No difference was detected between the sparking distances at the two ends of the cable, nor was any rise of pressure observed when the cables were joined direct on the dynamo. In his opinion the rise was due to some kind of resonance, and would be a maximum for some particular frequency. Mr. Mordey mentioned a peculiar phenomenon observed in the manufacture of his alternators.

These sparkers are looked upon by parents generally as a nuisance, and often they are right. Nine-tenths of the sparking is done by boys who haven't got their growth, and they look so green that it is laughable for old folks to look at them. They haven't generally got a second shirt, and they are no more qualified to get married than a steer is to preach.

When the train glided into the station, with a shrill screeching protest from the sparking wheels and brakes, and when quite a number of persons had alighted and gone their several ways, Dorothy and Nat, who had peered hopefully and anxiously at each passenger, looked rather ruefully at each other. Tavia had not come. "Well?" asked Nat. "Let's wait a little longer," suggested Dorothy.

Faintly, for the distance was great, I could see fresh force upon force rush up and take the places of those who had fallen. Over each of these ends, and along the whole line of the barricade a mist of dancing, diamonded atoms began to rise; sparking, coruscating points of diamond dust that darted and danced. What had once been Lakla's guardians dancing now in the nothingness!

Suddenly, as they were skimming along, there came a cessation of the hum and roar that told of the perfectly-working motor. It was an ominous silence. "What's what's wrong?" gasped Mr. Damon. "Something's given way," answered Tom quickly. "I'm afraid the magneto isn't sparking as it ought to."

"Now look at that," as one huge spark after another exploded from the fire and dropped on the bed and the teepee cover. "How can I help it?" "I'll bet Da's best cow against your jack-knife you got some Ellum or Hemlock in that fire." "Well, I have," Yan admitted, with an air of surrender. "My son," said the Great Chief Woodpecker, "no sparking allowed in the teepee.

The brush, b', is adjusted by bending till it remains in contact with any segment of the commutator for a short time after the other brushes have left contact with that segment, and thus instead of sudden break of circuit and consequent sparking, a resistance is introduced, and contact is not broken until the current has been considerably reduced.

Well, late years the livery men have "got onto the racket," as they say at the church sociables. They have found that horses that know their business are in demand, and so horses are trained for this purpose They are trained on purpose for out door sparking. It is not an uncommon thing to see a young fellow drive up to the house where his girl lives with a team that is just tearing things.

All the accessories in this picture, the gold and silver vessels, the dresses of the three Kings sparking with jewels and pearls, the velvets, silks, and costly furs, are painted with the most exquisite finish and delicacy, and exhibit to us the riches of the court of Burgundy, in which Van Eyck then resided.

"Then your sister will not be deprived of your company just yet," she managed to say, and she seemed to be paying particular attention to the sparking lever. "No," he replied. "Hazel and I are great friends chums, you might say. In fact, I've never had a boy friend with whom I was able to get along so well as I can with my sister." "That's very nice. It's what Jack says about me.
