working splendidly so far and bids fair
to prove as brilliant success as the

rapid motion. A OOO-candle-power
Westinghouse dynamo is attached to

there are two powerful engines, whiz-
zing at rapid speed, charging the mag

with this mysterious fluid, which
knows no end of force. The little ex.

playing an important part in this mys-
terious force. Smyrna has now q we'll.

Peach Prnsnacts

The warm weather of the past ten
days has swollen the peach buds until
they are as large as small peas. An
other ten days of such weather would
bring them into full blooIa. The buds
are all alive yet and the warm weather
has done them no damage, but growers
fear that the unusual advancement at
this date will render them an easy prev
to later frOsts.
RepOrts-just how reliable they are
we cannot say-frOm many other sec
ton of the United States say that the
peach buds are damaged.
The cold weather of two weeks ago
is said to have caught the buds of
Georgia peach trees in bloom and de.
strOyed most of them. At the same
time the mercury went pretty low in
New York, and is said to have killed
the young peach buds in the Hudson
River Valley.
Reports say that the peach buds are
all killed in Illinois, Indiana and Mis-
souri,, and damage done them in Ten.
