Cooking by Electricity.

Cooking by electricity has been grad
ually developed after pcrscvering ex-
periments, and has now become well
established. Seldom has useful
branch of trade been started under
such ridicule. Not the necessary kit
hen boiler, but the frivolous drawing
room tea kettle; not the domestic
stove, but the lady's curling-tonSs. have
engaged the main attention of clever
electricians. There is Il good deal more
in the design of these appliances than
at first sight appears. The selection of
the best kind Of enamel and suitable
alloy from which to draw the WIRE
have been carefully studied, and no
wonder they are kept secret. Unlike
electric lighting, for which wrctchcd
wooden poles. bad wire and cheap
switches were at first used, While the
supply of current WAS costly, the diff
| Guilty in electric cooking has been the
high price of the utensils. though the
cost Of the current is small enough.
The result is that electric cooking has
been been hitherto an expensive lux
ury. The cost of this process however,
| is rapidly being so reduced as to bring
it within reach of the general public
The ovens used are similar to the gas
| olinc or oil stove oven. but are more
compact and do not throw out nearly
| the amount of heat. In fact. Il pot of
| flowers can be placed on an oven in
which a joint is being roasted without
| the slightest damage. The time rcquir-
ed for cooking most articles of food
! is about the same length rs that by
coal or gasoline; but the current has
| only to be turned on for Il certain pc
Rod. and the heat accumulated will
then complete the work. 1t is the
short time required for the turning on
| of the current which constitutes one of
! the principal elements in the economy
| of the process The heat in the ovens
and other close covered articles is in
| tense. and can be felt for OYER two
hours after the current has been turn
ed off.

The Electric Light as an Evil Spirit.

The old adage which implies, by a
graphic smile, the necessity Of tenn
porizing when dealing with the arch
enemy of mankind, is brought to mind
by an experience through which the
telegraph officials of the Bolivian GOV
eminent have passed while doing pio-
neer work in South America. A tele-
phone line had been laid down by the
government between Lapas and Tit
caca. forty-five miles apart. but the
Indians got the idea that the much
sounding talk Of the white man that
could be heard thus far would disturb
the long sleep Of their ancestors, and
bring down the anger Of their dead
chiefs upon the tribe. At first they
stole the wire and used the poles as
firewood. These We're replaced but
still the destruction continued At last
the whole line was ruthlessly torn
down, and the government was COM
PEELED to abandon it. The Indians next
turned their attention to the electric
light plant which was being installed
in Lapas, and awaited their opportun-
ity Of destroying or circumventing its
equally baleful influence. The plant
was preserved by ingeniously working
on the very superstitions which induced
the hostility Of the natives. After the
plant had been in operation for few
nights, it happened that there was an
eclipse Of the moon. The Indians be-
lieved that the electric light was alb
sorbing or swallowing the moon. and
gathering in body at one quarter of
the town, moved upon the plant to de-
stroy it. 1t was saved only by the
Intervention of a large body of troops
The government the next day selected
several representative Indians, led
them to the power house, shocked them
severely, then took them out along the
line and shocked them again with the
wires. After this they informed them
that they had better leave it alone.
The Indians We're convinced that they
could not fight against IN enemy that
