STIMULATING GROWTH.
A Practical and Scientific Use of Elec-
tricity in France.

A Practical and Scientific Use of Elec-
tricity in France.
A practical, scientific use of cleo
trieity is made in France to stimulate
the growth and increase the product
of field crops. An apparatus which
has been successfully used is called the
geomagnetifer, says the Philadelphia
Record, and consists of high pole set
up in the field where the potatoes or
other crops are growing. 1t supports
an insulated head of galy anized iron,
which terminates in the air in a sort
of plexus of points and branches made
of copper. This collector of electrici-
ty communicates by wire with a net
work of other wires, which ramify
through the earth around the foot of
the pole and among the growing roots,
beets, cabbages, potatoes or other crop
buried deep enough to be out of the
way in cultivating the crop.
1t is found by experience that this
apparatus collects the electricity which
always exists in the atmosphere, and
which is made especially manifest by
storms, rain, wind, ETC., and transmits
it to the earth and the stratum of air
nearest the earth. The resulting
stimulus to the crop is very marked.
In one test within superficial area of
thirty-two meters the potato yield, in
proportion to the yield of adjoining
areas not electrically stimulated, was
as ninety-one to sixty. Another report
showed si1ty-three Kilograms of pota-
toes, as against thirty-eight Kilograms
grown under ordinary conditions.
Other root crops and grapes give equal
ly good results.

A LAND OF PHENOMENA.
Strange Results Produced by Storms in
tho Nnrtharn IIalf of Rnrnao

Strange Results Produced by Storms in
the Northern Half of Borneo.
The northern half of the island of
Borneo is the queerest and most unsat-
isfactory place to live that one can
imagine, says a writer in the Globe
Democrat. 1t is a land of constant re-
curing phenomena, where cyclones are
frequent and deluges of water very
common. The vegetation in that half
is very fine, but in all probability the
widest and most tangled on earth
not even excepting that of Africa.
The cause of all the trouble is the
shallow condition of the sea north of
it, great shoals of sand existing few
miles out which extend along its en-
tire northern length. These shoals
are covered by depth of water not
over five feet deep. The constantly
recurring winds that blow in that eli
mate change to hurricanes and sweep
the smaller islands of all visible life.
When such storm strikes the sand
shoals north of Borneo it sweeps up the
shallow salt water into its course and
drenches the island with it. Often it
gathers up sand, great masses of it,
from the clear swept shoal and whirls
it for miles high over the island, carry
ing it into the inland and scattering it
everywhere. The work Of these
storms does not always end with that
Entire shoals of fish, of all sizes, have
been swept up time and again by the
fierce wind with the water and sand
and scattered about Borneo. In some
places the ground would be literally
covered with fish, enough to supply a
heavy population for weeks. But
such luck is no reparation for the evil
the winds do, and consequently the
northern half will never be inhabited
by those who value their lives.

A BULLET-PROOF BREASTPLATE
The Invention of a German Tailor to
Protect Soldiers.

The Invention of German Tailor to
Protect Soldiers.
Projectile makers in recent years
have expended much money, time and
ingenuity in increasing the efficiency
of the various missiles that come with
in scope of their endeavors, and they
have undoubtedly achieved some won
derful results. But of what use is it
all? No sooner is the projectile i'm
proved to the extent of demolishing
the lil1eliest object of its attack than
some counter improvement is made to
defeat the improved projectile. Armor
plate is made too strong to be pene-
trated by missiles of the greatest
known penetration, and then missiles
are made to penetrate the armor, and
stronger armor has to be made. So the
inventors in the two lines keep playing
seesaw with one another, now one up
and now the other, until it seems as if
their rival efforts must produce about
the same result as if neither had ever
begun, and as if the best way to end it
all was to mutually agree to do moth
ing.
Here is German tailor in Mann
helm, for instance, says the London
News, who had apparently defeated
the lately gained and much Landed in
creased penetrating power of the Ger
man rife ball. He has invented or dis
covered some substance which resists
bullets in way that greatly astonishes
military men, and the army magnates
are after his secret. Military commits
sions have made numerous tests and
declared the results most satisfactory.
The inventor has made the material
into sort of cuirass or breastplate in
tended to be fastened to the uniform at
the shoulders and the thighs and
weighing only six pounds. The sur
face of the breastplate, is of ordinary
military cloth, and the resisting sub
stance is put underneath. Of course it
leaves the head, arms and legs ex-
posed. At one of the tests a life size
dummy figure of soldier was dressed
up with one of the shields and set up
to be fred at. Not one of the bullets
that struck the figure went through
the material. They were found i'm
bedded in the coat, all of them fiat
tened by the resistance offered. In Or
der to find the probable effect of the
bullets upon human body the dummy
was covered with soft material under
the breastplate, and the effect upon it
was but slight depression, less than
tenth of an inch beneath where the
bullet struck. 1t seems likely, there
fore, that soldier wearing the armor
would suffer some pain on being struck
by bullet, and at a short distance
might even be rendered insensible, but
it is thought he could not be seriously
injured.

