We owe very much to this restless force We could hardly get along with out 1t. Our cities are built upon its power. Electricity turns the wheels of industry. 1t lights and heats buildings, it turns the wheels to carry us where we want to go, it permits us to talk and send messages over long distances with and without wires, it runs machinery in home and factory and it has become so neces- sary that we could not get along without 1t.
 Yet in spite of all we have found out about electricity all that we have made 1t do and ali that it does for us we do not know what 1t is. We know how to devel- op it. to protect ourselves against it ant to use 1t but 1t continues mystery, ant one of those powerful things which W,

We stood still and we were horror-stricken. Closer. and closer. came the horrible snake, just yard away from us. My friend became very pale. She closed her eyes and dropped upon the grass. She had fainted. In moment the snake was upon her hand. It uncoiled from her hand and was again upon the ground. I took up a big rock and hit the terrible snake upon its head. IL did not die right away but lived a few mo- ments. After saw it no longer moved hurried near my friend to see if she had come to. I took up her hand and saw that the fang of the snake had poisoned her hand. I went to q house in the vicinity and Knocked on the door. told them what had happened. The kind people telephoned for the physician and my friend was brought to the house and taken care of. The physician said the injury was not serious.

An Aerial Bus

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you about an aerial bus. An aerial bus can be made very easily out of four wheels. two steel axles, about three or four wooden boxes for the body and about about half of box of nails.
 It is a lot of fun to have one but they are quite dangerous.
 There is lot of fun attached to if all right If you know how to handle one. for you will get dumped a lot of times. e building one if you have the wheels far apart and narrow body it will tin over easily, but if the body is medium width and the wheels medium distance apar, 1t will be safer and cannot tip over so easily.
 l had experience with one on a hill ir New Jersey. It happened to be on a rainy day when the ground was wet wher went down. l was by myself. A bo, who was always full of mischief gave m, swift shove and got me excited. wal going down so fast for the first time thai l lost control and the racer and mad, three complete somersaults when I hat 1 gone only twenty-five or thirty feet. Well l rather liked this fun in spite o the shaking up and so I thought I woul, go down again.
 So I want down this time with the own CT of it.
 When I went down I had a good rid for we didn't tip over.
 The next day all the boys had race on this same hill They had mum bers on their cars. Only three out a eight dumped over. Number four wo the race because 1t was a heavy tyn and had a small wheel base. l like these aerial busses and hon to build one this summer.

My First Serious Accident

Dear Uncle Jed: During the summer of 1921, while on my vacation. I ex- perienced the most serious accident of my life. It occurred one day while 1 was on picnic with number of persons most of whom were my elders.
 While we were playing a game one of the girls noticed an old horse over in the next field, which I learned later had a habit of kicking, laziiy nibbling the rank grass in the pasture. The rest of the party dared me to ride and as I did not know any better readily
 agreed. We coaxed the horse to us by 1 means of a few Jumps of sugar and the i boys caught and held him while I at- 1 tempted to climb onto his back Just as 1 I WIS about to mount. the horse moved
 from the wall upon which was standing and I missed my step anl fell. The boys backed the horse up to it's former place and after much urging. I tried until at 1 last I did get on. Although I succeeded
 did not stay there long. for suddenly to
 horse began to kick and prance and went flying from his back in such a manner that received a serious sprain l Through my long period of convalescence II vowed repeatedly never to make an at. tempt to ride an animal that was not very well acquainted with.

UNCLE JED's TALK TO wfDrA.
 WAKES

You all know about Benjamin Franklin and what an apostle of thrift he was, how he made humble beginning but posses sed the determination that carries to syc. cess and proved a great benefactor.
 Franklin you will remember. had the idea that lightning and electricity w<.e the same thing and he proved it. Ii was ITO years ago last week, June 15 that he sent up a kite made of silk drinr 2 thunder storm and by it he was abIe to draw enough electricity out of the clouds to get sparks from an iron ring fastened to the hemper cord which form ed the string of his kite. That was the first time electricity had bowed to the yoke-the wild untamable force was har. messed at last. After playing havoc with men for thousands of year it had been caught and what had been thought to be an enemy was proven to be the greatest friend of mankind
 Since then the harhessing of eIectricity has gone on year by year. Every new invention puts it a little more under man; control. It is like a terrible beast held in check by whip and lash, yet ever ready to strike at it's master if there is even a moments carelessness in its handling
