THE WONDERLAND OF SCIENCE
ELECTRICITY, THE DEMON, BUT
SERVANT.

Harry T. Starnes in his Wonders
of Electricity" gives the Iayman a
glimpse into the fairyland of science.
We have come to take some Of the
things about US in q commonplace
way because they have been bound
and made subservient to our Wills not
realizing the potential powers within
them.
We all fear electricity. In the form
Of lightning it kills US and burns our
homes, yet ii serves US as slave. II
has been chained and confined and
made to turn night into day for US.
1t carries US across the country to the
city in interurban trains and conveys
US about the city in the street rail-
ways. 1t drives our automobiles, and
Of late years lights our farm homes,
runs our separators and other ma
chinery.
We generate or secure our electEIg
power by two methods-mechanica
and by chemical action. Mr.. Starnes
carries portion of a chemical labo-
ratory with him and demonstrates with
number of experiments the produC-
ton of electric current by chemical
action. These experiments are beau
tiful as well as interesting
He carries a static machine and
performs some curious experiments
with the current generated from It.
He will also demonstrate magnetism
as a source of electricity, performing
experiments with powerful electro
magnets.
After having shown the sources
from which we secure electricity, Mr..
Starnes will demonstrate some Of the
wonders and freaks Of its action. He
will use the earth and the air as con-
ductors and demonstrate some wire
less activities, such as wireless tele-
graphy firing a mine, and blowing up
a miniature battleshlp at q distance.
He will carry Tesla's apparatus. ex-
perimenting with currents of high Pc
tentiality and high frequency. The
X-ray and ultraviolet ray will be pro-
duced A miniature thunderstorm viii
occur. producing the lightning as we'll
as the thunder.
These are only few Of the many
interesting things Mr.. Starnes will use
In his lecture. He carries with him an
elaborate equipment of dynamOs, gen
orators, motors and electrical and
chemical apparatus which has cost
thousands of dollars.
This is an opportunity Of a/life-
time; grasp 1t. If you haven't Ly-
