Silver and Brass.

As the cleaning OF silver and Britain
MIA metal is necessary in every house
hold, every one will be glad To know
how to succeed in making silver look its
best. If very tarnished, first wash the
various articles in hot water. then dis
solve two tabespoonfuls OF powdered
alum i'm a quart of moderately strong
lye. Stir in gill of soft soap, and re-
move the scum as it rises. Sponge the
silver with the mixture. and let IL steep
for quarter of an hour. Now wash in
warm soapsuds, wipe dry and polish
with jewelers. rouge or whiting mixed
with methylated spirits instead of water
to the consistency of cream. BE careful
not To let the rouge or whiting remain
in the interstices of the pattern. 1t has
a bad effect on the silver. Every speck
should be rubbed off with soft brush

soap and water. like silver. and polish

WHAT ELECTRICITY IS.

From New Science Review.
DO you suppose We will ever know
what electricity is2''
| have been asked that question more
frequently than any other since became
an electrician, ! will try to clear the
electrical atmosphere a little and endcavor
to bring this apparently mysterious agent
down to the level OF those forces with
which we consider ourselves on more ia
miliar terms, and In this attempt the
| reader Is presumed to have only com
mon school knowledge Of matters scientific.
Before considering, however, the imme-
diate question what electricity is, IT VIII
be well to ascertain first what We really
know about other natural forces, such as
gravitation or heat, both Of which VIC OBJ
serve In daily operation with sort OF con-
tempt that Is born Of familiarity.
What. then. is gravitation?
After little reflection we are compelled
to admit that 1t is quite beyond our powers
to define clearly what Eravitatlon Is. We
can only say at best that a terrestrial force
affects oil material bodies in accordance
with certain fixed principles called the law
of gravitation and on some one asking
some professor of science the question, he
replies: "Grovltaton is a manifestation Of
energy and It's laws are 10 ana So"
Let rs try again. what Is heat?'
Heat. wo say, is Il mode Of motion but
we at once concedc that this definition is
rather unsatisfactory, and does not give
US a clear idea what heat Is. We know
however that heat Affects different material
substances differently. The same degree
Of heat. for Instance. mets one substance
and freezes another. and VIC make daily
use Of this knowledge.
Going again to tho professor OF science,
he replies as before, that Heat Is mani
fostation OF energy, and its laws are so
and So" We note that his answer Ia the
same to both questions. so he has made
at least ono significant doa plain, which is
this: Both heat and grayitation are mani
festations Of energy, and so far Mt least
are one and the same thing. The only i'm
portant thing, after ALL seems to be a
knowledge Of the laws that explain tho
actions Of these forces when at work. for
this alone makes them subseryient to our
needs.
Every form Of force. therefore, should
NE regarded M n different method or way in
which the Bamc thing, moro properly
spoken of ms energy, makes itself known to
the senses.
