FUTURE OF ELECTRICITY.
In Storage Batteries Il hay Become rs COM
mon rs OIL.

Mr.. Frank W. Hawley, who came
into prominence about a year ago
in connection with the trials of cleo
tricity for the propulsion of boats
on the Erie canal. gave n talk on
storage batteries few days ago at
the Waldorf in New York, says the
Scientific Machinist, of which the
following is synopsis:
zone of the most perplexing prob
lens connected with electrical de-
velopment." he said. "has been the
invention of perfect storage bat
terry. Much thought and labor have
been expended on the subject by
chemists and electrical experts, but
the results have not been what
could be wished for. Great I'M
provements, however, have been
made, and we can reasonably hope
that the near future will produce
battery that will meet all the re-
auirements of science and of COM
merce, which hope is strengthened
by recent statements of Prof. Ost-
valid, the great German author t.
on electro-chemistry, and others.
As soon as good storage battery
is put upon the market. we shall see
the steam locomotive discarded and
electricity become the great motive
power. Such batteries would be
suitable for canal propulsion and
would meet with ready adoption on
the street car lines of our cities"
Mr.. Hawley referred to the grow
ing use of storage batteries in con-
nection with electric light and pow
er plants. These must otherwise
have a generating apparatus suffi-
cient to supply the maximum de-
mand; a demand which continues
but small part of the day. For
the balance of the time the plant
must be operated at a fraction of
it's capacity and consequently at a
loss. But these batteries enable a
smaller plant to run on full time,
and meet all the demands made
upon il at any period of the day
They also enable IL to store by day
a sufficient quantity for each nights
requirements.
Attention was called to the utility
of storage batteries as safeguards
against any failure of electrical
supply. They will be a wise pre-
caution when electricity comes into
general use for domestic and pow
cr purposes. They might also be
employed wherever currents are re-
ceived by overhead wires. since such
exposed lines are always liable to
be damaged by the elements- Mr..
Hawiey does not, however, consider
them absolutely necessary, butonly
"a possible convenience. II 10 dit

finish a course in shorthand and
bookkeeping.
Prof. Fox is the busiest teacher
in the school. He has four classes
in bookkeeping, besides others in
different branches.
We will venture to say there is
not a school in the state of Kansas
with as many pretty girls and ugly
boys as this College.
Prof. Rowell's German class
meet on Monday evenings at the
residence of Prof. Bowman, where
they hold an hours conversation in
German.
The class in physiology. under
the splendid instruction OF Prof'
Montgomery, are progressing finely
and a great deal of enthusiasm is
being manifested.
Miss Burress has now about Y
pupils enrolled in the Music depart
ment. Miss Burress is one of the
best music teachers in Southern
Kansas. All her pupils are enthu'

SUBMARINE CABLES.

There are now twelve transatlan-
tic cables connecting Europe with
Canada and the United States, and
steps have been taken to lay cable
across the Pacific from British Co
lumbia to Australasia BY the way
of the Fiji islands. The circle of
the earth then will be completed,
but not so directly as it would be
by a cable from America to Japan,
says the Scottish American.
There are now $4,000 miles of
submarine cable, in round num-
bers, of which 10 per cent have
been supplied by various govern
ments and the rest by private en-
terprise. They connect into one
system over million miles of land
wires, ramifying different countries.
The cables have cost about 40 mil
lion pounds sterling and the land
lines Is million pounds sterling.
but the money has been well spent,
for the benefits of the telegraph are
incalculablc.
1t controls the commerce of the
world, which has risen TO nearly
4 billion pounds sterling year, or,
more precisely, 1,940 million pounds
sterling of exports and Ito million
pounds sterling of imports. 1t en-
ables international disputes to be
settled without recourse to arm $,
as in 1881. when the British cabinet
was in direct communication with
the Beer leaders of the Transvaal.
1t brings war that has broken out
to speedy conclusion, and keeps
the public informed as to its
hourly progress az in the case
of Egypt, where the lombard
ment of Alexandria was known
in London few minutes after
the first shot was fired. and tele-
grams were dispatched from the
battlefield of Suakim, in the East
ern Soudau. while the fight was go
ing on.
Above all, by putting the remot'
est parts of the world in contact
with each other, il tends to destroy
the barriers of isolation and preju.
dice, making antipathy give place
to sympathy and hatred to loving

Electricity In Thunderstorms.

