SPIRIT OF REVOLUTION.
Guatemala Flooded with Documents
to Arouse the People.
A Guatemala special saws

A Guatemala special says:
'Signs OF revolutionary activity here are
manifested in the circulation Of printed docu-
ments calling on the people to reflect upon
the fact that President Blrrios made himself
dictator, overthrowing the Legislature and
trampling on the constitution that Cutter
rez, the new president Of Salvador; Bonilla,
the president OF Hon luras, and Zelaya, the
president of Nicaragua, were not elected, but
gained power through civil war and by aiding
one another.
TT is noted that hardly anywhere in Cen

dents. hold the peopl down and enrich
themselves by employing their absolute pow
ar for selfish ends.

Eleotrio Quantity and Tension.

Electric quantity and tension-or In.

tion that electricity is a fluid. Guam.
tity Is the amount Of the fluid that q
body contains as Its charge and the ten
sion or intensity on any point Of Its sur.
face-insulated electricity lies on the
surface--is tho depth, or II the depth
remain the same the density of the fluid
at that point. The quantity has refer
ence to the number Of particles electri-
fed and the amount of force lodged in
each; the tension has reference simply
to the inductive force lodged In each
Particles that are highly electrified
must polarize powerfully the particles
near them, and If powerful enough
cause discharge. Tension or intensity,
therefore, Is the power to polarize and
effect discharge. The quantity Of elec.
tricity passing in current Is estimated
by tho power Of the current to defect
the magnetic needle by the chemical de-
composition 1t effects, or by tho temper
ature to which it raises wire of given
thickness and material. The tension or
intensity Of the current is the power
which it has to transmit current
against resistance, such as that offered
by bad, long or thin conductor. Ten
sion, strictly speaking, is not property
Of tho current, but of tho battery which
generates the current. .--.Brooklyn Eagle.
