anger. To all outward appearances his life
is not only blameless but he is marvellous in
his power Of restraint and the deliberate aud
collected way in which he asserts his god
head and replies to aspersions. There Is no
question but that he has most unaccount-
able influence over the minds of those with
whom he comes in contact. He numbers
among his followers people Of learning and
culture, and his kingdom, as he calls it. is

At this season, when storms are so common,
and everybody Is studying the relation
of chemical force to electrical energy. with
out any very distinct or intelligent ideas on
the subject, it is rather gratifying to have it
explained to us that electricity is the me-
chanical expression of chemical affinity"
That is the doctrine laid down by writer in
recent number of the Electrical Review,
and, fortunately for him, there is nobody in
position to controvert it. He says that 400
cubic feet of air, at a temperature Of lO3 deg.
Fair enheit, will Contain one pound of water
vapor, the force in which is equal to the
work Of lifting 1882 tons through dis
lance of one foot. This accounts for the ire
mendous display of energy witnessed in q
thunder storm, and gives basis for calcu-
lating the capacity of well-deve1oped cy-
clone.

which comes from Washington of the aged
historian. GEORGE BANCROFT, being the vic
tim of the misguided zeal Of those whose
duty it is to take care of him in his old age.
He is virtually prisoner In his home, and
wholly excluded from social enjoyments.

but his physician says that he is in good
bodily health, and stands good chance 10
see the century out Ills mind is as sound as
his body, but neither, of course. has the
vig0r of years gone by. The members of his
household imagine, however, that 1t is their
duty to stand between him and all callers.
He is not permitted to go out of doors, and
visitors are not allowed to see him. And to
make his condition still more miserable. he Is
daily reminded of his advanced age by his
manservant, who puts tablet before him
each morning showing the number Of his
years, his months and mis- days
