Professor l.. H. Bailey Of Cornell
university has been asked to go to
Finland to conduct series OF experi-
ments in electrical plant growing, in
conjunction with Professor Lemstrom
of the University Of Helsingfors. The
experiments to be carried on have
nothing to do with the electric light
or the running Of electric wires
ts.rough the soil for the purpose OF
forcing the growth OF plants by direct
current stimulation. They are to be
based on some pertinent observations
made by Lemstrom, OF the effect Of
the aurora borealis ON the plant growth
Of the North.
1t is q we'll known fact that the
plants of the North arrive at maturity
at a much shorter period of time than
those plants which are grown further
south. 1t is necessary that these
plants should arrive at maturity very
qsickly, inasmuch as the summer
season in the North is very brief, and
it has always been looked upon as .
wise provision of Providence that
plants were enabled to accomplish
their business in life in SO short q
space OF time. Professor Lemstrom.
however, casting aside the providen-
tial idea states that the rapid growth
OF plants in the far North is dua
directly to the light Of the AURORA
borealis. New York Journal.

The Report is False.

1t has come to the knowledge of the
Red Cross ladies' that certain individuals
are circulating the report that our MEM
bers are not satisfied with the returns
from the dance and supper handed us by
the Saturday Night Club. This is not
the case and is a malicious fabrication
on the part of some one desiring to in
jure the Order. Sixty dollars and
sixty-fve cents was very material lift
towards helping our work along and is
duly appreciated by all working mem
bers. We also wish to extend the thanks
of our League to all those. who by many
kind acts, not financial alone, help us on
in the good work.

THE BALL GAME.

From the time No. 2 pulled in Sunday
morning till No. whistled for the bridge
that night there was never doubt but
that the Lovelock's S Ball Team and their
supporters owned the town if they saw
hit to make I IN. Upon the arrival
OF the train y. Der OF tie visiting
team, resplends alfalfa decorations,
were taken in ch, rge and entertained at
the Nevada House until.t was time to
dress for the game. Long before the
game all the available space about the
diamond was occupied by the friends of
the teams. About 2 z. NJ. the teams put
in their appearance and after lew
moments practice the long looked for
and much talked about battle was on.
The Lovelock boys started off very
brayely indeed in fact SO much SO that
disconsolate sighs were about the only
exclamations that could be heard among
the Wadsworth rooters, and though all
were beautifully armed with horns, for
the time these like Othello had lost their
occupation. AT one time the score stood
10 to 2 in favcr of Lovelock then the
Wadsworth team braced up wonderfully
both from an offensive and defensive
stand point and from that time on it
seemed almost impossible for Lovelock to
score while Wadsworih seldom failed to
cross the plate. The final score was 80
to i in favor of our boys.
The Lovelock boys did not seem to be
at thei best. we feel that they can do
better. While after the exhibition our
boys gave after they got to work we do
not think that Lovelucks or any other
team III the state Tor that matter can
beat WadsworIh We predict if Il return
game is played the score will be much
closer. OF course some OF the players
put up better game than others, but
most OF them made the most OF the op-
portunities that came their way. To
mention any would hardly be fair to the
rest. We must say however that the
antics of Warmsley on the diamond and
coacher's line highly amused everyone
unless possibly the umpires.
The game was umpired by Messers
Lynip and Caine and scored by Mr..
Wardleigh. The work OF these officials
was entirely satisfactory to both sides.
After the game rouslng cheers were
given ior both teams, and the Wads-
worth boys lried to make the time pass
pleasantly for their visitors.
The Lovelock boys by their gentle
manly conduct, on and off the field,
made very favorable impression upon
our people and they will be gladly well
coined ii they ever conclude to visit us
again

An American Merchant Marine.

An American Merchant Marine.
"We have created the navy to pro-
tect. 1t now apparently remains to
create tho merchant fleet to be pro-
tected,' writes in The Forum Hon.
Eugene Tyler Chamberlain, United
States commissi* mer Of navigation.
Since we have q navy and a credit
able one, it will DO easier from the
lessons learned in building the war
ships to make merchant vessels. To
Americans Of the younger generation it
has been puzzle why the American
nation lost the worlds carrying trade
that used to be it's glory. The reason is
this, as set forth by Mr.. Chamberlain:
Up to about 1860 the ships Of the world
were Of wood. In America, with our
vast forests, wood was cheaper and
more plentiful than anywhere else in
the civilized world. Consequently we
could build ships to better advantage
than any other people could do.
In 1860, however, change came over
the shipbuilding industry. Vessels of
iron and steel instead of wood began to
be used. Great Britain had both the
mines and the workers to make the
cheapest and best steel vessels, hence
the industry passed bodily over to her,
where it has remained ever since. Com
missioner Chamberlain holds out the
hope, however, that this situation is
egain to be changed. With our immense
area of cheap coal and cheap iron ore
we are beginning to show that we can
make steel at lower rates than England
can. This fact, united with the skill
and knowledge gained by American
workmen in constructing the vessels of
the navy, makes it look as if American
goods might yet put to sea in American
built ships at no far distant time
When our marine commerce is men,
toned, Americans naturally think Of
the sea trade Of the great oceans, par
ticularly that between Europe and the
United States How small a part Of our
real shipping trade that constitutes Mr..
Chamberlain shows us by figures. He
divides the marine trade Of the country
into three portions-frst, our domestic
and coastwise; second, that between our
country and foreign ports on the west
ern continent; third, that across the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans to ports not
less than 1900 miles away. The river,
lake, canal and coasting trade amounts
to 1875, 000,0 900 tons year. The trade
Of vessels making the long distance
ocean trips amounts to slightly moro
than II, 100000 tons year.

