Abstract
THE remarkable development of practical employments of electricity have put the professor of physics at a disadvantage, compared with the electrical engineer. The latter has at his service thousands of electrical horse-power, while the college instructor can barely obtain fifty. The engineer can experiment with enormously strong currents and study their effects in chemical industries, and in the production of intense heat. Thus the study of the manifestations of electricity on a great scale seems to be relegated to the electrical engineer.
