As to the exact nature. there are many theories and intending debate. It has been called n fluid. but so were heat and light in for mer times.
 According 10 effects. electricity may ne divided Into two classes the static or stored which may be discharged from thunder cloud or Loyden jar; and the current or dynamic. which flows constant ly between two poles on wire circuit.

 ''There'll be no live wires about for you to step on," promised Jimmy. "So trust me - for I know electricity from long ha ndling or it."
 There was such pride in Jimmy's voice and importance in his manner that his fond mother was forced to submit to his plan, and went to make a prolonged call upon some friend. leaving Jimmy in full control of the house again.
 And that evening when Jimmy's parents came home for supper they found a very excited and happy boy. He was radiant. laughing and chatting. His long task both of mind and body-was completed. and he came out of his meditative mood. finding tongue to talk about anything and everything.
 Well. I wonder what is going to hap pen." tested his mother. walking about on tip-toe, lest she tread upon some concealed wire.
 I'm almost afraid to step or to breathe. Jimmy Is so full, of anticipa- ton that I'm expectant, and a bit-yes. I'll admit it-a bit apprehensive lest bis wiros should become entangled about us and cause a-a-"

The Inventor.

The story of the Inventor who has beg gsred himself and perhaps his friends while chasing some elusive theory. Is an old and familiar one. There Is also the widespread story. not so often told of young men who are wasting their time. spurred on by grafting patent agents, with inventions that they have not the native ability to handle. or ones that are neither practicable nor worth while. h. ventors. outside of the man who stumbles on brilliant idea or improves some other chaps invention. are born. not made. Tn this respect many of them are Ike the rising young poets. who mistake long hair and an ability to rhyme for real poetic feeling.
 Inventing cannot he made business. But the rewards Of the successful in- ventor have brought forward crop of young men who are wasting money and time though. Ii must be admitted. they could waste both In a fess profitable way. America Is the especial breeding ground of the lnventor-but the fact must he emphasized that. In the present highly organized and scientific age. few of these are qualified to do more than stumble on scientific truths In the line of novelties. these inventors" however. are adding to their bank accounts if not to the worlds profit or knowledge.

of the little depositors is sent 10 the bank the depositors of the institution. A book can then be drawn out regularly in the schoolchild's name. After the amount has reached g the pupil can draw out the money-but only under careful precau- lions that prevent the misuse of the money.
 Every child who joins the school Is given a blaDx deposit book-and it doesn't take long for the chap with the right spirit to he as anxious to get his penny into the account as he had been before to get 1t into the candy store.
 The town of Pittsburg has the largest proportion of the lT7. 900 depositors. In that town, over one thousand school classes are saving money by this fashion. New York Is soon to attain this su- premncy. Tn boys and newsboys' homes. social settlements and night schools the same splendid system Is gaining ground. The reports of the work are published each year by the United States Comp troller of the Treasury. There are also penny savings banks. operated by special stamps. that are the outgrowth of this idea.
 The child Is the father of the man and 1t stands to reason that the children educated fin this thrifty atmosphere will turn out the business men of tomorrow.

 At table his father asked him what he had been inventing lately.
 Nothing of any size-except scheme" replied Jimmy But If my scheme is O. K. I'll have no complaints to make, sir"
 And do you mind sharing the secret of your schemeT' his father asked, smil- ing proudly at his precocious little son.
 "I'a rather not sir" replied Jimmy. You see, it's this way, papa. Suppose the scheme should fall through with well. then I'd be embarrassed. you see. I'd feel sorry that I had said anything about It.
 Al right go ahead with your scheme in secret" smiled his father. When you are ready to tell your mother and me about 1t we shall be very glad to hear"
 So the week wore away. Jimmy put in every waking moment-when not in school-in his work shop.
 Then followed a strenuous Saturday for his mother who was asked to absent her self from the house for a few hours. She willingly compiled. giving Jlmmy the place 10 himself all the forenoon But when she returned in the afternoon she was met at the door by Jimmy who begged her to remain away a few hours longer.

 Never mind, James," said teacher severely. We do not have time today for a lecture on the subject of electricity You remain in after school and see If yos can get that arithmetic problem through your head as easily as you seem to get an electric current"

Pittsburg. like New York, has become known far and wide ss one of the spots where mllionaires seem 10 spring up in a night. and apart from the money making chances of the two towns, there is e sig nificnnt factor to be found In the savings department that permeates the public schools of both. In these two cities, more than any others-though school savings banks are scattered through over twenty staies-ls this wonderful system of edu- eating the child mind In thrift. IL Is Inevitable that this training should have had its influence on the hundreds of thousands of children who have learned the science Of thrift when their minds were in a plastic shape. This thrift Is more to the point thsn the greatest of 'ologles or 'isms.

Today the system extends through IO20 schools lo- cated in IA different towns in the United States and Canada. having nearly s20.- OO0.OO0 that has been saved in the pennies of its small depositors.

Jimmy Franklyn was a born electrician. devoting all his spare time to the study. His father and mother laughed al Jimmy's enthusiasm: but Jimmy declared that some day he would become n second Edi- son. His room away up stairs, and separated by hall from the other up- stairs rooms-was a sight to behold. Wires and little work tables and tools were everywhere. small telegraph h. strument occupied a prominent place nelr one window of the room, and this could be heard to chrk. click by the hour at a time. Jimmy had telephone wire of his own ''contraption" (to use his boy ish expression) connecting his room and the room of his chum. Ted Jones. who lived several blocks away. Jimmy had also contrived a wireless telegraphic In strument, which was his pet for a long time. and which had been in a measure surprisingly successful. But all the time that Jimmy worked. his parents-though indulgent-laughed at him.

 Mir. Frsnklyn laughed at his wife's fears. saying. that since the block had been so recently visited by a burglar they need not look for another attack In the immediate neIghborhood for some time.
 Jimmy sat silent. thinking. That day at school his mind wandered many times from his lessons. and when. during his history recitation. the teacher asked him 10 name the comma nder- -in-chief of the American forces during the Revolution ary War. he quickly spoke up. saying:
