A novel application of the trolley sys- lem is being planned at the Lake Su- perior mining district in Michigan, where it is proposed to run a road to Marquette, the nearest lake port, which will generate it's own electricity. This, it is thought, will be possible, because there is a heavy grade, which loaded cars go down, while they return empty in the other direction. Dynamos will be placed in each car, which will transfer all the power of gravity, not needed for the descent, to the wires in the form of electricity, which can be used for drawing the empty cars up the grade.

"A potato tercentenary is proposed in England. Tn 1596 the first potato was planted in England in Holborn, about the time that Sir Walter Raleigh was planting the first Irish potato at You- ighal, near Cork. For two centuries the potato continued as a botanical curios- ity. When first eaten it was a delicacy, sometimes roasted and steeped in sack, or baken with marrow and spices or preserved and candied. When Parmen- tier developed the plant in France, Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette wore the flowers as ornaments. Frederick the Great had a force of Pomeranian farmers to plant potatoes by the fear of his soldiers. It was the famine of 1771-72 in Germany that first demon strated the value of the tubers.

How does Cleveland like the po-

the silver question? Wilson is not
exactly certain how his boss will
like his swinging round the circle
in the interest Of free silver, and
his entrance into Illinois will be
under the guise Of lecture at the
Centralia educational gathering.
While there he will very unexpect-
eddy deliver the free silver speech
that he is privately booked for. 1t
is a whipping Of the devil around

some steps towards heading off the

He had better let that job out un-

split the party in twain. There is

on the part OF the silver wing Of
the party, which does not take its
financial pahulum out of the presi-

party is Of the opinion that it is a
Presidents duty to execute the
laws and not to monkey with the

this opinion they are fixed and
will resent any interference by the
