TEST ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE

Some novel effects of electrical dis
charge have been recorded by De
Muynck, a Belgian physician. A
platinum wire was stretched over
supports about twenty-five inches
apart, and the end was brought near
the spark ball of a battery of four
jars, charged from a Holtz induction
machine. The wire was heated, 9TH
er electric currents being suitable
for this. When quite hot, increasing
the spark gap until no spark crossed
it caused the wire to give out a mu-
steal note and at the same time to
sway in oscillations of half an inch
or more. The cold wire did not oscil-
late. The sound varied with the tenn
perature, and with other conditions
not well understood.

outset they are sure it is the fault
Of the stock; so they quit or try
another breed, class or system.
Others, who may be less concern
ed about immediate financial re-
turns but aspire to prominence as
constructive breeders, lose interest
because progress commonly is
slow.
Stock breeding is not a fad-like
recreation in which quick reward,
in money or progress, is possible,
except in infrequent instances.
No one should engage in business
with the expectation of being a
notable exception to the rule.
Whatever his qualifications and
favoring conditions, every begin
ner is practically sure to travel the
long road of the masters, if he
achieve ends comparable with
theirs. No short cuts can be
promised; the quick ways usually
lead OBVIOUSLY and expersively
back to the main route.
Viewed in this light, the breed
ing of pure-bred stock is most at
tractive to the patient man who
has a genuine passion to paint
masterpieces with a wondrous pig
ments of animal life, and he will
reap generous reward along the
way.