seat.
While talking to his friend he felt a
slight pinch Oh the arm. On looking
around he saw that the lady behind
him had turned to look up to the bal
cony, and in SO doing had placed her
hand on his arm. Realizing that she
had done so unconsciously, he did not
move his arm, says the Rochester
Union-Advertiser.
Soon, however, he felt hard pinch.
Thinking that the best way to call the
lady's attention to what she was doing
would be to ask if anything was
wanted, the gentleman turned and
asked:
''What is it, MADAME"
''Sir?" said the lady, and Immediate
ly the husband blazed up.
'What do you mean by speaking to
my wife?" he demanded.
Don't mean anything" was the re-
ply, ''but 1 would like to know what
your wife means by pinching my arm?''
Then both men looked at the ladv's
hand, which still rested on the arm.
Both smiled, became little nervous
and apologized. During the rest OF
the performance the lady kept her
hand in her muff.

Churches in the Capital.

There is no city in the United States
which might be called the city of
churches with more appropriateness
than Washington. They are not par
ticularly large, or imposing, these
Washington churches, but there are an
immense number of them. AS mat
ter of fact, the capital contains nearly
200 churches most of these belonging
to the Methodist denomination, which
claims fifty-two. The Baptists come
next with forty-ive, then the Episco-
palians with twentysix, and the Pres
byterians with twenty-one. The Ro-
man Catholics have thirteen, the Lu-
therans ten, the Congregationalists
four, the Hebrews and the Christians
two each, and the Universalists and
the Swedenborgians one each. Besides
these there are half a dozen non-secta-
rian bodies.

NORTHERN ADDITION RAILWAY.
The Enterprise Is Now in Proper
Hands.

The Enterprise Is Now in Proper
Hands.
The Northern Addition electric street
railway project has been rehabilitated
and will shortly be carried out. 1t is
now in the hands of men who not only
have pluck and means, but have the
deepest interest in its early construc.
ton. The enterprise was temporarily
abandoned last spring on account of the
failure of the Denver contractor after
material had been purchased, delivered
and distributed along the proposed
route. The financial panic which set
in about the same time in the east, and
the apparent probability that it would
greatly effect Phoenix were reasons why
the abandonment of the enterprise was
prolonged.
Within few days past the material
has been purchased by extensive land
owners along the route and arrange
ments are being made as rapidly as pos
sible for beginning the construction.
The line will be paying one from the
beginning, as it not only runs through
a densely populated portion OF
the city which If now without
service, but it passes after leav-
ing the city, through Churchill's
addition, which is already the
most thickly settled of the gu burban
districts
The favor with which this addition as
we'll as those beyond, of Dennis and
Brill, as residence districts is causing
the territory to be served by the road
to be built up more rapidly than any
other adjacent to the city.

wonders of Geometrical prorressiou

The story of Sysla and the king is usu-
ally told as good illustration of ESQ
metrical progression. Sysla, SO the story
goes, was the inventor of the game Of
chess. The king was so delighted with
tho diversion that he promised to grant
any request tho inventor might make.
Sysla, who must have been a mathema-
tician as we'll as mechanical genius.
only asked that the generous king would
put one grain of wheat on the first
square of the board and double the
amount upon each successive square up
to and including the sxty-fourth. Lucas
de Burgo says that there was not enough
wheat in the kingdom to pay the crafty
inventor, which was 1S,446, tn ,013, 7O0,-
557,615 grains! According to Il curious
medley of figures published in the Louis
ville Courier-J ournal, there are 83o, 600
grains in bushel of wheat. How many
bushels did The modest inventor ask for?
The number of bushels as given in the
book "Curiosities of the Game and PLAY
of Chess" fall more than one-third short
of the actual number.-St. Louis Re

that from kind of natural selection the
instinct of the pampas dogs has led them
to approach n vizcachera crouching after

Another and far stranger characteristic
of the vizcacha is that the inhabitants of

they are fond of each others society and
