handled 10000 bricks. 80 barrels OF ce-
ment and 100 barrels of sand daily.
From these qualities il is evident that
this original application OF electricity
Is an important factor In the economical
construction OF this work. Besides
lighting and ventilating the sewer, cleo
tricity Is employed TO pump out tho
cofferdam. A special scow is used
for this purpose. II Is fitted with mo-
tor. rheostat and centrifugal pump
and takes tho necessary current from
the trolley wires. The whole plant has
been devised out OF secondhand ma
chimes, and Is very inexpensive. but
capable. nevertheless, OF saving many
dollars.

POPULAR SCIENCE.
POWERFUL MAGNETS.
That L. what Prof. Bis~asw Calls an.
sun snd Earth.

That L. What Prof utwelow Calls the
sum and Earth.
Forty years ago scientists discussed
and discarded the theory that the sun
and earth were powerful magnets.
Prof. Frank II. Bigelow. one OF the
chief meteorologists at the national
weather bureau, thinks they were too
hasty In discrediting the idea. He be-
lieves the sun and earth to be two
spherical magnets, as suggested; that
rays issuing from n permanent mag
netic state In the suns interior reach
out and combine with the earth's mag
netism; that an outer shell Of the earth
Is permeated by these rays; that the
suns action causes the magnetic
changes shown in variations OF the
magnetic needle. Prof. Bigelow's re-
searches along this line have been in
progress for several years, and are
still being carried on In the weather
bureau building. All OF the important
magnetic observations have furnished
data from which his conclusions have
been drawn. Needles at a given mo-
ment are pointing in certain directions
at the several stations. They all sud
denly tilt upward. This is due 10
strengthening the external magnetic
field surrounding the earth. Following
out his theory, he explains why years
in which auroras are most frequently
seen correspond with those in which
the greatestnumber OF sun spots are oh
served, as we'll as with the years when
the greatest number OF disturbances
have been detected In the magnetic
field OF the earth. As one proof OF his
theory Prof. Bigelow uses the fact that
the material forming the corona of the
sun (seen during total ecllpses) is di-
yided into rays corresponding TO the
magnetic lines surrounding the poles
of horseshoe magnet when placed be-
meath paper upon which iron filings
are spread.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

SCIENCE IN FARMING.
Supplying the Soil with Electricity
IL n Profitable Process.

-
A modification Of the French inven-
ton called the geomagDetifere has
been tested with great success az the
government experimental station at
Amherst. The various systems OF sup
plying the soil with currents OF cleo
tricity have been expensive and un-
sa tisfactory until the present method
was adopted. A pole 90 or so feet high
Is surmounted by cheyauN de frise OF
copper spikes insulated by a porcelain
knob from the pole. The atmospheric
electricity is collected night and day
and conducted by n copper wire TO a
network OF wires laid at a depth OF
five or six feet under the soil. One
such pole supplies sufficient electricity
TO stimulate several acres of vegetables
There Is no expense OF generating cleo
tricity by machinery and better work
in electroculture Is done than by the
ordinary expensive methods. Entire
crops in forcing plats OF ground have
been increased 80 per cent. II Is, how
ever, with sugar beets that the most
satisfactory results have been observed.
II was accidentally discovered that an
increase OF one and two per cent OF
sugar was being obtained Expert
ments In distances OF wires and lights
were made until the correct distance
was obtained. A large amount Of nitro
gen was added 20 the soil. The beets
take IL up so rapidly that no nitrogen
remained az the end OF the season. hut
Il had been converted into sugar and
the results were very profitable. SO
far an increase In sugar varying from
20 10 30 per cent. has been obtained and
il IL expected that this will rise to so
per cenf.-Chirnpn Inter Ocean.
