WHENCE comes Electricitye


At Il time when electricity is rapidly
Transforming the face of the globe,
when 1t has already in great measu
annihilated distance and bids fair to
abolish darkness for us. it is curious to
notice how completely ignorant ''the
velopments OF electrical theory. Some
recent correspondence has led me to
think that d vague notion that electric
ity is n fluid which in some mysterious
way flows through a telegraph wire
like water through a pipe is about as
far as he has got, and if we add to this
some knowledge of what ne calls ''elec-
trio shocks we should probably eX-
haust his ideas on the subject. Yet
this is not to be wondered at. Even
the most instructed physicists can do
nothing but guess as to what electric
ity is, and the only point on which
they agree is rs to what it is not.
There is, in fact, a perfect consensus
of opinion among scientific writer's
that it is not a fluid. e., Il continuous
stream of pOnderable matter, as is Il
liquid or a gas-and that it is not Il
form of energy, as is heat. Outside
this limit the scientific Imagination is
at liberty to roam where it listeth, and,
although it has used this liberty to Il
considerable extent, no definite result
has followed up to the present time

The Canon and the Lawyer.

The point of the following story lies
in the important part which the three
penny Bit plays in church collections
in England. Canon Blank was having
a friendly game of pool at the squire's,
and n of his opponents was Wigsby,
the barrister. The canon lost q life"
and took from his pocket Il threepenny
piece to pay for it, which he placed on
the edge of the table.
"Oh," said Wigsby, 81 see, canon,
you have had your finger in the plate"
The canon drew himself up to his full
height, a good six feet, and, looking
the man of the law full III the face
said, Pm surprised that you, MI.
Wigsby, in the presence Of this re-
spectacle company, have the audacity
to recognize your own paltry contribu-
tom"

LnmnS That Talk.

Electric lamps not only can be made
to talk, but also to sing. An ordinary
arc light can be made to produce
sounds in two ways. One is by placing
the arc in the circuit of a telephone
instead of the ordinary receiver, and
the other is by placing it in the circuit
instead of the ordinary transmitter.
In either of these positions it will
pronounce words, which can be heard
distinctly at a considerable distance.
1t naturally follows, also, that the cleo
trio arc can be utilized as the receiver
phone.

called out to suppress the riot which
ensued, and they succeeded so well that
the soldiers were completely routed.
The most notable riot, however, in
which the Jail figured was the one pre-
cip!tated by a patriot named MacDou-
gall, who had circulated a seditious cir
cular. The Sons of Liberty had just
begun to be recognized as an important
factor in the drama of war which it
was even then seen must be enacted
sooner or later. MacDougall's arrest
gave an impetus to the movement
which, in the opinion OF many students
Of the events of the times, exercised an
appreciate influence in Fastening the
outbreak of hostilities. Liberty poles
were erected and as promptly cut down
by the troops. On Jan. Is, 1870, a pole
which had been cut down and re-erect-
ed was again attacked by the soldiers.
The citizens resisted and then on the
corner Of what are now John and Will
liam streets occurred the battle of
Golden Hill, regarded by several his
torians and referred to by numerous
writer's as 1.-The first engagement OF the
war for liberty" MacDougall was
finally released on bail in April of the
same year. He eventually rose to the
rank OF major general in the Continent
tai army.
When the British had overrun Man
haitian Island, the Jail was one of the |
many buildings used for the herding OF
their thousands OF prisoners. 1t was in |
charge OF the notorious Cunningham. !!
then provost marshal. and thus became |
notorious as THE Provost" Many ia |
nous patriots were confined there |
among them no less a parsonage than |
Ethan Allen, the hero Of Ticonderoga, |
who was captured in the expedition /
against Montreal. Nathan Hale is also |
thought to have passed the greater |
portion Of the few hours intervening |
between his arrest on the night of Sept |
q, 1716 and his execution at II o'clock |
the following morning in this Jail.

them, caused the dreaded place to be
referred to as the Martyrs prison, and
it was so known for several years. It Is
gratifying to learn that Cunningham
after his return to England at the close
of the war was convicted of forgery
and hanged.
Upon the declaration Of peace the old
building continued to be used as
prison until 1880, when it was remod-
eled at an expense of about $4,000 and
became the home of the various city
departments, the prisoners having
meanwhile been transferred to the
Bridewell, occupying a position little
nearer Broadway. After the necessary
changes had been made in the building
it was covered with coat OF stucco.
which, with its uncouthness OF style,
helped 10. give it fame as one of the ar
chitectural monstrosities of the world.
Gradually as the city increased in size
the accommoda atoms of the building
were found te be Inadequate. First one
department, then another and another
was obliged to get out, until finally
only the register. was left. Then the
building was generally known as the
registers office.
