amy's defence Of Nationalism In bril-
liant, witty, and very able paper entitled
The Tyranny Of Nationalism." r p.
Hassel presents the cause Of the farmers
alliance in his paper on ssThe Indepen-
dent Party and Money al COST In the
clearest and in many respects the ablest
manner that has appeared. His paper
will doubtless form the substance Of
many political addresses in the near flt-
ure. Another feature is added TO this
issue OF The Arena, entitled "Books OF
the Day., It consists Of several pages
OF critical book reviews which are given
in addition to the one hundred twenty
eight pages which appear each month.
In this department able criticisms By the
editor, Mr.. Hamlin Garland, Prof. Bu-
chanan, Rev. Howard Mace Queary, and
other critical writer's will appear, which
will greatly add to the value OF The
Arena and are clear gain the readsrs.
It is evidently the settled purpose OF the
management of the Arena to make that
review busy mans library. The Au-
gust Arena is brilliant and unique.

STURGIS ADVERTISER.
ARTEsIAN DAKOTA.

\
''Nine-tenths OF the surface water OF
our state, says North Dakota's superin-
tendent OF irrigation and foresty,
Through soakage into the earth and by
evaporation, has disappeared The
rain fall is light and uncertain. Dry
winds shrivel vegetation, and the clouds
cannot be persuaded to precipitate their
moisture. Therefore artesian water, he
concludes, is for the Dakotas q necess-
ity. Happily, water in any quantity
can be secured by proper borings. The
only problem, therefore, is as to the val
ne of artesian water for agricultural pur-
poses.
It appears that an idea has struck
superstitious old fogies that artesian
water is bad for crops. Chemical analy-
sis proves, however, that this prejudice
is thoroughly ungrounded. The artes-
ian water is not only free from alkali,
but contains salts of lime, magnesia,
potash and soda, which form an indis-
pensable plant food. Three experiments
last year established the fact that artes-
ian water applied to grain, fruit and veg
etables was fully as beneficial as rain.
The results OF the irrigation OF wheat on
the Bostwick farm, South Dakota, are in
teresting. Two fields were marked out
side by side, one being irrigated and the
other not. With irrigation the cost was
$3.50 per acre, and the yield 2S bushels
of No. l Northern. Without irrigation
the cost was 1925 per acre, and the
yield A bushels of rejected. The former
yielded 1885 per acre, at a cost of 80
cents per bushel; and the latter 1925
cents per acre, at cost OF $1.56 pei
bushel e. s. Nettleton, chief engineer
of United States irrigation survey, states
that the only danger is the tendency oi
amateurs to use too great quantity o.
water. AS far as the quality is con
cerned, he finds that not even delicatt
house plants are injured. The water
should first be subjected to the expos
ure of light, air and heat in reservoirs
The important problem lies in properl,
getting the water to the plants.
I'm view of the wonderful results
which irrigation may bring forth in tn
fertilization of soil and the production
of crops, it may be blessing in dis
guise, that the Dakotas are neglected b.
the rain gods.

WEATHER AND scIENTIuc NOTES.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius sug-
gests that volcanic action is influenced
BY the same forces and from the same
sources that are our storms. An inves-
tigation OF this subject will develop q
remarkable and interesting coincidence
in great storms, great sunspots, great
activity in volcanoes and earthquakes,
great displays in auroras, or northern
lights, and in unusual electric disturb
ances on the earth. The theory I adyo-
cate declares that all these disturbances
are caused by electrical forces which
reach their maximum influences by GER
tain planetary position. In making q
revolution around the sun each planet
causes at least, two Of these disturbances,
Mercury every tourty-four davs and
Neptune every forty years. These
electrical disturbances are probably of
regular recurrence throughout the uni
verse in all the relations of our sun with
the other stars and of each star cluster
with every other. Our sun revolves
around the center OF our star center in
about 25,750 years, and that center
must be great body OF concentrated
electricity. Taking that center as the
SUMS primary, the sun would pass its
equinox every 1880 years, and half way
between these periods pass through the
center of our star cluster, or through the
plane of the milky way. This would
place the great disturbances at 6,435
years apart, and I will suggest that
scientific research may yet reveal that
Noah's food and the great cataclysm of
fire and gravel about which SO much
evidence is found in geology, in the
bible books OF Genesis and Job, and in
the legends of all races and peoples
may yet be found to have occurred
when our sun last passed it's equinox.
Electricians say that currents Of elec-
tricity move west under service of the
earth. and that the strongest currents
pass under the active volcanoes. Anoth-
or step in the same direction viii lead
them to admit all the truth. and the cleo.
trio currents cause all the heat we find
in the earth, which causes the volcanoes
| by igniting the earth's combustibles.

WEATHER FORECASTS.

