We find the following anecdotes in a
Naples paper: AT the postottice yes
Derday, amid the large crowd gathered
around the window, was young Eng
lish lady handsome, well dressed and
accompanied by her maid. The young
lady had just purchased some stamps
and was about to atiix them to a num-
Der Of letters which she held in her
hand. Delicately tearing off a stamp,
she said to her maid Pull (sic) out
your tongue And the maid, with Eng
lish impassivity, thrust forth her
tongue, while the mistress passed over
1t postage stamp which she subse-
quently stuck on a letter. She went
through the entire package of letters,
and for each one the obedient waiting
maid thrust out her tongue for the
mistress to moisten the stamp. Curl

At time when electricity is rapidly
transforming the face or the globe,
when It has already in great measure
annihilated distance and bids fair TO
abolish darkness for us, 1t is curious to
notice how completely Ignorant the
plain man" remains as TO the later de-
velopments OF electrical theory. Some
recent correspondence has led me to
think that vague notion that electric
tty Is a fluid which in some mysterious
way flows through a telegraph wire
like water through pipe is about as
far as he has got, and If we add to this
some knowledge of what he calls "elec-
trio shocks" we should probably ex-
haust his ideas on the subject. Yet
this Is not TO be wondered ut. 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 as to what 1t Is not
There Is. In fact, perfect consensus
OF opinion among scientific writer's
that II is not fluid. e., continuous
stream or ponderable matter, as is a
liquid or a gas-and that it Is not a
form of energy, as is heat Outside
this limit the scientific imagination is
at liberty to roam where ii listeth, and,
althoLg h II has used this liberty to a
considerable extent, no definite result
has followed up to the present time
Academy.
