TIE KALEIDOSCOPE.
instrument by Which the Presence of
 Electricity Is Detected.


 Electricity Is Detected.
 The eleetroscoP" is an instrument for the detection of electricity. It depends for it's action on the principle that bodies charged with like electricity re- pei. while those charged with unlike electricity attract each other. The ordi- nary pith ball suspended on silk thread is the simplest form ol the in strument
 The most common type of electro, scope is that devised by Bennett in 17S1 and known as the gold leaf cleo troscopc It consists of two strips of gold leaf or thin aluminium foil sus- pended from the lower extremity of q conductor within a glass bottle or jar. The upper end of the conductor ter inmates in a ball or plate In case the instrument is to be used as a condens- ing electroscope. If body charged with positive electricity is brought near the knob of the electroscope the nega- tive electricity will be attracted to the knob and the positive repelled to the leaves, which diverge. If now the fin ger is touched to the knob the positive electricity Is drawn off and the leaves collapse. while the negative electricity is held bound. Removing the charged body, the leaves will divcrge again, charged with negative electricity. In this case the instrument can be used to determine the nature of charge of body brought near it, as with a posi- tive charge the leaves will collapse and with a negative charge spread farther apart

Republican Senate leaders that he
need have no anxiety over the possi-

ed with the President today, predict
ed the adjournment of Congress Au-
gust 10, with all bills proposing to re.
wise the wool schedule defeated, and
giving three days to reach an agree
ment on statehood.

however, came rumors from the pilot

insurgent senators to tack an amend.
ment revising the wool schedule on
the Farmers Free List Bill Wool Is
