ELEcTRIFYING RosIN.
A Beautiful Experiment That Sup
plies a New Idea In Decoration.

A beautiful experiment was performed
recently by Prof. McNutt of Bethlehem,
Pa. Any boy may perform the feat if he
has access to a glass plate electrical ma
chine such as may be found in any school.
Done before room full of persons. the
performance is quite spectacular, as 1t
would seem for the moment as though
the eXperimenter possessed some mag
netic quality of his own.
Prof. McNutt heated a lot of rosin in
an iron iadle. Ordinarily, if he tipped
over the ladle the molten rosin would
spread over the floor like any liquid. Be-
fore Spilling the rosin, however he con-
nected the ladle with an electric machine
by means of two wires one of which was
attached TO the handle and the other of
which was tied TO hook under the bowl of
the ladle. The object. of course. was to
eiectrify the rosin- Now, the effect of this
electritication was to produce a surface
tension in the liquid rosin which appar-
emily in the end overcame the natural
action of gravity which the earth ordinar-
lily would have on the liquid.
When Prof McNutt attempted to
empty his ladleful of molten rosin, it
first reached downward in long, graceful,
lacelike festoons, in manner like the
more delicate stalactiteS of a limestone
cave. Then, under the electrical attrac-
tive influence of the human body stand
ing near, each feStoon curved its end up
ward, swan-like, toward the professor 5
hand stretching out to receive it. The
stTeamers covered his hand as with a
mantle of filmy lace, and then hung down
toward the floor again like a curtain. In
Il moment they became hard as the air
of the room acted upon them.
This experiment is very easy to perform
and may be made the basis for construct
ing some beautiful ornaments. For in
stance, it would have been easy for Prof.
McNutt to have held his hand just above
small statuette like. for instance. that
celebrated one call The Diver. The fes-
fully over the divers form and would
have seemed like streaming water. Or
the beautiful streamers might be caused
to fall down in front of picture frames.
showing the picture as beneath a trans
parent veil. Christmas trees might be
festooned with it, while its artistic pos
silibilities for church and for show win
dow decoration are enormous. OF course.
when the sun strikes the semi-transDar-
ent streamers of rosin, their brilliancy is
much heightened.

1specIal Correspondence)

New York, Feb. S.-John Burroughs,
like other farmers, avails himself of the
leasure of the winter to make visits.
He has been here for a week or ten
days, visiting especially his friend
Richard Watson Glider. the editor OF
the Century, but also going about and
seeing the brethren of the literary ira
ternity generally He has intimacies
with the younger men as well as the
older, and is admired alike by both for
his fine independence and sturdy SIM
plicity of life and aim. Before coming
here he passed Several weeks with
friends at Cambridge and Boston
There he came under the mallgn touch
Of the grip, and was still showing the
effects of il when he reached New YORK.
Even in the busy season, l think Mr..
Burroughs does not allow his farming
TO become too exclusive an interest.
His place uD on the west bank OF the
Hudson near the village of EsoDus,
has often been described. 1t is SIMPLY
one Of the little fruit farms so famlllar
III that locality, with-near by, put not
adjoining-a small, low-Water tract,
that Mr.. Burroughs has acquired with
in the last three or four years, ana
developed into a celery plantation. lie
has, IN a way, a home on both the
farm proper and the annex. On the
farm proper is the family homestead
a simple house of the better sort com
mon in the locality, wherein the cally
life does not differ much from that
of most WeH-tC-doy country house
holds. On the annex, or the celery
patch, is a rather rude cabin, when
is maintained chiefly as convenience
refuge for those who are caring for
the ground and crop, but in one corner
of which-without any special shutting
off-Mr. Burroughs manages to main
tain a sort of study. Through a good
part of the year he is able-here or IN
the main house-to reserve to -hlmselI
some good hours each day for reading
and writing. 1t goes without the say
ing that in the methods of his literary
work re is not much like popular
novelist. He doesn't have contracts,

have. Ten years later, after he had
published some historical essays and
had begun to gather material for a
history of Holland, he made-a second
venture of the Kind in Merry Mount,
Romance of the Massachusetts, Col
ony." This had-been written some time
before it was published; so it, too, was,
in a sense, a youthful effort. 1t was
regarded by the authors friends as a
great advance on the earlier story, and
as a book of good promise; but the
promise, even they allowed, was for
a historian rather than for a novelist.
