1t is not an extraVaganI statement TO say that

that The most imaginative OF inventors
are unable 10 foresee what form their
development will take. Just as expert
mentors were beginning TO tblDk tnat the knew

that further Improvement must be In the hue

and halOs OF splintefed light.
The widest dream of the inventor could not

Tesla says that he Will soon be able 10 wrap
himself in complete sheet of electric fire that

Equally astounding and with more visible

can be transmitted without the use OF wires. a
room can be filled with electricity from copper
plates in ceiling and floor, so that electric lamps
will burn without any connecting wire as soon
as they are brought ID. In he same way intel

A quarter of a century ago, when
Wendell Phillips, Beecher, John B.-Gough
and men of that stamp were still in their
prime, they could fill the largest halls,
even with a circus in opposition, and they
aud their managers made money. The
success of such lecturers led many men
whose abilities were not commensurate
with their vanity and ambition to enter
the field. who. through their vapid
mediocrity, brought the name lecture into
disreDute. particularly in the large cities,
where people in search of amusement can
find every variety.
Educational and literary societies still
give winter courses of lectures in cities
like New York. Philadelphia and Boston.
but it is the subject treated rather than the
ability of the lecturer that draws. Out
side of these lecture courses the people
can be drawn to hear a platform speaker
by one or two motives. First. TO see a
man whose life in other fields has been
famous or notorious, or to hear man
whom the world recognizes as a great
hgmorist. like Mark Twain, or a great
orator like Colonel IngeTsoll.
John b. Cough was an actor rather than
an orator. He was one of the most super
fetal of men Intellectually, yet he could
tell a story and act it, in way that would
have given him equal lame as a comedian
and by the energy Of his defamation, and
an enthusiasm with which he had power to
fill his audiences. he could work them up
TO the highest pitch of excitement, or move
them to tears. We're another like him to
appear, be could achieve an even greater
success, for that great cburch-gOing con-
stituency who regard the theater as
wicked are not avPrSe to acting like
Gnugh's, that Is staged in the garb of pro-
pristy and with the name OF a high pur-
pose behind it.

One of the most lucrative fields Tor the
accomplished lecturer is the I Dung Mems
Christian Associations. These are well
organized. AS rule they are well housed,
they give intelligent audiences, and they
pay good prices for good work. though uo-
fortunately they do not permit latitude
of treatment that makes them familiar
with the very ablest men.
The drawbacks to taking up public lee
turing a profession, even where one mas
the ability and the story to tell, Is the fact
that to win immediately on the platform
one must have achieved distinction IN
another and often an entirely dlf-
ferent field. The lecturers like Stod-
dard, who depend as much on
the beauty Of their lantern pictures as on
what they have to say or how they say .
are more closely allied to the Snowman
than to the teacher, though they certainly
afford an entirely harmless If not IN exhil-
arating form of entertainment.
Those who have won and are winning
should encourage men and women with
the proper gifts to study oratOry. Great
rewards await those who have story To
tell that will interest humanity and the
recitation of which will thrill the audience
and impress them with the honesty and in
tense earnestness of the speaker.

Beats on our lives with its sullen rain:
Then shall we heed when the sun OF hope
Hides where the clouds no longer opef
What will it matter when all is done,
Wall of the tempest or shine OF the sun?
Voices OF gladness or patter OF tears,
What will they count at the end OF the yearsT

Never the lonely who finds no friend;
Never q way but will upward tend
