STATIC ELECTRICITY.
II Is All Around Us Always and Plays
Queer Franks at Times.

Static electricity seems to be every
| where. We are quite surrounded by il
on all sides. 1t is in the earth, the air,
in our clothes. on the books. the rug
| and the walls. 1t sticks the papers to-
gether on the desk. 1t attracts feath-
ers and bits of lint to metal and glass
1t leaps from our fingers when we
touch metal objects. Now and then a
! cracking noise will be heard when the
| coat is being taken of \ wooden skirt
or sweater drawn quickly over the
head Will produce cracking sparks. BY
shufiling the dry feet over the carpet
a considerable spark can be obtained
| from the fingers.
| Bear in mind that static electricity
is not the kind that is used to light the
electric lamps In the house. Very lit
| tie work has ever been found for static
electricity. 1t is worthless vagabond
delighting in mad pranks. In the form
Of lightning it dashes down from the
sky. soaring honest folk nearly to
death. often doing considerable dam
age. Ii frequently visits the press room
in large printing establishments and
sticks the sheets OF paper together I'M
ill the presses have to be stopped. 1t
gathers on the yarns and threads in
textile mills. knotting and tangling
them. and is always in mischief.
1t is easy enough to prove the pres
ence Of static electricity. Rub bit OF
amber. glass. hard rubber or sealing
wax with silk handkerchief or a
piece of wooden cloth, and it will at.
tract bits Of paper and small particles
of metal. When we stroke the cats
back this static electricity collects very
rapidly. Ii snaps and crackics and
flashes as it discharges between our
fingers aud the animals far. This dis.
play OF static electricity is nothing
more or less than miniature thunder
shower--w without the rain.-From uar-
per's beginning Electricity" by Don
Cameron Shafer.

A TRIP TO THE MOON.
One Scientist at Least Thinks u viii
Be Made Some Day.


Jules Verne was scientific man.
and many regard his fiction stories OF
submarine and aerial fiight-which at
the time they were published seemed
wild drcalnS-as a serious prediction OF
what he believed would be accom-
plished. As matter OF fact he did
live to see the submarine an accepted
arm of two navics. and the Wrights
were well advanced toward success
before he died. There remains his
"Trip to the Moon" which seems abso-
luteIy impossible of accomplishment
Nevertheless. there are scientific men
who dare TO reach out into space and
chart n pathway to other worlds.
One of these. NJ. Ernest Archdeacon

thorities in France on aviation. pre-
