The uses Of electricity are already SO
many, wonderful and varied that it is
not sensible to be surprised and doubt
full when some new and strange use of
it is proposed. One of the latest ideas
about electricity is that 1t can be used
to dissipate fogs. Professor oliver
jar filled with magnesium smoke or
with steam could be readily cleared by
an electrical discharge. Experiments
in rooms filled with thick turpentine
smoke have shown that the air can be
speedily cleansed of it's solid particles
by discharges of electricity Of high po-
tential Professor Lodge came to this
country on a steamship which was de-
tanned for several hours outside the
straits Of Belle Isle by a dense fog.
This experience set him to thinking,
and he wrote of it as follows: Fog is
an unmitigated nuisance. Electric
light is powerless to penetrate it, and
as we lay there idle it was impossible
not to be struck with the ACCESSIBILITY
of dissipating it. 1t is rash to predict
what can be done. 1t is still rasher to
predict what cannot be done. I would
merely point out that on board a
steamer are donkey engines and that
these can drive very powerful Holtz
or Wimshurst machine, one pole of
which may be led to points on the
masts. When electricity is discharged
into fog on a small scale the fog coag-
ulates into globules and falls as rain.
Perhaps it will on large scale, too
Alexander Meade expresses in the
North American Review his belief that
Professor Lodges idea could now be
put to test in a practical way. He
points out that all steamships and fer
ryboats of any size are now provided
with dynamos, which could easily gen.
crate high potential currents. 1t would
be a comparatively easy and inexpen-
sive matter, by using suitable trans
formers in series, to run up to a poten-
tial of forty or fifty thousand volts,
and by proper arrangement Of termi-
mails, either from the mastheads of from
poles expressly rugged for the purpose,
the fog all around a ship might be as
sailed with electric discharges. He is
of the opinion that within a reasona-
BILE distance such discharges would cer-
tainly dissipate the fog and clarity the
air." He admits that the supply of fog
might be so great as not to be affected
by such electrical discharges, but he
thinks that such case would be ex-
ceptional. AS a rule, strong winds do
not prevail during fogs, and in most
cases a fog has well-marked local linn
its. 1t will certainly fill the people of
New York, and of other cities largely
dependent upon ferryboats for trans
portation, with agreeable anticipations
to be told by Mr.. McAdie that "the task

REALISTIC STAGE EFFECTS.

The sphere of the stage manager has
widened since the days when Mr..
Vincent Crummles considered the in
PRODUCTION of a pump and two tubs on
the stage a notable achievement in
realism. A drawing room scene is
now furnished with almost as much
care and expense as if it were actually
an apartment in the West End, while
the inevitable attack in a modern mill
tary drama is incomplete without the
aid of a complement of Maxim guns,
Where there is such close adherence
TO reality, part of the credit is due to
the upholsterer and the ordnance
manufacturer 1t is the invention of
subtle devices by which the spectator
is completely illusioned, frequently by

The Gentlewoman gentlewomanly
says that almost all the morning dress
es worn by the German empress are
made at home, and her majesty in this
way is able to economize greatly.
When in private she likes to be dressed
as simple as possible, and her favorite
costume is a serge skirt with a pretty
blouse and a simple straw hat. She
has, however, one great trial, and that
is a tendency to grow stout. For her
self she would not mind, but the en-
peror has a horror for having a fat
wife, and the poor empress is obliged
to diet herself and to wear clothes
much too tight for her. This is said to
be the greatest trial of her life, as the
emperor is always advising her what
to do. and insists upon her taking an
immense amotnt of exercise. Her
majesty, however, has still a shapely
figure, and she is less stout than she
was year ago.

The general manager has doubts as to

that there is call for additional legis-

preciating his value as a pastor, pro
posed at a meeting Wednesday even

her rendition on the piano with orches-

tion was cheered loudly by the auditors,
after its completion.
The closing address by the class
president, Fred Anderson Webb, was a
fitting one. The subject of education
was gone into thoroughly and the value
of the common school discussed. A
tribute was paid TO the board OF educa-

The Grammar Department.

The graduating exercises of the gram
mar department were held at the opera
house, Thursday evening, and here also
the crowd was as large as could be ac-
commodated. The colors used in decor
ating were green and pink, and above
the stage was the motto, mo Excellence
without Labor" The class, 80 in num-
Der, was the largest ever promoted TO
the high school.
The program as published in the
Northerner last week was fully carried
out. The opening piece, piano solo
by Gail Parks, WAS well rendered. Rev.
II w Harvey made the opening prayer.
The salutatOry by Daisy Lord was "a
pleasant welcome TO those who were
present, and kind remarks were address
ed by her TO the class and teacher.
A vocal duet, Song of the Birds, "
was fautlessly sung by Mrs. +. H. Har-
vey and Miss Rae Slovenian.
Nina Waters gave recitation, Air
Castles" in fine style.
A male quartette, Messrs Reynolds,
Snow, Pepper and More, sang selec-
ton, after which Beryl Gilman read an
essay, Purposes, that was very good
indeed for a grammar department
pupil. Meta Foster followed with a
creditable recitation, Home"
Miss Rae Slovenian sang a beauti-
full solo, after which came the "Class
History" by Mabel Stephens, which was
equal TO most papers of similar charac-

higher department.
Leon Monroe made prophecies, dire
and fanciful, woeful and ludicrous, that
were credit to his imaginative powers.

did it in very satisfactory manner in

board of education presented the di-

Then came an exercise which was not
down on the program, when Winnie
Holt came out from among the class
and in their behalf presented TO Mr..
More fine gold ring as token of their
regard for faithful and efficient teach
err Mr.. More responded in few well
chosen words.
This portion of the program closed
with two selections by the male quar-
tette.
Then came the pretty little operetta,
Rebellion of the Daisies, which was a
very creditable production. The sing.
ing of the pupils was good and the
drills were excellently done, showing q
vast amount of training, which was un-
der the supervision of Mrs. Chappell
and Mr.. More.
Altogether, the grammar school exer.
cises were success.
