Water Taking the Place of Coal.

One of the most interesting processes
now going on is the conversion of water
into light, heat and power. The great
obstacle in the way of cheap electric
lights and power has been the cost Of
coal and other fuel. But all over the
northwest water is being utilized for
running electric plants. An electrician
who has recently been looking yer Mon
tana and the northwestern states finds
that everywhere water powers are being
taken up and utilized to create electric
ity. So cheap is this process that the
use of coal is out of the question. No
light and power can be created so cheap
ly as that where a mountain stream has
been made to do the work. What was
an experiment a short time ago has now
become one of the most remarkable Ml-
dustrial developments of the time.-Ex-

the original application was almost
wholly erased. That original applica-
ton was for make and break OF contact
between electrodes" but the patent as
granted is for electrodes in constant
contact" Any electrician knows that
this is a difference OF the very greatest
Importance. Since 1877 it has been
demonstrated that make and break con-
tact does not work we'll, that constant
contact is necessary. The change made
ia relied upon for annulment.

SWEETER THAN A BEST GIRL.

Sugar, Moiasses and Honey Are Nowhere
In Comparison With Saccharine-
An industry still young, but unques-
tionnbly with d great mercantile future,
is that Of saccharine. a product of coal
tar. 1t ia Il substitute for sugar, has
mere % lis bulk and is so powerful that
it is 800 tines sweeter. The history of
its discovery is interesting.
In 1919 Or. Constantine Fahlberg, a
Russian by birth, but who had been ed
ucated i'll Germany, became connected
with the Johns Hopkins university in
Baltimore There he conducted a series
of experiments on the toluene sulpha-
mides. in order to investigate their oxi-
dation products.
The outgrowth of this investigation
was the discovery of saccharine. BY
oxidizing pure orthotoluene sulphamide
it was found that it would yield a re-
markably sweet compound. The amount
obtained, however, was too small to be
of any practical value for manufactur-
ing purposes. The problem thenceforth
was to find other reactions which would
give u better yield of the sweet body. A
long and exhaustive series of laboratory
experiments extending through several
years were necessary for the satisfac-
tory development of the chemical proc
ess of production.
AS might be expected, u discovery of
such practical utility had to run the
gantlet of much hostile criticism. 1t
formed a fruitful subject for discussion
in various scientific societies and jour-
| nails. Attempts were made to show that
it was not only deieterious. but danger
Gus. It is only fair To say, however, that
! these arguments seem TO have been sue
| cessfully co~ntroyerted. An overwhelm-
ing mass Of expert testimony is recorded
in favor Of saccharine. Eminent profess
ors. like Sir II. E. Roscoe in London,
Leyden in Berlin. Paul in Paris, Won
Barth in Vienna, and a host of others,
after thorough tests. have certified that
the effects of saccharine upon the phys.
ical and psychical functions of the brute
and hufl&n systems are entirely harm
less.
Saccharine Ill its pure condition is a
white powder. Various exclusive adj
vantages are claimed for it's use in the
arts, household and medicine. To emu
merate q few: 1t is so small in bulk that
the saving in storage and freight is OF
course very great; its valuable antiseptic
qualities make it especially available In
preserving as well as sweetening articles
of food, such as jelIes, fruits, etc. In the
distilling of brandies and liquors and in
the brewing of beer saccharine has beer
used with signal success. Mixed with
glucose. saccharine has a sweetness equa
to the finest refined sugar. Further
saccharine serves a distinctly medica
purpose. 1t is employed to disguise the
unpleasant taste of medicine and in the

may be added that this highly concen.

of Ethyl.

A new local anasthetic has been In
occasional use in surgery for the past
year. Previous to that time it was chief
ly used by dentists. The name of the
anasthetic is chloride of ethyl, which
has a peculiar odor, not at ali offensive;
on the contrary, pleasant and a sweet
taste. 1t will take the place largely of
chloroform and ether, which require
considerable time to have effect on a pa
tient. Moreover, it is much safer. 1t
can be used. for example. in the cutting
of an abscess or any other such slight
operation. It issimply a matter of spray
ing the affected portion of the body. Its
chief component is alcohol.

Much public interest now centers in
what Mr.. Cieveland's attorney general
MIR. Oiney-wiH do In regard To prose
cutting antitrust cases, forbidden by
United States statute OF 1890. Mr..
Olney is interested in several supposed
trusts himself and is one OF the greatest
corporation lawyers-a position which he
has not yet ~resigned-in the country.
A test OF his fealty TO the people will
be made ia his prosecution OF the suit
of the United States against the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone Company, whose.
patent son expires but which is attempt
ing to cover its old rights and keep its
lecherous hold upon the people by
virtue of the Berliner patent. Ii Is q
suit brought to annual patent No. 1885,
$50, issued Nov. Ii, 1891. The suit was
brought in February.,- It had to be
brought to the United States circuit
court Of Massachusetts,, the company
having been created by a law OF that
state. The American Bell Telephone
Company is one OF the richest corpora
tions in this country. 1t is said to de
rive from royalties ON patents no less
than 50 ,J0O,000 a year. That is, $14 on
each telephone set, Of which there are
said to be a quarter Of q million. Its last
vital patent will expire next winter.
This Berliner patent is q device to per
petnate a monopoly which is a tax Of mil
lions of dollars upon the business OF the
country. The patent was applied for
June A. 1877. The actual grant was
radically different from the application.
The secretary Of the interior would hare
recalled the patent or suspended 1t, but
he had no power to do SO, and the pro
ceeGIngs had been kept a profound sec.
ret until past recall. Then the only
thing to be done was to institute pro.
csedings for annulment. Under the di.
rection OF Attorney General Miller an
exact photo-lithographic copy OF all the
papers OF the case was prepared. One

The back pipes are the pipes that rust and on these stoves are made of

The Direct Route East.

