Show Problem in Physics. A native of T.t on the coast of Scot land, when the contract for the building build-ing of the first three steamers fitted with electric lights at the local shipyard ship-yard was completed,, formed one of the social party gathered to entertain - the electricians, says Ideas. In a burst of candor and comradeship, he was heard to 6ay to one of the wire-men: wire-men: "Mou, Peter, efter workin' wi' you on they boats, I believe I could put in the electric licht masel', but there's only one thing that bates me." "Aye, aye, Sandy, what is that?" Inquired his interested friend, willing to help him if it lay in his power. "Weel, mon," replied Sandy, "ti's juist this: I dinna ken hoo yet get the ile tae rin alang the wires." |
