The Greatest Electricians,

A vote was recently taken by The
Electrical World and Engineer on the
% greatest names in electrical science
during the last century. The partic-
ipants in the ballot were 81 members
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers, who were requested to ar
range the names in the order of sup
posed excellence.
The following list. therefore. shows
not only the men who We're chosen. but
also their standing in the esteem of
the institute: Faraday. Kelvin, Edison
Bell, Morse. Henry. Tesla. Elihu Thorn.
son. Maxwell, Ampere. Siemens. Ohm
Hertz. Davy, Brush. Wheatstone
Helmholtz, Gramme. Stcinmetz. Ront
gen, Sprague, plante. Marconi. Ger
sted and Joule. However. two other
ballots were taken FOR comparison with
the one just mentioned.
The opinions Of 25 eminent members
of the institute were embodied in one
and those of % professors of electricity
in colleges In another. The former
group placed Maxwell second and Hen
ry fourth, showed an equal preference
for Bell and Edison for fifth and gave
Tesla the fifteenth. The college pro
fessors put Maxwell third and Edison
fourth. were equally divided between
Hertz. Henry and Elihu Thomson for
fifth. accorded Bell and Morse equal
honor and ranked Tesla fifteenth.

How to Cook Sausases.

Sausages are delicious when boiled
with rice until both are sufficiently
cooked, Whole grains of spice and of
b!acl; pepper should be put in during
the cooking. Another way of serving
sausages is to brown them in n pan.
then spread them with horse radish and
serve on squares of toast. Still an
other acceptable way of preparing sau-
sages is to wipe the sausages dry, dip
them in beaten egg and bread crumbs.
put them in the frying basket and
plunge into boiling fat. Cook ten min

On one occasion Sims Reeves, the
iamous tenor, was stranded at q coun-
try Junction waiting for a train. 1t
was cold and miserable, and the singer
was naturally not in the best Of tenn
pers. While chewing the cud of disap-
pointment an old railway porter vino
recognized him from the published por-
traits entered the waiting room.
Good evening, AIr. Sims Reeves" he
said.
Good evening, my man." replied the
vocalist, getting ready the necessary
tip. But the man sought for informa-
ton rather than tips.
"They tell me you earn heap Of
money" he remarked.
"Ch" murmured Mr.. Reeves.
"And yet" pursued the porter, you

what do you earn!" asked the
singer.

Sims Reeves opened his chest. DO,

Ing ringing top one. There, my
man; there's your years salary gone"
The amazed railway man gazed Won
deringly at the singer for full min

were "far too deep for words" he si-
lently resumed his prosaic occupation.

of the strong tin box belonging to VII

is n single certificate of stock Of the
Standard OH company which has not
been touched for years. The certificate
calls for l1,000 shares, which at the
present market figure represents face
value of more than $S,000000, The
head of one Of the large trust compa.

that the story was true. Twenty-Five

Not Strong Enough.

At one of the clubs the other day
two members were arguing about will
power.
The conceited man, who was in the
habit Of boring all present with bis
pointless tales, said that his will was
stronger than his friends.
You are wrong there" said the quiet
man, land l will prove it in this way:
You go and stand in that corner, and
l will will you to come out Of it. You
will against me. and bet you that 1
will have you from that corner before
1 have commanded you second time"
The smart one took the bet and put
himself in the corner. The quiet man
said in commanding voice:
"Come out of that cornerv'
The other grinned and shook his
head. The quiet man sat down and
looked ut him steadily. Five minutes
passed, and the man of will said, with
sneer: Hadn't you better give it up?
l don't feel any influence at all, and
can't stand here all the evening"
'There is no hurry" said the quiet
man, land l have very comfortable
seat. There is no time limit except

TAKE CARE OF THE FEET.
How to Preserve the Usefuiness of
the Pedal Extremitieu.

Following are some excellent rules
for the proper care of the feet:
The feet should be thoroughly wash
ed every morning and evening and
wiped carefully dry, especially be-
tween the toes, that hotbed of soft
corns.
The toe nails should be cut regularly,
but not too often. and never shorter
than ends OF the toes.
When buying shoes, allow perfect
freedom for the toes. Have the breadth
of the foot measured while you stand
on 1t and allow fully half an inch to
an inch more than the length of your
foot.
Have no tightness anywhere. What
slight pressure there is should be be-
meath the instep and on it's sides, which
parts are sometimes spoken of as the
waist" of the foot.
Have the sole thinnest and narrowest
at the waist" and broadest at the
tread"
Don't be ashamed of the size of your
foot a we'll formed large foot is much
better to look at than a small distorted
one. and remember that well proper
toned parts always look smaller than
they really are.
1t is cnly n mistaken standard of
beauty that represents hands and feet
as disproportionately small. The best
antique standards of beauty show the
perfect foot to be about one-sixth of
the whole height.
To obtain health and comfort for the
foot it is by no means necessary to
wear ugly boots or shoes. The boot
makers are now making footgear that
combines admirably both beauty and
comfort. while people are gradually
beginning TO understand that the foot
itself is more worth caring for than is
its covering.
High heels placed far under the in
step are now rarely seen in the street.
though still worn in the house. They
are extremely injurious. as they throw
the body forward in an unnatural po-
sltion. which affects the spine, the
knees and the nervous system.
Chiropodists all say that IL men and
women gave up wearing Ill fitting
boots and shoes the next generation
would know nothing of deformed and
diseased feet.

Amherst, Mass. The young man tele-
graphed yesterday from a point in South
Carolina, and it is understood the doctor
or some trusty representative will go
south shortly to bring him home.
Francis Rose went to Amherst to enter
college, but disappeared shortly after
reaching there. leaving most of his per-
sonal effects behind. His father en-
ployed detectives to search for him, but
little or no headway was made and it was
thought the boy had turned sailor, as
he had always had a prediction for the
sea. He is a grandson of the late Bishop
Whipple and is under twenty years of
age.
The family has no particulars from him

attribute his erratic course to i'll health.
If he is found to be able to travel he will
be brought to Faribault.

SUMNER TOO SHORT
Objection to Smelling as One of the
Posts for ManeuVers.

Posts for ManeuVers.
From The journal Bureau. Room 40, Pos
Building. WasHt'tpto't
Washington Oct 31-There is an erro-
neous impression in Minnesota that the
arguments against the selection of Fort
Smelling as one Of the four posts where
general maneuvers will be executed each
year are based in any degreeeAon the al
legged unhealthfulness of the northwest.
Such is not the case. 1t is a matter of
record in the war department that Smell
ling is one of the most healthful posts in
the country. The chief argument against
its selection for the purpose named is the
shortness of the Minnesota summer sea-
son. The army maneuvers must of neces-
sity take place out of doors, and the de-
partment thinks that points should be
chosen which will permit of the largest
amount of work At Fort Riley, Kan, for
instance. the outdoor work could begin
in March and continue until December;
while at Smelling it could not, in the aver
age year. begin earlier than May and
would be over by the 1st of November.
However. the question is still open and
will not be definitely settled for several
months. The department also finds fault
with Fort Smelling because the military
reservation there is small, and it is
pointed out by the army engineers that
it cannot be increased save by enormous
expense as the adjacent land is within
the city of Minneapolis, or so near the
CITY as to be almost beyond any price
which the government would be willing to
pay.
