Professor Kunstler was an old Ger
man pedagogue noted for his absent
mindedness. He and friend, another
old professor, used to take a daily
walk together. One day, when walk
ing was very bad, Professor Kunstler
was on his way to the corner at which
he and his friend always met when
he encountered young student whose
face he recognized dimly, having seen
it every day for some weeks in his
morning class. The professor hailed
the boy, who was wading through the
mud to get across the street Have
you seen Professor MullerP" he asked.
Eyes, Herr Professor, replied the
student pausing in the midst of a
mud puddle to remove his cap respect
fully; the Herr Professor Muller is
at the corner, waiting for you"
Good replied Professor Kunstler,
looking amiably at the lad over his
spectacles; i thank you; you may be

New Wonders I'm Electric Lighting.

By means OF currents alternating
with very high frequency Prof. Nikola
Tesla has succeeded in passing by in
ductiJu through the glass of lamp
energy sufficient to keep the flament
in state of incandescence without
the use of wires, He has even lighted
q room by producing it in such con-
ditlon that an illumin ating appliance
may be placed anywhere and lighted
without being electrically connected
with anything. He has produced the
required condition by creating in the
room a powerful electrostatic field al
tc~nating very rapidly. He suspends
two sheets OF metal each connected
Nth ore of the terminals OF the coil
If an exhausted tube is carried any
where between these sheets, or placed
anywhere It remains always luminous.
The extent to which this method
of illumination may be practically
available experiments alone can de-
eide. In any case our insight into
the possibilities of static electricity
has been extended. and the ordinary
electric machine will cease to be ro-
garded as a mere toy.-Popular Sci

FAIR PROSPECTS IN MICHIGAN.
Excessive Rain and Lack of Warmth
Keep Crops Backward, Howeyer.

LANSING, Mich, May 16.-Ihe crop
bulletin of the Michigan weather SER
vice shows that excessive rains have
done some damage to wheat on low
ground, put oats and barley have been
more extensively injured. Corn plant
ing is far behind. In the central
counties all classes of farm work have
been retarded. q most of ths coun-
ties of this section wheat, grass, and
pastures are doing well and promise a
heavy crop. A week or two of warm
weather would put crops of all kinds
in good condition.
Fruit prospects are excellent and the
growers are sanguine of full crop.
