# Alternate Current Electrostatic Induction Apparatus

The Electrical Engineer - N.Y. — May 6, 1891.
About a year and a half ago while engaged in the study of alternate currents of short period, it occurred to me that such currents could be obtained by rotating charged surfaces in close proximity to conductors. Accordingly I devised various forms of experimental apparatus of which two are illustrated in the accompanying engravings.
Figure 1.
In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, A is a ring of dry shellacked hard wood provided on its inside with two sets of tin-foil coatings, a and b, all the a coatings and all the b coatings being connected together, respectively, but independent from each other. These two sets of coatings are connected to two terminals, T. For the sake of clearness only a few coatings are shown. Inside of the ring A, and in close proximity to it there is arranged to rotate a cylinder B, likewise of dry, shellacked hard wood, and provided with two similar sets of coatings, a$_1$ and b$_1$, all the coatings a1 being connected to one ring and all the others, b$_1$, to another marked + and –. These two sets, a$_1$ and b$_1$ are charged to a high potential by a Holtz or a Wimshurst machine, and may be connected to a jar of some capacity. The inside of ring A is coated with mica in order to increase the induction and also to allow higher potentials to be used.
Figure 2.
When the cylinder B with the charged coatings is rotated, a circuit connected to the terminals T is traversed by alternating currents. Another form of apparatus is illustrated in Fig. 2. In this apparatus the two sets of tin-foil coatings are glued on a plate of ebonite, and a similar plate which is rotated, and the coatings of which are charged as in Fig. 1, is provided.
The output of such an apparatus is very small, but some of the effects peculiar to alternating currents of short periods may be observed. The effects, however, cannot be compared with those obtainable with an induction coil which is operated by an alternate current machine of high frequency, some of which were described by me a short while ago.

# A treasury of war poetry, British and American poems of the world war, 1914-1919/Evening Clouds

EVENING CLOUDS
A LITTLE flock of clouds go down to rest In some blue corner off the moon's highway, With shepherd winds that shook them in the West To borrowed shapes of earth, in bright array, Perhaps to weave a rainbow's gay festoons Around the lonesome isle which Brooke has made A little England full of lovely noons, Or dot it with his country's mountain shade.
Ah, little wanderers, when you reach that isle Tell him, with dripping dew, they have not failed, What he loved most; for late I roamed awhile Thro' English fields and down her rivers sailed; And they remember him with beauty caught From old desires of Oriental Spring Heard in his heart with singing overwrought; And still on Purley Common gooseboys sing.

FIGHTING HARD
"The Australians are fighting hard in Gallipoli."—Cable.
ROLLING out to fight for England, singing songs across the sea; Rolling North to fight for England, and to fight for you and me; Fighting hard for France and England, where the storms of Death are hurled; Fighting hard for Australasia and the honour of the World! Fighting hard.
Fighting hard for Sunny Queensland—fighting for Bananaland, Fighting hard for West Australia, and the mulga and the sand; Fighting hard for Plain and Wool-Track, and the haze of western heat— Fighting hard for South Australia and the bronze of Farrar's Wheat! Fighting hard!
Fighting hard for fair Victoria, and the mountain and the glen; (And the Memory of Eureka—there were other tyrants then), For the glorious Gippsland forests and the World's great Singing Star— For the irrigation channels where the cabbage gardens are— Fighting hard!
​Fighting hard for gale and earthquake, and the wind-swept ports between; For the wild flax and manuka and the terraced hills of green. Fighting hard for wooden homesteads, where the mighty kauris stand— Fighting hard for fern and tussock!—Fighting hard for Maoriland! Fighting hard!
Fighting hard for little Tassy, where the apple orchards grow (And the Northern Territory, just to give the place a show), Fighting hard for Home and Empire, while the Commonwealth prevails And, in spite of all her blunders, dying hard for New South Wales. Dying hard.
Fighting for the Pride of Old Folk, and the people that you know; And the girl you left behind you—(ah! the time is passing slow). For the proud tears of a sister! come you back, or never come! And the weary Elder Brother, looking after things at home— Fighting hard! You Lucky Devils! Fighting hard.

