Untamed Electricity,

The discovery BY horses lately tina,
electricity of wild and decidedly quar-.
relsome nature pervades the pavements
of Nassau street, New York. was ar
electrical wonder The London Gtobt
says that so curious instance of elec.
trical development by friction has beer
observed in Berlin brewery, though
not without causing good deal of alarm
among the workmen. Tho building is
constructed of stone and iron, the floor
being laid in asphalt. In the upper
story Of the malt-house was a malt.
cleaning machine, from which the malt
was taken through an iron shoot te
wagons below for distribution through
the works. 1t was found that if thi,
machine remained in operation for 6
length of time electricity was developed
by the friction of the malt with the
shoot, and in the most isolated portions
of it the tension of the electricity wa.
such as to cause a continuous stream O,
sparks. The malt itself cracked, while
the sparks flew from it to the hands o.
those standing by, who looked upon ths
manifestation as one Of the demoniaca
origin. An expert was called in to ex
anime the phenomenon, and the snbjec,
was brought before the Electrical Tech
nical union. DR.. Werner Siemens
showed how, through the influence o.
the asphalt floor, the Inalt-room was SC
insulated from the other portions of the
building as to become large Leyder

The Touch of Nature.

A boy, 10 wears old, pulling a heavy
cart loaded with pieces of boards anG
lath taken from some demolished struct
ure-an everyday sight in all our large
cities. Tired and exhausted, he halted
under shade tree. His feet were sore
and bruised. his clothes in rags, his
face pinched and looking years Older
than it should. The boy lay down on
the grass. and in five minutes was fast
asleep. His bare feet just touched the
curbstone, and the old hat fell from his
head and fell on the walk. In the
shadow of the tree his face told a story
that every passer-by could read. II
told of scapty food, of nights when the
body shivered with cold. of q home
without sunshine. of young life con.
fronted by mocking shadows.
Then something curious happened.
A. laboring mana queer old man with
wood-saw on his arm-crossed the
street to rest for moment beneath the
same shade. He glanced at the boy
and turned away, but his look was
drawn again, and now he saw the pict.
ure and read the story. He, too, knew
what it was to shiver and hunger. He
tip-toed along until he could bend over
the boy, and then he took from his
pocket a piece of bread and meat-the
dinner he was to eat if he found work
and laid it down beside the lad. Then
he walked carelessly away, looking back
every moment, but keeping out of sight,
as if he wanted to escape thanks.
Men, women and children had seen il
all, and what leveler it was! The
human soul is ever kind and generous,
but sometimes there is need of a key to
open it. A man walked down from his
steps and left half dollar beside the
poor mans bread. A woman walked
down and left good hat in place of the
old one. A child came with q pair Of
shoes, and boy with coat and vest
Pedestrians halted and whispered and
dropped dimes and quarters beside the
first silver piece. The pinched-face boy
suddenly awoke, and sprang up as if il
were crime to sleep there. He saw
the bread-the clothing-the money
the score of people waiting around te
see what he would do. He knew that
he had slept, and he realized that al
these things had come to him as ht
dreamed. Then what did he do? Why
he sat down and covered his face will
his hands and sobbed.
