STORED ENERGY.-Ever since M

charged with electricity to Sir William
Thompson the Glasgow university
the papers have been speculatingas tt
the wonderful results that are to flov
from this illustration of the storage O

predicts the evolution Of stored electric

mission by electric railroads to all part
of the country; and the N. Y.-Even

scheme as follows: with stor

vast merriment by playing all manner of tricks
upon these artlcss heather. He extracted articles
of every size and shape from their hair noses,
mouths and ears, but the Patagonians remained
strangely composed in the midst of the fun going
on about them. And no wonder, for while the
magician was disengaging massive ornament

French, and american agrIeulturrsts.

Our attention is often called to an anal
Ogous system of land-hol ding established in
France by the Code Napoleon more Than three
quarters Of a century ago. But cngrafted as this
system has been on a people unused TO it and ig-
noT5nt of its effect upon the political economy of
the state, it has not secured those popular advan
tagcs which, in our own country led the eminent
French philosopher, De Tocqueville, TO attrib-
ute TO 1t the stability and vital force
of our institutiOns-a lesson learned here
md not in France. In accurate and economical
farming we may perhaps learn a lesson from
France. In her area of 207,4S0 square miles, not
larger than the largest State in the Union, her pro-
auction Of local and staple crops is enormous
Her wheat crop equals our own. Her cattle and
horses almost reach our number, and her sheep
outnumbers ours. With thrifty population, among
whom wealth is quite generally difftlsed, her re-
IOurccs in war and in peace are unbounGed, and
national vitality is the admiration ofthe civil

IeTity is due to the fact that the people
devote their energies to the cultivation of small

Known to the American farmer is not found.
The American farm house is almost un-
known. The peasantry gather for the
night into crowded towns away from their
lands and go forth by day to till their few outlying
acres. The demands OF the State upon them
are not large. They are seldom overtaxed, except
in time war. They are tempted by none of the
lOnOrs or emoluments OF public service. They as
