AT OBRlEN'S.

"The Private Secretary" made his APP
pearance at O'Brien's last night after a
long absence and proved as droll and
comical as ever.
Harry Dull, in the title roll. is by no
means what his name indicates. His is a
difficult role, but he proved equal to the
emergency and his quaint sayings evoked
rounds of laughter and applause.
Frank Cotton, as the eccentric CATER
mole. was all that could be desired.
Edwin Travers was as interesting as ever
and the others in the cast were decidedly
clever. ~

Dr. jacques has now effectually an

story of the invention He proves that
the phenomenon exhibited, / e., the
generation of the current, was not due
to thermO-electric action, but to the
chemical combination of oxygen with
carbon to form carbonic acid. He also
demonstrates that under proper condi-
tionS the electrical energy obtainable
from one Of the generators is substan-
TALLY equal to the potential energy of
the weight of carbon consumed with the
pot. The invention is not yet by any
means perfected. AS compared with
modern steam engines. only relatively
small carbon electric generators have as
vet been built: and with this generator.