My last letter gave forecasts of the
storm wave due TO cross the continent
from 18th to 22nd, and the next will be
due to leave the Pacific coast about the
Oath, cross the Rockey Allegheny valley
from 25th to 9th, and reach the Attain
tic coast about the 28th. The impor-
tent feature of this storm wave will be
that it will compel the last heavy rain
period of the 1891 crop season. 1 do
not mean to say there will be no more
rain, but that for about ffty-two days
following August LIST the rains will not
be general. The center of this storm
wave will probably enter the continent
about the north line of California, and
pass through Montana, South Dakota
and eastward along the latitude OF north
ern Iowa and Ohio, and the heaviest
rains, halls, gales and tornadoes will oc-
cur south of that line. The storm will
be at it's greatest force on the Gath and
25th when it's center will be in the
Rockey Mountains, and win gradually
decrease in force as it moves eastward.
The destructive force OF these storms is
usually manifest from 500 to 1000 miles
southeast of the storm center.
The storm forces will be more evenly
distributed during August, and were To-
cal droaths shall have continued to the
close of July there viii be great danger
of injurious drouths in August. But
these local drouths are not expected te
cover large areas and will probably be
confined to lands near sea level.
The storm wave Of July 9th to 10tt
developed tropical hurricane on tht
Atlantic and Gulf OF Mexico which great
ly affected the weather in the United
States. I have not yet learned th'
periods of these tropical hurricanes, bu
I viii repeat that 1922 will bring NOR,
of these dangerous storms than hav,
been experienced within the same tim
for sixty years past, and they will b
awfully destructive during October Q
this year. Along the coasts of the AT
lantic and Gulf OF Mexico from the mort
OF the st. Lawrence river, Canada t
Central America, the shipping interee
and coast dealers will suffer vastly fror
these hurricanes during September, O.
tober and November, and whatever ca
be done to protect life and propert
should have immediate attention. Tn
] forecast is not unnecessarily sensations
and viii be found to be for short Of POI
traying the serious results that will CON
from these great storms Whoever Wi
study my forecasts Of the destructi'
storms Of last month published In 189
and early in this year, will realize th'
I am not guessing ct these importal
weather events, and I feel 1t 10 be d
duty TO give serious warning Of dang
ahead. Whoever heeds these prediction

THE AUGUST ARENA.

The failure OF a young lady to enter
Yale, after signally proving her intellect
ual capacity to cope with the most bril-
liant young men with whom she would
come in contact, has called general at
tention to the essentially conservative
character of our great educational insti-
tutions, where above all places we
should find progress and iberality. AS
il in answer to the hostility of conserva-
tive thought to woman's progress in the
intellectual or educational sphere, The
Arena for August presents no less than
eight leading papers from representative
thinkers among women of America and
Europe, discussing political. educational,
social, sociological, economic, and scien-
tifc themes, together with two literary
papers, one by Miss Amelia B. Edwards
the famed Psychologist and novelist,
who in most delightful paper writes of
her own home life. An excellent por-
trait of Miss Edwards also accompanies
this paper. The other, semi historical
story OF Tennessee, entitled ''Old Hick-
ory's Ball." by the charming young
southern auther, Miss Will Allen Drom-
goole. The heavier essays by women
are, ''The Unity of Germany" by Nine.

brilliant essayists on the European con-
tinent. s'Where Shall Lasting Progress

IentIoss Persecution.

CHICAGO. February 12.-Charles ]. Glib

here yesterday, left for Cleveland last night.
Regarding the charge against him he said
"This is plot to ruin me. but 1t will fail.

nonsense"
1t was about the 10th of January when
Gibson delivered the explosive to Dewar.
Gibson has daily been expecting news Of the
carrying out Of the plot. Since the 10th
Gibson has written several letters to Dewar,
and has sent him several kilograms. AL Of
these are in possession of the authorities.
OF these Solicitor Hart says: "He fire.
quently admonishes Dewar that he Is not
using the despatch he ought In the matter.
Last Monday the department dictated a de-
coy letter 10 Gibson, having Dewar write It.
The letter was TO the effect that Dewar had
made several attempts to carry out the plot,
but had failed on account Of the liquid. He
said he thought IL had lost its virtue, and IN
structed Gibson to come to Chicago Wednes-
day and bring with him new bottle Of the
stuff. He also told him to bring the evidence
he intended TO pay him for the Job. Gibson
answered by telegram that he would come
to Chicago Wednesday morning. Dewar
met him at the train, and made an appoint
ment to meet Gibson at the Grand Pacific.

TERRIBLE BOILER EXPLOSION.
A Quebec Worsted Mill Destroyed
and Many Killed.

QUEBEC, February 12.-The boiler of the
Quebec Worsted Company's factory at Hare
point exploded this morning, demolishing
portion of the factory. A large number Of
employees were buried in the ruins. Thirty
bodies have thus far been taken from the
wreck. The works of the company have
been closed for two weeks while the boilers
and machinery were being oyerhauled and
reftted. Operations were to have been re
sumed this morning, and about 800 Of the
operatives were on hand.
A great crowd gathered Immediately, and
the work of rescue commenced. The fire
brigade was called out. but fortunately the
horrors Of fire were not added to the calami-
to assist the police In keeping order and
controlling the enormous crowd Of excited
men and women who blocked rp every ave
nue. of approach.
