What Is Electricity?

THE paradox of modern science Is
furnished by electricity. In no
other department of science has prog
r'ess in the matter of application been
30 great. a nd yet experts acknowledge
that what they now know with re-
spect to the true nature of electricity
is less than what they professed to
know more than quarter Of a cen
fury ago.
An eminent scientist said not long
ago: NO man knows what electricity
is" Another authority, Houston. de-
fines electricity as the name given
to the unknown thing. matter or
force, or both, which is the cause Of
electric phenomena"
Thirty years or so ago the text
books on physics attempted to give a
clear definition of positive electricity
and negative electricity. The defini-
ton today Of positive electricity is,
"One of the phases of electric excite
electricity liz the same. except that the
word electrical Ia used instead of
"electric"-both meaning the same
thing.
The intimate connection between
electricity and light is well known,
but the knowledge seems only to
make the true nature of electricity
more mysterious than ever.
Yet electricity has come to he a
matter OF force, or BOTH that Is al
most indispensa BILE In the daily life
of the civilized world. The unknown

Five-Man Defense
in Basket Ball.

To win basket ball games a team
must, of course. prevent opponents
| from scoring. No haphazard defense
is ever successful. A definite system
must be adopted so that every man
will know when the opponents have
the ball.
The Five Man Defense has proved
SO superior over all others that it is
being used by most leading college
teams, and each year brings new
converts to the style. 1t makes
every man directly responsible for
the man he lis playing against. There
can be no excuse If a goal Is scored.
His man made the goal, and he alone
is responsible.
The working of the five-fnan de-
Tense is simple. The moment the OPP
posing team secures possession of the
ball every man should drop back to
the center of the floor Immediately.
Do not hesitate an instant, but drop.
back at once. Then, from. this posi-
ton, look for your man. OF course
II he is close to your basket, you go
to him and not to the center of the
floor.
The team lined up across the CEN
ter of the floor, each man watches
his own man. AS the opponent
crosses the center of the floor, his
man goes with him, always keeping
between him and the, goal. In this
manner every opponent Is guarded
as he gets within scoring distance
Always wait for him to cross the
center of the floor. Never meet him
beyond the center. No matter how
much they pass the ball, or how long
they hold the ball, just stand there
and wait until they come to you.
This may be varied only If the OPP
posing team is ahead and there are
but a few minutes to go. Then you
may advance into their territory and
try rto get the ball so that you.
team may score. Never walt for
them near your own foul line. They,
are too near your goal by the time
you reach them, and a long shot
would give them a good chance TO
score.
However be. sure above all. to
keen between them and the basket,
because once man gets ahead or
you he cannot be stopped without
| fouling. So pick your man the min
ute your team loses the ball ana
keep so close to him that should ne
| get the ball you could close in on
| him and prevent him from shooting
| or passing. In this way the whole
| opposing team VIII be guarded ana

ming whatever. Sometimes there is
an enormous sash OF the material or
perchance large artificial hower at

There is very little differences In
skirt lengths. To be sure, the very
short skirt Is perhaps less seldom
seen. This indicates rather the fact
that the fairly short skirt has become
firmly established, at least for the
present. than that really longer skirts
are coming back. The very long
skirts seen on some Of the new French
period frocks have led some observers
TO believe that Paris was leading the

Closing prices we're as follows:

Cool weather reports sent wheat
