Fun With Electricity.
Enough of the principles of electricity are brought out to make the book instructive as well as amusing. The experiments are systematically arranged, and make a fascinating science course. No chemicals, no danger.
The book is conversational and not at all "schooly," Harry and Ned being two boys who perform the experiments and talk over the results as they go along.
"The book reads like a story."--"An appropriate present for a boy or girl."--"Intelligent parents will appreciate 'Fun With Electricity.'"--"Very complete, because it contains both book and apparatus."--"There is no end to the fun which a boy or girl can have with this fascinating amusement."

Things A Boy Should Know About Electricity.
This book explains, in simple, straightforward language, many things about electricity; things in which the American boy is intensely interested; things he wants to know; things he should know.
It is free from technical language and rhetorical frills, but it tells how things work, and why they work.
This book does not contain experiments, or tell how to make apparatus; our other books do that. After explaining the simple principles of electricity, it shows how these principles are used and combined to make electricity do every-day work. The following are
It signals without wires.
It drills rock, coal, and teeth.
It cures diseases and kills criminals.
It protects, heats, and ventilates houses.
It photographs the bones of the human body.
It rings church bells and plays church organs.
It lights streets, cars, boats, mines, houses, etc.
It pumps water, cooks food, and fans you while eating.
