1 0 Conway in Years Gone By. Dr Williams as Lord Chancellor. ARTICLE IV. In our last article Lord Chance-llor Williams was left at the very top of the ladder of fame. It will now be interesting to follow his move- ments on his attainment to so high an office. When Dr Williams was appointed Keeper of Britain's Great Seal, he was only 40 years of age. It will thus be seen that his progress had been one of singular brilliancy. Indeed, it is very doubtful whe.her a Welshman—or any member of any other nation, for that matter- ever succeeded so well under circumstances wh ch every one will admit were not favour- able. In the same month as he was chosen Lord Chancellor-the 10th November, 1621—Dr Wil- liams was elected Bishop of L.ncoln, and, as the pecuniary value of this appo ntment was but small, whilst the expenses of his high office were large, he was a,lowed to keep all the old positions wh ch he formerly held. D.rectly after his elevation he set himself in- dustriously to the work of adapting h:s abilities to his social status and his new work—a work for which he wias not, of course, quite prepared to take up :n view of his studies in matters cler- ical. Gifted, however, w-th such marvellous energy and an intellect so rare, Dr Williams was not lon:g in doing fuH justice to the country and himself. On making his first official appeariance in his new position, Dr Williams refrained from the pompous display which such an occasion had hitherto been characterised with, his sole com- pan'ons being a few of his subordinate officers. Inste_ad of proceeding to the great chamber by the usual route, he walked through the precincts of the old monastery, and as he passed through Henry the VII's chapel, he fe::l upon his knees and prayed with great earnestness for about a quarter of an hour. Then he entered the Coun. c:l Chamber with the solemnity of a man who felt heartily the responsibility of his position. A huge assembly awaited his arrival, and his address to them was marked, with sound com- mon sense and learning. Parliament met shortly afterwards, and his labours so materially increased that he had scarce time for food .and sleep. Between his work upon the Council and in Parliament he was all but constantly at work from six in the morning until two or three o'clock on the follow- ing morning. Nevertheless he performed his duties w:th exceptional ability. He always quashed over-ganrulous solicitors, and when he gave his decisions there was never an occasion when there was the least objection made to his good judgment. Again, in Parliament his speeches were so brimful of eloquence. and wis- dom that there wias rarely a case where his state- ments and views were questioned, whilst his legal decisions were never doubted. Remarkable Fact. In this way this worthy Welshman proceeded with Irs life work, performing the dual offices of such eminently important positions with a tact and wisdom remarkable in the first degree. One of the most difficult of his tasks was the siafeguarding in an equal degree of the interests of his Sovereign and the people under His Ma- jesty's rule. It was, of course, the Lord Chan- cellor's duty to see that justice was meted out to both King and people, and this he succeeded to do so well that h:5 talents and abi'ities won the hearts of King and subjects .alike, this natur- ally bringing in its train a venomous jealousy on the part of a number of his brother state offi- cials. Lord Cranfield—then one of the lords of the Treasury—was one of those who entertained this latter sentiment towards the clever Welsh- man. Lord Chancellor Williams had occasion at one time to adjudicate on a point wherein Lord Cranfield was much interested, and, the result being against him, he swore eternal en- mity aga"n-,t the Chancellor. With the despic- able intention of dethroning Williams, lie col- lected a number of slanderous allegations aga:nst him, but the chancellor was not long in 'giving his enemy the lie, and soon afterwards Cranfield himself fell i-nlc) the net, the Govern- ment unseating him, and he was finally impris- oned in the White Tower—an event wh'ch took place in May, 1624. But the Chancellor's great- est enemy was the Duke of Buckingham—a man to whom he had proved himself a friend indeed. A very fickle be:ng, his Grace would one day express the greatest possible fondness for the Welshman, whilst on the next he would harbour an enmity equally pronounced against him. The Chancellor was partial to teUing the Duke his faults, and his aptness to caution him against his many l'ttle weaknesses eventually created in the ducal bosom