Electricity is so ly utilized, whenever it is available, that it is becoming a servant in the affa'rs of daily life in so many dif- ferent ways and so Insidiously that many people are scarcely aware of its practical uses in their own affairs.

While the clerk was engaged in the work the lad- der in some way slipped a few inches, and in order to save himself the young man threw up his arm, bringing a steel screw- eriver which he had in that hand against two points in the switch. Instantly there was a blinding flash of light, followed by sparks on the wire. An alarm was turned in from the near- est box, but the engines were not needed.
