It le coraponad of thras pairs of aine- carbon platos (twɔ"carbons, to encha zing), or af larger combat sccording to the current re- quired. These plates ipin e satórated solution of bichromats of potash, which in contained by on aboutte call, with three qumpartmenta The plates are fitted into a sever, which la kaps Becurely down on the top of the call by two hand of indiarabber pad round the whole. Finally the battery is chossed in two sheats of gutta pereka, no as to entirely provout any leakage. A miniature switch is carried in the pookes or ala whore within reach, to which the battery and lamp wires are ecumented. The pressure of finger on the arms of this switch makes or breaks communication with the lamp. The bat tory waighe (with six plates) 300 grammes, and will work about 30 minutes with a two or three- valt inmp. A hurger battery to work a four ar eight.roit lamp weighs 300 grammes. Ele trician.

A NEW ELECTRIO BAILWAY. A light rallway system, driven by electricity, and running at high speeds, has been devised by Mr. Hahn Dauchell, C.E., whose objset is to effect tus rapid transit of Let for and parools by electrical arena. The distinguishing festuri în its construction is that it has only one-rail for the train to run on instead of two, and that it is balansed by 'mnothor rail overhand, which at the same time performs the function of condnoting the eloc- Erie ourront, and also prevents the train lay- ing the metala, na itis ombraval by side Kriation palleys, placod in pairs and consented with the roots of the carriages.

The E railway is oirontar, and about 8 feat in diameter, the molar being about 12 inches long, 9 icobes high, and doriving is arrest from an ordinary

The tests have been ear- riod out at the principal military stations with, it is understood, equally satisfactoryresults to thoas obtained in the proof praticos, and though the now weapon is a little heavier about pix ounces
than the Martini-Flarry-Itis olsimed for it that. it possemas adrautages over the numerous patterns of rifle possessed by Continental armies-ite wuz slo velocity being 1570 feet par second, while ite ponotrative power is shown in the fact that a bal.; fat from it will penetrate a quartor-inch iron plato at 200 yards. Among other advantages of the now rifle-tho hranah sotien of which is the same in- principles the Martini-Hoary-are these.