FAREWELL TO ANZAC
OH, hump your swag and leave, lads, the ships are in the bay; We've got our marching orders now, it's time to come away; And a long good-bye to Anzac beach where blood has flowed in vain, For we're leaving it, leaving it—game to fight again!
​But some there are will never quit that bleak and bloody shore, And some that marched and fought with us will fight and march no more; Their blood has bought till judgment day the slopes they stormed so well, And we're leaving them, leaving them, sleeping where they fell!
(Leaving them, leaving them, the bravest and the best; Leaving them, leaving them, and maybe glad to rest! We've done our best with yesterday, to-morrow's still our own— But we're leaving them, leaving them, sleeping all alone!)
Ay, they are gone beyond it all, the praising and the blame, And many a man may win renown, but none more fair a fame; They showed the world Australia's lads knew well the way to die, And we're leaving them, leaving them, quiet where they lie!
(Leaving them, leaving them, sleeping where they died; Leaving them, leaving them, in their glory and their pride— Round them sea and barren land, over them the sky, Oh, we're leaving them, leaving them, quiet where they lie!)
C. Fox Smith
QUEENSLANDERS
LEAN brown lords of the Brisbane beaches, Lithe-limbed kings of the Culgoa bends, Princes that ride where the Roper reaches, Captains that camp where the grey Gulf ends— Never such goodly men together Marched since the kingdoms first made war; Nothing so proud as the Emu Feather Waved in an English wind before!
​Ardour and faith of those keen brown faces! Challenge and strength of those big brown hands! Eyes that have flashed upon wide-flung spaces! Chins that have conquered in fierce far lands!— Flood could not daunt them, Drought could not break them; Deep in their hearts is their sun's own fire; Blood of thine own blood, England, take them! These are the swords of thy soul's desire!

FLOWER-BEDS IN THE TUILERIES
FRANCE is planting her gardens, France is preparing her spring; Seeds in their long rows slumbering, Bulbs in their ranks outnumbering, For the brown beds' bordering; France is planting her gardens, France is preparing her spring, France—of the ermined lilies, France—of the Fleur-de-Lys; And royal still her will is, Say the stately Tuileries.
Her crippled and maimed and broken Walk smiling, in her sun; These are they who have spoken Her word by the lips of Verdun; Their little, gay children go leaping— Laugh loud from the merry-go-round; France has sown, for their reaping, The flowers of France that are sleeping Near by, in the warm brown ground.
France has planted her Garden, France has prepared her a Spring, All mankind for its warden, Love for its singing bird; Never the frost shall harden Earth that has in its keeping Seed sown there at her word, Never the birds take wing; Where the flower of France is sleeping That earth shall have her spring!

EXPECTANS EXPECTAVI
FROM morn to midnight, all day through, I laugh and play as others do, I sin and chatter, just the same As others with a different name.
And all year long upon the stage, I dance and tumble and do rage So vehemently, I scarcely see The inner and eternal me.
I have a temple I do not Visit, a heart I have forgot, A self that I have never met, A secret shrine—and yet, and yet
​This sanctuary of my soul Unwitting I keep white and whole, Unlatched and lit, if Thou should'st care To enter or to tarry there.
With parted lips and outstretched hands And listening ears Thy servant stands, Call Thou early, call Thou late, To Thy great service dedicate.

FAITH
SINCE all that is was ever bound to be; Since grim, eternal laws our Being bind; And both the riddle and the answer find, And both the carnage and the calm decree; Since plain within the Book of Destiny Is written all the journey of mankind Inexorably to the end; since blind And mortal puppets playing parts are we:
Then let's have faith; good cometh out of ill; The power that shaped the strife shall end the strife; Then let's bow down before the Unknown Will; Fight on, believing all is well with life; Seeing within the worst of War's red rage The gleam, the glory of the Golden Age.

EVENING IN ENGLAND
FROM its blue vase the rose of evening drops. Upon the streams its petals float away. The hills all blue with distance hide their tops In the dim silence falling on the grey. A little wind said "Hush!" and shook a spray Heavy with May's white crop of opening bloom, A silent bat went dipping up the gloom.
Night tells her rosary of stars full soon, They drop from out her dark hand to her knees. Upon a silhouette of woods the moon Leans on one horn as if beseeching ease From all her changes which have stirred the seas. Across the ears of Toil Rest throws her veil, I and a marsh bird only make a wail.

EXPEDITIONAL
TROOPS to our England true Faring to Flanders, God be with all of you And your commanders.
Clear be the sky o'erhead, Light be the landing: Not till the work is sped Be your disbanding.
On the old battle-ground Where fought your fathers, Faithful shall ye be found When the storm gathers.
Fending a little friend Weak but unshaken— Quick! there's no time to spend Or the fort's taken.
Though he defy his foes, He may go under. Quick! ere the battle close Speed with your thunder.
He hath his all at stake: More can have no man. Quick! ere the barrier break, On to the foeman.
Troops to this England true And your commanders, God be with all of you Fighting in Flanders.

