possible with apparatus already made.
And these are commonplace achieve
ments compared with the possibilities
of electric development. The storage
battery that electricians are working
toward will eliminate the worst fea-
lures of automobiles, take the trolley
wires from the streets, and make most
farm machinery electric. Sir Hugh
Bell has predicted that century

aboard and scarcely any crew, ships
will be sped on their voyages by elec-
tricity generated at Niagara Falls and
transmitted wirelessly over the Allan

most enough to insure a commercial
flying machine. Yet, should no new
electrical invention be made, we have
already enough to make us far more
comfortable and to enable us to save
much time and lost motion.

There was no restraint to his

subsidized he asked:
What did you do wiss the tomb

That's bad. Seffy. He'll put It up
at the store an you ken meier 60 there

seny's look OF horror was q re-
minder to his father that It would
have been better not to say that. But
Old Baumgartner had tremendous
aplomb.
''Nefer mind--nefer mind. Nebby

knew the store clerk would be certain
to think Of It.
Upon a sudden thought the old man
leaped up.

set him on his feet.

OF course Old Baumgartner was well
aware that his logic would not bear
tho least scrutiny. And he regarded
6effy anxiously as he raced through
1t. But dull happy Seffy saw no flaws
in 1t. He agreed with his father that
