...more powerful machines are called "Series machines," in which the current from the dynamo is strengthened by passing through all the large coil of its electric-magnet. The ordinary are light is made by breaking the outside circuit of a Series machine. The carbon tips must be together when the current is started, and the break is made by lifting the upper one a little by a mechanical arrangement. The powerful current, in overcoming the resistance offered by the air, heats the carbon tips to a white heat. In the incandescent lamp the resistance is offered by a filament...
...Chicago and organized a university base-ball association with A. L. Packard as president, F. B. Parker as vice-president, and F. M. Tilden as treasurer.

The work of Beaman and Wiestling in the field was very fine, their stops and throws being phenomenal. Winslow led at the bat with a clean record...
...electrical paper reports a new device for aiding base ball umpires in their arduous duties, An underground wire forms a circuit with all the bases. When the base runner touches the plate, an electric bell rings in a small tower near the umpire's position. It is to be hoped that this device will be fully tested this season, and, if found useful, adopted all over the country. It will be a grand thing if, in course of time, an umpire can have all his duties performed by electricity; and if the inventor of this noble plan could only find...
