What Is Electricity?

AS far as the writer is able to under
stand the matter now, electricity is
simply motion of molecules of the diff
ferent substances which are subjects of
electrical action, just as heat light and
sound are, and the only difference be-
tween these forces is the rate of notion
The motion of sound. as we all know. is
comparatively slow: that of heat and
light are very rapid. That of electricity
would appear to be somewhat between
the slow motion of sound and the rapid
motion of those heat waves whose mo-
ton is slowest. And it would appear
that the wonderful adaptability which
electricity shows for every kind of work
is due entirely to the position which it's
rate OF motion occupies in the scale Of
the energies. 1t would appear that
the reason this wonderful agent laid
dormant for SO many ages, and is even
now only partially developed is, very
largely, at any rate, because we have no
sense which responds to the particular
periods of vibration comprised within
the electrical range
Heat current would be far more eff
cient than electric-currents if we could
make use of them as we do of the latter:
and, as before remarked. the reason
electricity is such useful agent appears
to be because its rate of vibration is Suf-
ficiently high to admit of rapid trans
mission, yet not sufficiently so to be de-
StructiVe. 1t only becomes destructive
when it is transformed into heat.-Elec-

Sour Grapes.

There are times in our lives when we
stray from the hot and dusty roadway
our path. Suddenly, we find that it is
not for us to eat the grapes, and that
we may do no more than refresh our
eyes with the sight of the purple clus-
tiers. And so back we 60 to the outside
world with the fox's verdict, "The
grapes are souri, ringing in our ears.
There are different constructions to be
put on that speech. /, for one, am almost
persuaded that the fox spoke honestly
when he made his statement. Let him
at least have the benefit of the doubt.
To be sure, there are people who are
dishonest when they echo his words.
These have tried, in vain, to pluck the
rich punches, and failing, hide their
disappointment by fancying that after

Major Newson.

With the change of administration
come anticipations that the Gins" will
go out and the "Outs" will come in. 1t
is ever thus, even when administrations
of the same party change. The st. Pc
ter Herald makes good suggestion,
one that should have due consideration
by the state department. President
Johnson, of the Minnesota State Editor
ial association, thus speaks: I'VE think
we express the opinion of our Democrat
ic editors, when we say that we sincerely
hope that President Cleveland will not
disturb our old editorial friend-MajOr
NewsOn-in his present position in Nal
aga, Spain, if he wishes to remain there.
What say the Democratic boys on this
subject?" Major Newson was appoint
ed consul with the appreciation and
good wishes of his editorial brethren in
Minnesota and it will no doubt be their
wish that he continue in the position
to which he was assigned. All the news
papers should unite again, asking that
he be recommended, if that course is
necessary.-S Paul Meas.

The Drainage of the Zuyder Zee.

Between 1910 and 1852 the Harlem
Lake was drained and turned into
fruitful territory 1t was an extraor-
binary undertaking, certainly, for 2OO,-
100000 cubic metres of water had to be
pumped out into the y Orth Sea, and the
cost amounted to 100000 Dutch Gull
den, but the value of the land gained is
worth five times that sum to-day. Hol-
land has in view the much vaster pro-
ject of draining the Zuyder Zee, where
by it is hoped to rescue for cultivation
a territory almost as extensive as the
Duchy of Brunswick, and it has been es-
timated that the undertaking will cost
about $lO0,OO0,OOO First, an immense
dyke is to shut off the lake from the
North Sea; then the lake is to be divided
into four sections and the water pumped
out of each one singly. The remaining
portion of water would then form the
Ysselmeer Or Yssel Lake. 1t is calcu-
lated that it will take about thirty-tWo
years to accomplish the gigantic scheme:
but no one. says the Ddheim of January
Z. seems to oppose it in any way except
the tishermen.-Rerieac Of Rerie1os.

all they have not missed much. Or,
from meaner motive, they think their
cry of "sour" will make the grapes Of
less value to those who have gathered
them over their heads. Though this be
so, still, to the credit of human nature,
the greater number of us do, think,
leave the vineyard, thinking contented
ly that the fruit out of reach is not yet
ripe enough for our taste. Once resign
ourselves to do without it, and very
soon how little we care to possess it!
For do we not see how quickly the
bloom wears off the punches in the
hands of those whom the world calls
fortunate? Have we not found that
the spirit of cOntentment has sweetened

This being so, it is surely better and
wiser for our peace of mind to imagine

Two Tales from "Sin Bad"

i saw a paragraph in newspaper
which stated that the farmers of New
Zealand forward their butter to Eng
land, the freight charges, for the entire
distance of 1000 miles. being about 3
cents a pound. Now, the question is
this: When and how did England get
within 1000 miles of New Zealand
was it the strength of the butter that
drew it there?
The question is: Where will we 90

Foolish and Fallacious Objections.

