ETHER WAVES
A Remarkable Medium that Fills All
Matter and All Space

The phenomena of wireless telegra-
ply are most marvellous from the pure
ly scientific side They show us that
this remarkable medium. the ether.
which encompasses us about on every
side, penetrating the densest as well
as the rarest forms of matter and till
ing the whole of celestial space, Is In
state of endless disturbance, crossed
and recrossed by waves In infinite va
riety. In his address on the "Six Gate
ways of knowledge" Lord Kelvin has
called attention to "the vast gap be-
tween 400 vibrations per second, the
sound of rather high tenor voice.
and 400,OO0,000. 900 per second, the
number of vibrations corresponding to
duh red light, and therefore the lowest
rate In the spectrum" But, now that
Hertz has given us ether waves mill

Lodge has suggested an electrical the

But why may not these Hertzian
waves have been already utilized by
our organism? We are told that the
day that General Gordon was killed at
Khartoum the people in the streets and
bazaars of Cairo knew of 1t, though
the distance in a direct line is 1000
miles and no telegraph connects these
cities. And British officer in AT
ghanistan narrates that information OF
the intended movement of troops dur
ing the war at distances of fifty or 1Ot
miles away was known TO the natives

Ruiz Leaped the Barrier.

Paris, Oct. s.-The first attempt to
hold a bull fight here proved fiasco. An
immense crowd gathered about the ring
at Douil. The first bull brought into the
ring was splendid black animal, which
leaned the barrier and created terrible
panic among the spectators, injuring a
dozen people, some of them seriously. The
bull then escaped into the country, where
he was pursued by matadores and plea
dores and was finally dispatched. One
gendarme was tossed and gored. The po-
lice stopped further proceedings and the
ring was occupied by troops until the
crowd. dispersed.

Notes and Personals.

Some time ago J. A. Osborne, of the
Rainy Lake Herald. came into the pos
session of an old diary of an cid en-
ploye's, now deceased, of the Hudson
Bay company, and in reading II throu'
he learned that the writer described
very lucidly some mineral deposits on
the eastern shore of Hudson's bay, in
the vincinity of Great and Little Whale
rivers, in what is known as Ungava
land. The description was so clear
that Mr.. Osborne succeeded in inducing
seine Boston capitalists to provide the
necessary funds to equip an expedition
to go and make search for the miner
ais. The parties left Rat Portage
about the first of June and MIR. Osborne
returned Saturday from the trip, first
going to Ottawa, where he and his asso-
ciates filed on a large tract of valuable
lands containing gold, silver, copper,
precious stones. nickel, iron, cinnabar,
gypsum, in fact almost all kinds of min
eral of economic value Mr.. Osborne
says that the new region opened up, so
far as mineral wealth is concerned, puts
the Klondike in the shade, and he says
that Mr.. Lowe of the geological survey
who has put in two years investigating
that country, says 1t is the coming min
eral producing region of the American
continent. There is plenty of room fol
prospecting, as the region is 400 by SOC
miles in extent. The country can be
reached by water from Boston, and Mr.
Osborne says that next spring a com
pany will outfit steamer and will sent
her right up to their property will
100000 worth of supplies and mater
ials for exploring and developing thei
claims. The experience of Mr.. Os
borne only goes to verify the claims
that the whole of Canada, from tn
wilds of Labrador to the Pacific coast
is one of natures greatest storehouse
OF minerals of economic and preciou
value. If this region were opened u
by railway, there would certainly b
rich field for all kinds of mining ell
terprises. Besides anthricite Goa
there will be found Ignite, beds of Cyl
sum along the Missanbi; deposits G

All About Gluten Feeds.

