You soe suoi people standina around expecting compassion and a life from some who have succeeded. Rut this Is not the way suocess last- tained. That comes by working for it, by being worthy of it, by doing one's best, if it comes at all. The world is full of failures because a man hangs hack and depends upon others. Efficleacy is the geealast word in the language, Then is no real 'progress, without it. And what does efficiency consist of? Of sobriety, honesty, dili- gence, patience, happinese, unselfish- ness, good habits said putting in full time. Of ,couree a man •can get rich by not caring for these. Ile can gamble, eteal, defraud, pad payrolls and ex- pense bills, borrow money and never pay. But euch riches don't last. They arca) a man pretty hard finally. 4he only way is .to start out in the world and do ones best without wale ing to see whet ethers do.

The slight danger that fireinel run through the eleetric eurrent passing groin heavily Charged wires up the Streant of water they are squirting is proved by an experiment conducted by figo Tartaglini and repoited ,in La Sclenza per WU!. A 'trolley car wire.charged with a, di- rect current of 520 volthad one end grounded; on the other end he directed a stream from it hose with it nozzle fif- teen millimeters in -diameter. At 2.20 meters clistence it voltmeter attabhed to the nozzle registered twenty volts. At sixty-five centimeters distance it registered seventy 'volts and at twenty centimeters 210 volts. The average man can stand a, cerrent of fifty volts evitliout serious shock, so et firernaa who holds his nozzle five or six feet from a. live wire rues no great danger. Mr. Tartaglani made the same ex- periment on two lines of alternating current, one with 2,300, the other with 4,600 volts, end the voltmeter die not register any current in the stream Of water, although a, slight shook was per- ceptible when he put his liana into it With a eheinleal extinguisher he got a current of 1,550 volts at 225 millime- ters from a wire with a current of 2,050 voles.
