Out of his own midnight oil stun
Dockrell-whose curl-wreathed face

way from the resolving OF the mass

Then there was much about the re-

In the dawn of human existence ev-
erything must have been done by the
mere exertion of bodily strength, the
muscles OF the arm must have been
taxed to the utmost, and literally in
deed In those days did man eat bread
In the sweat of his face. The first
step which indicated progress was
the substitution of brute for human
the plough instead Of man. The pow
ers Of the air were next invoked. the
sail was spread to the breeze, and the
boat moved and the mill ground In
obedience to the wind, which man
had summoned to his aid. Then he
laid his hand upon the flowing stream,
arrested It's course, brought this new
form of power under more complete
control, and made II work for him.
After awhile he found that q more
potent element lay within his reach;
the water was bound In iron, f1re
brought to act upon II, and Its subtle
vapor, by simple expansion and con-
traction, was forced TO labor while
the wind was quiet and the stream
stagnant. II has been calculated by
a distinguished scientific gentleman
that a man of average size, who
should labor for 20 years, eight hours
per day, would have exerted force
equal to that produced by burning In
a steam engine three tons OF coal. he
has also ascertained that three snip
loads Of coal would furnish power
enough to have built the largest OF
the Egyptian pyramids.

Now, II would seem as though this
monarch OF the flood and the field,
mans servant, were destined In Its
turn to retire before an element, still
more subtle, ethereal and potent:
That mysterious electric substance,
which seems to bridge the gulf that
separates the material and the spir-
itual: which holds so strange a con-
nection with the processes OF both
vegetable and animal life. quickening
the growth OF wheat and curing the
maladies of the body; which holds
ncomprehensible affinities with the
magnetic poles; which furnishes
light intense as that Of the sun;
which, though intangible, imponder-
able and invisible, can rive the gran
tie rock and lay cities In the dust;
which can kill, and almost make
alive: which can give the same vibra-
ton to a pendulum In Cincinnati and
in washington; which can be made
to utter at the same instant the same
words in every city OF the union; this
a the great enchanter, which, reduced
