WHAT HE WAS DOING. Two young Louisville clerks, baring a day off, each hired a bicycle and took a spin in the country. Ten in i s fmm town the cyclists decided tt haw a raco. One distanced the oth. r f-orne 3UU yards and was rejoit mg in his victory, when, in turning a had corner ho collapsed over a heap r.f stones. The wheel was denWiPhod and tlie rider was irretrievably mixed among tho spokes. An aged woman, who happened to be passing, was mot at a turn in the road by clerk Xo, 2. "My good woman," said hp, "have you seen a young man on a bicycle around here?" "I have not," she answered, simply; "but I saw a young man up the road a ways, who was sitting on tho bank, monding umbrellas." AMERICAN IN LONDON. j

it causes matter to cive out. tho at
traction that it causes " certain substances to exert, and so .on. To tho man in the street, therefore, matter is familiar, and he demands a state
ment of the latter in terms, of the former, illogical though this may be. After the scientist has stated all this the reply comes back, 'Tes, I understand all that, and it ia most clear, I am sure, but tell me, then, what ia electricity- anvwnv?" :
Another source of confusion to the lay mind is that scientific men 1 do not always use the word "elec-1 tricity" to mean the same thing.' The engineer often employs it to. express the thing that tho theoretical electrician calls "electric ener-, m. i
BJ" j To find the energy of electricity that is, its ability to do work j the electrician multiplies the quan-; tity of electricity by tho potential, or tension under which it exists.. But to the engineer this product itself measures the thing that ho calls "electricity' j The work that a nound of wntor,
may do by falling a foot is one foot pound. The water is the same after falling as before, though its energy is less. So to tho electrician a
quantity of electricity at 10O olt3
is precisely the same as at on volt,

This difference in meaning causes
tnousanus or disputes among stu

energy," says one, "just like light 1 1 AI ... a

disputant is talking about fhe electricity of the physical and the.other about that of the engineer; hence
tneir dispute is merely a matter of definition, though they do not know
