B. H. 5. NOTES
By IDA CLARE

A most novel and interesting lec- mre and experiment on electricity took took place at Freshman as- sen1bly, held yesterday afternoon. The lecturer was MT. Ham of the Annex faculty.
 In the beginning of the talk MT. Ham told just why electricity could be called an old and new subject. He recalled that 20OO B. c. we have remarks which prove the existence of electricity at that time. He named the different weIl-known experiments. MT. Ham divided and explained the subject in five different parts.
 After explaining the subject for about a half hour, MT. Ham began the apparatus work. He started the circuit with 500 volts and kept in- creasing the current until a point o1 25,000 volts was reached. Two of his pupils in physics were assisting. MT. Ham placed the boys in a po- sftion where there bodies came in contact with two large squares of sheet metal. he then connected the circuit and a spark was seen to pass between the pieces of iron which each boy held in his hand. The teacher said that this was an example of the term human conductors,'' and the thing is often performed on the stage. The lighting of cigar, which Mir. Ham held in his mouth, by the sparks was another of the novelties which the Annex man favored the pupils with
 During the latter part of the ex- pertinent MT. Ham raised the current to one million volts. Pupils were then invited to come to the front of the auditorium and if they would hold in their hands large coin, MT. Ham would touch the metal with the cur rent but the pupil would feel no sen sation.
 It was wonderful As Doctor Sides afterwards expressed "when we think that men have been killed with d current which contains a much lower number of volts and then to have you pupils come up here and have a million volts touch a coin held in the hand of a pupil without the latter feeling 1t Is certainly wonderful and almost unbelievable"
 The assembly was concluded about 2.30.

 Maintaining of passenger train schedules has been increasingly diff cult, trains being forced to reduce speed to avoid accidents and blow snow drifts. Tracks have been washed away in many places.
