It may. truthfully be said that cleo
tricity is the wonoer of the age. 1t has
completely revolutionized manufactur-
ing industries throughout the entire
civilized world. Within comparative
ly few years we have seen the changes
brought about by the telegraph, the
telephone. the electric light, and the
electric motor, until to-day the prac-
tical applications Of electricity are a
familiar sight IN every quarter Of the
globe, and many Of our villages, even,
have their own electric light and power
plants. or are supplied from some
neighboring town. The marvellous
adaptability of electricity is universal
Iy recognized, and its field is practic-
ally unlimited. Within few years.
millions OF homes may be lighted, heat
ed, or cooled by electricity, to say
nothing OF its use for cooking purposes;
every doctor will require an X-ray out
fit, every housewife will tell her needs
over her own telephone (as is already
the case in Stockholm, Sweden9, and
business correspondence will be con-
Quoted entirely by automatic telegra-
ply. The future of the science may De
summed up in the words of Edison:
The mind cannot conceive what man
will bring about in the twentieth GEN.
fury with his chained lightning.
1t is sometimes said that the oppor-
tunities in the electrical field are no
longer what they were. The folly Of
such a statement is evident. The dis
coveries and Improvements made in
electrical lines during the past twenty
five years, instead of contracting the
field of opportunity for Independent
work, have broadened it indefinitely.
Each invention leads either to new
industries or to a greater development
of those already existing. In fact, the
outlook in electrical engineering is
brighter than in many other lines OF
work.
Education is a stepping stone TO sue
cess in any occupation. but especially
SO in the electrical profession. Oppor-
tunities are cons family arising in every
branch of electrical industry for men
qualified, by technical education and
practical experience, to fill responsible
positions. Through the various cleo
trical courses Of the Correspondence
Schools they offer means of advance
ment that no ambitious man can afford
to overlook. 1t matters not what his
position in the electrical field may be,

BARTLEBAUGH'S PLAN
FOR CITY PRISONERS.
The Local Evangelist Suggests a New
City Workhouse Project.
He Fayors the Establishment of an
Industrial Home. and Tells What
the Prisoners Could BE Employed
At-The BartIebaugh Idea in De-
fai

Mr. B. c. Bartlebaugh, city evange-
list, yesterday made public his plan for
caring for the city prisoners and re-
heving the municipality OF the neces-
sity and expense of conducting work
house. His plan is given as follows:
The plan would be 10 have an indus
trial nome for all the prisoners and
provide work within the prison at
which each man could be employed
eight hours per day. The character of
the work would be to have or purchase
junk and have it sorted. packed or
Tabled ready for sale. Again, to gather
all of the waste boxes and have IL pre-
pared or put up in bundles to be sold
at a penny bunch for kindling wood.
Again, TO manufacture small articles
out of wire, 10 be sold. Again to have
an employment Office annexed, through
which the better class Of men could be
put TO work in the factories or shops
or mills. The profits that would be
gained in this way by the labor of the
prisoners would pay al least for all
food, and by so doing save the city
that expense, and at the same time
teach the prisoners that they would
have to labor.
Again. under the present system OF
the workhouse, when a man is turned
out after serving thirty days. in many
cases the man has no home or place to
stay, and the result is that ne falls into
his old habits and is returned to the
workhouse for thirty days again, and
for the city TO care for again. But I'M
der this system Of the industrial home
he would be given employment and a
home until he could find work in some
factory or shop or mill.
Under the present system Of the
workhouse. when a prisoner is let go
he is turned on to the public 70 beg or
steal. or something Of that sort, but I'm
der the work OF the industrial home the
prisoner would be put at something by
which he would be self-supporting. and
also a purchaser from the business
houses of the city. Again there would
be a shelter provided for persons that
would come to. or De about the city,
al which they could stay over night,
and they could pay for the same by
labor and not have TO beg from the
public the price OF a nights lodging or
go TO the police station as they now do.

The rapid increase in the applications
OF electricity has split that science up
into several Important, brahehes. To
meet this, the schools have prepared
nine separate courses. While any OF
these branches affords splendid oppor-
tGnities for the electrical specialist,
