There has been a shocking exposure! of immorality -among the very young of both sexes at Jacksonville this week Before the juvenile court, presided over by Judge Neil, girls in their early teens have shamelessly admitted their depravity, implicating their youthtul companions. As a result, there have been hasty weddings of those .too young to face the responsibilities. of marriage, an exodus of guilty youths to escape prosecution and .the consign ment of girls to the corrective influence of aid societies. This immorality among these children. blossoming into maturity is not confined to one section of the county, but has existed in several localities. The community is not to blame but the home influences arc. Why do girls and boys go Vrong? trated and which are called the poles." Every magnet has two poles and no more. Suspend a magnet 'so it can turn freely and the north pole will always point north and the south pole will point south. Neither can exist without the other, every magnet having a north and south pole, which are of equal power. The precise nature of magnetism is not known. To make it easy for the. layman to understand the conception originated by Faraday is generally employed. Consider ing it in this way a magnet may be said to pour out a sort ot an invisible and powerful thud or effuvian from its poles. This magnetic' force seems to come out of the north force in ordinary.,magiicts flow in a circular route, it has force in ordinar magnets flow in a circular route, it has l)cen shown by experiments that they are always trying to become straight lines. These lines of force dp not travel through the air very easily, but iron and ateel form an easy path for them. ..Therefore they will pass through iron or steel in preference to the air. The attraction or'," pull" of a magnet when it draws a piece of iron or steel is caused bv the efforts of these lines of force "in trying to shorten' themselves. To make a mag net of a piece of iron all that is necessary is to make lines of magnetic force pass thiough it. AVlien a current of elec tricity is flowing along a wire the lines of magnetic force circle about the wire. If this wire was .insulated and wound many times around a bar of soft iron the lines of magnetic force would penetrate the iron and make it a powerful magnet. . Not only can a current of electricity in motion cause magnetism,' but theprocess can be easily reversed. Plac ing the magnetism in motion will cause electrical pressure in the insulated wire and result in a flow of current if a properly connected circuit exists. If a wire is moved so as to cut across the magnet lines of force, a perfectly definite electrical pressure will be set up, depending upon the ve- loeity of the movement, the length of the wire and the: strength of the magnetic; field. If the ends of the wire! are not connected no current will flow; if thev are eon-: Because of neirlect bv parents, because of insufficient! home training, because of a failure to instil virtue in youth-1 nected current will flow and the movement of the wire fill minds. Because mothers do not 'properly teach their "'ill be resisted in proportion to this amount. daughters, and fathers their sons, the responsibilities of life, and budding passions and animal instincts are left to develop unchecked and unbridled, leaving shame and ruin in their path because the victim knew not what they were doing. ' , ' ;,'.. This, in plain English, is the secret of the electric gen erator. To obtain an electric current from magnetism all that is needed is some mechanical contrivance by which a good conductor can be moved in a magnetic field with arrangements tor making contact with and withdrawing. Heredity, education and environment shape human i the current. Such a machine is called an electric gen , destinies. AVe are what we are because of them. Occasion- erator.

Self-control in the evolution of the race has brought us from the animals, and lacking it, we descend to the animal plane verv rap idly. Mothers cannot watch I heir daughters too carefully during the formation and impressionable years, nor fath ers their sons, for the lure of the flesh pots spells the wreckage of human life, and the gilded apples of pleasure, so fair in the distance to the gaze of the young, are embit tered with the poison of the damned.

To fully understand electrical machinery it is neces sary to know a little something about magnets and their relation to electric currents. Kvery child, almost, has played with a permanent mag net, which is nothing more than a piece of steel, shaped like a horseshoe, which has been given the property of magnet ism either by rubbing it on another magnet or by surrounding it with a coil of wire carrying an electric current. When hard steel is magnetised it retains a large portion of its magnetism indefinitely and is then known as a permanent magnet. Soft iron can also be magnetised very powerfully in the same way, but when the exciting cause has been removed the magnetism vanishes. The hardening of the iron seems to give the molecules of the metal the power to retain the magnetism, but why this is so no one can answer. But the permanent and electro-magnets behave alike in all respects. Both will attract and hold iron or steel. Both have two points where the magnetism seems conceu- FIRST ANNUAL REDUCT ION SALE One Week Beginning FRIDAY MAY 14th Latest Novel . . . ties in . . . MILLINERY IS. W. F.