What produces the electricity in
n thunderstorm? This question of
perennial interest, both TO the sci
cntific man and the ordinary in
quirer can scarcely be said to be
completely and satisfactorily solved,
says the New York Times. 1t has,
however, been generally supposed
that the big drops in thunder
shower were the results of electrifi-
cation, for working an electrical
machine in fog causes the minute
drops to adhere together and form
larger ones. But now comes devel-
opments that render il probable
that the big drops are not results
but causes at least of part of the cleo
tricity manifested. When n drop
splashes on metal plate the latter
becomes electrified, and il is now
believed that every such drop car
ries a double layer of electricity,
positive and negative. On the
drops these neutraIize each other,
but the splash dissipates one and
so renders the other evident. The
same thing would happen if two
drops splashed against each other
in the air, as often must be the case,
and hence, perhaps, by the aggre-

The True intelligence Is to be Pound In Ones
Aims and Ideals.

The True Intelligence Is to De Pound In Ones
Aims and Ideals.
One source of unconscious edu-
cation is to be found in our aims
and ideals. These are the motives
by which we are actuated, says
President Bradley in the Kansas
City Times. To a large extent they
have already made us what we are.
All good work, all high endeavors
are born of aspiration. "Hope tells
flattering tale" Fancies light as
air, springing from the incidents
which the world deemed trivial,
have been cherished in the heart of
boy till they have made him
great. Thought makes character.
AS a man thinketh in his heart, so
he u.s." He who does not think high
things, whose imagination does not
revel in glowing pictures OF what
he hopes to be and to do, will not
achieve high things. Every youth
has his day dreams, his half formed
ideas. We can not guard too close.
" this fountain head of our aspira-
tons. The thought quickly passes
over into action. The idea becomes
the real. The germs of pestilence
i'm the body are not more active to
destroy the health than false ideals
are to corrupt the character. They
poison the very springs of action,
making one II spendthrift. or n lib
ertinc; of another Il quack or "a
miser.
Henry Schlieinann, while yet an
errand boy, resolved that he would
one day unbury Troy. His bold
purpose and the wide rcnown
which il afterwards brought him
were born of his boyish dreams.
He would never have found Troy,
he tells us, had il not been for the
inspiration he caught while read
ing Homer. The youth who IL
strong enough to drive out all I'M
worthy aims, who will make room
for no ideals but those that are
high and pure, is training himself
toward noble manhood and en-
during success. He may never
reach his ideal for that will advance
with his progress; but, like hope II
will beckon him on and nerve him
for still higher achievement.

such wires failing to properly
transmit currents, particularly in
the light of past experience in cleo
trical distribution.
"In no way" he stated, sis the SUI
periority of the present age more
manifest than in it's ability to con-
troll the powers of nature and vend
them in the market place. Oil has
long been sent TO the great cities by
means of pipe lines, and to remote
districts in tank cars. Electricity
will he similarly distributed. 1t
will be flashed over leagues of
space on cables following the high
ways of commerce, and storage bat
terry cars having an enormous ca
pacity will be constructed and
filled either at generating stations
in the coal districts, or at stations
where the current is generated by
water power. These could be sent
to their destinations just as oil cars
now are, and their contents deliver
ed to local distributing stations, or
directly to lighting or power mains"
Mr.. Hawley directed attention TO
the fact than in nearly every state
in the Union there are great depos-
its of coal so poor that it would not
pay to mine and transport by land
or water. But If generating sta
ton should be located at those
mines, the poor coal could be trans
formed into electric energy, stored
in such cars as referred to, and thus
shipped to sections where a direct
current could not be sent. In the
lumber districts of Michigan, also,
il would be entirely practicable to
erect portable generating stations,
refuse timber could be worked up,
affording power to operate mills or
for any other need, and the surplus
could be similarly transported else
where for light, heat and other pur-
poses.
These" he concluded, "are some
of the numerous uses that could be
made of the perfected storage bat
teries. When once in successful
operation, countless other uses will
be found for them, Electricity has
shown itself capable of infinite SER
vice. and it's field is daily widening.
II can bear thought on its rhythmic
wings around the globe; carry the
human voice hundreds of miles;
deliver messages on board moving
trains; flash into dazzling splen-
doris along our city thoroughfares;
light the abyss of the ocean; oper-
ate countless automatic devices;
warm us when cold; fan MS when
heated, and treasure up and repeat
all sounds and harmonies. At the
summons of inventive genius II has
outwrought the dreams of magic
1t would, therefore, be idle TO say
that the end is yet"
