the charges and return an in­ dictment upon them. This Mr. Manning refused lo do and the case fell to the ground. One other phase of the plot is said to be that Miss Ware was asked to entice Mr. Heney into places ¿villi her which would compromise him and thus secure the object of the conspirators. This Miss I Ware refused to do, and acquainted the Government officers with the plot.
