What Is Electricity?

Mr. s. F. Walker answers this question
as follows in an electrical journal;
AS far as the writer is able TO under
stand the matter now, electricity is simply
the motion Of the molecules Of the differ
ent substances which are the subjects of
electrical action, just rs heat, light and
sound are, and the only difference between
these forces is the rate Of the motion. The
motion Of sound, rs we all know, is com
paratiyely slow. That Of heat and light is
very rapid. That of electricity would ap-
pear to be somewhere between the slow mo-
ton of sound md rapid motion Of the heat
waves, whose motion is slowest-that IL,
slower than that Of light.
And it would appear that the wonder
full adaptability which electricity shows for
every kind Of work is due entirely to the
position which its rate OK motion occupies
in the scale Of the energies. II would also
appear that the reason this wonderful agent
lay dormant for so many ages and IS even
now only partially developed, is very large
Is. at any rate, because we have no sense
which responds to the particular periods OF
vibration comprised within the electric
range"

THE uFRMIT's CAVE.

In a recent issue of Meehan's Monthly we
are told that among the chief of Wissa-
hickon's charms is the singular beauty OF
the stratincation Of the gneiss rock. In
many cases large blocks have fallen out, y
as to give the rocks a cavelike appearance.
This only occurs where there is a peculiar
twisting In the formation. OF course caves
to any great extent only exist in limestone
regions. The action of strong acid wears
away the limestone, and in this way miles
of subterranean passage ways are formed
by the dissolving OF rocks.
However, as inthe case illustrated, hol-
lows or caves Of considerable size occur on
the Wissahickon. The one illustrated Is Of
considerable depth and is known as the
Hermit's cave. It is said that a famous
astronomer Of very eccentric habits many
years AGO made his home there. The figure
standing at the mouth Of the cave repre-
sents one of the arctic explorers who was
on the relief expedition in the interest OF
Lieutenant Peary. The crt here presented
is reproduced from the paper quoted.

GOOD BREEDING.
Simplicity and the Want oGIt-The Essence
OF Vulgsrity.

Simplicity and tho Want ofIt-The Essence
of Vulgarity.
The essence Of good breeding is simplicity
not the simplicity Of the peasant, although
that is good in its way, but the simplicity
Of the really civilized man who has arrived
at a kind Of artificial naturalness. The nat
ural man has been fifty described as "a
noisy. sensual savage" Civilization teaches
him to be quiet, to mind his own business
TO refrain from offending or disgusting his
peighbors, 10 respect himself, TO stand on
his own basis
Now. If the essence Of good breeding is
simplicity, il may be said that thee essence
OF vulgarity is a want Of simplicity. To be
vulgar IS 70 be unquict, 10 have no taste OF
ones own, 70 be in continual disturbance
Oh account Of ones neighbor either by way
Of trucking to him, which is the manner
Of the snob. or Of hating him, which Is the
vice of the radical, or Of competing with
him, which Is the weakness of the psrvenu.
To be vulgar il TO adopt other peoples Ian
euage. to use their cant phrases, to copy
the infections Of their voices, to spouse
their ideas-in fine, TO think and do n
say not what comes naturally to one, bus
what is supposed to be considered proper
by other people. Thus TO be vulgar isto
lack simplicity. says a writer IN Inc Az
lantic Monthly.

Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence.1
CHICAGO, Aug. est IL expected that
Colonel y. ID. Grant and his family will
leave this city for New York in a few days.
During their stay here since returning from
Vienna they have been the recipients of
most flatterisg attentions. Many acquaint-
anceships of other days have been renewed,
not tho least interesting among them being
with Americans who first knew Colonel
Grant through his courtesies to them while
they were abroad and he was serving as
United States minister to Austria.
Colonel Grant was especially h~ospitable
to his fellow countrymen during his in
cumbency Of this Office. While it cannot
be said that he entertained lavishly, for his
income az a United States minister would
not allow Of that, he made it q point TO
bring Americans together at the legation
as often as possible, and many who had
lived in Vienna for years without knowing
Of one another's existence met for the first
time in the charming apartments occupied
by the legation during his term Of Office.
This rendered him especially popular with
the members OF the American colony, and
this popularity was fully shared by Mrs.
Grant. who was Il Miss Honorc before mar
riage and is the sister Of Mrs. Potter Palmer
of the board Of lady managers Of the
Worlds fair.
4 gentleman who was present at some Of
the gatherings ut the legation in Vienna
while Colonel Grant was minister told
me yesterday that they were models OF
their kind. Both Colonel and Mrs. Grant
displayed the finest tact in the performance
Of their duties % host and hostess. Colonel
Grant also WOO golden opinions from very
many travelling Americans by reason Of his
efforts TO help them both socially and in a
business way whenever called upon.

POSTAGE STAMPS.
From tho Date Of Their Introduction Up
to the Present Time.

