ELECTRICAL ENERGY
Did you ever think what a wonder
ful thing electricity is? And yet
nobody know* nor can comprehend
just what it is. We know that the
friction caused by the rubbing of
two bodies tmrether thst a power i*
generated and »uch power we have
named "el*-etricity."
We
have
learned how to harness this power
and apply it In many useful ways.
Yet we know a* little about the
"why" of the matter a* did good
old lien Franklin when he brought
down lightening from the heaven*
on a kite string about 175 year*
ago.
The first application of electricity
to useful nurpose was the discovery
or invention of the magnetic tele
graph in 1X35 by S. F. B. Morse.
Tilegraph ihtvicv had become of
general use on land before the sue-
cewful laying of the Atlantic cable
in 1H66. which connected the new
world with the old. by telegraphic
cable. Since that date no further
development was marie of the elec
tric current to the service of man
until the dosing year* of the last
century, when it wa* discoverer! that
sound wavr* could lie conducted a
long distance up<»n the electrified
wire ani the telephone nsuited and
I* now in use all over the world.
Since that date the rapidity with
which useful applications of the
electric current have been made
almost stun* one.
We now light our street* and
houses with electiicitv, can heat our
houses qr cook a meal, pull train*
of car* or use electric power for
any purpose where power is requir
ed. Now we have learned to dis
pense with the wire to convey mes
sages and wireless telegraph is in
use ail over the world. The dis
abled ship at sea can send out the
S. 0. S. call and thousands of live*
and millions of dollars in property
value* have been and are being sav
ed through our knowledge of and
application of the "wireless " Just
a few day* ago many live* of our
soldiers were saved off the coast of
Ireland, Ix-caum- the wirvleae sum-
mond aid and it wa* promptly given.
The wirelea* telephone i* now in
course of development and will, no
doubt, be *o perfected in a few
month* or years that it will become
of practical use.
Experiments in the use of the
electric current in many fields are
being made and manv useful appli
cations of this subtle agent may be
e spec ted in the future. One man
has reported an increase in the pro
duction of eggs by making the day
appear longer to his barnyard fowls.
Another man reports that the plac
ing of electric wire underground in
hi* garden has stimulated th* growth
»f vegetables. And yet we cannot
