Cornstalk Possibilities.

Mr.. Prater of st. Louis, who is con
nected with Il cornttak enterprise at
Owensboro. K, anu has given the pro
duct careful scientific study, was in
New Orleans the other day and talked
5entertainingly to Picayune reporter
with regard to the possibilities of the
cornstalk. It is his candid opinion
that within few years the farmers
of the country will be receiving from
SIS to $25 per acre for their cornstalks
Mills i'll be establie he'd in the South
and other parts of the country, he
says, and pretty nearly the whole crop
OF cornstalks-at any rate, that part
of the crop which is grown on farms
contiguous to railway lines-will be
used in the mills. The market for the
manufactured products is already
made as the products will be staple ar
ticles in constant demand.
OF the products that may be evolved
from the matured cornstalk-the stalk
which has borne its grain-Mr. Prater
enumerates cellulose, celluloid, smoke
less gunpowder, lacquer. cattle feed,
roofing material, and material that
viii answer every purpose of papier-
mache. Green stalks. he says, are
rich in glucose, and will yield better
quality and finer sugar with less ex-
pense than can be made from the cane
of Louisiana.

Can Electricity BE Stolen. :.

This interesting question was recent
I ly decided by the Supreme Court OF
the German Empire, on an appeal from
the decision of lower court, affirming,
that the defendant in this case had ap
propriated electric power from the
conduits of company in an unlawful
manner. The charge against the de-
fendant was larceny and embezzle
ment.
The lower court held that the act OF
the defendant was neither larceny nor
embezzlement, because electricity or
the electric current could not be con-
sidered movable or personal property
according to lay. The law understood
by the term object piece of the ir-
rational nature, the body or the mate
rialness of a thing or object was it's par
amount feature according to the Ger
man civil law, with which the criminal
law coinciGed. 4Bodyless things. as
rights, products of the mind, mechanic
cal power. could, therefore, not be OBJ
jects of theft or embezzlement. This
argument applied to electricity also.
The expert witness in the case had
testified. that the question at issue was
a science, which was not completely
understood by any means. 1t was
but the innermost action was just as
little explained, as it had been shown,
why and how the muscle of the human
arm could produce power. In science
the assumption that current or
fuidum was transmitted. was abandon
ed more and more, and scientists be-
gan to incline to the belief that elec-
tric ity was not an Individual or inde-
pendent thing, but a condition trans
mitted along the wire, and that it pre-
sumably consisted in the vibrations of
the molecules of the bodies.
The Supreme Court now holds that
no legal error can be found in the opin-
ion of the lower court. The lower
court had argued rightly that only a
piece of the matter filling space could
be considered ''thing" in the sense of
the German criminal code, hence the
materialness, the body of an object was
its paramount feature. The material
ness of the electric current not having
been established, the court decided
that electricity cannot be the object of
theft or embezzlement under the pres
ent law. AS there was no law covering
the case there could be no punishment.

Another Curfew Town,

Hutchinson, Kansas, is now curfew
town. No boy nor girl of sixteen years
old or under is permitted on the streets
after o'clock in the evening unless
accompanied by parent or having a
written permit. This curfew business
is becoming fad and promises to
spread. If a child cannot be permitted
to play in the street in front of his
home after O'Clock on hot summer
evening without peril of the Jail, gov
ernment by police is going to great
length. Like all other fads, it will run

American Heroism..

A splendid volume could be written,
giving incidents of personal heroism
during the civil war. There were many
cavalry charges. compared with which
the famous charge of the Light Brigade
at Balaklava pales. There were in
stance in abundance where men of both
armies willingly gave their lives for the
cause, not going into action and in the
excitement of turmoil, taking chances
of life or death. But where men cool
ly and deliberately volunteered to go
to certain death. At the Charles ton
banquet to the naval officers last week,
Secretary Herbert referred to some of
them. The following will bear repeat
ing: Writers never tire of telling US of
the discipline and devotion Of the
Roman soldier, as illustrated by the
remains of centurion dug out from
the ruins of Herculaneum, where,
standing erect at his post, he had been
overwhelmed by the lava. But beyond
and above these seem to me to stand
the heroism of Lieutenant Dixon, Cap
tain Carlton and five men who, with a
little torpedo boat, sank the Housa
tonic in these waters. Five times this
boat had sunk before she could be
brought to bear upon the enemy. Each
time all her crew, except one at one
time and three at another, had perish
ed beneath the waters, but there were
always volunteers to man the little
craft. The sixth crew was successful.
They sank the Housatonic, but for the
sixth time the torpedo boat went down
with her crew. When, after the war,
the wrecks were being removed the lit
tie boat was discovered on the bottom
about hundred yards from the Housa-
tonic. Every man was at his post"

Nearly a Mill n Week.

While the Northern cotton mills are
shutting down entirely or working on
short time in order to curtail produc-
ton, the Southern mills are running
night and day. Great reason exists for
the belief that the South is to be the
great cotton manufacturing district of
the United States. SO far, at least, as
the production of the coarse yarns and
fabrics is concerned. Sixty six cotton
mills were built in the Uuited States
last year, and of this number forty six
were constructed in the South, while
nearly every week chronicles the erec-
ton of new mill.-Florida Citizen.
