If he couldn't take the watch apart and put it together all right, he would give the boy a stated amount. The boy hesitated and then decided he was perfectly safe in mak- ing the bet, for Henry was sure to lose and the willch was a cheap ome.

By the Associated Press. PALO ALTO, Calif., September 18. —Man'’s nearest approach to the elec- tric pressure of lightning has been at- tained in the new Leland Stanford University Laboratory here with the successful testing of six huge trans- formers generating rhore than 2,100,- 000 volts. In the tests here yesterday, super- vised by Prof. Harris J. Ryan, mark- ing the opening of the laboratory. a group of scientists from all sections of the country witnessed the weird elec- trical display in whic¢h an are of vari- colored flame shot across a 20-foot gap between two electrode plates. The tests began with the laboratory in utter darkness. As hidden gener- ators began their whining roar, faint flickers of light issued from the elec- trode plates.
