privilege of all Continental officers erate cause, when an attempt to
who had served with honor and re­ build an observation balloon was
signed after three years’ service as made during the siege of the South­
officers, or who had been rendered ern capital. Too poor to buy a bal­
supernumerary and honorably dis­ loon. a patchwork affair was creat­

Electricity
Hard to define in a scientific way
ft can simply be said that electricity
is composed of electrons, the unit of
negative electricity, and protons,
the positive electron. Both units are
so inconceivably small they may
be regarded as mere charges of
energy. To Dr. William Gilbert, who
became physician to Queen Eliza­
beth in 1601, goes the credit of call­
ing that "something” electric. He
originated the term electric as a
name for any substance such as
amber that was stimulated by fric­
tion. "Electric" comes from the
Greek "Elektron.” meaning amber.
This was because Thales, a Greek
philosopher, way back in 600 B. C.,
discovered that a piece of amber
rubbed with cloth possessed the
power of attracting feathers, pieces
of paper and other light bodies.
