lie heard himself exalted. Governor Long wns bright
and witty, and Oliver Wendell Holmes sent the fol.
loving poem entitled THE Living Dynamo:
Night after night the incondescnt
Has fought its dazzling battle with the dark,
Our Doubtful paths with purcst illumed
Untircd. undlmmcd. answering. unconsumed.
A slender wire the living light conveys
That sartles midnight with Its MONDAY blaze
Through that channel streams the giant force
That whlrls the wheels along their canking course,
When. like u mail clad monster DER the plain
with clash and clamor the broomstck train.
III
Whence gains the wondrous IT. twofold dover.
Us double heritage Of light and powerl
Ask ~ the understandable ought 10 know
And ho VIII III ''from the dvnamon
And what again the DYNAMO inspires
"a mighty engine. urged by quckcning fires"
"
When behed that large untlrlng brain
Which seventy winters have asSailcd I'm vain
