name from thekireek word flor amber.
Gilbert In lGOOiwas the firstitO employ
the terms 'ele1ric force" and electric
attractions" In 174S Franklin's cleo
trical researcbes,had progressed so far
that he killed turkey by the electric
spark and roasted 1t by an electric
jack before a fire kiniled by the cleo
trio bottle, and In 1862 by means of the
kite experiment he demonstrated the
identity of electricity and lightning.
The first magnetic -eEctricpnachine was
made at Paris by Pixiii lin 1892: the
FIRST telegraph line in the United
States was set up betweenGVa shington
and Baltimore in 1874; the first sub
marine cable was laid between Eng

Japau's Pancake wsmen.

One of the familiar sights on the
streets OF japanese town is the pan
cake woman. who, with her little bra
Eier OF Goals and her tiny frying pan. Is
usually found on corner not far from
a school. She has bowl full OF deli
cious batter, ladle and a cake turner.
and there is apt to be hungry crowd
around her little stand as soon as
school is out, for not many Of the chill
dren are able to resist the smell OF che
crisp pancakes. at least IL they have
any money. For a small coin worth
only fraction Of one OF our pennies
q child may fry and turn his own
