conductivity with every varying condition
of light or shade under which it may be
placed. So sensitive is it that the least
change in the surrounding temperature
will make an appreciable difference in its
capacity for transmitting a current. Do-

It Was discovered by Bcrzelius in 1817,

Smith discovered that it changed its resist—

was the first to remove this phase of tho

her victim in the window, with the sign
"Ticket Age " over it. Flounclng up to
the window, ah began the attack.
"What time it?” she snapped in a
tone that caused the ticket seller to drop
some papers and assume a defensive atti~
tudc.
“Sinc-onccxactly, madam,” was his re-
ply, delivered in a firm tone.
“Are we in lime for the ii: iii train?"
“Oll,_ you, nuulmn ”
“Thanks. The reason I asked was be-
cause i did not know whether the time
table meant the train left from here or the
other side of the ferry. You know time p
tables are so unreliable unless you get new
ones right along, and the one we looked
at was one we had Inst year, So we were

There were eight nu-n in tholiuc now,

glanced over the new time table and was

“To Long Branch."
“Do you want a single nrcxrursion?”
