What Is Electricity?


Many persons young and old often
wonder how the modern electric ears,
trains and locomotives are operated
and what electricity is. No one knows
what electricity is. We know some OF
the things that it will do. We have
to certain extent learned how to con.
troll 1t and for want Of better name
call it O fluid. We have discovered,
too, that 1t is one of the most impor-
tant forces, If not the most important
force, Of which we have any knowl-
edge. We are. almost as ignorant Of
many other great forces OF nature-as,
for example, the attraction Of gravita-
ton. For the present we must be con-
tent to observe such forces In action
and to devise the best methods to con-
troll them. In this knowledge mankind
has progressed wonderfully within a
few years.-St. Nicholas.

Eishino Without Bait.

On the Nadoo creek, at Huk0w, we
saw novel way of fishing. Two
small boats were moving parallel with
each other about thirty feet apart.
The ends Of a line about sixty feet
long to which small undated hooks
were attached about four inches apart
to two sticks were held respectively
by man IN each boat. AS the boats
moved slowly along first one man and
then the other would give his stick a
jerk. Immediately that the hooks
struck anything the line was gradu-
ally hauled in and invariably with
success. We saw fish struck four out
Of FIVE times, many of them running
apparently from half pound to two
or more pounds. It may be that Chi
Ma Is the only place in the world
