ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY.
The Expermen Suggested by Franklin and
Performed by DAlibard.

To Benjamin Franklin belongs the
merit of having perceived that direct
experiment was needed to prove what
so far was only guess. In an article
entitled "Opinions and ConJectures
Concerning the Properties and Effects
of the Electrical Matter Arising From
Experiments and Observations Made at
Philadelphia, 1749," the following pas
sage occurs
$50 determine the question whether
the clouds that contain lightning are
electrified or not, would propose an
experiment to be tried, where it can be
done conveniently. On the top of some
high tower or steeple place kind OF
sentry box, big enough to contain man
and an electrical stand. From the mid
die of the stand let an iron rod rise and
pass, bending out Of the door, and then
upright 30 feet or 30 feet, pointed very
sharp at the end. If the electrical stand
be kept clean and dry, man standing
ON it when such clouds are passing
low might be electrified and afford
sparks, the rod drawing fire to him
from cloud.
eff any danger to the man should be
apprehended, though / think there
would be none, let him stand on the
floor of his box, and now and then
bring near to the rod the loop of wire
that has one end fastened to the leads,
he holding it by wax handle, so the
sparks, if the rod be electrified, will
strike from the rod to the wire and not
affect him."
The experiment suggested by Frank
lin was successfully performed in Marty,
France, by D'Alibard, on May 10, 1862
| in London by Canton, in Spital Square,
ON July 90, 1862, and by Wilson in
| Chelmsford, Essex, ON Aug. IL OF the
| same year. Franklin himself described
having used kite in Philadelphia in a
letter dated Oct 10, without giving the
date of his observations. But this must
be supplied in some passage which
have not been able to find, for Rosen'
berger ("Geschichte der Physik. vol
ume 2, page 316) mentioned that it was
| done in June
Franklin's disbelief in the dangerous
character of the experiment must have
received severe shock when he heard
of the death of G. w. Richmann, who
in the year 1853, was killed by an cleo
trio discharge drawn from the clouds
by means of a kite. -Nature.

1t is difficult for some people to realize
how the United States has grown and to
understand that the government machin-
cry, which was adequate 30 years ago, is
now insufficient properly to care for the

it is worth while to inquire how the gov
eminent of Great Britain has been special
lied into a great number of departments.

of the Departments.
WASHINGTON. Feb. IL Special. There
is great pressure for an increase of the
number of departments into which the
business of our government is divided. The
chances are that before the expiration of
President McKinlcy's term there will be
nine cabinet offices instead of eight There
may even be ten. The propositions most
in favor are to create department of COM
merce and department of science. To the
former could be assigned such bureaus as
the public buildings, the lighthouses, the
life saving service, the marine hospitals,
navigation affairs, immigration, steamboat
inspection, the patent office railway sta
tistics, general statistics.
A department of science could have
charge of such important branches of the
government service as the coast and geo.
detic survey, the geological survey, the
scientific work of the agricultural depart
ment, including forestry, botany, agrostol-
ogy, pomology, chemistry, ETC., the ma
tional observatory and many minor bu-
reaus of a scientific nature. In all there
are 20 scientific bureaus of our govern
ment costing $S,000,000 year, employ
ing more than ZOO persons. 1t is argued,
and reasonably too, that all this important
work could be better organized and better
results be achieved if all were brought I'M
der one head.

The first attempt to organize n Presbyte-
rian church in Brunswick was made by
the Roy c. b. King. of Savannah, under
the orders of what was then the presbytery
of Georgia. The meeting was held on
January %, 1867, in the old city hall then
standing in Hanover park, ana fifteen per
sons gave their names as those DESTROYS
of organizing a Presbyterian church. AT
ter some general instruction from Rev
Mr.. King, Mr.. n. Goulding Stacy was
elected an elder and duly ordained and
installed to that office. During the sue
ceeding six months eight persons connect
ed themselves with this church, but, GA

organiza ton was discontinued some time
during tho year 1865.

people are congregated in town or country

has had a resident pastor ever since Dur
ing all these years. through the vicissi-
tubes incident to our history. the church
has preserved an unhroken organizatio

st. Jude.s EniscnnnI chnr.h.


ST. Jude's was the outcome OF Il consul
tation in the fall of 1883 between the Rev
Mr. Dodge of st. Simon's, and the rectors
and vestry of st. Marks church.
The town had then a large and rapidly
increasing population. with only one small
house of worship. Attending but insufficient
opportunities for church attendance; it
was determined to build the new church
where ii was most needed.
In the winter of 1883 the Rev. Mr.. Dodge
built the church. without even asking finan-
cial assistance of the people. and the Rev.
Mr.. VIM, then working en- the island
was asked to take charge, e3tim tting that
IN eleven years there should be good
congregation.
The church was opened for divine ser
wee the 2Sd of June, 1882 and from that
time to the present it has only once been
closed for two consecutive Sundays, when
the priest in charge was i'll in Atlanta.
In January. 1890. the church was conse-
Grated by Bishop Beckwith assisted by
Rev. Messrs Lucas and VIM.
In January 1891. the late and deeply
Iamented Rev. Robert s. Barrett held a
weeks mission" in ST. Jude's, which re-
suited in much good to the whole COM
nunity. Mr.. Barrett who was accounted
the most attractive preacher in the south.

MIR. Barrett was nobly assisted in the
daily early communons by one of the saints
Of God, the late Rev. II. X. Rees, whose
earnest piety graced cultivated mind and
v hose sympathetic heart and sweet CHEEKY
manners brought sunshine into every house
lie entered.
The people of st. Jude's can never forget
these devoted men. nor the work they die
in Brunswick.
The work of st. Jude's church has beer
as largely educational as missionary. The
sunday school taught the children rever
ence. unselfishness and devotion to the
church.
For the last six years the Parochial
s1hcol has been an institution in New
Town. There are scores of well taught
children in Brul sWick who owe all thei.
schooling to ST. Jpde's, tiearly one-tifth OF
them having been taught free of charge
This most practical good work has beer
