When we sit in front of coal fire ana
aniov It's generous warmth, do we realize
that the heat and light of the burning
coal are really sunshine that has been
stored up for ages? Such Is the fact.
Centuries ago the sun shone ON the
earth, and plants and trees grew, fell
and grew again. They were covered by
geologic deposits and acted upon by
great heat and pressure, until III the
course of years or ages these broad lay
ers of organic matter were transformed
into coal. The coal thus represents the
work done by the sunshine years ago,
and when it is burned the imprisoned
solar energy is loosened again.
Our system of power production de-
pends upon this presence Of energy. But
coal is a wasteful source of energy.
Even the best engines do not utilize
over 10 per cent Of the calculated energy
of the heat of coal, and besides this 1t
is an inconvenient thing in many ways.
1t has to be mined, freighted and stored.
Can we not find some more economical
way of using the suns energy?
During the last few years the great
progress in electrical science has enabled
man to utilize the solar heat i'll a
thrifter way. During its days work
the sun draws up large amount of
water from the oceans and the damp
earth BY the action of its rays plant
life flourishes, and plants draw from
the ground and evaporate into the air
large amounts of water. Thus an oak
tree of average size, with 700, 900
leaves, lifts from the earth into the air
about 1873 tons of water during the five
months it displays its foliage. This
eyaporated water, sooner or later, falls
as rain, and by the action of gravity be-
gins to flow downward. Thus the great
rivers are fed. Round and round inces-
sanity goes the water lifted by the tire
less sun to fall when deserted by him,
and again to be lifted, and again to fall
and run seaward as long as it may exist
upon this earth. North American Re-

New Games Wanted.

1t is natural, we suppose, that the
games played at any one time should be
very few. Vanity comes in with its IL
resistible influence to secure that result.
The classes initiate each other, and for
competition to be severe there must be
similarity of effort. A man cannot be
great in a game known only to vii
lage, and for fame to be as widely
diffused as that of the great cricketers
cricket must be played, or at least COM
pretended, by an entire nation. 1t is,
however, matter for some surprise that
new outdoor games are SO exceedingly
few and are SO slow to catch hold. In
our time only two have become really
popular, lawn tennis and golf, and of
those the first never descended to the
people and is said to be now slowly de
caying.
Polo Of course can never be popular
in land where the masses do not ride,
and baseball, the American game, has
never caught ON in England, while our
winters are too uncertain for the people
even to learn exciting ice games, like
curling. 1t is hard to believe, however,
that ingenuity has reached its limit in
devising outdoor sports or that men are
too conservative ever to accept new ideas
for games We can offer no suggestion,
but there must be hundreds of minds
moro pliable than ours at work upon the
subject, and we may remark that no
democratic game has ever yet been start
ed-that is, no game in which hundreds
or even thousands can feel themselves
active participators. At present the few
play, and the multitudes look on, but
they will not be content to do that for
ever, and we should not be surprised if,
30 years hence, there were a game in
vogue which was more national" than
cricket and which occupied in the daily
papers oven larger space. -Saturday Re-

NOVELTIES OF ELECTRICITY
The Coming Swiss Exhibition Will Surpass
All Others In This.


The Swiss National exposition, which
begins at Geneva ON May next and ter
inmates on Oct. 10, bids fair, in the
matter of interesting novelties, to sur
pass any national display made since
the centennial. A full account of its
scope is given by United States Consul
Ridgley, at Geneva, in report to the
state department. and he says that Swiss
residents in America are invited to
make exhibits. Probably because Theo-
dore Turrettini, mayor of Geneva and
the most distinguished electrical en-
gineer in Europe, is president of the ex-
position the electrical exhibit will be the
finest ever seen. The river Rhine sup
plies 10, 900 horsepower, to be electrical

There will be travelling footpath oper-
ated by electricity, traversing the great
machinery hall; horseless cabs driven
by electricity, appliances for aerial navi.

many other electrical appliances.

will exhibit the uses Of this low tenn

perfumes and chemicals, the cure of

AN EXPENSIVE HOG.
Court Costs of $500 In a Suit Over %
Porker,

Porlxer,
A suit as to the ownership of a hog
worth Sc has just been decided in the
Pike county (Ky.) quarterly court. One
year ago Melvin Hall, prominent Shell
by Creek farmer, sold his next door
neighbor, Sam Childers, small hog.
Halls wife, after learning Of the trans
action, laid claim to the animal and at
once took legal steps to recover it.
Both sides employed counsel, and
after four trials in the district magis-
trate's court the case was appealed to
the Pike quarterly court, which has just
decided that Mrs. Hall is the rightful
owner of the hog and entitled to all her
costs.
There were so witnesses in the case,
and some of them were compelled to
travel 40 miles in order to testify.
Childers, who was beaten in the case,
is prominent and wealthy farmer, and
the suit, including attorney fees, court s
costs and witnesses claims, has cost
him over $500. -Cincinnati CONNER

The Saloon and Prohibition.

, Ed. TINES As the pending prohibit
ton question, seems to be occupying
public attention and causing much ir-
| ritatlng discussion; and having recent
ly been asked 10 sign an anti petition
to abolish the saloon: and having de-
clined to do so, will give herein some of
my views on the subject to those who
care to read them.
In my view OF the question, proper
ly conducted saloon, is an institution
that has grown out of the social condi-
ton OF orr nature; and is as natural n
appe-. dage to community as it's hotel.
1t can have in itself no inherent evil,
as all of the elements of which it is
composed pervade the whole communl-
ty and are participated in in social life.
1t lacks only the restraining influence
that environs home life. Buteve that
often fails to restrain, and alas poor
weak man, surrenders to his folly,

saloon any inherent power to debauch

vote within the limits of the town or
