Few boys could acquire more knowledge of electricity from text-books than from this story of the adventures of three boys who formed a club to amuse themselves in learning the use of electricity. Novel experiments are described, including the making and operation of a small wireless telegraph. The boys are of that jolly, active, self-reliant type, and every wide-awake boy will find this a fascinating and instructive story.
