Early StuIy of EIectricity.

DR.. Gilbert, who was the trusted
physician to England's maiden
queen, Elizabeth, brought more light
to bear upon electric science than
any other man of his time. He claims
to be the creator OF electricity. for
getting God, the first cause. He
drew his first and best experiments
from amber, but he found many
other substances besides amber con
tanned electric power or the power
of attracting light. Glass rubbed to-
gether produces electricity; so do
sulphurous crystals and many other
substances. Diamonds became a
powerful attractive force for light

THE cholera epidemic which is
now raging in Europe is giving the
people of this country much alarm.
The fear is that incoming steamers
will bring the dreaded disease and
cause it's wide spread throughout
this land of ours. All care and
diligence should be exercised and
no doubt is by those in charge of the
quarrantines along II coast to pre-
vent the disease being carried to our
shores. Once the disease gets a
good start it will be hard to stop its
progress, as the railroads will be the
means by which it will then be dis
tributed and spread from ocean to

THE Park Slip Pit disaster in
Wales on August 20 is one of the
many frightful accidents that occur
in coal mining. The explosion came
without a moments warning, killing
many miners at once and imprison-
ing others by the falling debris.
Those about the shaft were saved
but the remainder were undoubtedly
killed while at work, not having
a moments warning Of the impend-
ing danger. Bodies of dead miners
were found showing they had died
in the very act of using their picks.

A FOR THE FRAY.
Sullivan and Corbett Have Finished
Training-Who Will Win?

New York, Aug. 31.-The work
of preparation is virtually finished
by Corbett and Sullivan and now
each one claims and hopes to 90 into
the ring on the night of the 9TH of
September in as good shape as he is
at present. Sullivan was first to
quit training. He quit hard work
Oh Tuesday in order to give his bad
ly blistered feet an opportunity to
heal. AS matter of fact their bal
condition has given his friends some
concern, but he feels sure they will
be all right. If they are not they
are apt to trouble him a good deal
if the encounter with Corbett should
be a protracted one.
The admirers of Sullivan cannot
see how he can be defeated. They
boldly announce, in fact, that he has
a veritable game of walk-over and
that the battle is all over but the
shouting They argue that Sullivan
has trained aa he never did before.
He is stronger, too, than ever, and
as much of a human hurricane as
when he moved down Ryan, Mitch
ell Slade, Herald, Wilson and Xii
rain. No living nan they declare,
ear stand his rushes, and the same
fate awaits Corbett as befell the
other ambitious aspirants for champ
ionship honors.
The friends of Corbett predict a
wholly different outcome Of the great
battle. They have no hesitation in
saying that Sullivan as up against
it this time" They state they never
met a man of Corbett's calliber be-
fore in life. In skill, strength and
quickness he is a perfect marvel.
''ln addition to these qualities of
"a great fighter" said Pomp Arduor,
''Jim has a natural advantage over
Sullivan in the way of height and
reach. He is three inches taller and
the length of his arms is extraordi-
nary. His hitting powers are but
slightly inferior to those of Sullivan
and his nimbleness is sure to keep
him out Of harms way. Naturally he
has far greater endurance and ten
years youth in his favor cannot but
aid him IN cas- of a %protracted strug-
gle" So reason the partisans on
both sides. Conservative sportsmen
who are familiar with performances

that neither has a mortgage upon

the battle will be a hard, scientific
one from start to finish and that it
will last for something like an hour.

that in short order. He does not

Intelligent farmers understand very

that will be least likely to remove
the soil with it, but unfortunately they
do not always put their knowledge into
practice Where loose rock is conve-
nient, covered bitches with ten or twelve
inches of rock at the bottom are easily
made and form excellent drains, says
Scientific Agriculture. Deep blowing
and subsoiling are means of draining,
to a limited extent. but cannot be sub
stituted for ditching in wet, swampy
lands.
The advantages of drainage are nu-
mtrous. of which may be mentioned the
following: 1t makes the soil warmer.
The evaporation of water from any sur
face is cooling The heat of the sun
falling on a wet soil is taken up in con-
verting the water into vapor and does
not reach the roots of the plant.
It keeps the plant food from becoming
too much diluted. and leaves it in n con-
centrated form for absorption by the
plant.
1t gives free access Of air to the roots

low. ~
Weeds arc most easily destroyed
when small and this is one Of the adj
vantages Of early cultivation. In al
soils there il more or less latent plant
food that is not in an available condi-
ton to be used by the plants. Subject
ing the soil to the influence OF light and
air aids materially to render this avail
able and the finer the filth and the
more frequently it is stirred the better
the opportunity for this action.
One very important item with all
plants is to secure u vigorous start to
grow. II in the early stages of growth
the plant, from any cause, becomes
stunted. too often treatment will en-
tirely eradicate the effects. With Wig
|'orous start thrifty growth may be
readily maintained carly. Thorough
cultivation is an important item in Sc
curing a vigorous start to grow. The
object should be to keep the soil
fine and mellow at the least out
lay of time and labor. and the i'm
plement that will do this best is the one
that should be used. Generally 1t is
not necessary or best to stir the soil to
| any considerable depth. Taking one
season with another deep blowing with
| shallow, level cultivation will give the
| best results, but in doing this II is i'm
! portant that the cultivation should be
| gin early. If properly prepared before
planting, it is less work to keep the
| weeds down and the soil in q good con
| dition than to let the weeds get well
started and the soil run together and
then attempt to cultivate. Another ad
vantage of thorough work at the start
| is that a much better opportunity is OF
| fered for root growth. The plants get.
| ting well established early will be IN q
much better condition to withstand
drought, should one set in later on.
No set rules can be laid down as t.
when the cultivation should begin. how

| plement is the most economical to Use
The season, the character and condition
of the soil and the growth of the plants
must largely determine this. VIVA
