Ironing is now done by electricity.
An electric burglar alarm is being placed between the rows of brick in the new sub-treasury building at San Francisco. Any interference will complete the circuit and sound a bell.
A small cabinet containing an alarm clock, a three-candle power lamp, a medical coil and a gaslighter, all operated by electricity from four cells of dry battery, is among the novelties recently devised.
The submarine cable connecting the dynamo station on Sandy Hook, N. Y., with the new electric light buoy on Southwest Spit, was laid recently. The cable is two miles long. The buoy it will light marks a sharp right angle turn for heavy draught vessels.
In trying to solve the difficulties of searching for the wounded at night after a great battle the experiment has been tried with fair success at Gratz of sending out men armed with portable electric lanterns, which were fed by accumulators contained in their knapsacks.
