Gambling at the race tracks could not continue _ had not the big race-track gamblers induced the Legislature to pass-a bill "tolerating them. In Iike manner gambling in stocks and bonds could not go on with- ‘out political tolerance. When Mr. Harriman contributed $50,000 to elect Gov. Higgins his act was akin to the contributions of smaller gamblers to. the Tammany district fund for the election of an Alderman or an ‘Assemblyman.

Wlectrictty when at rest # not of the suigtriest use to mankind, but electricity in motion has many uses. Bome authorities regard the electric otirrent as a flow of electricity inside the substance of the wire, fiowing in ane Girection only, namely from the part called the positive terminal to the part called the negative terminal. Others re gard the current as consisting of two movements going on ef the tm came sorhething ealled positive sleotricity flowing tn one direction along the wtre an equal quantity of someting called negative élestricity flows Girection. Another hypothesis te thet the current consists solely of minute electrical etemms called “electrons,” atoms of negative electricity, flowing through the substance of the copper wire from the negative to positive terminal, thet ts, im the opposite direction to tat assigned tn the usual conventions of writers on éleo- triuity.