a feeling of intense hatred to- wards the man who p'ayed the part of a friend so pract:cally. As the Duke he'd considerable influence. with the King, the Chancellor was in no little danger, but, despite all his Grace could do, his Majesty was too well-informed as to W 1- liams's abilities to be deceived, whilst his per- sonal attachment to his good servant was of such a nature that it would take a great deal to sever it. Unfortunately, however, King James did not live much longer. At the beginning of 1625 his state of health was far from satisfactory, and wit'h a view to recuperating it, he moved to Theobalds. The change of air did not prove of any benefit, and on the 22nd of March the Lord Chancellor received a letter announcing that his Majesty's condition was critical. His lordship, on hearing this, forthwith hastened to h's King's bedside, land, very soon after his arrival there, his was the unpleasant duty of shutting King James's eyes after death had really assumed the upper hand. His Majesty d;ed at Theobalds on the 27th March, 1625, and his mortal remains were interred at Westminster. The Lord Chan- cellor, in his capacity as Bishop, preached the funeral sermon from the 2nd Corinthians ix., 29-31, and the sermon was subsequently issued from the Press under the title of "The Solomon of Great Britain." King jai-nes,s son was then crowned King- under the name of Charles 1. The Duke of Buckingham was as much a favourite with Charles as he had been with his royal father, but King Charles had little, if any, respect for the Lord Chancellor, as will be soon apparent to the reader.

Electricity.
Electricity. Its Discovery and its Uses. [Being a Paper read before the members of the Abergele Mutual Improvement Society. By Mr. Ellis.] ELECTRICITY, la part of natural philosophy, is a powerful physical agent, which manifests itself mainly by attractions and repulsions, latent in all bodies, and first evolved by fr-ction, and also manifests itself under certain conditions by bri-liant flashes of light, or when in contact with human beings or animals, in nervous shocks more or less violent. It is of two k.nds, positive and negative, and as such exh. bits itself in the polarity of magnets, when it is called magnetic, and when excited by chemical action it is known as voltaic. Its name was connived in the 16th century by William Gilbert, and was derived from electron, the Greek name of amber. Am- ber becomes negatively electric by friction, and possesses this property in a very high degree. In 1790 Galvani discovered the flow of elec- tricity, through an observation he made on the limb of a frog, when he found th'at, touched sim- ultaneously by two different metals in contact, it was convulsed exactly as if subject to an elec- tric shock. Volta following up this observation, discovered in 1800 a new source of electric mo- tive source, which could sustain an electric cur- rent through a conductor for a lengthened period of time. From th-s dates the development of galvan-c a.nd voltaic current electricity. The phenomena of discharge rare usually divided into physiological, luminous, mechanical, magnetic, and chemical effects. Physiological effects are those produced on living beings, or on those recently deprived of life. Abbe Nolled discharged electricity by means of a leyden jar through an entire regiment of 1,500 men, all of whom received a violent shock in the arms and shoulders. Luminous effects are in all cases due to the combustion of the two fluids, positive and nega- tive. Mechanical effects are the violent lacerations, fractures, and sudden expansions which ensue when a powerful discharge is passed through a body conducting substance. Chemical effects are the decomposition and recombinations effected by the passage of the electrical discharge. Electric sparks passed through damp air, its volume diminishes, and if blue litmus is introduced into the vessel it be- comes reddened. A Peculiar Fact. Magnetic effects. By discharges of a battery, a steei wire may be magnetised. It is a peculiar fact that a horse is more susceptible to an elec- tric shock than a human be,ng. A strong man feels the effect of a shock more than a weak man, because a man who is fully developed has his muscies in a state of activity or strength, and the extra strain of the shock causes contraction to such an enormous extent as to prevent the muscles of the heart from working therefore, it naturally follows that the person who is not fully develolped would not experience the same severe contraction in respect to the muscular system. There are many materials which will