to a few prophetic eyes Experiments in cleo
iric lighting had been practically successfuI
only within very narrow limits, and beyond
few mechanical applications which now seem
meagrc and insignificant the general pubhc
saw nothing more than vague possibilities ~
the future. IL was the invention OF the
lelephone-at once a marvellous toy and prac-
tical necessity-that first gave to electrical SCI
cuce the impetus under which the immense
progress of the last decade has been accom-
nlisbed. That was indeed a touch Of nature
which made the whole world kin. When cleo
t,icity became an inmate Of the home it reased
to be the exclusive property Of men OF science
and occupied forthwith place in the Thoughts
Of all from which il can never be dislodged.
And so it has rapidly come about that an eager
curiosity as to what new conquests are IN store
what marvellous appliances will soon become
the common property Of civilization, exists IN
every intelligent mird and even the children
are expect ant of wonderful things in the future
We welcome to New-Y York the men who have
made the application Of electricity to the uses
Of mankind the practical business OF their lives
That must be fascinating pursuit which, when
it has engrosscd the intellect possesses the
higher power Of kindling the imagination.

The assembling Of three hundred electricians
in this city is an event Of practical importance
to all the civilized world, whereas few
years ago ii would have possessed significance
only to those who are professionally interested
in the subtle agent whose operations the dele

phenomena have always exercised natural
fascination over the minds Of invest gators ever
since the earliest Observers made the dscov-
cries which Pliny records. A long series Of
beautiful experiments, Of which the most pict-
uresque and the most famous was Frankllns
drawing Of electricity from the clouds. had
scarcely done more, however, in respect OF
popular knowledge and appreciation of the
mysterious force than to keep alive the sense
Of awe with which il was invested, wien sud

IL will be observed at a glance that the
American reports are defective in failing to
distinguish between men and boys employed
in many branches Of work. In consequence.
in many Of the occupations included above.
the wages paid are partly to men and partly 10
boys. though the distinction is not preserved
in the official returns. Hence the average
wages paid to adult males are made to appear
lower than they would be if accurate claSSif-
cations had been preserved, as in the British
reports. Nevertheless. the wide difference
between wages paid is apparent The average
paid TO males not known to be minors. thougl
many included undoubtedly are boys and many
of them quite young. exceeds the average paid
TO men alone in Great Britain by e0.2 per
cent. The average paid to boys in this country
exceeds the British average by 1914 per cent
In the British clasSifcatons girls and women
are separately stated, but in most Of the Ameri-
can reports no such distinction is observed
II is well known that in Great Britain girls are
in many cases employed to do the worl. here
done by women. as boys are in many cases
employed to do the work here done by men
and the average wages Of female workers in
This country are IL 8 per cent higher than The
average paid in Great Britain.
Let it be noticed hat because Of the differ
ent proportions of boys and girls employed in
the different countries. this comparison is not
so precise as that Of the previous table, which
shows lower difference in wages. This table
nevertheless serves to prove beyond a question
that in each industry. and in each class or
kind Of labor. substantially the same vast
difference exists which was found in the wages
Of selected occupations. Indeed, il the com
parison OF 367 occupations or classes in the
United States with 562 in the same branches
Of industry in Great Britain be considered
more reliable than the comparison of only %
classes, the conclusion is inevitable that in the
occupations which cannot be precisely com
pared because Of different classtcatons or
names, there is a wider difference in wages and
greater advantage in favor Of the American
workers, than in the occupations which can be
precisely compared. For the well-known en-
ployment OF minors instead Of adults in Great