TO the Present Time.
Postage stamps In the form OF stamped
envelopes were first used by NJ. de Velayer,
who owned a private post in the city OF
Paris In the reign OF Louis XIV. over a
century later, In 1853. NJ. de Chamouset,
also the proprietor of a post, issued printed
postage slips 20 be attached 70 letters. In
Spain In 1910 aud In Italy also, stamped
covers for mail matter were tried, but IL
was not until 1910 that stamps, as we know
them now, were put in use. This was IN
England, the government adopting the sys-
TEN devised by Rowland Hill. Brazil was
the first country TO take up tho new inven-
ton.
Russia adopted the postage stamp next,
in lS45; then Switzerland In 1876, and
March 3, ISf7, the congress OF the united
States authorized the issue Of postage
stamps. These were at first a ; cent stamp
and "a 10 cent stamp. The reduction OF
rates in 1851 gave a new set Of stamps, val
ned at L. and ~ cents respectively. Other
stamps Of different values were added from
time 10 time to meet the exigencies OF postal
arrangements. reduction OF postage to for
cigp countries, etc.
Before 1919 the pOstal rates VI iS''cAS 81
the United States varied from g cents Tor
carrying a distance Of 30 miles TO - cents
for over 400 miles. BY the reduction OF
that year the postage was made 5 cents for
200 miles or less and 10 cents for any dis
lance above that. in 1881 the rate was
fixed at 3 cents for. every half ounce for
1900 miles and 6 cent? for any greater dis
tanco within the United States. In l0S3
the postage was reduced 10 2 cents for halt
an ounce for letters sent less than 3,OOO
miles, and IN 1885 to 2 cents an ounce.

The goSsamer or spider silk is useful 10
the owner in various ways. 1t may be a
rope TO swing by when the spider wishes to
drop from a great height without hurting
itself. One can build n flying bridge" OF
it. and another can alnost ~''hy"-that is,
be so buoyed up in the air and waited along
by the breeze that IL seems to fly. Astron-
omers have found 1t useful, too, forit takes
the place Of a wire in some of their most
delicate observations, where even the finest
wire would be too course.
The cross spider Is so called on account
OF the white cross on rs body. The name
has nothing TO do with its disposition.
There Is q spider that spins a web under
water, but this Is for a nest and not for a
net in which TO catch other insects. as are
most SPIDERS webs. The nest Is made on the
principle of a diving bell, and in order to
get air for its home the spider carries down
a bubble at a time and sets its free beneath
the bell. Other spiders live in holes in the
ground and make clever little trapdoors
over their nests.

TIE LATEST PORTRAIT OF COLONEL FRED
GRANT.

hhaAaHAH
Colonel Grants popularity was not by
any means confined to the Americans in
Vienna. He became well and favorably
known in official and diplomatic circles,
and between him and the Emperor Francis
Joseph "A frank and cordial friendship eX-
listed. AS an evidence Of this friendship
the Emperor caused his photograph, framed
in silver and signed by himself, to be pre-
scented to Colonel Grant after he had ceased
TO be minister. This photograph was ac-
~companied by the following letter from the
imperial and royal minister of foreign al
fairs:
The Hon. Mr.. Frederick d. Grant, from Count
Kalnoky:
DEAR Mr.. GPANT-I have, by order OF the
emperor, tho pleasure 10 transmit TO you his
majesty's photograph, which lac has expressly
signed for you as a s~ouyenir Of your long and
successful stay at the Imperial court.
We all much regret your and Mrs. Grants
departure and hope you will keep Vienna in
kind remembrance.
Believe me, dear Mr.. Grant, most trulyyours,
KALNoKY.
Besides this mark ofthe emperor's person
al esteem, Colonel Grant was invited shortly
after he ceased to be minister to dine with
the emperor and the Prince Of Montenegro,
q courtesy which was quite unprecedented.
The popularity OF tie Grants with the
American colony was given tangible form
by the presentation Of "a gold fruit dish TO
Mrs. Grant by member Of the colony who
were present at a banquet given TO the
colonel just prior to the family's departure
from Vienna.
Colonel Grant has not yet made known
to his friends how long lie will remain in
the east when he leaves here. All Of the
family of the late General Grant will be in
the vicinity Of New York when Colonel
Grant arrives there, and th~ey-eXcepting
Jesse, who lives in California-will Of
course devote much time to M another.
The widow Of General Grant and her
daughter, Nellie Grant Sartoris, and her
children are together at West Point, where
Mrs. Grant has been during most of the
summer. Ulysses S. Grant and his family
are at the Westchester county N. " farm.
The c~olonel's resemblance TO his father is
becoming more marked every year, espe-
cially when his face is observed from the
side. The accompanying portrait Is from
u photograph taken just before he left vi
emma and Is his latest. NJ. |. DEXTER.

Percussion Of the Uranium, Just az Is
done for the chest 20 ascertain whether
there Is Il apparent material lesion, is
recommended by N. Doutdouh Of Moscow
for headache. The percussion must be
made lightly, says ths European edition Of
the New York Herald, and without produc-
ing any disagresable sensation, but increas-
ing gradually the intensity Of the taps. In
this way a sort of vibratory massage is adj
ministrated which remove the distressing
symptom. 1t is evident that this relief can
only be momentary and that the cause
must be discovered IN order to be sure TO
cure the headache. The same means is eff
cacious In muscular pain in nervous, Inn
questionable people. 1t is at any rate easy
to try, and, according to the old saying,
can't do any harm, even IL it don't cure.
This method of treatment has succeeded in
DIR. Doutdouki's hands whenever there was
no material cause for headache.