not con- duct electricity, such as silk, resin, glass, oils, wool, gutta-percha, ebonite, sulphur, and others. These are called insulators. Silver, copper, ialli- min.um, water, the body, and others offering little resistance to the flow of electricity, these are good conductors, silver being the best con- ductor. Iron has a specific res-stance six times as great as silver, and mercury 62 times as great, but it would not do to use silver for cables owing to. the expense copper is, therefore, used, being the next best of the conductors. Electricity moves in an aerial wire at a speed of 22,375 miles per hour. The electricity of the atmosphere is mostly positive, and that of the earth has always been found to be negative. Identity of thunder and lightning. There are three kinds of lightning. Forked 1 glitning is due to certain portions of the atmosphere offering great resistance; there- fore, it takes the path of least resistance, which causes the irregvrar-shaped light. Sheet lightening is merely the illumination of the cloud where the flash occurs, it is also. called heat and summer lightning, when the' whole horizen is illuminated by flashes so far distant that the thunder cannot be heard. Globular lightning is a very rare form in which globes of fire travel slowly, and then ex. plode wiih sudden vio'ence. Electricity has been found to be exactly like lightning and its crackling to resemble that of thunder on a smaller scale. In June, 1752, Franklin, an electrician, flew a kite provided with a melalic point, in a field during stormy weather. The kite was flown with ord-nary pack thread, at the end of which Franklin attached a key, and to the key a silk cord in order to insulate the apparatus. He then fixed the silk cord to a tree, and having presented his hand to the key expecting a charge, at first he obtained no spark, and was then beginning to despair of success, when ra'n having fallen, the cord became a good conductor, and a spark piassed. That proves that electrical apparatus should always be kept dry, owing to water being a good conductor. First Introduction of Electric Light. The earliest means of .applying current for the production of light was in 1810, by Sir Humphrey Davy, who found, that when two points of two carbon rods (to wh ch the terminals of a power- ful battery were connected), were brought into contact, and then drawn a little way 'apart, the current continued across the gap, forming an electrical arc, which was brilliantly luminous. The space between the carbon points being filled with a sort of flame, or clouds of particles of white hot carbon. It was not until the develope- ment of the dynamo as a means of producing electric current on a large scale economically, that electr'c light came to be of commercial inr- portance, and was not brought to a practical is- sue until 1879, when Edison and Swan made lamps from which the air was exhausted as com- pletely as possible. Arc lamps are (lerivers for holding carbon rods. Generally the carbons (which are round) are fixed in a vertical line. The downward motion of the upper carbon is checked with mechanism, and descends little by little, on'v when the distance between the two carbons becomes great. Electric light is a brilliant light due to posi- tive and negative currents rushing together be- tween two po:nt-, of carbon, or to the extense heat in a solid body caused by an electric current passing through it. 1,000 cubic feet of gas equals 11 in light six electrcity units. Gas and electric ty are equal in cost, when electricty is 6d per unit and gas 35 per 1,000 cubic ft. Gas at 2S per 1,000 cubic ft. represents elec- tricity at 4d per unit. Gas at 2s 6d per 1,000 cubic ft. represents Elec- tricity at 5d per unit. Gas at 46 per 1,000 cubic ft. represents elec- tricity at 8d per unit. The actual charge varies from 4d to 8d per unit, but 8d is the maximum fixed by the Board of Trade, while the cost of producing electric light averages about 5d per unit, and even go-es as low as 29id per unit, but 6d per unit may be taken as. the average cost to the consumers. On this basis the cost to the consumer is about one- fifth of a penny per hour for every such lamp he has lit. One Idlowatt or 1,000 watts- suppres a lamp of ten candle power for 33.3 'hours, or 333 candle hours. The volt is the unit of electrical pressure for electro motive force. The usual pressure at which electricity is supplied to con- sumers is 100 volts. The Board of Trade de. fines the limits of Low pressure 300 volts. High pressure 3000 volts. Extra high pressure .Above 3000 volts. The Ampere is the unit of current. The usual 2,000 candle power arc lamps, require ten am- peres 'at 48 volts. To-day many of the cities of America. and the Continent are illuminated, and have their factories illuminated, and trams worked by elec- tric power generated by cataracts 20 to 100 miles away. Electricity will probably be the master- key that will unlock many mysteries, and give man still greater power over nature than he now possesses. (To be continued.) ——+

