and Arthur Greene. It seems that these fellows had formed a colossal electric company. They were running the whole city by electricity. Their furtive brains had carried them so far that by applying to them they would furnish one sufficient currants to satisfy one's appetite for a whole week. Although they were sued about once a month by persons who had been '-' hit by an electric current, and although they lost a great deal of money by employing fellows who had taken their course in our school, but who had been in the class of '90, yet, notwithstanding these great expenses, they were as thriving as the best company in town.

The figure, who had been quietly gazing with me toward the hre, now bent forward and stirred the embers with his cane. Immediately there arose from the fire dense fumes of dihydricpotasichypophosphite.

Then, with a smile that bore in it all the goodwill and hearty wishes that such geniuses are wont to give, he faded, as mysteriously as he had come, into thin airf' He left me reclining in my chair with a brain that was really Working for once, and its labor was to present these various scenes in the order of their appearance. And so I have endeavored to follow the exact course that the mystic apparition has presented. 115