President Harrison and Secretary Foster
showed admirable common sense in accepting
promptly the view of the Hawaiian Provisional
Government and of its five Commissioners who
reached Washington February 3, which was to
the effect that full annexation would be far better
than any ambiguous halfway arrangement
A "prOtectOrate would be an absurdty in such
a case. 1t is our business to assume straightfor-
ward responsibility. 'PrOtectorates" are no
part of our system of government. Annexation
involves no puzzling difficulties. Some very
amusing objections have been urged by writer's
who have warned us against the danger of lab
sOrbing'' the KanakaS and Coolies of the islands,
and all the difficulties growing out of variety of
races. Apparently, they forget that the Sand
witch Islands are firmly mOOred by nature at a
distance of more than two thousand miles from
San Francisco, and that annexation does not in
vOlve the transfer of the population to our main
land. The domestic problems of Hawaii will of
necessity remain for solution on the islands. If
the general effect of annexation will be steady
ing and a lettering of local administration, we
shall have contributed something to the solving
of particular domestic issues. But the direct
dealing with such matters must under our system
continue to belong to the Island government.
We do not expect Europeans to quite clearly
comprehend the fact that under our American
system the Hawaians will lose none of their all-
tonomy by annexation, while they will gain the
splendid and substantial honor of becoming a
part of our magnificent federated Republic. But
it is pity that there should be any Americans
who fail to understand this, and who affect to
sympathize with the Hawaiians as if they were
coming into subsection rather than winning the
largest sort of political and civic liberty.
The annexation of Hawaii has revived the
history of President Grants attempt to annex
San Domingo. The American Commissioners,
who visited the island, reported very earnestly
in favor of the project, but the Senate refused to
assent. History is likely to decide that our re-
fusal to take San Domingo in hand was in pur-

suance OF policy more selfish and timd than it
was broad and enlightened But the times have
greatly changed since the days of that stormy
debate. 1t is rather curious coincidence that
last month, while Hawaii was knocking at our
doors, an American financial company an
nOunced the fact that it had, by agreement with
San Domingo, obtained full control of the GUS
toms and revenue system of that republic hav-
ing become the creditor of the government by
purchase from their former Dutch holders of the
outstanding Dominican bonds with accompany
ing concessions. 1t is easily imaginable that this
cOmpanys presence in San Domingo may pave
the way for reOpening of the annexation ques-
ton. Meanwhile the arrangement will doubt
less be an advantageous one to the little republic,
which has suffered from bad fiscal adminiStra-
ton and an unmanageable debt.-Rerie,C of Re
rielCs
The French journal Les Debnts is au-
thOrity for the statement that. whereas
in 1869 there were in France only $780,
S7S establishments licensed for the sale
of intoxicating drink, there are now over
44S,OOO, or at the rate of one per 81 in
habitants. AS, of late, the population
of France has been steadily decreasing
at an annual rate of over one-twentieth
per cent, in hundred years or so, with
steady effort and good will, we may ex-
pect to witness the ideal sight of one
saloon per unit of population. The an
nual average consumption of alcohol is
at present AZ litres per head or little
more than ~ pints. Oh. for the glori-
Gus time when there will be no other
drink than alcohol! 1t is surprising
that Edward Bellamy should have over
looked this in his Looking Backward"
1t is really wonder to us that nature
should have made water so plentiful
and given it such universal hygenic
properties. Perhaps it was only to fur
nish motive power and energy to our
heavy iron engines. AS for the human
machine, it evidently requires some
thing more. The only matter for sur
prise is that providence should not have
furnished us with this necessity in it's
natural form, for surely, if alcohol were
intended by nature to serve as an hab-
itual beverage, it should have been Civ
Ell in liberal allowances. without carry
ing the need of a tedious, artificial
preparation. But, then, there are so
many things inexplanable.-Th Sun-

The Approaching Solar Eclipse.

The total solar eclipse of April 1916,
1893. is not only one of the longest of the
century, but is the last of the century
from which we are likely to get any ad-
ditions to our knowledge of Solar Ply
sizes. The longest duration of totality
of this eclipse is four minutes, forty six
seconds, and as the path of the moons
shadow lies to great extent on land.
there is a considerable choice of possible
stations with long duration of tOtality.
Two expeditions will be sent from Eng
land; one to Africa, the other to Brazil,
the expenses being betrayed by the
