I OH TWATS 1 Jv TIE FLUSH TIMES of the lecture system have passed away," an editorial writer opined In a New York paper In the 1880'a. He recalled that the lecture system was a little over a quarter century old.

"When a novelty It had a tremendous run. Generals, politicians, poets, novelists, exiles, martyrs, travelers and hunters made a business of talking Reaction has set in. Country audiences are satiated with wantonly slain lions and tigers. Paths of travelers are worn threadbare Only old and well established lecturers are now in favor." He mlght've had In mind such a lecturer as Rev. Russell H.

Conwell who talked of Acres of Diamonds 6,000 times; or John B. Gough (evils of drinking). But others continued to be crowd-catchers at lecture halls across the country. The arrival of Oscar Flngall O'Flahertle Wilde, the Dublin-born poet, dramatist and novelist, at New York 88 years ago this week (1-9-1882) as a lecturer on the new aestheticism of the world, proved a soectacu- lar attraction wherever he ap peared. Wilde was a sensation whose costumes (one detail: a sunflower) and flamboyancy were reported extravagantly by a press wnicn declared him "ad mired by gushing young women." Possibly without Wilde's realizing their real Intent, he had been Induced to make the lecture tour of America by ar rangement of the theatrical producers who were to Import the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta.

Patience. This was a burlesque of the aesthetic movement Wilde had founded. Neverthe less, the Wilde garb, fantastic postures, and rude manners became an epidemio among American youths the "hippie" and "flower-child" great-grandparents. He was followed as a lecture-hall magnet by Wiliam Jennings Bryan, whose successive fail ures as a Presidential candidate continued his profitable career as a platform spellbinder In off- election years over two decades.

A battery Is a way of producing electric current. A battery cell changes chemical energy into electrical energy. Part of the chemical energy Is changed into neat -and part of it into an electric current. There are two kinds of battery cells. One is called a primary cell.

The common flashlight battery is an example of this. A primary cell delivers a certain amount of energy for particular period, and then it is thrown away. It cannot be recharged. A secondary cell is really an electrical storage sys- tern. It can be recharged by sending an electric current through it.

The automobile battery is an example of secondary cells. Various chemicals are used in primary cells, but the principle is always the same. In every primary cell there are two different metals or one metal and carbon (called the cell elements, or electrodes). And there is a liquid, calld the electrolyte. One of the elements, called the cathode, is usually zinc.

The other is called the anode and is usually carbon. -Chemical action causes the cathode to dissolve slowly in the electrolyte and set electrons free. When these elc-trons are given a path or circuit through which they can move, they provide an electric current. In order that the current may flow, the elements must be connected by a wire or other electrical conductor. Primary cells are also divided into wet and dry types.

The dry cell Is not really dry, or it wouldn't work. The moisture is held by absorbent material and is sealed in I 1 I IJo 1 1.1,1 mimm ilmfrS ft HERE. 14 WH EM I I iKf tne wax so tnat it will not leak out and the battery will be dry outside.

What's The Law The Case Of The Hying Suitcase Jim was jumpy as he boarded a train and he had good reason. In his hand, he carried a suitcase contain- ing $5,000 in cold hard cash. He was so nervous, in fact, that when he attempted to put the suitcase on a rack over his seat, where he could keep a weathered eye on it, he inadvertently shoved it out of an open window be- low the rack. For a second, Jim looked out of the window in com- plete disbelief. Then, he frantically tried to get the con- ductor to stop the train but to no avail.

It wasn't until the train stopped at the next station, hree miles down the track, that he was finally able to disembark and race back to where he had dumped his suitcase. When he got there, he found that someone else had gotten there first. The money was gone. Furious, Jim sued the railroad company for his loss. "A railroad company has a duty to protect a passen-' ger's luggage as well as it's passengers," he argued in court.

"When my suitcase went flying overboard, the train should have been stopped immediately so that I could have recovered it." "Nonsense," responded the railroad company. "If Jim was nutty enough to throw his suitcase out of the window, it was his fault and not ours." IF YOU WERE THE JUDGE, would you hold the railroad company responsible for Jim's loss? This is how the Judge ruled: Not The judge held that i Jim had no legal right to have the train stopped for the purpose of relieving himself of the consequences of an accident for which the railroad company was not respon- sible. He, and not the railroad company, had custody of his valise. Based upon an 1887 United States Supreme Court De-' cislon. TODAY'S LEGAL POINTER: Acts of lunatics during lucid periods are binding.

At the other table the play began in an identical fashion. West observed, however, that, if he merely permitted nature to take its course, he would end up with two club tricks and one heart on the deal and South would score "a profit.

Therefore, when the deuce of hearts was led at trick four, he followed suit with the eight, concealing the five. When dummy's jack won the trick, South had something to think about. If the hearts were divided three- two it did not matter what declarer did next. If they were four- one, however, then he must1 determine which way to playl the suit. If West has four hearts headed by the ace- ten, a small heart must be led from the dummy next.

West's play of the eight led declarer to believe that East was more apt to have four trumps, and was holding eff the ace in order to steer his opponent off the track. In order to protect himself against a tmmp concentra-j tion on his right, 5ouui con-tinued with the queen of hearts from dummy. If East played the ace and West showed declarer could lead thru the ten five subsequently and pick up the suit. When East showed out, West's subterfuge was re vealed; however, it was too late fo- the declarer, and he was obliged to concede two tricks and a grudging con- gratulation t' a resourceful defender.
