Mr.. Frank j. Sprague, the electrician,
confirms the auguries Of the unscicntfic
public respecting the future develop
ment of applied electricity Less than
four years ago, he states, the first electric
railway was put into operation. Within
that short period there have been $50
such roads constructed, requiring more
than 1000 cars, with more than 1900
miles Of track and 1000 motors, and
representing an investment Of more
than $50,000,000 in this one branch of
electricity in this country alone. The
telegraph, with its hundreds of thou
sands of miles of wire and its $3.50, 600 900
OF capital is an old story TO the present
generation, but there are thousands of
men and women yet living who had
reached adult age before the wires licked
that first message from Washington,
"What hath God wrought The tele.
phone comes next with its 225,000 miles
OF wire the electric light with its
capitalization of over $i5000O, 900
has reyolutionized illumination,
while the uses of electricity
for heat, power and manufacture bring
in another hundred millions of capital,
Most of these achievements are the fruit
of few years, but, great as they are,
Mr.. Sprague regards them as only a
foretaste of what the near future has in
store. Electricity, he says, has only
begun 10 do what 1t will do in the next
decade The limit Of its usefulness has
only been suggested. In the line in
which Mr.. Sprague is specially inter-
ested, he looks for electricity to sup,
plant steam. The steam locomotive, lie
believes, has about reached the extent
Of its possibilities. A maximum of &C
miles an hour, with running speed Of
go to 20, is all that can be hoped for
from steam, under the best conditions
But with electricity there is practically
no limit to speed. Three hundred miles
an hour has been shown to be pos.
rate that would bring Chicago ~
a little over three hours and San Fran
cisco within twelve hours Of New York
Perhaps we may travel at that speed il
the twentieth century, and circle ID,
globe IN a week.

One would think from the way some
+ the protection organs are now talking
hat the intent and purpose Of the wool
schedule in the Mckinley bill wore u
bring down the price of that staple,
The fact is that the price Of wool has
fallen about three cents pound, not
only in this country but everywhere
else, in spite of the Mckinley bill, being
and we say it notlrreverently--simply
another illustration Of the truth Of the
old proyerb; Man proposes but God
disposes."

The New York Tribune seems in.
clined to claim that some share Of the
credit for the bountoous crops that have
fallen to the lot Of the American farmer
is due 70 the Mckinley bill. Ii does not
directly pretend that raising tile tariff
on wool and tin-plate has brought
about the atmospheric and climatic CON
dihons which have caused Delaware's
peach orchards 10 bring forth abund-
antly, but itdoes seriously contend that
"the expansion Of production at this time
is not entirely matter Of luck and Is
connected in some mysterious way with
the "better protection to agriculture"
which was zone principal object
Of the new tariff Shades Of
defunct Senator ingalls, The main OBJ
ject Of this protection Sc far as can
be Judged from the legislation of the
Mckinley Congress, was to make still
more difficult Era7tus Wiman's propo-
siton about the impossibility Of d pair

toes or 4 dozen eggs across the Canadian
line without calling in Q customs uflicor,
