THE GREAT ROUND WORLD only claims to tell its readers what has
happened. The Editor does not profess to be a prophet, and able to
foretell events.

We are glad to answer any questions that we can, but you have given us two
difficult conundrums that we cannot solve. Better luck next time.

INVENTION AND DISCOVERY.


NEW ROAD TO ELECTRICITY.--A paper was read recently before the
New York Electrical Society on the subject of a new method of producing
electricity.

[Illustration]

The discoverer of this process is Mr. Willard E. Case. He has been working
for ten years on this subject, and recently showed the results of his
labors to the scientific men assembled to hear him.

Mr. Case claims that his discovery, when it is worked out to its
conclusion, will mean a new motor or driving force to do the world's work,
in place of steam, and he insists that the new force will be much cheaper
than any now in use.
