"A NOTED British electrical engineer has
said that II is impossible to kill man with
certainty by electricity. Several noted
American experts have said the same
thing, but there must be an impression
that opinions by cable are of greater value.
40 we are treated to this trans atlantic
guess on the matter. At first glance the
opinion seems TO be quite too absurd for
patient hearing, as there have been MANY
Instances In this country, and particularly
in New York, of death following contact
with live wires"
The British expert tries TO dismiss these
incidents as sensational stories, but that
won't do. He would have done better To
explain that though death might result IL
was not certain, and that in many of the
newspapers cases the victim was really
killed by n fall from Il LOFTY pole. Instead
he tells Of valiant pig that withstood the
shock of IA twenty inch electric spark with
out expiring. lie evidently thinks that
people are very like pigs, but we must
protest that even in England there are
many things that might not shock pigs.
but would certainly shock pcople.

PROFESSOR n. j, louDoN, of the Iniyer-
sity oi Toronto, has returned from an OK
Ploratlon OF Labrador, which was under
taken for the purpose of correcting our
geographical notions of that nearby bu,
unknown country. At great peril and
with many hardships no has gained few
iacts that are OF interest and may prove in
remote way to have some practical value.
Labrador is "A huge plateau that is even
more literally strewn with rocks
than New England, and although
In the latitude Of old England, is quite
unht for human habitation, because the
ocean brings no warm current past its
coast. The expedition has shown that the
great lakes of Labrador, some TIVE thousand
feet above the sea, are not SO large AS has
been supposed, although the lake system
Is three hundred miles long and il the
home OF many of the cold waves that come
sweeping down upon MS in mid-wintcr
Snow Is falling in that country now for the
winter begins up there in September, and
the few miserable fishermen along ,hc
coast must get ready for cold that often
registers hity degrees below zero. Labr,-
doris great lake, Mistassini, was Thought to
be the largest in the world, but turns ont
To be only one-third the size of Lake
superior, which is by far the largest body
of fresh water. The Labrador lakes were
full OF fish, but the explorers do not appear
TO nave discovered anything of greater
value. The most curious thing about this
expedition is the proof it gives of how very
little Is known of an immense territory not
lhree hundred miles from Quebec.

West virginians Developing
West Virgfui:a.

West Virginia energy has put its
shoulder to the wheel in one section
of the State, and is in fair way to
make the wilderness blossom as the
rose. The enterprise which is thus
set on foot promises to be long
looked for opportunity to the great
central counties of the State. Sena-
tor Camden is the moving spirit, and
the purpose as briefly outlined by
him is to extend the Weston narrow
gauge railroad from Weston to
Braxton G. 81. Its ultimate destin.
alton is Charleston, thus completing
a north and south line of railroad
through the interior counties.
There is little doubt that the
Braxton extension will be pushed
forward rapidly. Ample assurances
have been given that work will be
begun by April 1, if tho county will
vote a nominal subscription to the
company's stock. Senator Camden
says of it personally:
aft the people of Braxton will
take this matter up and act upon it
promptly, there is no question about
the road being built, and it will be
one of the greatest pleasures of my
life to see it done"
The pathway of the iron horse is
beginning to be dotted with
new business enterprises. Promi-
nent among them is mammoth
saw mill and lumber establishment,
to be located on the Elk River, near
Braxton C. III. Grafton capitalists
are the prime movers in it, large
sums of money have already been
invested, and in a few months the
oak, walnut and poplar,
of hitherto inaccessible mountain
sides, will hear the sing of buzzing
saws, and be sent out as West yir-
ginia's fairest product in the coun-
try's markets.
There is more in such enterprises
than the opening up of a rich ter
ritory- West Virginia brains and
energy are behind them. They
emphasize our power of self -devel-
opment. People who talk indefi-
niteIy about coming booms, rarely
realize the value of pluck and push
in their neighbors; West Virginia
can never become rich unless her
people make her so, and the sooner
they go to work, without waiting
for foreign industry, the better.
When they show the world what
they can do, they will get plenty
of help. The men who are devei-
Oping Braxton county, make their
work double valuably, because they
are West Virginians.-W Wheeling

