Some of the Numerous Theories on the
Mysterious Current.
Well. what is it? 1t is scarcely pos
sible 70 say. There are theories-many
Of them. 1t is evidently something Of
which we cannot take part; we can
not cut piece of it of and subject it to
analysis, nor can we pour a little of it
into bottle for future study and con-
temptation. It is like the wind-its
effects can be measured, its force,
strength and quantity can now be cal
culated to very nice degree. Still, to
liken it to the wind, it is a stupendous
power, mghty typhoon, blowing, as
il were, without moving, two ways at
once along all parts Of its path, giving
off halo Of magnetism at right angles
TO that path everywhere.
One of the incest theories, perhaps, is
the one that considers electricitya con
dition' of atoms, brought about by
chemical action, rs in battery cell, or
by what might be called a severe irrita-
ton of the magnetic halo, as in dyna-
mo, and by other means, such as heat
and friction.
What this condition is is beyond as /;
it may be violent rotation, or it may
be an equally violent vibration Of
atomsl Probably the arc light would
prove it to be vibration. But as no
man has seen an atom at any time, not
even with the most powerful micro.
scope, it is impossible to say. Friction
in some form or other is present, rs
heat is produced before burning, or de-
strnction. takes place. Exchange

il is not agreeable TO be struck by

There is a sure preventive-as sure as

A pair Of rubbers has saved many life

he pulled through Ii it had not been
for the rubber boots, the current would
have passed entirely through him. As it
was the current could not get through
his boots, so il passed down the cable.
It might be well to add that pair Of

ON an old pair with a crack in the toe
because electricity will get ont Of a very
small hole when il is cornered, and a
pair of defective ruhbers will do you no
