asylum or possibly for Sing Sing. How
over, careful verification Of his plans
and his marking system proved their
correctness, and the blame fell square
~ upon the civil engineer, the life pris-
oner. He was questioned, taken severe
~ to task and roundly rated for his in
competence and threatened and abused.
He met it all calmly. "It looks to me
like mighty good joke on you fellows.
Anyway it is the best joke have heard
since I came to Sing Sing"
As to their continued threats he said:

Finally, il answer to the abuse and

gineer, he said he had changed the
plans both in dimension and shape
where they had diverged from purity
of style, and the system Of marking
he had changed altogether, but If they

Mysterious Power.

Man can utilize and control eleetricai
power, but cannot describe its actions
by analogies with which we are IA
miliar, says a writer III the EleetrieaI
World. j..
Among the things that we do KNOW,
the writer tells. us, is that the electric
energy travels outside of the transmit
ting conductor-along it, but not
through it-and that it is carried by
two 'huXes," electric ard magnetic,
Hsyhich are at right angles to each other
=and move sideWise in a direction at
! right angles to both with the speed of
light. These f1uxes contain energy as
necessary property and take it with
them as they go, but we do not know
whether they move through the ether
Or, with: it or in exactly what they con-
>sist,t though we know the mathematical
relations Of one to the other In the
writer's; concluding words:
1t would seem as though we might re-
,ceive. experimental demonstration on these
!I4ooI, QOlIiCS Ue1Ofe When SuCn DEM
'onstratioE: is completed we expect to claim
An understanding Of the electric drive
but, even then it may be difficult for us to
form a rnental picture Of it. so biased are
al our mental pictures upon sensation
memories. Perhaps we may rneed an
analogy to- think about even then
while ave aye waiting to know all
:ahEsat it, however, there are certain
:analogies that help us. Students have
long been aided by comparing the flow
Of electricity through wire with that
OF MasSsr in a pipe, and Professor
Bracket of Princeton has shown that
g still stronger resemblance exists be
tween electric transmission of energy
and transmission by sneans Of mev-
ing belt OIL rope. Yet all these resem-
blancss fail ct some point or another,
and 1t is a question whether we would
be better able to control OF transmit
the mysterious power if we knew it's
secret as we know the SECRETS Of other

The Humminx BIRD Flower.

Alletedo avasisis, the wonderful SO
called 'humming bird flower Of the
plains OF eastern Turkey, stands unique
ana alone among the many specimens
OF floral mimicry that have been classi-
ned by modern botanists. It is beau
n1nl blossom of yariegated hues, the to
tal length Of the entire flower being
about one and three-quarter inches. AS
one might imagine from its name, It is
an exact image Of miniature hum
ming bird. The breast is green, the
wings deep rose color, the throat gel
low ana the head and beak almost pure
black. The only particular In which it
IS not perfect bird Is that the stem
gives it the appearance of having but a
single leg and foot.