The assertion has frequently been
made that the title Pine Tree State
has become misnomer for Maine,
and. although there are lots of pine
trees still Standing in the northern
part of the state. there is some ground
for objection to the old time sobriquet.
The statistics of the amount of pine
lumber surveyed at the port of Bangor
yearly show that the cut OF that kind
of timber on the Penobscot las fallen
of from i23, O0O. GOO feet i'll 1858 TO
%. 600. GOO In 1887 In the four years
from 1853 to 1857 there was falling
of in the pine survey of AZ. OO0.OOO
feet, and IN 1877. twenty years later,
pine had got down to 5000. 200 feet
The total survey of pine at this port
from 1855 to 1887, inclusive. was
4, SIG. 900. 600 feet, or considerably less
than onc-half of the spruce survey,
and about three times the cut of hem
lock, juniper. etc. Pine used to lead
all other kinds of lumber. but now
spruce heads the list. In 1855 the pine
survey was 1913, OO0, 600 feet, the spruce
rs, coo, coo feet, but during the war
spruce took the lead. and these two
kinds of lumber gradually changed
places, until now the cut of spruce
averages 120, 600, COO feet, or four times
the output OF pine. Nearly all of our
large near by pine has been cut, and
most OF the logs now driven down the
Penobscot are second growth. There

dian competition in the leading mar
kets it would hardly pay to cut Il and
drive it long distances. Spruce is king
on the Pcnobscot. and all other Maine
rivers now. and this is really more of
a spruce tree state than anything else.

SOmetbinp of n curiostv in IN

Something of a curiosity in the
s.apc of teeth is in the possession of
Major Stuckley, near GerarCIstown.
They were found in n walnut log
that was being sawed by Mr.. SeweIl
Cunningham. They resemble the
teeth of horse or some strange
animal, being about an inch and
half long. The four were close to-
gether and were found near the top
im the center of a solid log. The
log was solid excepting a place
where the teeth were, the saw cut
ting them in two. 1t is a mystery
how the teeth came to be embodied
In the tree. Possibly some animal
lost them in biting into the tree
while it was small.-HdrtinsbuTg

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Criticised and Denounced by a Bran
ham FARMER.
Branham, W. T., Sept. 10. 8!

Branham, W. T., Sept 10, 's9,
Editor HERALD:
The platform adopted by the last
democratic county convention is per-
feet model of demagogic hypocrisy. 1t
was carefully formulated by that ring
master, G. FL. Warner; but revised to
conform with good English by G. S,
Voorhees,, that sincere friend of the
"dear people about election time.
Its first article declares continued hos
tility to monopolies." Ever since the
organization of the democratic party,
which was for the propagation of human
slavery, opposition to monopolies' has
been its battle cry. Calvin s. Brice,
chairman of the democratic executive
committee, is millionaire, and one of
the most oppressive corporationists out
side of England, his native home. More
than that, seven of the twelve members
of the committee, over which he presides,
are also millionaires. What enemies to
monopolies they must be, and what
friends to the ''dear people,, Henry B.
Payne is the democratic q. S. senator
from Ohio, and also president of the
Standard Oil Monopoly; it goes without
saying that in him the 'dear people"
have a bosom friend. His record veri-
fes that. Half the members of the dem
ocratie delegation in congress from New
York are millionaireg, and all of them
are members Of the Tammany Hall
organization, the most notorious cess
pool Of corruption in history; and yet it
is the heart and soul OF the democratic
party, of which Messrs. Warner, Yoor-
hees & Co. are bosses in the Whitman
county field. In the light of all these
truths their declarations of opposition
to monopolies" and friendship for the
"dear people" read like huge jokes.
Can there be produced more disgusting
spectacle Of unauthorized demagogism?
Whether or not the democratic party of
this county will succeed under that ban
ner remains to be seen. It behooves
every lover of truth and justice to cast
his ballot for the suppression of any
party which seeks power through deceit
and intrigue. Farmer friends remember
that every vote cast for democratic
member of the Legislative ticket means
SO much strength added to assist monop-
olies of the most oppressive character.
A FARMER.
