BOOK AND COMPLETE OUTFIT FOR SIXTY EXPERIMENTS IN ELECTRICITY....
[Illustration]
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.
