u%le-twice each week. To this arrange
ment the Clio people demur and are en-
deavoring to secures daily service. They

ITS PROSPERITY WAVED.
Effect in New York State Of the Collapse of q
Building and Loan Association.

New YORK, Feb. THE Times says: The
officers of the building and lOan associa-
tions of this city and Brooklyn believe the
collapse of the American Building and
Loan Association. whose headquarters are
in Minneapolis. is the beginning of the end
of all the national building and loan asso-
Citations throughout the United States.
The American Building and Loan Associa-
tion was started in the spring of 1888, and
soon encountered an unexpected tidal wave
of prosperity that put plenty of money into
the pockets of it's managers. Last June
the president of the association, in an ad-
dress at the annual meeting, declared that
its growth was "the most remarkable and
stupendOus in financial history anywhere"
The association established agencies in
various parts of the country, including one
In Buffalo and one in this city. Its work.
ings were in many respects directly op-
posite to those of local building and loan
associations, and they soon began an active
warfare against ii and all other national
building and loan associations in general,
charging them with being huge swindling
concerns.
A dispatch from Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
says: A prominent citizen of this city said
yesterday that we'll known P~oughkeepsians
have, In the aggregate, invested about S40,-
600 in the American Building and Loan AS
ISOLATION of Minneapolis, and that the
amount invested in other towns and cities
in the Hudson river valley will run the
grand total to several hundred thousand
dollars.

a young man and his best girl got into a
Tfhrd-avenue Il" car last evening ut the
Fifth = third = street station, and looked
around for a seat. 1t was just about the
time that the people were going to the the
alter. and the car was crowded.
There were two seats down by the door,
however, at which the Young couple had
entered. One was on either side of a musi-
clan in uniform. The young man put his
sweetheart in the nearer seat at once. and
then stopped and asked the musician
to take the one beyond him. The fellow
never moved, looked up or answered. He
attracted the attention of the persons in
that end of the car, and their looks and
whispers reused the rest of the passengers.
All eyes were directed at the young man
standing in front of his girl and holding on
by a strap and the musician sitting sullen-
his lap. The girl was smiling, n blush
ing, and gazing at the young man out of a
pair of beautiful blue eyes In a manner that
might compensate him for any amount of
hardship encountered in her behalf.
She was q very pretty girl, with teeth as
white as snow, and there were many men
in the car who would be glad to have a
chance to hold on by a strap for her sake.
Her little hands were folded modestly in
her lap and a pair of patent leather tipped
toe CATERS peeped from beneath her dra-
peries. He was q lucky young man. though
he wasn't quite comfortable, as he saw he
was occupying the attention of the whole
car. He looked back unutterable love, of
course. on the fair maiden as he hung on by
the strap, and presently. as if shocked by
the same impulse, three men went over to
the instrumentalist.
Get up" they said between their teeth,
as If with one voice, and the musician rose
enough to get free o. the division and
dropped heavily into the next seat. The
pearest man of the three mOtioned the
young man to the empty seat. He thanked
them and took il. The girl bowed, and a
barely audible Thank you!" escaped her
ruby lips. The three men took off their
hats to her and returned to their places,
greeted by the plaudits of the car.

SINGERS FAvORITE DAUGHTER.
Romantic Incidents in the Life Just Ended Of
Alice, the Sewing Machine Mans Child.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA life full of romance
was ended when Mrs. NJ. Lagrove died. a
few days ago. at her home. No. 1853 Pacific
street, Brooklyn. of heart failure. She was
th~irty-eight years old. She was the daugh-
ter of the late Isaac Singer, the millionaire
sewiDg-machine man. Mr.. Singer had at
various times several wives by whom he
had many children. Alice was the favored
one. Nh. Singer had her educated In Paris,
where. at the age of eighteen, she became
the pride of Partisan society. This was
not alone because of her fathers wealth,
but on account of her beauty and charm
ing tanners Ayear following her debut
in society. to please her father. she married
w. A. p. Lagrove, a man twice her age,
whose hair was tinged with gray. 1t was
a characteristic French marriage, the
parents making the match. The young
girl had no choice whatever. except agree
ing to the marriage at the altar. The diff
ference in age between the bride and groom
soon became felt. and shortly after the two
came to this country a snit for separation
ensued. followed by an action for absolute
divorce, decided in the woman's favor. In
the meantime Mr.. Singer had died. The
somewhat peculiar nature of his several
marriages had become q matter for the
courts to decide. The litigation ended In
the children being declared legitimate. and
the manufacturers millions were divided
among them. Alice becameimmensely rich.
Soon after her divorce Mrs. Lagrove be-
came fascinated with the stage to such an
extent that she desired to star, and she did
star with a company Of her own. She tired
of this, but not until she had met Frank
Bangs. the actor. for whom she
formed n strong attachment. When
she left the stage Bangs be-
came more attentive To her. and after a
years cOurtship they, at 8 o'clock at night,
rang the dOor-bel of the late Henry Ward
Beecher, on Columbia Heights, and asked
him to marry them. They took the mid
night train for Philadelphia. having tele-
graphed for apartments at a hotel. The
honeymoon was q very brief one, for the
next mornings express from Philadelphia
to New York was carrying Mrs. Bangs with
all speed to her hOme in Brooklyn, with the
determination of having her marriage with
Bangs annulled on an unusual ground.
The suit was subsequently brought. and,
Bangs putting in no defense, was decided
in the wOman's favor. Since then Mrs.
LagrOve, az she called herself after being
divorced from Bangs. has been living a
quiet life in Brooklyn. She leaves. aside
from a large estate, sixty of her stage cos
tunes. with jewels valued at 800, 0OO.
Frank Bangs, who played such a singular
part i'm the wOman's life, is lying at the

