One More Capital
Discovery Was Made.

One more capital discovery was
necessary before practical ma
chimes could be made. This was
that if the thin wire connecting
the ends of the thick moving wire
was insulated, heightened and
twisted around the bar, the gall
vanic battery might be dispensed
with. 1t was found that the ma
chine could use the very electricity
it generated to increase the mag
netic force of the bar by simply
conveying the flow around it in in
creased number of turns.
When steel or permanent mag
nets and galvanic batteries were
discarded, the name was changed
from magnetic to dynamo.
Now, bend the bar of iron into
the shape of the letter U and the
two poles are near to each other,

The ather of Texas
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

CAM HOUSTON died forty nine
years ago. and 1t was the last
of earth" with one of the great
est Americans that ever looked up
with pride to the flag of our coun-
try.
Houston was born on a farm in
Virginia in 1898, and, with a natu-
raj leaning toward the wild, began
early in life to roam the Wilder
ness. With red man and the
beasts of the forest he was solidly
at home, and it was only by a very
great exertion of will power that he
finally betook himself to the haunts
of civilization
After some boyish experience in
the War of '12," Houston became a
real soldier with Jackson in his
memorable war with the Creek In
dams, and at the famous battle of
Horseshoe Bend" the young Vir-
ginian displayed the valor and cour-
age that won from his chief the
"diiISSI III dlS6. NOlillnS plSdSeQ
odd Hickory" like real bravery,
and with his own eyes he had seen
that Houston was the "bravest of
the brave"
1t was impossible that man of
HoustOn's ability and taking"
ways should remain in the back
ground. and in the natural course of
events he found himself. at the age
of thirty-one a major general, and
at the age of thirty four governor
of Tennessee, his adopted state.
With the brightest of prospects, =
Houston about this time married
the beautiful young woman who
was to begin the 'Iliad of his woes"
Soon after the marriage he learned,
from his bride herself, that she
loved another and did not love her
husband at all Broken hearted,
but with wonderful magnanimity.
Houston told her he would let her

bly, blames some woman
for it.
The man may be 60 years old, as
worldly wise as Solomon. and as ex-
perienced as Don Juan himself. and
the woman in the case may be
year-old girl, but his
wife is firmly convinced that her
husband is a poor, ignorant, unsus-
ptcious, unsophisticated infant who
has been taken in against his will
by a designing siren with whom he
lacked the ability to cope
Every day I get letters from an
cry and neglected wives telling how
their husbands have been stolen
away from them by younger and
fairer women, and reciting the
punishment-and, believe me, it's
something terrible. with boiling oil
in it-that they think should lie
visited upon these nefarious home
robbers. But there is never a word
of accusation against the husband
who has been so careless as to
permit himself to be pilfered by
these light fingered ladies. or any
suggestion that the wives consider
that the man was any party to the
crime. 1t is always the woman.
She did it.
1t is, perhaps, cold comfort to say
to these unhappy wives that the
husband stealer is like the Mrs.
Harris Of whom Sairey Camp talk

myth. a female F'rankenstein man

of wives to explain a truth they

Michael Faraday's Great
Discovery
Bv EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

IN August 81, 1881, the Master
Mind in science, manifesting
in the brain of Faraday, d.
rected his hand to take up a wire
that was conveying current of
electricity from one terminal of an
ordinary zinc cooper acid galvanic
battery to the other. and place it
across a bar of soft iron, not touch
ing the iron.
The eye of man hath not seen an
event more wonderful than that
which followed; the iron at once
became a temporary magnet and
attracted iron filings.
Faraday then wrapped thread
around the wire to insulate it-that
is, to prevent contact of metal
and made one turn of wire around
the piece of iron; It's magnetism
was increased. Then he made a
coil of many turns, like thread on a
spool, and secured a strong magnet.
BY moving a wire in front of this
temporary iron, instead of perma-
nent steel, magnet, increased cur
rent was obtained, depending on
the number of turns of wire and
speed of the moving wire.

Upon the good, honest father of

Erring Hunt Temptation.
1t is utter nonsense to talk about
business man being the helpless
victim of his stenographer, be-
cause at the very first roll of her
eyes In his direction he could have
sent her packing, if he was so
sternlv opposed to a filtration as
his wife believes that he was. Let
it not be forgotten that men have
always the opportunity, and the
ability, to run away from women if
they ardently desire to do so, No
adventures is fleet enough of foot
to overtake a man unless he is
willing, and when she captures him
it is because he has been at least
guilty of contributory negligence in
not making a getaway.
1t is sadly true that most of the
tempted go out and hunt up temp
tation on their own account and
that as long as we keep to the right
side of the road the devil passes by
on the other without bothering u.s.
Certainly this is the case as re-
CARDS the unfaithful husband 1t is
the man with the rowing eyes who
sees every pretty face. 1t is the
man who seeks adventures that
finds them. 1t is the man who
opens champagne for chorus girls
who has 10 pay the bill. No wom-
an can hold a man or make him
seek her society against his in
clination. as these same neglected
wives know to their sorrow
Perhaps if wives would realize
that their missing husbands have
strayed of their own accord, and
not been stolen, they would find a
better way to get them back. Or
they might consider that household
pets with such migratory instincts
were not worth getting back at all
But at any rate. they would serve
justice by putting the blame where
1t belongs. for there are no hus-
band stealers. The worst that A
woman does under such circum-
stances is to become receiver of a
heart that does not honestly be-
long TO her.