Most farm raised coarse feeds are COM
parauvely rich in starchy matter, but low
in protein. They are also generally more
indigestible than mill by-products, says
the American Agriculturist. Nearly all
concentrated feeds are very digestible and
a large number are very rich in protein
and low to medium in starch and sugar.
Concentrated feeds are fed with farm rails
ed coarse feeds 20 increase the digestbie
matter and amount of protein in the ra-
ton.
Among the concentrated feeds none is
more interesting than gluten, a by-product
of corn glucose factories. Gluten is sold
under various brands as Chicago, Cream,
King. Hammond, Buffalo, Atlas, Oswego,
Joliet and a score of others. These various
gluten meals gluten feeds, germ feed.
etc, are a corn by-product, mostly that
part of the grain left resulting from the
manufacture of starch and glucose. Dry
corn is composed of starch 70 per cent.
crude protein liz and crude ash fiber and
fat 9ik Most of the starch is removed i'm
che manufacture and the part left is cor
respondingly rich because of the high per
cent. of protein. While gluten feeds con
tain 20 TO 40 per cent. protein, whole or
ground corn, wheat or oats contain only
10 to ID per cent Thus a bushel of gluten
and of whole grain has a very different
feeding value, because of the coneentra-
ton of a large quantity of protein into
little bulk.
Where gluten feeds are not dried. but
contain a large per cent. of water they
may he fed to stock located near the mills
and feeders can afford TO pay for them 81
per ton delivered on the farm. If the wet
feed were dried, it would be worth fully
as much as regular chop feed; but its
moist condition also causes 1t to spoil
rapidly. In changing to a ration includ-
ing rich, concentrated feed, use ,it SPAR
ingly at first in connection with other
feeds say a pint per day and gradually
increase 10 or quarts per day.
In the process, corn is first soaked In
dilute, warm, sulphurous acid water and
then ground by being passed with water
through mills to carry off the substance in
suspension. The germs are removed, dried

Africa may be greatly extended. While all
this Is still matter of the future, the
establishment of this agricultural school
is significant and worthy of careful
thought. 1t behoOves all interested in our
great Southern staple to take advantage
Of every means to maintain our present
supremacy in supplying the words mar
kets with raw cotton. Existing low prices
are favorable to this, but any material
advance would serve to eventually stimu-
late in no mean degree cotton growing in
Egypt, India, Southern Russia and South
Africa.
In 90 Egyptian cotton to the value of
coo sterling was imported into Eng
land; in '96 this was increased to Sax mil
lions. With the introduction of Egyptian
seed into India it is thought there may
be a considerable increase in growth and
consumption of Indian cotton. For many
years small parcels of foreign cotton
chiefly Egyptian, have been imported into
the United States and recently this move
ment has become so prominent that ad-
vocates Of protection are seriously con-
sidering the imposition of a stiff tariff on
all foreign sorts. Imports of raw cotton
have increased from 100000 pounds ten
years ago TO 50 100000 in '9S, worth over
s.. 0000 COO. Mail reports from India say
that the moderate rainfall of the season.
has much benefited cotton, with the crop
in certain important divisions in good
conditions: elsewhere excessive rains nave
caused some damage. Owing to the de-
structiOn of plants in places from eXees-
sive rains, the area under cotton is
estimated at about 20 per cent. less han
the normal.
From Sept. to Dec. 2, inclusive, total
of 5,752000 bales of cotton were brought
into sight from The new crop. This is
10000 baies more than corresponding per

The stringfeIIOw Theory and system
of Root PRUNING Fruit Trees.


Fruit Grower" asks to be informed Of
the sringfeilow system of root pruning,
of which he has seen frequent reference
in the horticultural journals in the past
few years.
If Fruit Grower will send a postal to
the Georgia experiment station, asking
Tor It he can get Bulletin No. 40, recent
" issued which gives details of tests
made at the station to determine the facts
in regard to the Strngfellow method Of
pruning We can only answer briefly here
as to the method This consists in cut
ting away all the roots. of a / or 2-year-
old tree close up 10 the stem, leaving only
one to four inches Of roots, in most cases
amounting to no roots at all; then after
cutting away the top, leaving twelve to
twenty-four inches of stem TO set out the
tree thus prepared in a mere dibbe hoe
made by a dibbie two or three inches in
diameter Mr.. S. has made a success of
establishing orchards in this manner and
his system is strongly indorsed by J. II.
Hale, the great fruit grower of Fort Val
ley, Ga, and also by Prof. Brunk of the
Maryland experiment station. The re-
suits at the Georgia experiment station, as
far as they have been carried, also sus-
tain the StringfellOw system. Fruit
Grower should send for the bulletin men
toned and study it, and if he sets out
any trees this season should try the sys-
fem for himself 1t Is wen worth a trial
by every fruit grower.
