EertiIiztuy with Electricity.

l1r. Nikola Tesla, the electrical expert
and inventor, has recently suggested
the possibility Of employing electricity
as ferti!izing agent for the soil. The
currents produced by perfected electri-
cal oscillators. he says, are capable OF
causing the chemical combination OF
the nitrogen with the oxygen Of the at,
mosphere. If this combination were
carried on upon an industrial scale
which he thinks is possible. then the
product could be used as a fertilizer
and in his poinion the benefits to hui
manity would be incalculable.

Procvon,s Co,unapion.

Many years ago the great German
mathematician, Bessel. announced that
both Sirius and Procyon-popularly
known as the dog og-stars-possessed in
visible compa mons revolving around
them. He was led to this conclusion by
studying the motions of those stars. In
1862 the companion Of Sirius was dis
covered with the telescope, and during
the present year 1t has reappeared,
after being invisible for six years
through too close proximity to its bril-
liant comrade. Quickly following the
temperance of Sirius companion has
also come the discovery of the compan-
Ion Of Procyon, which had never been
seen until Professor SchaebeI1e caught
sight of it with the great telescope OF
the Lick Observatory a few weeks ago.

Shot Ahead of Armor Again.

Only a few years ago a process was
discovered by means Of which the ar
NOR plates Of war ships could be SO
hardened on the face that the best pro-
1ectiles were shattered on striking
them. This was regarded as decisive
victory for arnor over guns. Recently,
however, the tables have been turned
once more The first step, according
to the Scientific American, was the
placing Of cap Of soft steel on the
point Of the projectile. This enabled
the shot to penetrate the armor plate
by preventing the breaking Of the
point. Then increased velocity was
given to the shot by the use Of improved
powder. The result was that a six-inch
solid shot was sent through ten inches
of face-hardened steel, twelve inches Of
oak-backing and three additional
p,ates, each seven-sixteenths of an
inch thick, after which the shot prac.
tically unimpaired, buried itself eight
feet In a bank Of sand. The expert
ments were made in this country, and
both the best armor and the best shots

from the wagon, seized his victim and
threw her down beside the road. The
Finn girl ran away screaming, and was
heard by persons living in a house not
far away. They rushed to the scene
and 1t was thought, prevented Peters
from accomplishing his purpose. The
child, however, was overcome by fright
and nervousness, and the people in the
vicinity, who by this time had become
thoroughly aroused, followed Peters who
was driving away. He was arrested
soon afterwards and brought here.
The Rollins child was an orphan, liv.
Ing with relatives here. She semed to
be recovering from her experience, when
she suddenly became Frustrated and
died soon afterward.