# A treasury of war poetry, British and American poems of the world war, 1914-1919/Fallen

FALLEN
WE talked together in the days gone by Of life and of adventure still to come, We saw a crowded future, you and I, And at its close two travellers come home, Full of experience, wise, content to rest, Having faced life and put it to the test.
Already we had seen blue skies grow bleak, And learned the fickleness of fate, firsthand; We knew each goal meant some new goal to seek, Accepting facts we couldn't understand; You seemed equipped for life's most venturous way— Death closed the gallant morning of your day.
Oh, many a one still watching others go Might fall, and leave no such heart-sickening gap. What waste, what pity 't seems to squander so Courage that dared whatever ill might hap, While laggards, fearful both of worst and best, Hoard up the life you hazarded with zest!
It seems like waste to others, but to you And the thronged heroes who have paid the price, Yourselves, your hopes, and all you dreamed and knew, Were counted as a puny sacrifice— You knew, with keener judgment, all was gained, If honour at the last shone still unstained!

##### NOTE ON THE POSITION OF THE MAGNETIC POLES.

(Referred to, Vol. I. p. 247., and Vol. II. p. 357.)
Professor Gauss, in his General Theory of Terrestrial Magnetism, states, that "the exact computation of the places of these two poles, according to our elements, gives them as follows:—
"1. In 73° 35′ north latitude, and 95° 39′ west longitude from Greenwich, the total intensity being 1.701 on the unity in common use.
"2. In 72° 35′ south latitude, and 152° 30′ east longitude, the total intensity 2.253.
"According to Captain James Ross's observation, the north magnetic pole falls 3° 35′ to the south of its position, according to our calculation, which gives at that place a direction of the magnetic force differing 1° 12′ from observation, as may be seen in the table of comparisons. We must expect a considerably greater displacement of the position of the southern pole. At Hobart Town, which is the nearest station to this pole, calculation gives too low a dip by 3° 38′, as far as the observation can be depended upon. It seems probable, therefore, that the actual south magnetic pole is considerably to the north of the position given by our calculation; and that it may be looked for in about 66° S. latitude, and 146° E. longitude."
It was this last paragraph in which M. Gauss infers the place of the south magnetic pole, that was the occasion of my instructions directing me to seek it in latitude 66° S., rather than in the position which M. Gauss's theory places ​it. The result has proved the latter to be the more correct; and it is curious to observe that the error of its computed place is not very different from that of the north magnetic pole. In the latter case, my observations placed the pole 3° 35' south of that given by M. Gauss's theory; and a careful combination of all the observations of our late voyage, assigns the position of the south magnetic pole in 75° 5' S., and longitude 154° 8' E., or about 2° 30' also south of its place as computed by Professor Gauss. It is to be hoped that the accession of so great a number of observations as the Antarctic Expedition has supplied, will afford M. Gauss the means of perfecting his theory, by which, even with the inaccurate observations he before possessed, enabled him to calculate within very narrow limits the three magnetic elements at any given point on the surface of our globe.

# Advice to the Young with an Advice to the Old/Memoirs of William Miller

Memoirs of William Miller.
AT DEANSTON WORKS.
TO a refined and liberal mind, it muſt, and it has always given great pleaſure to obſerve, the progreſs and advancement of knowledge, and good ſenſe in the lower orders, whoſe leiſure is little, and whoſe acceſs to Books is circumſcribed how much greater ſatisfaction muſt it give, to obſerve that progreſs manifeſted in an age, generally reckoned unfit for mental exertion.
William Miller, the ſubject of the present memoir, and author and compiler of the following tracts and extracts, was born at Pendrich Mill, ſituated at the baſe of the mountain called Dalmiet, near Stirling, on the 9th February, 1800, of creditable and honeſt parents, whoſe ſtraitened circumſtances in the world did not enable them so give their ſon ſuch an ​education as they could have wiſhed. He never had the benefit of a public ſchool, except one quarter of a year.
For the laſt four years he has been employed at Deanſton Works, near Doune, Perthſhire. During the ſummer of 1812, he wrote the following tracts and extracts in the evenings (in which manner, by perſeverance, and conſtant application, chiefly acquired that degree of learning which enabled him to do ſo) after the labours of the day were finiſhed: A convincing proof that youth trained up early to habits of induſtry, even at public works ſeldom fail to rival and excel in virtue, thoſe who, poſſeſſed of wealth and independence, too often ſquander their time in the haunts of idleneſs and diſſipation.
The vein of genuine Chriſtian piety which runs through the whole is certainly highly creditable to a boy only eleven years of age:
A Friend to Learning.
Deanſton, 28th Nov. 1812.
