Tho Future of Electricity.

In the nearer foreground | see practi-
cal method for the production of electri J.
fv directly from the burning of coal. This
achieved there necessarily follows the uni
versal adoption of the electric motor as
prime mover, the rclegation of the steam
engine to the scrap heap and the almost
immediate realization of the airship as
means of transportation.
Assuming the cause of chemical afflnl-
ty to lie in the unlike electric charges OF
the combining atoms, l see the practical
realization of electric synthesis, whereby
wholesome food products will be directly
formed under the potency of electric afiin-
tiles. I see, too, marked advance IN
electro therapeutics, whereby human lie
will be prolonged and its sufferings allevi-
ated. Diagnosis and prognosis will be
profoundly aided by exact electrical meas
uremepts Of the various organs of the hui
man body as regards their electro motive
force and resistance. The electrotherapist
of the future will employ electric charges
and currents for restoring the normal
charges and currents of the body as well
Ms for the stimulation of nervous or mus
cular tissues.
Back Of these achievements / discern a
practical apparatus for seeing through a
wire---i. c., n device for looking into re-
cevcr at one end of metallic wire and

Mistaken Identity.

A story of mistaken identity is told in
All English novel as follows:
While Scott Of the Heavy Dragons and
also member of parliament was coming
out of his club one day he was stopped by
II gentleman with hearty salutation.
Scott thought he recognized him. and tax
ing his arm walked down toward the Par
lament House in the most friendly man
ner. They discussed mutual friends and
India and Paris and agreed to dine togeth-
or the next day.
At the foot OF the street they got into n
trifling dispute on recruiting in the army.
'.sYou thought differently at Malta,
though" said the gentleman.
'Malta!" roared Scott. 81 never was in
Malta in my life"
mot in Malta? Why. it was there we
knew each otherl''
Then abruptly stopping and looking up
in SCOTS face the man exclaimed, ''Never
saw you before.' and turning on his heel
vanished. Scott never saw him again and
never found out who he was or fer whom
he himself had been taken. He felt sure
while in his society that he knew him, but
could not remember his name.-Iouth S

scribed in letters Of pearl the initials "V.

and Albani are the only singers who have
been honored by passinga night under the

Windsor by the queens command, the
artists are brought down by special train,
which takes them back to London on the
same night. When Calve sang there, she
was requested to remain over night, and
the Princess Beatrice went so far as to
loan her pair of royal bed slippers. Some
one asked Mime. Calve how she accounted
for the distinction that had been shown.

INDUSTRIAL ARMY BILL.

introduced by Hon. John Davis on the Re-
quest of Annie L, DiggS.
A bill to provide for the enlistment and
maintenance Of an industrial army,
for issuing and maintaining a suffi.
oient and equitable volume Of cur
rsncy, and for other purposes.
Whereas the lack Of employment for a
vast number Of wcrkinRmen in this
country, caused by a contraction Of
modey and falling prices, is productive
OF untold distress and Of manifold de-
morslizstion; and
Whereas the problem Of the unem-
ployed is not new, but has been steadily
snlarging for many years, thus evidenoing
that the system oqprOtection Of American
lSborerS even when in fullest operation
has been inadequate; and
Whereas the prosperity Of the wealth
producers Of the nation has steadily de-
clined, Notwithstanding the marvellous
increase Of wealth and Of progress in the
methods Of production; and
Whereas the political economy and
the administration Of government have
neither kept pace with the development
Of the country nor secured just recon-
pense for labor; and
Whereas this problem Of the unem-
ployed not only appeals to the sympathy
and snlists the consideration of Ameri-
can citizens, but is also menace to the
peace, prosperity, and perpetuity Of the
republic; and
Whereas the wisdom Of our forefRthers
in the preamble Of the constitution OF
the United States made ample provision
in the phrase ito promote the general
welfare" for such enlarged govern
mental functions and progressive eco
nomic measures ss the growing needs and
the emergencies Of the country might

SIC. 2. That this army shall be en-

same rules and regulations az to phys.

and patriotic determination Ito legislats

creation Of substantial wealth, and for
Che safety aud perpstuity OF the repub-
lie, shall provide.
SEC 4. That in order to defray the
expenses Of the said industrial army, to
restore and maintain an adequate and
equitable volume OF currency, and TO en-
courage the employment Of labor by pri.
vate capital, through rising prices, the
secretary Of the treasury is hereby au.
thorized and directed
First-To issue 80 millions of dollars
OF legal tender United States notes to
replace the estimated destruction, waste
and losses of United States notes since
the passage OF the act Of May 81, 1873,
which provided that the volume OF legal
tender notes then outstanding should
not be diminished.
SsCond-To issue 160 millions Of dol
lars Of legal tender United States notes
to replace the national bank cur
currency which has been retired below
the maximum Of such currency formerly
outstanding. And it shall be the law
full duty Of the secretary Of the treasury
to issue legal tender United States notes
from time to time in sufficient volume to
take the place Of the circulating notes Of
national banks az the said bank cur.
renCy may hereafter be retired.
Third-To issue 100 millions of legal
tender United States notes annually here
after in order to create and preserve an
increasing and equitable volume Of cur
renCy in accordance with the needs Of
the increasing population and volume Of
business Of this country.
Sec. 5. That the United States notes
herein authorized shall be executed in
the usual high style Of art on distinctive
paper, in denominations Of from 81 to
$1,000, and said notes shall be lawful
money of the United States, receivable
in the revenues Of the government, and
legal tender for all debts and taxes, ex-
cept in cases where it has been other
wise provided by positive contract prior
to the passage Of this act.
Sec. 6. That the amounts Of lawful
money herein authorized shall be Gov
