Roosevelt Takes a Horseback Ride
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 21.~-President Roose-
welt this afternoon went out for horse
back ride with General Leonard Wood,
Governor General of Cuba. The Presi-
dent rode spirited bay and General
Wood black. The President presented
handsome figure on his spirited animal.
The last President who rode horseback
to any considerable extent since the days
of Grant, was Arthur. Neither Mr..
Cleveland, nor General Harrison while in
the White House ever got on a horse.
President Mckinley in the early days of
his past administration, occasionally took
a horse, back ride.

It will be noted that there is a de-
crease of exactly 40 in the number of
negro polls.
From the increase in the number OF
acres of land, from AS, 103 acres last yea
to 513, $50 this year, one would Judge
that the cunty had grown 3S,457 acres
larger in the past year. This is not true.

Photography In the stomach.

From the Practical Druggist.
Doctors have succeeded in taking photo
graphs of the mucous membrane OF the
stomach in the living subject. A stoma ch
tube, sixty-six centmeters long. with a
diameter of eleven millmeters, is intro
duced, having at the lower end an electric
lamp and at the upper end a camera. The
stomach is first emptied and washed, and
then distended with air. Then fifty pic
lures can be taken in rapid succession in
from ten to fifteen minutes. BY turning
the apparatus on its own axis all parts of
the mucous membrane can be pictured.
The photographs are about the size of q
cherry stone, but, of course, they can be
enlarged to any extent.

APPLIED ELECTRICITY.
How 1t Has Been Brought 70 the Aid
of Nan.


OF Nan.
From the Chicago Western Electrician.
Electrical progress in the nineteenth CEN
tury may be summed up in one short SEN
tence: Electricity has been put to work.
When the century began philosophers We're
wondering what electricity was. Today the
exact nature of electricity is still unknown,
but the nineteenth century has shown some
of the things that electricity can do. The
apparatus at that time consisted of expert
mental devices used solely by scholars and
scientific teachers. The apparatus Of the
twentieth century exists III many applica-
tons that make the life Of the common peo
pie better worth living. We have only to
consider the electric telegraph, the tele
phone. the electric light. the electric rail-
way, electroplating and clectrotyping, cleo
trometallurgy. the electrical transmission
of power, and even the humble push but
ton, 10 realize that among civilized men
there are few who do not receive the bene-
fits of applied electricity in the transport of
themselves, their messages or their goods
in the form of light upon their pathway, or
in other ways that make for betterment
in industrial processes or in the reiinements
of life.
The electrical scientist has not been su-
perseded: the value of his services is real
lied now as never before, but the electrical
engineer who follows the scientist and ap-
plies the results OF the arduous labors OF
the savants to the Improvement of existing
conditions, has become a mighty factor in
the advancement of the world. The electri-
cal engineer is entirely a product of the
latter half of the nineteenth century.
No one can foretell what the electrical
development of the twentieth century will
be- Mr.. dAlbe well says that the eigh-
teenth century may be called one Of cleo
tric charges the nineteenth one of electric
currents and the twentieth, perhaps, a CEN
tury of electric waves. Beyond this few
tna ton tn 90 hat fharp fS
much to be done In improving electrical
methods and apparatus is certain.
