 author.

The designs for the tower at W^enibley, Middlesex, which was to rival the Eiffel Tower. Nearly all the towers proposed 

 are of a height of more than 1000 feet, while several are over 2000. The actual construction never got beyond the four 

 great steel legs, which after being an eyesore in the landscape and a left-handeil monument to the late Sir Edwai<l Watkiu 

 were blown up with dynamite as a useless white elephant a few years ago.

An attack on Benjamin Franklin and his one-fluid theory of electricity, as well as on his explanation of the charge and 

 discharge of the Leyden Jar, and propounding a new theory ' based on a variety of new experiments.' It is interesting 

 as remotely anticipating the electro-magnetic theory of light, a passage of the introduction reading : ' The electric fluid 

 is nothing else but the particles which have been diffused from the sun through the diflerent elements of water, 

 earth, and air.'
