[Bows to LADY AGATHA.]
DUCHESS OF BERWICK. Dear Mr. Hopper, how nice of you to come so

while the current which generated them was called the inducing
current. It was immediately proved that the current generated at
making the circuit was always opposed in direction to its generator,
while that developed on the rupture of the circuit coincided in
direction with the inducing current. It appeared as if the current
on its first rush through the primary wire sought a purchase in the
secondary one, and, by a kind of kick, impelled backward through the
latter an electric wave, which subsided as soon as the primary
current was fully established.
Faraday, for a time, believed that the secondary wire, though

She now stands upright with her back slightly arched,
which makes the hair appear rather rough, but it does not bristle;
