The nstnral Inference is that we i'm
medistsiy set Hood OF light when
we turn the electric switch. While this
Is true enough in sense, many things
really happen before we get the light
AND the light is not instantaneous al
all, even If it does look so.
The first thing accom- plished in turn
ing the switch Is TO close the circuit :,
ina the electric current can flow read
ny through the wires The electricsl
energy PUSHES along the surface of III,
sulated copper wfres at the terrific
peed Of $4,000 miles a second.

seeking the shortest path through IL
circuit. When tais energy, rushing a,
terrific pace, reaches the eiectri,
lamp II passes readily enough throuvl
the small iron and platinum wile,
INTO the bulb where it meets with ~
resistance. In is Path stand TINY
loops Of fine metallic wire which Is

1t would require tremendous am QUIT
Of work for man to climb the face OF
a cliff. This work consumes the eiec
trical energy, just as it would consume
mechanical energy, or human energy
and the energy thus consumed is hot
really consumed or destroy ed-for IN
ture never totally destroys anything,
but changes it INTO heat.
As the current forces its way
through the fine wire the electrical en-
ergy is rapidly changed into heat and
this heat quickly brings the wire 10 a
white glow, when, by strange coinci-
dence, it is a fairly good conductor.
While the light seems instantaneous
it Is only because il istoo quick for the
eye. In reality the wire first gets warm,
then hot, then dull cherry red and
finally this red fades, as il gels hotter,

Cess is rapidly dissipaied into the air.

DANGEROUS TIME
TO START BONFIRES
Utmost Care and Caution Should Be
Used During Dry Weather to
Guard Against Fires.

1t is always wise precaution TO
guard against fire but it is especially
important that great care should be
used at the present time to prevent
fires. 1t is no time to start a bon
fire and the burning OF rubbish is
particularly dangerous, as is the burn
ing of weeds. Several recent fire
alarms sent in to the department have
been caused by parties setting fire
to weeds. A serious confagratior
might result from such practice and
it is only public safety matter that
attention is called to the danger OF
making any kind of an open fire
the dry, hot dusty and windy days.

Mrs. Marder's pupils Concert.

Mrs. Marders seventh annual
pupils concert will be given at the
assembly hail of st. Francis De Sales
church on Thursday June 15 In
looking over the program for the oc-
casion we find the list of young ladies
and little girls headed by the naE7e of
Miss Ora t. Boyer. Filling her place
in the orchestra for eight years,
where every year new players are be-
ing routed in ensemble playing is in
deed mission gaining for her the
gratitude of many pupils who in their
inexperience were greatly assisted by
her cooperation. The violin solo,
"Bindisi," by DAlard, will be played
by Miss Boyer.
The program of eighteen numbers
will be carried out within two hours,
beginning punctually at o'clock. A
little military discipline exercised by
Mrs. Marder helps to impress the
young performers with the fact that
their entertainment is a public ex-
animation a; well Forty pupils are
qualified to do their part and will
surely please their auditors. The
large audience at other ANIMALS has
always been appreciative and thereby
encouraged the participants.
The assembly hall of St Francis De
sales church is an ideal place on &C
count of its splendid ventilation and
low temperature at this season.
