The latter fact Is one OF the most 'aiu-

coverles. Not. as previously stated that
the world has not long known the ao-
stract difference between the positive ana
negative poles Of a current. but the mat

surrounded by mystery. Now IL is as
clear as day. Not only Is the dinerence

VAS TAKEN BY LORD ARMSTRONG.
Perhaps. however. the most important
feature Of the whole truth outlined by
these photographs Of electricity Is found
I'm the shattering OF the theory that cleo
tricity is a fluid. For nearly three CEN
turtles, or since the time when Gllber. Of
Colchester gave electricity a name. and
made il a science. II has theoretically
been considered a fluid Who has not
read how Benjamin Franklin, with his
kite. succeeded in harnessing the electric
fluid" as If IL was an everyday affair
to harness fluids. Now II is shown that
this was all wrong, and that Franklin.
instead OF Harvesting fluid, discovered
the true method OF directing the electric
current so that il could be made Of the
greatest use TO man.
~ a matter of fact. there has been no
greater boon to electrical science in the
matter o. making plain the actual source
and action Of electricity since the men,
orable day in 1729 when Gray and Wehler
transmitted electricity from one point TO
another, and laugh. the world how to
distinguish electric bodies as conductors
and non-conductors.
1t opens the way TO a vast field Of re-
search that has hitherto been blind
path. Ii upsets theories which are CEN
turtles old. 1t may entirely reyolutionize
the present methods Of controlling cleo
triclty. for electrical experts are to-day
engaged in studying the truths made
plain by these photographs. in the belief
that by study and comparison they may
be enabled TO accomplish wonders, be-
side which the achievements Of Edison,
Roentgen, and Tesla will almost seem
child's play.
Lord Armstrong states that he Will
proceed further with his Photographic in
vestigation. and will now endeavor 10
picture electricity in its different forms
and,i as many detailed fashions as pos
sibe. In brief. he viii seek to make
plain TO the eye the famous principle OF
science that bodies electrified either posi-
lively or negatively attract neutral bodies
and bodies affected with an electricity or
an opposite name 10 their own. but repel
those affected with electricity Of the same
name And. greatest Of all, he hopes 10
show so plainly that a child may see ana
appreciate Just how electricity Is COM
nunicated from one human body 70 an
other by contact.

THIS ASTONISHING PHOTOGRAPH
have just been made public. English
savants hold that since the day amber
was discovered TO be the parent Of So
called artificial electricity. nothing has
been learned which promises to be so
great an aid in solving the problem OF
the origin and composition of electricity.
In the first place. Lord Armstrong con-
clusively proves th2t We can no longer
IN truth speak OF the electric fluid. There
is no such thing. Electricity is nothing
but a purely vortex movement, just such
a movement as we see whea We watch
the rings OF smoke that laziy drift from
the mouth OF the smoker 4 vortex
movement means that the electricity, like
the smoke, moves over and over the cir
cuInference of the ring; that 1t is sucked
IT, b5 one face of the ring and shot out
by the other. The fact Is wonderful in
its simplicity. Like all the basic prin-
ciples Of science. the closer we get to
them the more simple we find they are.
And so it is with this one, which may
reyolutionize many theories established
centuriea ago.
Every electric current has two ends
the positive and the negative poles. OF
course, there is a difference between
them. Scientists knew that long ago.
The trouble has been that they have been
unable TO learn exactly what that diff
ference was. Now, however come Lord
Armstrong photographs. showing the
exact difference to the eye The first
of the reproductions of photographs taken
by Lord Armstrong, which accompany
this article, is 10 the lay mind the most
interesting. even IL TO science IT possesses
hardly SO great a value as that of the
others. Vt is the one with the black
spot in the centre, from which streams
OF light are seen radiating.
A camera and very powerful electric
machine were placed in a darkened room.
The camera contained a sensitive plate,
over which a light and fine powder had
been sifted. thus ensurlng the fact that
when the electricity was discharged the
dust upon the plate would be driven about
by the electric streams and the iignt
would at the same time affect the plate.
The electricity would thus give the luni-
mostly which would enable IL to be caught

ton. the time required for its imprint
being but the small fraction OF second.
Never did calculation prove more cor
rect. and the result is shown in tie plate

centre of the picture Is the metallic disc
which rested upon the Photographic pate

The now somewhat famous case OF

that they have been deprived Of their
pay, and are very anxious to get the
same, have retained the law firm of
Strout & Gage to proceed against w.
H. Mcclure, the contractor. A writ
has accordingly been served upon Mr..
Mcclure and the bill is returnable at
the December term of the superior
court Mr.. Mcclure has retained the
law firm Of Seiders & Chase to defend
his side. All but one of the plaintiffs
are colored men.-Portland Express.

Reed intends to give up his residence in

idle sort. But in order to satisfy the
curiosity aroused by a New York news
paper, the Portland correspondent ask
