THE GENIUS OF THE LAMP.

|, The title Of he Sultan Of Sulu" has
comic opera sound which, writer in
Everybody's Magazine declares, is car
ried out by the appearance and behav-
ior of this Oriental potentate. The Sui
tan and his suite We're once entertained
at luncheon on board United States
transport. None Of them had ever
been on board large vessel before.
The visit was full Of surprise and ex-
citement for them.
They looked the ship over at first
with stolid interest. and the Sultan
himself set off the six-pounder without
flicking an eyelid. But at last, in the
saloon, some one attempted to explain
the mystery Of the incandescent lamps,
and there the natives were surprised
out Of their reserve.
Even the Sultan's face showed
amazement when an army officer
reached up and turned lamp on and
off repeatedly. His Highness ordered
one of his suite to do 1t. The fellows
face went grecnish for q moment, but,
nevertheless. he reached up and lreni-
blingly touched it as he would have a
hot brand. When he found that it did
not hurt him. and that the light actu
ally obeyed the impulse Of his finger
tips, he was the most excited Moro in
the archipelago. His excitement was
contagious. Nearly every one in the
suite started for lamp on his own ac-
count, and the cabin was bewilder-
ment of flashing lamps.
Presently Oriental cunning got the
better of amazement, and one or two
of them tried to fool the lamps. A fel-
low would steal quietly up to a bulb,
and, reaching forward, suddenly turn 1t
on, evidently with the intention of
catching it mapping. Or he would turn
it off and jump away, apparently with
the same intention. But the lamps re-
fused to be fooled. and the facial ex-
preston that followed each failure
was ludicr0Is 10 behold.
OF course, they wanted to know what
made the light. 1t was impossible to
give them history Of electrical devel-
Opment, but an officer present thought
Of giving them an object lesson that
would prove short cut to knowledge.
He directed four or five Of them to
stand in line. holding hands. Then the
men on the ends Of The line were told
TO each grasp the brass part Of a lamp.
They did so. and instantly the entire
line sustained an electric shock. They
were too astonished to speak. and not
knowing enough TO let go they just