No Right to Be Bad Tempered.

CURIOUS question arises III cOnneo-
zion with an essay in '.The Ideal Life,

Henry Drummond and brought out since.

dresses delivered by Drummond at yari-
GUS times. One of them is called eli
Temper 1t takes the ground that bad
tempeA rs an evil which requires to DO
abolished like drunkenness or dishonesty
or lying or anything else that makes
mankind miserable
The question that arises is this, there
fore, Has human being any right ever
to indulge in a fit Of i'll temper? When
he does so, he makes everybody around
him wretched, himself included, and
Injuries his own health. We once knew
an old man who brought on epilepsy
and died Of it simply by years of indul-
gence in fiercc and cruel temper.
The person who "raises Cain. - who
tears and destroys, RACES and knocks
down and drags out is for the time
lunatic. There is no sense or reason in
him. Insanity, even temporary, is not
for the good of anybody. Quite as dis
astrous in it's effects is the kind Of bad
temper that sulks, that is sour and
grumpy and has not civil word for
anybody. The sull1y temper fit lasts
longer than the furious temper fit, but
one is as wicked as the other. The two,
the sulker and the violent lunatic,
ought to be shut up and fed on bread
and water till the crazy fit is over ev-
cry time there are symptoms of all at
tack.
A popular hallucination is that one
cannot control bad temper. Nothing is
farther from the truth. One can keep
from stealing Or lying or murder He
can abstain from doing anything not
for the good Of society, giving way to i'll
temper included. 1t is crime; nothing
less. Society should take toward the one
who habitually INDUCES it the same atti-
tude as to the thief or habitual drunkard
that he is an enemy to community.
to give way to a 1it Of temper as it is to
get drunk, it will soon be seen that an
ger can be controlled. The Outlook,
commenting on Professor Drummond's
sermon, says:
Society has right to say to every member,
"You have no right to indulge in i'll temper;
you not only owe it to YOURSELF but to us,
to govern your temper" To treat onc's fell
lows with habitual consideration and courtesy
| is not to exhibit what is sometimes called an
| easy going good nature. It is on the contrary,
to disclose one of the highest qualities of char
| acter; for the spirit and attitude which make
this treatment of ones fellows possible is not
only temperamental, it is also spiritual Many
Of the most agreeable men arc those who if
they allowed their nature to have its own
| way, would be counted among the most try
| ing and difficult. There is excuse, there
fore, for that unsocial spirit which is SO con-
| stantly palliatcd because people charge it to
inheritance Or natural quality instead of re-
| garding it as the evidence of neglect of
| primary education.

She is also fitted with an electric light plant and the mems quarters will be. well lighted through. out during the tropical nights:
 The army authorities are going to thoroughly overhaul the vessel. Major Long and the Medical Board will go over her to-day and will see that the accommodations conform with the cu- bic air ordinance. Supervising Inspec- tor of Hulls and Boilers Birmingham and his assistants will go over the steamer and see that she conforms to all the requirements of law and a board of naval officers will see to it that she is fit to act as a United States troop ship. After inspecting the Cen tennial Major Long will visit the Colon and China at the Mail dock and the Zealandia at Pacific street wharf and they also will be passed upon by the different boards of officers.
 The Colon was to have been fitted out in a somewhat similar manner to the Peking and Sydney, but the work on her was stopped and she will now be fitted out like the Zealandia, with the Turner patent hunks. These all have iron frames and wire woven mat tresses. When not in use they can be fN1da6 m in ip1Vf fos nd f11rr ad into settees upon which the soldiers can sit or lounge at pleasure.
 'The Zealandia Is splendtdly fitted out for carrying troops" said Major Long yesterday. "The patent hunks with which she is fitted are the best things of the kind I have seen, and I have ordered the contractors to work night and day in order to get supply of them ready. The chances are that after the inspection to-day the Centen- nial will be fitted out with them and all the vessels that will be chartered by the Government in the future will have them put in. In order that noth- ing that will go toward making the sol- diers comfortable during their voyage should be overlooked, I asked for the appointment of the Medical Board to examine the sanitary conditions of all the troop ships before they leave port. My request was granted and now every vessel will have to be thoroughly equipped before che will be allowed to go to sea-
