The committee of the Congregational
council al Syracuse sets bad example for
the state department when it reports reso-
buttons asking that the government be
more alive to the interests Of missionaries

language would be justified. but better re-
suits are expected If diplomatic language

CATTLE AND WASTE OF FODDER.

Professor G. G. Georgeson in writ
ing to the Prairie Farmer says: "The
immense proportions of the live stock
interest in this country, which on
January l, 1894, was valued at 50, no. :
900, 200, and the many millions OF
people who are directly interested
therein, combine to make the simple
question of how to feed and what to
feed and the proper saving of food one
of the most important economic ques-
tions in the whole realm of our indus
trial activity. This may appear like
startling proposition, but its truth
will be granted when we take a full
view of the interests involved. 1t Is,
/ think, acknowledged that an extra
ordinary waste of food takes place on
American farms, especially in the
West. Let him who doubts it watch
our corn fields in winter, where two
fifths of the food raised still remains
to be destroyed by the elements; let
him watch our burning straw stacks
and our wasteful methods of fee ding;
the waste of manure, the waste by in
judicious use of foods, and the conse-
quent failure to get the best returns
in meat and milk. Where sum like
the above is involved the proper or
improper use of food may make the
difference of hundreds of millions OF
dollars annually"

The Sneed of ELECTRICITY.

The speed Of electricity under the
most favorable conditions is now es-
tablished to be 100000 miles second.
What this enormous speed implies is
somewhat dimly suggested by an Illus
tration recently used by the eminent
scientist Sir Robert Bell. Suppose that
a row of telegraph posts 25,OO0 miles
long were erected around the earth at
the equator. Suppose that wire were
stretched upon these posts for this cir
cult of 25,OOO miles, and that then an
other complete circuit was taken by
the same wire around the same posts,
and then another and yet another. In
fact. let the wire be wound no fewer
than seven times completely about this
great globe. We should then find that
an electric signal sent into the wire at
one end would accomplish the circuit
in one second of time.-St Louis Globe