The Ohio & Mississippi railway, running
east from 81. Louis, is the short and direct
line TO the national capital, and offers q
through train service which is not eQualed
by any other line. 1t is, properly speaking,
the only Direct through car line from the
Mississippi river to Washington.
The Ohio & Mississippi railway is the
only line running all trains through solid
from ST. Louis to CinCnRati, the time
being less than ten hours; and the only line
running double daily lines Of Pullman
Vestibule buffet sleeping cars from So.
Louis to New York via Washington, BSlti-
more and Philadelphia without change.
The o. I'M. has an enViable reputation
for speed, comfort and safety, and the
regularity Of it's trains is pEOverbial with
the travelling public; in practice it almost
realizes the ambition Of every railroad
management to have trains always on
time.
The popularity Of the o. & M. railway
compels il to run three daily trains TO Gin
cinnasi and two to Louisville, 70 RcComod2te
its steadily increasing travel; fully 95 per
cent of the business from st. Louis 10 and
via Cincinnati eastward being accredited to
the o. j. M.
Both the day and night express trains Of
the o. & M. are equipped with elegant vesti-
bule day coaches and Pullman veStibule
buffet sleeping cars. Pullman buffet par
lor library cars are also on day express and
free reclining chair cars on night express
trains.

cine according to directions. And then
there would still be q few who would
put on the brakes and sullenly refuse to
be cured unless by q miracle, demon
strated to the palpable satisfaction Of all
their senses. And then some OF these
would lapse as sure as Adam ate little
apples, in order to get chance to tackle

tisement in the Lesvsnworth papers

q scientific improvement on the formula
invented by Providence"
The subject is as illimitabls as the
great benefits and blessings given to
mankind through the agency Of the

pertinent; it is q sublime fact. You
cannot enter community in our land
where there are not glad, joyful, living

ease caused by slchohol can inspire q

A BOON TO HUMANITY.
What Graduate of the Kelley Institute
Has to Say Of the Cure.

that distinguished orator and friend OF
humanity, Mrs. Mary E. Lease, in a re-
cent lecture before large audience in
Topeka. Others most eloquent on ros-
trum and in pulpit are paying tributes
no less powerful than the above to the
wonderful magic Of remedy born Of the
inspiration of one who has immortslized
himself in giving to the world so price
less 9 treasure. If there is great re-
joicing among those not afflicted that
the demon which has fastened it's poison
GUS and destroying fangs upon their fel-
lows now shrinks and fees in dismsy,
utterly routed by the power Of the great
remedy, what gratitude and thankful
ness should exist in the hearts Of those
emancipated from the curse OF a terrible
afflictiOn and restored to health and to
reason. Every one who in response to
the Kelley trumpet, whose blast now re-
verberates around the world, has been
numbered among the ressurrected, should
boldly stand forth as sign-post on the
highways Of our civilization with arm
outstretched pointing for the diseased
cursed victim OF alchohol the road that
will lead to his salvation; not through
false pride remain in the shadows as his
fellow man totters stumbling by on the
road to destruction. This false pride is
the evil genius Of a great many who
would otherwise take the Kelley cure.
The expense and loss Of time are also inn
pediments sometimes, allowed to stand in
the way.
Here are some Of the offspring of q
false sentiment that withhold SO many
embezzlement, forgery, desertion Of fam
lily, murder, suicide, lifs's sentence in
the penitentiary, or dishonored grave;
and the grinning spectre looks gleefully
on rs it views it's progeny. False, indeed,
for It's victims reject heaven and invite
hell, and get it. Then the expense and
time consumed in taking the cure-too
expensive, can't afford it, lose too much
time. Bright idea: Will quit without
it, save the money and time. Good reso-
luton; ought to be put on record; let's
drink to it. Before the resolution is
fully indorsed it becomes diluted in
enough slchohol to pay for several
Keeley cures.
Under some circumstances what
logical being is man. With varying ex-
periences; ranging from few years up
to many in devotinG tife's earnings to
drinking whisky. Three or four weeks
time and the earnings Of one or two
weeks, more or less, are luxuries too
great in getting rid OF a dsmning and
expensive disorder.
The writer has been asked many times
since becoming q student Of the
Academic des PhiloSophe" "a term Rp-
piled to the Topeka Kesley Institute by
genial, jovisl "Billie" King, Of Hays
City hotel fame, and recent graduate,
if ones vigor and strength were not
greatly impaired by the treatment; il
the effects were not lasting in debilitat-
ing ones system. I will answer in all
candor: There are cases in which con-
siderable debility results; in many, to be
truthful I will explain: A largo per
cent. of patients enter the institution
full-ngged, with flying jib and spanker
thrown out to the breeze. A few come
