Tho Future of storage Batteries.


There are few electrical appliances
that elicit such widely varying opinions
from electricians as the storage battery.
Some stoutly hold that for traction
purposes the accumulation will never be
reduced to a commercial basis, while
others just as emphatically maintain
that it will inevitably be the almost
universal source of power for city cleo
trio lines. Be this as it may, the stor-
age battery will unquestionably come
into general use for lighting in the near
future.
AS a reserve when the machinery
breaks or is at rest, or as a regulator
when running, it insures that the con-
sumner is never left in the dark. Build
ings have been known to have been
lighted for five or six days by storage
batteries, while for temporary lighting,
for concerts, balls, ETC., they form a
convenient method of installing, at a
short notice, the electric light, while
dispensing with the noise of running
machinery, accompanied by the ordi-
nary amount of smoke and dirt. New

The Spirit of English Football.

1t is entertaining to listen to the OBJ
servations of foreigners upon our ma
tional game of football. Here it seems
as if our character was effectively epit-
omized. For a mere piece of leather
to risk broken necks, heads and limbs
in so reckless a manner And yet If
herein one does not discover a very
direct DESCENDANT of the chivalrous
craze of the Middle Ages, doubt if any
such descendant may still be said to
exist. Our iorefathers, several centu-
ries back, do not to us, seem very wise
in their habit of going about fighting
with each other on behalf of the black
or the blue eyes of their lady loves.
But they did it with the same zest, and
probably got as much satisfaction out
of it, as our modern fellow countrymen
in the honor of winning their game

If the Lee gun is manufactured
in this country, as It will have to be

The Dukes WAY,

During the occupation of Paris by
the allies in 1915 a French marshal
shouldered an English colonel from the
sidewalk into the street. Thereupon
the Englishman, being forbidden by a
general order of Wellington's to give a
challenge TO or accept one from a French
officer did what he considered the only
thing left hlm-knocked the French
man down, and later refused him salts
faction in duel. The latter then
made formal complaint to the duke,
who, to soothe the marshals feelings,
sent a written reprlmand to the colonel,
but in it inoloSed a cordial invitation TO

RETURNED FROM IRELAND.
PORTLAND, Aug. 31.--Patrick
O'Farrell, who has just returned
from Ireland said in an interview
Saturday.
"There is little or no money IN
Ireland; it hos all been drawn away.
Ireland pays every year, in rent, to
English absentee landlords, 500, 0,000,.
600, and in addition to that vast
amount over $40,O0O,000 in taxes.
The country is drained to the ex-
tent $l00,000,000 year, and that
drain has been going on for a cen.
tury. You must remember that
this amount of money has been
drawn from a country one-third the
size of Oregon, and consequently
such IA withdrawal would impover-
ish the richest country in the world.
The struggle which has been going
OH has been one to retain that
wealth at home aud to spend IL
there in the building up Of factories
and industries of all kinds, for the
benefit of the people; its object is
not to allow this money to benefit
people living In another country.
"From this fact IL will be seen
that tie home rule fight is AS NOZZLE
aud patriotic struggle as ever was
fought.
"From what | saw aud learned
| think affairs in Ireland are improv-
ing, because the land is now being
transferred from The absentee aristo-
crat to the peasant 10y various land
purchasing bills, and England has
allotted $1,000, 600 for that purpose
Ireland is land Of vast resources,

would support large and prosper
