LABOR COMPREHENSIVE.
BY Henry Demat5st Lloyd.

Considering the great interest now taken
in questions Of sociology, this book is sure
to prove valuable addition to literature
on this subject. 1t does not recitc theory,

essays on the subject of cooperation so
far as 1t refers to workingmen who are
owners as we'll as wage-earners in their
establishments. Cooperation in Great
Britain has won first place among the
social movements of the century. and Mr.
Lloyd has studied on the ground the
newest and most advanced phases Of its
development.

x PEAKING more from personal ex-
1 perience than from history, 1t may be
~ safely said that, to us of the laity,
\ 1.-THE fact of the passage of a current
~ of electric fluid through a circuit of
conducting wire seems too simple
and too easily understood to create sur
prise or inquiry into the mysterious char
acter of the fluid. The going out of such
a circuit through miles of conducting
wire and its return through the earth to
complete the circuit. although proved
fact, seems incredible, because it is not
easily comprehended.
The passage of such a circuit for miles
through the atmosphere-through the
hypothetical ether If you choose-with-
out a wire or other conducting medium
and its deInonstrable return to complete
the circuit, becomes fact astounding in
its incomprehensibility. The added fact
that 1t is not a fuid-nothing physically
appreciable-that passes, but simply a
self-projected energy known only by its
effects, taken together with a knowledge
of the uses to which that energy has
been put, completes the concept of an in
scrutable mystery. What wonder, then,
that consideration of the astonishing ad-
vances in our knowledge of the proper
ties and uses of electricity, without the
slightest approach to a knowledge of
what electricity is, should suggest the