THE EARTH A GREAT DYNAMO.
An Interesting Argument Advanced by .
Metaliursicai Engineer.

An Interesting Argument Advanced by .
Metaliursicai Engineer.
Jacob Reese, in Philadelphia Inquirer.
The earth is a great dynamo, revolving
around its axis at a ~peripherical velocity at
an hour-a much higher speed than is at
tanned by any dynamo made by man. BY
virtue of the dynamic action of the earth
electricity is drawn into 1t. And as the
dynamic action is largely due to it's velocity,
equator, the dynamic effect will be greatest
at that point. Hence, the greatest amount
of electricity will be drawn to the earth at
the equator and the least at the poles.
Temperature being the measure of molec-
ular activity las weight Is the measure of
matter), the temperature will be highest at
the equator, because the molecular activity
is greatest at that point. and so the temper
ature will be less and less as we pass from
the equator toward che north or south
grows less and the dynamic action is
diminished. The phenomena we cell sun
rays are produced by the electric currents
drawn to the earth by its dynamic action.
Matter per Sc is im~ponderable and inert;
1t is endowed with energy By the phys
ical forces. and is thus made electrical.
The different elementary bodies are en-
dowed with energy IN different
degrees, hence they vary in
their electric capacity: The phenomena
VI aha ~ ~ OouoNN
by the dynamic action of the earth draw
ing electricity to it. and consequently
drawing all matter containing electricity,
and as the matter is differentially endowed
with electric power. the dynamic effect in
drawing it to the earth will vary accord
ingly. We thus find that the difference in
the weight and the specific gravity of mat
ter is caused by the dynamic action of the
earth.
Matter may be divided: the end of physi-
cal division is the molecule. Sir William
Thompson, NJ expert in molecular physics,
says that there are nineteen million million
million molecules in a cubic centimeter of
any gas" From this we learn that the
particles that compose the atmosphere are
infinitely small. The dynamic action of
the earth drawing the electric sun current
through the atmosphere forces these mi
mute molecules into such q high state of ac-
tivity that they exhibit the phenomenon
we call sunlight: Sunlight being produced
by the molecular activity OF our atmos-
phere is confined to il. and darkness pre-
walls between our atmosphere and the sun.
The electricity drawn into the earth by
its dynamic action increases the molecular
activity of the material, and as the electric
currents approach the center of the earth
they focus. and by their aggregated action
the molecular activity of the earth is in
creased to that velocity that exhibits in
candescence. Thus we find that the heat
of the earth is not produced nor is it sus-
tanned by the combination Of fuel, such as
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1890-02-08
coal. oil or natural. gas. but is generated

coal, oil or natural gas. but is generated
and sustained by the dynamic action of the
earth.
The greatest ~peripherical velocity and
the greatest dynamic action being at the
equator, the greatest amount of incandes-
cent matter will be found beneath the tor
rid zone. and for this reason volcanic action
will be confined to that locality.
The normal path of energy is from the
higher to the lower degree of activity.
hence the electricity drawn to the earth by
periphericaI velocity to the lower velocity
near the axis. and from thence out at or
near the north pole and FROM thefe to the
north star. thus producing the northern
lights and an arctic open polar sea, for the
electric current passing out at the north
pole will put the water into such q high
state of activity as will prevent its freez-
ing, notx outstanding the low p~eripherical
velocity of the earth at that locality.
