toned, that electricity, electrical action
or whatever We may call it, has its seat
in the atoms or molecules of matter or
of tne hypothetical matter, ether, we
are brought face to face with the same
conditions that confront the cosmical
philosopher. As the latter can never
hope to have his material vision extend
to the bounds of the universe, neither
can the molecular physicist hope to ma
terially appreciate the ultimate elements
OF matter. Lord Kelvin has shown that

We may demonstrate the exact relation
between electricity and magnetism and
may satisfactorily connect these with !
other phenomena and even obtain a
working hypothesis that will answer all |
scientific needs. but the ultimate solu- |
tion may forever evade the human mind. |
Whatever We do learn, however, will |
not be through the sleculations of meta |
physicians G. the guesses of tyros, but |
through the physical investigations of |
Hcr;Zes and Teslas. While as a mental |
training metaphysical speculation may
have its use. the absolute lack of addi-

many centuries from Plato to Bacon,
when metaphysics held full sway. is con-

The Rose Hill English Folly company appeared at the Grand opera house last evening to crowded house.

All the pretty girls and funny men appear in the Arrival of the Fakirs," and the songs and dances caught on at once The va riety olo was one of the best that has been seen at this theater this year. The strong cards were Miss Clara Lawrence, lady cornetist, who gave varied selec- tions, Crawford and Manning, J. Her bert Mack, the Washburn sisters, Nor ton and EclShoff, and Frank Emerson. The performance closes with an amus- ing afterpiece entitled 'The Fakirs Daughter in which all the company take part. The costumes and scenery are gotten up regardless of expense, and some of the stage effects are very dazzling and brilliant. It is 8 great and entertaining show in every respect and delighted the audience, who fre- quently gave rousing demonstrations of applause. Two performances will be given to-day. viz, afternoon and evening, and all lovers of good bur- lesque show will be sure to be satisfied with the entertainment presented.
