AS far as the writer is able to uh'
lerstand the matter now, electricity
Is simply motion of the molecules OF
the different substances which are
the subjects Of electrical action, JUST
as heat, light. and sound are, and the
only difference between these forces
is the rate Of tho motion, The mo-
tion OF sound, as we all know, Is COM
paratively slow; that of heat ana
light are very rapid. That OF eiec'
tricity would appear to be somewhat
between the slow motion OF sOuhu
and the rapid motion Of those neat
waves whose motion is slowest. Anq
1t would appear that the Sonderful
adaptability which electricity shows
Tor every kind of work is due entirely
TO the position which its rate Of mo-
ton occupies in the scale Of the ener'
gies. 1t would also appear that the
reason this wonderful agent laid dor
manG for so many ages and is even
now only partially developed is, very
largely at any rate, because We have
no sense which responds to the par
tichlar periods Of vibration comprised
within the electrical range.
Heat currents would be far more
.flicient than electric currents if we
could make use OF them as We do OF
the latter; and, as before remarked,
The reason electricity is such a useful
agent appears to be because its rate
Of vibration is sufficiently high to ad.

sufficiently so to be destructive. 1t

Mhittier,s

In the town Of Hayerhill, Mass, near
the Merrimat River, not far from Sui
isbury Beach, and in a house built by
his great-grandfather more than two
centuries ago, John Greenleaf Whittier
was born on December IT, 1907. For
three generations before him, the fam
lily had been connected with the Society
Of Friends; and all his life long Whit
tier retained the Quaker simplicity Of
manner and attire. He began early to
do the chores of the household, and
also to aid his father in the work Of the
farm.
The house was surrounded by woods,
and "a small brook, noisy enough as 1t
foamed, rippled and laughed down Its
rocky falls" by the garden-side, and
then wound Its way to q larger stream,
that, latter doing its duty at two or
three saw or grlst mills" 1.-THE clash Of
which would be heard in still days
across the intervening woodlands), ran
Into the great river and was borne
along to the great sea-. Thus, In early
boyhood Whittier had a chance to get
friendly and familiar with tho brooks
and woods and rocky hills and all the
other features of tue New England
landscape. He helped to care for the
oxen and the horses, and he came to
know the wilder animals which also
lived on the farm.-St. Nicholas.

THE WATERMELON NET.
Convenient contrivanee for Carryii
Home the Massive Fruit.

Convenient Contrivance for Carrying
Home the Massive Fruit.
The invention Of the watermelon mel
was due primarily to n change In the
shape of watermelons. Years ago the
great majority of watermelons were
much longer than they were thick. Then
when q man carried home the water
melon which he had bought the dealer
took a turn around one end OF 1t with O
stout cord, carried the cord along to tins
other end, and took another turn there,
and the connecting length Of cord be,
tween the loops served as a handle
while the shape Of the melon Kept the
loops from slipping off. But with the
change of the melon to the shorter
chubbier shape now prevailing this plan
was no longer possible, and SO the mel
came in six or eight years ago.
The watermelon nets r made or q
lutte Irvine called melon twine- Ihey
are of one size. They are big enough
for any melon, and with f small melon
in a net 1t is easy to take up the SLACK
they are made altogether by hand, a.
odd times, by people accustomed to mel
making. They are sold at wholesale al
81 a hundred. The melon dealer used
to charge five cents for a net, but nov
most dealers give the nets away.
Notwithstanding their bulk, many
melons are carried home by the pur'
chaser. The suburban resident may
spot a particularly fine melon and a k
1t right along with him In a net; a maj
in the city may do the same thing
Whatever the circumstances under
which a man wants to take a melon
with him, the net is a great conven'
lence; it beats carrying the watermelon
under the arm out Of sight
But while many melons are thus car
ried in the course of the season, still
the great majority of watermelons ars
sent home just like other things, and sc
after all the sale of watermelon nets
amounts to only a few thousand an
nually.-New York Sun.
