The newspapers constantly keep the
wonders of electricity in the public

satisfactory answer to the simple ques.
tion, What is electricity9 Oae physicist
says electricity is form of energy
producing peculiar phenomena, and it
may be converted into other forms OF
energy, and all forms of energy may b,
converted into it. Other authoritie,
say electricity is form Of molecular
motion. All this is but as clear as
very thick mud. and so we must accept
the evasive reply of another authority
who says several theories have been
advanced, but none Of them are salts.

But some most interesting and amusing
electrical experiments followed. An
Englishman put on a pair of wooden
stockings over his silk ones on cold
winter day. At night he pulled the
stockings off Without separating them
and was astonisned by the cracking
noise and even the sparks of electricity
which followed. When he drew the
silk stockings out of the WOODEN ones
the electric attraction was so manifest
that the stockings would incline toward
one another when held more than foot
apart. 1t happened that the silk stock

light color, but when he tried the ex.

petroleum, compared with coal, is un-
doubtedly an influential consideration
against its use, eyeL where tile element
of safety Is not regarded as of prime inn
portance under such precautions as
might be taken. Tnis difference in cost,
however, becomes less noticeable in
small naval craft, particularly torpedo
boats, where the stock of fuel carried
and consumed Is not very great. AS an
offset, also, we have the unquestionable
fact that the petrU -uni will last longer
than the same quantity Of coal, so that
the radius Of action Of the vessel is in