■.■ The Marquis of Anglesey…
■ The Marquis of Anglesey and his Motor Car. Interesting Discussion at the Carnarvon- I shire Police Court Committee. I ON Friday last, at the Carnarvonshire Joint Police Committee meeting, an interesting dis- cussion took place during the consideration of the Chief-Constable's report. Mr J R. Pritchard said that there was one very important omission from the report. They had seen a great deal about the matter in the newpaper, and he should like to call attention to it. He was referring to certain cases in which parties had been summoned to appear before the I Bangor magistrates. (Hear, hear ) He was going to refer to the action of the police, and would not I say a word of the action of the magistrates. He understood from the reports in the papers that a summons, or two summonses, had been issued against the Marquis of Anglesey for furiously driving a motor car, and he wanted to know what was the reason that that summons was with- drawn. (Hear, hear.) The same day, there was a summons against a little child, nine years of ase, and small for his age, for throwing stones. His advocate asked that the summons against him be wi'hdrawn on the same gronnds as that against the Marquis of Anglesey had been with- drawn, but the police said that the prosecution would have amoral influence, and refused to with- draw the summons in that case. (Laughter.) In the case against the Marquis, however, they were quite willing to withdraw. He felt that they should be very jealous of the honour of. their police force, and they should get a satisfactory reason why one case was proceeded with and the other not. What the public said was that one case was a case against a man of wealth, who had a quarter of a million's worth of diamonds which he sported in local theatres, while the other was a case against a poor little boy. (Hear, hear) Equal justice should be dealt to all, and actions like this tended to bring police prosecutions into contempt before the country. (Hear, hear.) He considered that the committee should have a r .)ply from the Chief-Constable with reference to this matter. (Applause.) The Chief-Constable said that the facts as stated by Mr Pritchard were not correct. The police were not applied to to withdraw, and did not assent as Mr Pritchard had said they did. It was done by the direction of the magistrates only. Mr J. Jones Morris asked why did not the police see that the case against the Marquis of Anglesey was called on in the proper course. The magistrates had no right to order the with- drawal of the summons. Mr J. R. Pritchard maintained that these two cases were not treated alike. That was his point. The Chairman I am afraid we must leave the matter alon*. Mr J. R. Pritchard I regret that the Chief- Constable has taken any responsibility in the matter. The Chief-Constable said that he had taken no responsibility for what had occurred. He had merely stated what took place. The Rev Ceidiog Roberts said that he under- stood that a case had recently been brought against a policeman for assault at Bethesda. The case was tried before the Bangor magistrates and the summons was dismissed. He would like to know whether the Chief-Constable proposed taking further action in the matter. The Chief-Constable said that lie did not pro- pose to take any further action. The magistrates were unable to agree, and he had done nothing except removing the constable to another district, which he thought advisable under the circum- stances Mr D. P. Williams asked whether the cise was dismissed because the magistrates were divided. Mr John Hughes (one of the Bangor magis- trates) said they did not come to a decision be- cause they were divided. The real result was that it was open to bring on an action again. Mr Thomas Lewis (another Bangor magistrate) said that there was no chance of their arriving at a decision. What WAB there to be done but to dismiss the case ? Mr J. R. Pritchard said that the magistrates had taken some trouble to explaiu their position with regard to this matter. Would they explaiu it as to the other case Mr Thomas Lewis No, no. A Member: Of course not. (Laughter.)
