WHERE ENGLAND is BACKWARD
Her Lack Of Electrical Progress
Charged to Obsolete Patent InWs.

In the twentieth century we find that
our competitors are ahead OF us IN the
utilization and application OF electricity.
1t is not to England that the foreigner
comes for dynamos or electric tools or
electric lifts or electric railway and tram
way fittings. Our telephone system has
long been a byword; Switzerland and
Sweden are infinitely better off III tHTs
direction than our lethargic selves; as a
motive power on our. railways and tram
ways this new force has been as yet only
occasionally employed. and the two or
three electric railways OF London are still!
source OF wonder to the inhabitants OF
our islands. All this is greatly changed
from the day when we led the world
And whereas in the past we built the for
eigners' steam railways, to-day the
American is building or proposing to build
our electric lines
It would be interesting TO investigate
the c0uses OF our baclSwardness. No
doubt our chaotic patent laws have much
to do with our present situation In Ger
many and the United States only genuine
inventions can be patented; here anyone
can patent anything, whether or not it De
a, genuine invention, and subsequent in
terminable litigation may be necessary to
determine the validity OF the patent
The Government by monopolizing teie-
graphs and telephones has been another
obstructive factor, while legislation of an
tiquated and conservative type has hin
dered the inventor at every turn Nor
have we been quick to recognize the i'm
portnnce of thorough technical education
in electrical science and its applications
Here England is much behind SWttZar
land. Germany and the United States.

A FEMALE INDIAN MOSES.
The I,cdskins Of tho Southwest Have
One and Troubles Brewing.

A female Moses has arisen among the
redskins of. the southwest, and viii prob
ably soon be leading them to IL land OF
promise.
she is Mary Big Buffalo, daughter OF
Black Coyote, athe famous Ponca chief,
whose deeds of valor in the Indian wars
were known to all the soldiers on the
frontier.
Mary is only a girl, not yet twenty years
Old but she possesses a subtle influence
over the wild Indians. They surround her
nightly on the plains of the Indian reser-
vations in Oklahoma to listen to her eX-
hortations.
She is worshipped by her devotees. They
call her their saviour, and rightly named
she is if she does whit she promises for
thenl-that is. she will save their minds
from an awful dream that they are the
worst abused class Of people on earth when
she sets them up in new country under
laws made by her and under her rule.
AInry Big Buffalo has been attending
school in the east for the most part of her
life until she returned to the Ponca reser-
walton during last summer for a visit to
her people. She had learned the ways of
the white people. but in her heart she had
no love for them. She only learned what
they taught to help herself cope with
them when the time should arrive.
She had always been dreamer-the In
dams call it being imbued with spirit
power. She was born under a lucky star.
so the Indians say. and they declare that
she was always destined TO be leader
among her people. Her father says he
knew this when she was five years old.
SO he was sad while she was away from
him.
She has work to do among her own
people. he would tell the Indian agent.
but the white man said she must remain in
school until her education was complete
Early last summer the authorities gave
her permission to come hnck to The Ponca
reservation to spend her vacation and visit
her people.
AS soon as she came home her father

THE CAREER OF AN ISLAND.
How it Develops From Chance oD'
struction in the Water.

Islands are formed in several ways, and
if large are generally looked upon as fair

face: but occasionally they disappear,
and we are surprised at the history their
destruction reveals. One such island, upon
which / PLAYED when Il boy, had no ap-
pearance of being otherwise than a part
of the mainland around which the water
had worked its way; but the truth was
revealed when the soil was removed and
the core of the island proved to be
stranded tree. 1t was clear that a very
long time ago some great frcshet had
uprooted and carried down stream a
large tree. and that it had lodged at
some shallow spot. No sooner was 1T an
obstruction to the free flowing OF the
water than it began catching drifting
material, and this securely lodged was an
additional check to the progress OF any
thing floating. Such barrier soon begins
to collect sand about it, and the growth
of an island is then begun. In the sand
lodge seeds of water-plants, and these
rank growths, if submerged species,
check the current and cause floating par
ticles to sink; and later. taller plants, like
wild rice. Spatter-dock and arrowhead
take root and flourish. Then by various
modes. the soil is accumulated, or, as
