A MARVELLOUS STORY“The slorv of a hundred years of oiectrieai engineering ilius imperfectly outlined is indeed an astonishing tale. The work of the electrical engineer has been to annihilate space and time, to tap fresh and immense sources of power, and to neutralise the results of the eoiieeiitraiion of population in great cities, ami t > meet the demands for more light, transport and news. His benefactions to humanity have i been immeasurable in value. No genera! strike on the very largest scale | could inflict a title of the damage which would result il the work of the electrical engineer during the last century were withdrawn or undone. The electric current is now our potent and obedient servant, and though its 0111poyment, like that of all the great energies of Nature is fraught with danger. yet by n scietitie study of its laws we have been able to control its use for the benefit and convenience of mankind.”—Professor J. A. Fleming.
