Lord Kelvin upon several occasions
when was with him when he had OPP
portunity to inspect or look at some
new demonstration Of an unrecos-

This statement was made to me by
the late George Westinghouse, few
weeks after Lord Kelvin had visited
Mr.. Westinghouse at Pittsburgh and
had spent a day or two In an inspec-
ton OF Mr.. Westinghouse industries
in that city
Il remember one occasion when
this Characteristic OF Lord Kelvin was
revealed in most impressive man

II DR. Peter Cooper Hewitt, which are
established in the upper stories OF the
lofty tower which surmounts Madison

discoveries and had utilized. after

I'VE we're shown some of the appar-

lighting apparatus. In all these
things Lord Kelvin displayed intense

for the time being the slightest idea of
where he was and did not know or

the highest towers of New York CITY.
"There was one apparatus when
Dr. Hewitt had perfected which gave
demonstration of a most peculiar
action of electricity and mercury.
There appeared to dance around an
intensely luminous glohule, isolated
so far as its form and its brightness
we're concerned. from the surface OF
the mercury. Or. Hewitt. in pointing
to Il. said that e seemed TO suggest a
law OF which the men Of science did
not have the slightest conception
Il WAS almost weird-like. a sort OF

you would write to our county
school superintendent, Mr.. Marshall
Moore. and ask him for his opinion
On just what advantage, and what
results have been obtained through
these schools"

Mr.. R. l.. Webster, manager or
the Western Union Telegraph Co.,
had a narrow escape from being
electrocuted this morning while in
the act of connecting up the switch
board. One Of the city's electric wires
was evidently touching one OF the
telegraph wires. and as a result Mr..
Webster was treated to a charge Of
$500 volts. 1t was several seconds
before he was able to loosen his hand
and this was only due to the fact
that two of the electric fuses in the
Office blew out. This was all that
saved his life, as the current was SO
strong that had not the connection
been broken he could not have stood
the shock much longer. His right
hand was painfully burned, and his
shirt was scorched. His many friends
have been congratulating him that
he escaped as lightly as he did.
