Thousands who are employed in various 

 ways with enterprises, the foundations of 

 whic-li are electrical, know nothing of elec- 

 tricity as a science. A friend of mine, who is 

 a professor of physics in one of our colleges, 

 traveling a few years ago, and in his 

 wanderings he came across some sort of a 

 factory where an electric motor was employed. 

 Being on the alert for information, he stepped 

 in and intmdueed himself to the engineer, and 

 began asking him questions about the electric 

 motor of which he had charge. The professor 

 could talk ohm, amperes, and volts smoothly,, 

 and he " fired " some of these electrotechnical 

 names at the engineer. The engineer looked 

 at him blankly and said: "You can't prove it 

 by me. I don't know what you're talking 

 about. All I know is to turn on the juice and 

 let her buz/." How much "juice" is wasted 

 in this (-ut-and-dry world of ours and how

 fairly intelligent regarding the laws of nature! 

 A great deal of the business of this world is 

 run on the "let her buzz" theory, and the 

 public pays for the waste. It will e.mtimie
