Rackylft was hurled violently to the

several moments. When he got up

Sounds = Novel Whistle.
Prof. Elihu Thompson, the electri,
clan, gave lecture on Electricity at
High Pressures" before the New York
Electrical society. He began by ex-
planning some Of the earliest known
electrical phenomena in modern terms
The charges produced by contact ant
friction upon metal and rubber plate.
and by the primitive electrophoru.
were, he said, Of low potential, or volt
age. until the two substances in con
tact were separated. The work done il
separating them was the first rnethot
known Of raising potential or increas
ing the voltage Of an electrical charge
and the charges obtained by rubbing :;

sures Of from 10000 to 10000 volts. H,
mentioned here that the voltage OF :
cha1oe or current had in itself little t.
do with its dangerous character. whicI
depended rather on the amount of the
charge or current and its manner of
being received by the body. Will,
10000 or $4,000 volts might not be a.
all dangerous under certain conditions
ITO volts, the current ordinarily usel
for an incandescent lamp. might kill

explained the theory and operation o.
several static generators and current
transformers. The last transformer
shown was special form of induction
coil operated without a condenser, the
current being broken by platinum.
anode in the generator. With this he
produced discharge of so high fire.
Quency that the train of sparks. which
assumed a coiled form, produced a high
musical note. The discharge, he said
had too high voltage to be used for
the production of X rays. unless mod
ned by the introduction Of resistance
coils in the circuit. He had series of
these. which were thrown into connec-
ton by a multi-point switch. and he
played a tune on the apparatus by its
means He also showed an electrical
whistle, which consisted Of speciu
electromagnetic, the vibration of whose
armature was tuned by the switch tc
correspond with the pitch of commol
wooden box in which the magnet wa
placed. The sound was similar to tha
OF deep-toned steam whistle. Ir
closing the lecture Prof. Thompsol
spoke of the increasing tendency tc
ascribe many meteoric and astronom-
ical phenomena, including aurorae

conditions.-NewY York Sun.

In the Line of Progress.

AS was stated in the Herald's news
columns yest ,.dns at the meeting Of
the State Educational association in
Fargo motions prevailed declaring
for state examining board working
in cooperation with county superin
tendents: three grades of certificates
with the third or lowest reised by
adding theory and practice and other
professional training, and providing
salary Of examining board by adding
ST. to the present examination fee,
leaving the appointment of the board
to the state department.
The matter has been in the hands
of competent committee for year,
and this committee has undoubtedly
given the subject careful investiga
ton. The proposition, while not go
ing as far as many people would like
to go, is undoubtedly in the line Of
progress, and the result of the
change, if it is made, will be to in
crease the efficiency of the teachers
of the state, both now and henceforth.
