Portable Electric Light,

At the meeting of the American In.
stltute Of electrical Engineers Mr.. Tesla
employed a machine having 400 poles,
which when run at full speed enabled
him to obtain 10000 alterations
per second. He believes that electro
magnetic waves cannot produce lumin-
Gus effects unless they have the fire.
quency OF true light waves; but this is
not the case with electro-static waves
or thrusts, as these can excite lumin-
Gus radiation, no matter what their
frequency may be. He made many ex-
periments with Geissler tubes, and
also with lamps, in which only one
terminal was used.
The flament consisted of q single
rod which was in a striking
vacuum. Tho energy was transferred
entirely by condenser action through
the coatings in the base of the lamp.
He also showed how exhausted tubes
could be made to glow in an electro.
static field, so that if such tubes were
merely hung up in q room in which
such a field was produced, they would
be lighted up, and could be moved
about at will. These experiments
created the most intense interest, and
point to methods Of producing light
which may be used in the future

OF the kings or England one night in
disguise walking the streets Of Lon
don, and not giving account of him
self, was arrested and put in a mis-
cradle prison. When released and
getting back to the palace, he ordered
80 tons OF coal and a large supply Of
food for the night prisoners of Lon
don. Out OF his own experience that
night he did this. And our Lord the
king aforetime endungeoned and slain,
out of his own experience is ready to
help all, and comfort all, and rescue
all.
Oh! join him in the plain. AS long
as you stay up in the mountain OF
your pride you will get no help. That
is the reason so many never find the
salvation OF the Gospel. They sit
high up in the Mont Blanc of their
opinionativeness, and they have their
opinion about God, and their opinion
about the soul, and their opinion
about eternity. Have you any idea
that your opinion will:have any effect
upon the two tremendous facts, that
you are a sinner, and that Christ is
ready at your earnest prayer to save
you? In the final day OF accounts how
much will your opinion be worth?
Your opinion will not be of much i'm
portance before the blast of the arch
angels trumpet. When the life of this
planet shall be threshed out with the
fail OF thunderbolts nobody will ask
about your opinions. Come down
out OF the mountain OF opinionative-
ness, and meet Christ on the plain,
where you must meet him or never
meet Him at all, except as you meet
Him on the Judgment throne.
