Edison said in a late in- terview with a reporter : "You ask me about the future of electricity. Is is the coming motive power. It will be used on the railroads Horne day, but the point is to get en economical engine. My theory is to have immepse dynamos all along the line of the road, and have the electricity conveyed from these station- ary engines to the locomotives by wires through the rails. For example` , I would put two .big engines between New York and,Philadelphia,and enough power can be furnished to whisk the limited at the rate of one hundred miles per hour. " But this is the point I have been working on for years, to convert heat directly into electricity without the intervention of boiler, steam and -all that. What an enormous amount of expense could be saved if this could ,be done. Think of putting something in the heat a that natural gas fire and making electricity out of it. It can be done. I feel it in my bones, and just now I havea suspicion that I am on the right track, but it is a pesky problem, one that can be worked out only in time., "1 have been experimenting with an eleetric road iu New- Jersey. I had rails laid as they put them down on railroads, but the machine would run off the track in going around the curve. I then raised the curve to an angle of forty degrees and the motor went around all right. It looked as if the engine would topple over, but it didn't. You know in a centrifugal machine you can make a can go clear round a circle in the air without leaving the track." Morris. LOCALS. -Jos.

Wherever the above talented company have appeared the Press has spoken in the highest terms of praise of them. The Toronto -Globe says: The Caledonian Society and its friends had a regular feast of Scottish song last night at the Pavilion. The high repute which had weeded the Balmoral °heir of Glasgow to this city had drawn a large audience, every seat in the hall being occupied, and every one who went WAS fully charged with the enthusiasm which always comes uppermost when Sootchnien are gathered together. Constant singing together, has en- abled them to reach a degree of excellence in ensemble singing that is as rare as it is pleas- ing. In. rythmic precision the singing of the choir left nothing to be desired, and shading • and artistic phrasing was plentifully evident. Liberal effects of expression and characteristic) phrasing appealed to the national feeling of the audience; and, as before mentioned, en- cores were accorded to nearly every number. Mr. R. J. Patrick's readings Were much en- joyed by the audience, being delivered with a rich, unctuous humor and were both encored. Of The MUSM CIRCLE will meet in the roornSof the Y. M. C.
