The young time killers fresh from college
who bcwail the Overcrowded condition of the
professions, should pay attention to the de.
mand that now exists tor talent and industry
IN electric engineering. This is a vocation
that is not crowded in the least, and, what
with improvements in telegraphy, telephones,
electric lights, electric engines, and electric
railroads, there is a grand field for research
and energy. The possibilities of electricity
are yet but slightly invaded. The invcn.
ton of the telephone demonstrates how mis-
taken were those who thought they had caught
the full force of the lightning in the clouds
when they made it of service for the tele.
graph. Electric engines are as yet but mere
toys. They may become great mechanical
forces. The business is bound to be most
profitable, and the demand for talent In it is
greater than the supply-N. Y. Sun.
