TRACES GROWTH
OF ELECTRICITY
In INDUSTRIES
General Electric Expert
= Talks to Engineers at
Cosmos Club.

From the little hot plate that
makes the morning toast to the
great arc furnaces that melt and
refine steel at temperatures up 20
1880 degrees Fahrenheit. heating
by electricity has many industrial
uses. p. A. Meyer. OF the General
Electric Company. told the WASH
ington Section Of the American In
stitute Of Electrical Engineers at
its meeting last night at the Cos
mos Club.
Electricity is useful in the home
because IL is clean and easy to use.
and. lndustrially. electric ovens are
being used more and more because
of the close, temperature control
that can be obtained with them and
the freedom of the product from the
impurities that are produced by the
combustion of other fuels, such as
COAL" said Meyer.
In 1913 there were only nineteen
arc electric furnaces in use in the
steel industry. and now there are
over $50. he said, in telling Of the
rapid growth Of the use Of cleo
tricity. Melting OF brass in cleo
trio furnaces is only about three
years old. but there are now 394 OF
these furnaces in this country.
In addition to the arc and induc-
tion furnaces that furnish heat for
steel melting processes above l.sOo
degrees, lower-powered units are
widely used for heat treating proc
esses, hardening and tempering
steel and melting aluminium. tin and
low melting point alloys.
In the baking and enameling Of
everything from automobile bodies
TO typewriters, and in drying such
things as shoe buttons. electric
ovens are proving efficient. Meyer
said Initial costs Of electrical in
stallation are high. but use Of cleo
tricity is profitable in industry be-
cause of its advantages, he declared.

SAYS CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE HELPFUL
Boston Man Discusses the
Fundamentals of Di-
vine Aid.

The human mind is an accretion
of mortal education and from hrst
to last human existence, when UNI
aided by divine science, is a NOR
tally mental process, rising no
higher than the limits of its mate
rally mental selfhood," said DR..
John NJ. Tutt, c. S. B., in a lecture
on Christian Science at First Church
of Christ, Scientist, last evening
Mortal man comes into the world
without the consciousness of iden-
tity. without experience, without
intelligence" added the lecturer.
and nothing in animal life is born
so helpless, so completely without
sense as the human kind. commonly
not having sense enough to eat.
Christian Science" continued DR..
Tutt, has come to make education
divinely mental, thus raising NOR
tai selfhood above itself. leavening
the race and true science and put
ting to an end the kaleidoscope
round of material life.
THE atomic theory was the
foundation Of physics, when Mrs
Eddy discovered Christian Science.
Briefly, this theory taught that in
the process of subdivision of matter.
a point must be reached at which no
further division could be made.
Physics termed this irreducible par
ticle. of matter the atom and upon
1t raised the entire structure of nat
ural science. including physical
man. Instinctively I felt the un-
truth of it. In college. and later in
medical college. l questioned the
atomic theory, and found myself
always reaching back Of the mate
rial toward primary cause. Now I
know that even then the leaven wa.
at work in human consciousness. To
me 1t never seemed logical that
there could be an indivisible portion
OF matter. Anything that could be
divided. l contended, could be divided
again. an SO indefinitely. Before
my college course was coinplete.
the atomic theory began to crumble.
Ihe atom was split in two, and not
only in two. but was divided msnv
