Fountain MARKING Brush.

A very necessary portion of the Ia

dress of the party to whom 1t is to be
sent, and the pot and marking brush
are common articles In the shipping
department Of every large establish

the pot being tipped over and deposit
ing Its contents on the floor or boxes.

the marking brush Is likely to drip In
transferring It from the pot to the sur

The Nature of Electricity.

Prof. de Heen of the University Of
Liege concludes that all electrical
phenomena are to be attributed to
vortex motions of the ether, and pro-
poses three fundamental hypothesis.
G) All bodies are surrounded by an
atmosphere Of vortex elements. which
elements we may cal e%lectrons. (2)
Each electron represents a small
conical vortex whose energy OF mo-
ton is Interchangeable. (3) The direc-
ton of motion of the superficial cleo
irons Ia always the same. When
a body is electrified the worthless that
pre-existed at its surface are oriented.
The hypothesis can be expressed and
discussed fundamentally and we may
look for further developments Of
these ideas.
