or Interest 10 Telephone Subscribers.

Wilmington to-day enjoys the dis
tlnclI"m "f paying less for it, telephone
service than amy other city Of its size
in the United States. and the credit is
entirely due to the Nrlnarvia Telephone
Company, who should have the hearty
support Of every user Of telephone.
1t is an assured fact that telephone sub
scribcrs would never have enjoyed as
cheap rate as they can now, were il
not for the enterprise Of the home com
pany. While the telephones were in
the hands Of Il single corporation it was
able to do about as it pleased in fixing
the rates and the public had to pay.
What was needed was competition.
Now that the Dclmarvia Telephone
Company has entered the field and
brought the cost of the telephone with
in reason, it should have the support Of
the entire public. No matter what re-
duction may be declared by the old
company LOW RATES, A HOME
COMPANY, and BEST POSSIBLE
SERVICE are sufficient to justify you
in contracting for Delmarvia phone.

Terrestrial Magnetism.

$3.50 ~ iStNNSiti.
How, upon the theory that the sun Is
the fountain of electric influences. is
terrestrial magnetism accounted for?
The sun being the great galvanic reser-
voir, pours its streams of light and heat
vertically upon the spice embracing AZ
degrees OF the earth's mid lie regions,
or 23la degrees each side of the eQua-
Tor, constituting the torrid zone.
Let the temperature of the other
zones vary as 1t may. the heat of the
torrid is always uniform. and always
excessive compared with either tho
temperate or the fIGgid zones. Thus the
torrid regions, by being more directly
under the influence of the suns rays,
become more deeply electrified than
either the temperate or the frlgld,
What is the consequence? The equa-
tor.al regions are positive or plus, while
the polar regions are comparatively
negative or minus.
There are two reasons for this. The
AZ degrees, or the 3266ia statute miles
OF the earth's surface, embrace be-
tween 2Sis degrees of north and 23ia
degrees of south latitude, constitute the
bulltiest pgrt of the globe, AMI even
If the remaining part, including the
nurun ana south temperate, ana tne
north AMI the south frigid zones, were
as directly exposed to the suns rays as
is the torrid. which suppositlon Is,
however, an impossiblity. the equator
in that case would still be plus and the
poles minus because the torrid zones
are the bulkiest and receive, the efore.
the greatest amount OF electric fluid.
But the principle reason Why the one
is p,us and the other minus, Is because
the one receives the rays of the sun
more vert cally than the other. Now
fer the application Of an infallible rule.
Tire equatorial regions being plus or
positive, and the poles beng minus or
negative. there is mutual attraction
OF the Plus or superabundant fluid OF

upon that immutable and universal
chemical principle that opposite polar
tiles, or a positive and negative always
attract, or THAI caloilo always seeks to
keep up an equilibrium, or to restore 1t
Wien disturbed.
So then there are actually two forces
operating upon the superabundant cleo
tricity or caloric Of the equAEor. And
what is the consequence of the con-
bined action Of those two forces? Why.
There VII be two strong currents nf
electricity rushing continually with
lightning speed, from the equator each
way. and these currents will, ii rnis
theory be true, run towards the point
OF greatest cold. north and south. in
stead OF the geographic pole.
Some, perhaps, might contend that II
the etitacns CT caloric constitute the di-
receive power which is exerted by some
agere over the needle Of the compass,
they must move spinally in order TO en-
ert that influence which is actually eX
erted
Such may confidently infer this from
the fsct that certain experiments have
been made watch would seem to prove
II. A shee. iron globe has been con.
structei, and so wound spirally from
the nOrtn 10 WE sOuln pore, WIN M
sulated copper wire, thatit would make
tie needle arrange itseM north and
south. whenever the galvanic current
was sent through the wire from one
poe to the other, by connecting the
wires at the two poles with The poles
OF the galvan.c battery.
But the inference tast such must be
the spiral course OF the electric cur
rent around the earth, by no means
follows from this experiment; for II
must lie recollectei that there are two
different currents, or two currents run
ming i'm opposite directions, the same
precisely as If from the equator to-
wards the poles of such a hollow sphere
two currents should be sent in opposite
directions from two galvanic batteries.
