London Scientist Discovers Secret

Prof. Fleming, the famous electri-

he engaged IN important ex-
periments in connection with a novel
form for the transmission of cleo
trical energy. There is reason to be-
lieve that the professor has discov-
cred the means by which such power
is distributed without wires-i. e., by
utilizing the ether as Marconi does
for ordinary signaling. Marconi, by
the way, is somewhat upset by the
discovery that other eAperimenters
are using an apparatus practically the
same as his, which he thought was
known only to himself, notably his
coherer, which consists of nickel fill
ings mixed with a little silver in a
Dranley tube and of nickel rods at
each end of the tube.

PRAISE FOR IOWA.
A Kentucky Paper Says That the
Hawkeye State Has n Record
Not to be Surpassed.

Kentucky doffs her hat to Iowa. The
Louisville Courier-Journal hurls this
bouquet at the Hawkeye state:
The state of Iowa has long been famous
for its agricultural wealth, but this year
has made a new record in the prosperity
Of farmers. The average yield of corn for
the decade has been 1922 bushels per acre,
but this year the crop measured out 40.3
bushels. The yield of wheat has been only
surpassed twice during the last ten years,
and was 14.3 bushels per acre. Crops of
other kinds have been abundant, there be-
ing a falling off only in broom corn and
sorghum, and this being more than made
up by the gain in sweet potatoes. The
yield of corn was 345, 055. 040 bushels, and
at "a cents a bushel foots up a grand total
of 500, 1854, $50, being the biggest item of all.
The aggregate value of all farm prod
ucts of the state is put at 1928, sos ,058. This
Is not far behind the years production of
gold and shows that the Iowa corn, fields
are a greater source of revenue thar all
the gold mines. of North America, besides
affording a much more satisfactory way
of living. Iowa Is one of the banner states
In the union, but though so exclusively
agricultural it appears to nave no hos
tility to railroads. Its mileage is a third
larger thar Kentucky's, is steadily grow
ing, and is lightly taxed, thus affording
transportation facilities and a ready mar
ket to all the products of its farms.

PREDICTS WOMAN. PRESIDENT.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman catt Says Her
Sex Ii Making Rapid
Progress.

If women make as much progress
in the twentieth century as they did
in the nineteenth century, America
is likely to have a woman for presi-
dent before 1000 A. d., says Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage association.
She said so in the first of the three
addresses she gave at the remnant
sale which the suffragists held in
St. Georges hall, Philadelphia.
Mrs. Gait was asked whether any
now living was fitted to be
president. She replied: "No; her po-
litical life is only beginning, and years
of experience in the that the
next century will open are needed to
equip her for service in the white
house."
