At the French foundry of Creuzot,
electricity is used to smelt minerals and
to melt and solder metals. Metals
placed in the electric arc, melt like
snow, steel, it is said, melting like but.
ter in few seconds. But the aston

are affected with something like sun.
stroke while looking on.
Nearly every day some wonderful
discovery is made as to the uses and
effects of electricity. Bulwer's idea of
"Vril''w,ll in time be more than realiz.
ed, and electricity will be the
power which will become SO
much under the control of
man that whole army can be annihi
lated by flash or by touching a but
ton. Then Bulwer's further idea will
be realized, viz: that it will be useless
to 60 to war for the two armies would
simply annihilate each other at about
the first stroke of lightning.
Those who saw Prof. Favour's ex.
perinents in Worthington must have
received similar suggestions from the
dancing images between the two cleo
trio plates. At a touch they danced
and manouvered and at a touch they
dropped dead. Given the proper con-

God to annihilate IN army If a million
men. A child could do it as easily as
the engineers little girl blew up the
rocks Of Hell.gate by a touch of her
small finger.

this omnipresent principle? Prof.
Philbrook says it is the veritable AL
mighty Himself. If SO, the Old He
brew was right when he said "Our God
is consuming fire.
