10 1t the Awful Forco That Will Finally
Destroy the World?
"Take spade, turn up small guam
tity of soil, hold a portion in your hand,
hold it to your ear, then smell it. You
will observe first slight motion, hear
faint sound as of the moving of dis
tant timber, and readily notice the odor
of heat. Do you know that the forces
held in your hand are from electricity;
that the earth for three feet deep is alive
with the invisible power and forms the
secret of vegetable life? Waves of
electricity are constantly passing
through the soil in unseen pillows, thus
keeping the soil from souring, as the
pillows of the ocean keep the waters
from becoming stagrant. To demon
strate this fact, go to some rock bound
pool, dip out small quantity Of the
polluted water, place it in a bottle, cork
and set aside in warm place for short
time. Then take the bottle into dark
room, shake the bottle. draw out the
cork, and you will see tiny forks of blue
lightning shoot out from the bottle, and
if you keep perfectly quiet you will hear
faint mutterings like thunder. This
comes from the f1intlike rocks prevent
ing the unbroken flow of electricity
through the soil and from the air be-
coming charged and emptying itself in
to the water.
Electricity, as is being gradually
shown, is fire-the fire of friction, if
you will, the first known by the inhabit-
ants of our globe. Look at an arc lamp
and see its combined sparks as they
emit from the carbons SO swiftly that
they are taken for regular fame of eye
bedazzling light. In the ages to come
the charge IF electricity will keep on
accommodating until some commotion
Of the earth will cause it to ignite,
when, in the twinkling of All eye, our
world, with all it contains, will be ell
wrapped and consumed by confagra-
ton that will startle if not brighten tie
inhabitants of other planets as they look
down upon the flaming mass and see
burn up one of the greatest works OF the
Almighty's creation. " - Philadelphia

She Couldn't Quite Understand Why the
Shopman Was So Gracious.
A pretty story is told of Mrs. Harold
Mccormick while she was Miss Edith
Rockefeller, showing the simple manner
in which she regarded her fathers great
wealth.
The incident occurred when she was
q pupil at one Of the fashionable New
York schools. She, with party of girls
from her class, presented herself at GER
tain furniture dealers to choose gift
for favorite teacher The price of the
pretty writing desk, however, was more
than the sum in their possession. The
girls suggested that if the desk was
sent they would forward the balance as
soon as possible.
The proprietor very politely, but also
very decidedly, informed the girls that
he could not do as they asked. "But, "
he said, "if you can thank of any New
York business man with whom any of
your fathers are acquainted and who
will vouch for you the matter may pos
slbly be arranged.
"Why," said the daughter of the
great petroleum magnate, II think my
papa has an office down on Broadway.
Possibly we can get the money there. -
"Who is your father!" queried the
dealer.
"His name is Rockefeller. replied
the girl simply; "John D. Rockefeller.
He is in the oil business. y
The merchant gasped and looked at
the girl is amazement John D. Rookie
Teller your father? Is John D. Rookie
Teller good for 1852" lie repeated in ex-
citement.
Then he recovered his presence of
mind sufficiently to order the desk pack

Edith very much astcnishod at his MI

pretty and simple grace. Philadelphia

property as lies within the confines of San
Francisco"
The Frank property was then brought to
Mr.. Chesebrough's attention. The Hiber-
MIA Bank holds mortgage on this prop
erty for 1920. 600, assessed at $130. $40, and
a clause in the mortgage provides that the
building, assessed for but $22. $50, must be
kept insured for $57 .00O
Mr.. Chesebrough contended that the
same state of affairs existed in all the
other counties of the State, in as far as in
dlvidual property interests were con-
cerned and possibly in the same ratio in
comparison with property values.
Messrs. Morehouse and Beamer stated
that they could quote ike instances as oc-
curing in San Francisco for a week s
time, and Mr.. Cnesebrough suggested
that the stagnation in business circles at
the present time be taken into consid era
ton.
Then Beamer rubbed down Cheese
biough's ruffied plumes by saying that in
his opinion the latter had presented the
best defense the Bay City had ever had
since his term of office on the board, and
an adjournment was taken.
