IMPORTANT
ct. Louis Man Claims He Can Recover
Lost Electricity.

George +. Durant, the st. Louis man
ager, and a corps of Bell Telephone
company employees have made a most
important discovery concerning the cleo
trlclty which escapes into the earth from
wires. Mr.. Durant said recently:
From experiments we have made
and are making we are certain that the
current from the street car ground wires
remains IN the earth and travels under
ground and that this force can be used
again. We have been experimenting
with lamps. We find that a single wire,
with the simplest kind Of a connection.
will suffice to produce light from this
earth current. If the wasted current is,
say, 20 volts at one point and 6 volts
at another, a lamp at the latter point
connected by wire with the former will
BE supplied with a current equal to the
difference between the currents at the
two points.
In the instance cited there would be
sufficient current to supply ii volts to
the lamp. l can see no reason why the
current could not lie carried through
motors and dynamos in the same way.
II the actual current as it comes from
the earth We're not sufficient, it could
first be gathered into storage batteries
and thus intensified. The current can be
handled exactly as if it We're generated
by a dynamo. New York Sun.

Better Go Slowly.

The effect of the tremendous advertis-
ing Hawaii has received as result OF
the war and annexation is now being
felt. People from all over the United
States are pouring in there. They
come by every steamer and
every sailing vessel. Many
young lawyers, doctors, dentists,
and other professional men have
already come, besides commercial
travellers and men looking for employ
ment and vestment in all directions.
A number are already practically
stranded, and captains and agents of
every sailing vessel and steamer leav-
ing are besieged with applicants
for free passage to the states.
One thing which is not generally
known in the states is that license is
required here to engage in almost any
kind of business CONNIE cial travel
ers are required to pay license of
$500 before they sell single
bill of goods. The policy of the laws
for years has been to dis
criminate in favor CT men and firms
having fixed place of business here,
but even these have to pay q very
handsome annual license. Ifimmigra-
tion keeps up in the way it
has recently, there will be
great deal of actual suffering

out sufficient capital to enable them
either to enter in such lines of business
as are open or to get back.-Exchange.

will be broken off, and the reforms or

will be rescinded. The ol6 regime
will be maintained, and the closest re-

That is the news and that the outlook.
Ii Is a coup d'etst of Unreasonable i'm
port to both the domestic tranquility
and prosperity and the foreign rela-
tious and independent sovereignty of
the empire.
We have recently explained and dis
cussed the reformatory edicts of the

another Gordon will arise to
quell it. Should it endanger

would unhesitatingly respond. What
that would mean recorded history

They came and conquered. aud since

Passing by the rejection of the Jap

best possible alliance China could
make, the coup d'etat is to be regard

was the sequence of occurrences: A
British bank made a contract to loan
money to the New-Chwang railroad.
Russia objected, and prevailed upon Lii
