The Popular Idea OF EIeotrloIty

The Popular Idea of Electricity
One of the chief ends OF popular
electrical education is to eliminate n
certain sort of credulity. The pop
ular idea OF electricity is to look up
on it as mysterious force, coming
from nowhere in particular, doing
very nearly what it pleases, and
equally able to produce a spark and
general disruption OF the universe.
There is a tendency on the part OF
certain people to contemplate it as
an African does his greegree, won
derful and ineffable something that
need only be invoked to produce al
most any result that can be named
This spirit has, perhaps, FASTENED
the march of electrical industries,
but it is certainly unworthy to en-
courage it. The sooner people are
brought to look upon electrical
power as only one OF the Protean
forms OF energy as subject to known
laws and quite transferable into
other kinds OF energy. the better tor
everybody concerned.
To be sure, we do not know what
electricity is; in fact, it is quite prob
able that it is not 4 separate entity
at all, but on the other hand we do
not know what the force called gravi-
tation H. Yet the actions OF both
under given conditions can be fore
told with considerable accuracy, and
perhaps We shonld not be able to do
much more with them ii nature
should yield up her profound secrets
and set the unquenrhable curiosity
/ Of man at rest. Look at electric en-
ergy as force obe,lient to certain
avs, known and unknown. able to
accomplish much in skilllul hands,
hut do not Imagine it rs ready to do

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
ALEXANDRIA, December "a, 1890.
Rev. |. NJ. Mercer, who for the past
four years has been pastor of the First
Baptist church here, has sent in his
resignation as pastor TO the church
deacons, who have called a meeting OF
the congregation to take action on the
matter tomorrow evening. During his
STAY here Mr.. Mercer has made many
warm friends, and his congregation arc
loath 10 part with him. He has accept
ed call to take charge of the West-End
Baptist church in Greensville, 5. g.,
and will leave for his new field OF work
in q short time 1t is not known who
will succeed MIR. Mercer here, but as the
church is large one it IS understood
that some gentlemen prominent in the
ranks OF the Baptist clergy will receive
the call.
CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
All the schools here, both public and
private, closed this afternoon for the
holidays and will resume work on Mon
day the 5th day of the new year. At
st. Johns Academy before closing this
afternoon the cadets presented their
teachers with handsome presents, as did
the upper grades of the white public
schools.
The streets have been thronged since
Friday last with shoppers from the
surrounding country and the old
town wears holiday air. Every small
boy in town is armed with fsh-horn
or trumpet and the air is filed with the
noise they make The few days before
Christmas are the days that set nervous
people wild here, for then the Mayor
allows the Alexandria urchin TO make ss
much noise as he pleases without being
stopped by the police.
MAKE HARD FIGHT.
An effort will be made in the next meet.
ing Of the City Council TO induce the city
fathers TO appropriate several thousand
dollars for street improvements in the
new northwest section OF the town and
some systematic plan OF street improve
ment will DO adopted Whether the con-
sentative and bang back members OF the
Council will allow the measure to 90
through remains 10 be seen, but the
progressive portion OF the Council will
make hard fight for it.
The banquet and reunion OF the old
studests OF St Johns Academy will take
place on the night OF the 30th instant
and will be attended by old students
from Richmond, Baltimore, Washing
ton. Alexandria. and other places. 1t is
expected that a large throng will be in
attendance. ExRAc.
