MAY EXPLAIN GRAvITATIoN.
In the next hundred years will gravitation be
considered apart from the other agencies which
make life possible this globe? Already we
have hypothesis in regard to a connection be-
tween electricity and gravitation. A plausible
one seeks to connect electric inertia with gravi-
rational inertia In starting or stopping cleo
trlc current we encounter what we call electric
inertia. On account of this inertia the current
does not rise at once to its full value and also
does not stop instantly. This electric inertia
seems to certain thinkers to be the analogue of
the inertia of matter. If the atoms carry cleo
trtcal charges they will manifest this electrical
inertia when these charges are disturbed. To-
gether with this manifestation Of inertia there is
supposed TO be a change In the density of the
ether which might possibly account for the at
traction of gravitation
This is indeed far reaching hypothesis, and
to put it upon reasonable basis will require
all the resources of modern science. If the
inertia of the atom is the it's electrical
inductance or electrical inertia. then gravitation
ceases to be the most mysterious force in the
world Yields
then becomes truly the prop of the universe.
The theories now merely substitute one mystery
for another We predict with certainty
however that the investigators in the century
now opening will be occupied with this great
problem of the unification of all of natures

is the new departure in physical chemistry which
is based upon electrical phenomena The cleo
trician finds thet the atom of the chemist is not
the ultimate and smallest particle in the uni
verse. There is an electrical atom, the mass of
which is only one-thousandth of the hydrogen
atom; ana electrical attraction or repulsion is
accounted for by the relation of this negative
atom to the aggregation of chemical atoms An
electrical current is supposed to be a rapid in

Chemical actions are due TO motions and cleo

In view of these many and far reaching mani

only fragment of the past and sub

very radical changes for some time to come. The
oft-repeated prophecy that the power transmission
line of the future will be underground, rendered
perfect by some strange and occult method of in

anything but dream. On the other hand. there
likely be enormous advances in power trans

the map. II must be remembered that most trans

these distributed that it does not take any

CA. Dodge, af Orange City, Ia,
left for his home Saturday, after
purchasingssome $50,O00sworth Of
North Dakota real estate. MI
Dodge is a man of discretion and
discernment, and knows that in
laud in this county, many fortunes
are yet to be made, and Mr. Dodge
believes, and rightly, too. that he
will reap rich harvests from the
soil he has acquired title to. So
firm is Mr.. Dodge's conviction
that he is right, that he will give
up a neat real estate business in
the city mentioned, to engage in
farming and stock raising in this
county. He will live in this city
and, as stated last week in this
paper, will erect $1,000 residence
in the Orr Addition to the city,
which property is included in the
long list Of purchases made by
this gentleman. What Devils
Lake needs is some more men of
Mr. Dodge's calibre, who not only
have faith in the country, but back
that faith up by money purchases.
Mr.. Dodge is a comparatively
young man and will do much good
towards rapidly advancing city and
county interests here. His house
will be erected as soon as spring
opens, and he will then remove
here with his family.

H"ANSBROUGH'S VIEWS ON
PENDING LEGISLATION.

HANSBROUGH'S VIEWS ON
PENDING LEGISLATION.
Senator Hansbrough gives an
interview to the Washington Star,
in which he defines his position on
current topics before congress,
and says, among other things:
II am very much in favor of a
measure which will protect the
buyersof butter from the imposition
of the imitation article, and accord
to our farmers a corresponding
protection to their product. I am
not opposed to the manufacture of
oleomargarine or butterine assuch,
but I am decidedly opposed to it's
sale as butter, or in any manner
by which the public may be de-
ceived into believing that they are
obtaining the genuine article.
"Thefraud lies in this deception.
It is sold as pure butter, and the
public are not in the position to
investigate their purchase. Thus
the spurious article enters into
competition on equal terms with
the pure product, and the farmers
and the consumers alike suffer.
