Whence Gomez Electricity

At time when electricity is rapidly
transforming the face Of the globe,
when it has already in great measure
annihilated distance and bids fair to
abolish darkness for us. it is curious to
notice how completely ignorant 'the
plain man" remains as to the later de-
velopments of electrical theory. Some
recent correspondence has led me to
think that a vague notion that electric
ity is a fluid which in some mysterious
way flows through telegraph wire
like water through pipe is about as
far as he has got, and if we add to this
some knowledge Of what he calls "elec-
trio shocks" we should probably ex-
haust his ideas on the subject Yet
this is not to be wondered at Even
the most instructed physicists can do
nothing but guess as to what electric
ity is. and the only point on which
they agree is as to what 1t is not.
There IS. in fact. a perfect consensus
Of opinion among scientific writer's
that it is not fiuid-i. G.. continuous
stream of ponderahle matter, as is a
liquid or a gas-and that it is not a
form Of energy, as is heat Outside
this limit the scientific imagination is
at liberty to roam where it listeth, and
although 1t has used this liberty to a
considerable extent. no definite result
has followed up to the present time

CAN DOUBLE OUTPUT.
Prof. Shaw Says Farmers Can Make Cows
More Profitable.

Prof. Thomas Shaw has great
hopes that the farmers of Minnesota
can be brought to see that by little
effort they can double their dairy
output and make their COWS far
more profitable than they now are.
He says:
''Our people must give more at
tention to the breeding of their
COWS, and they must understand
better how to provide food for them
and they must understand that
great as is our position in dairying
at present, it is only little of what
we may achieve.
The. average product per COW is
not more than half>what it might be.
This means that the returns per COW
in butter are not more than half
what they could be made
The average yield is l25 pounds
in butter per year. Assuming that
the butter is worth 90 cents per
pound, this would give return in
butter Of s25 per year. Now, it has
been estimated that it costs nearly
that much on the average to feed
COW under our conditions. The
amount stated, that is, s25 per year,
would provide food for a COW for a
year, during say the past ten years.
Because the value of the butter
product during those years has
only about eGualed the cost Of the
food used in making the butter,
many even If the teachers of the
people have leaped to the conclusion
that the average COW of that State
has brought no profit to her owner.
| How do these men reconcile such a
conclusion with the undisputable
fact that where dairying has been
| introduced the farmers have pros
pered, and with the further fact
that this prosperity has increased
relatively with the relative increase
in dairying? Facts are stubborn
things.
There must, therefore, be some
thing about the logic that concludes
that such cows have only been
boarders on their owners, and never
paid their board. The defect lies
here-tbe value of the by-products
has been overlooked, which item, at
a judicious estimate, would make a
net profit of s6.25 per year from
each COW. This on the $50 900
COWS in the State would be net
profit in the aggregate of 81. .6S7, 900.
But suppose that during that
; time the average butter product OF
each COW had been 250 pounds per
, year, and this is possible of attain
ment. and suppose that the cost Of
the increase in food to produce this
product had been $40 more per
year, and this allowance is mos,
liberal, if not indeed extravagant
The cost of the food for the COW
would then be s35 per year. TIE

ErperIment. in cartrldre..


The Ordnance Department of the
army is now conducting some interest
ing experiments with reduced range
cartridges, for Stimulating, at short
range, the service target practice at
long ranges, and these new cartridges
are in the hands of troops at FIVE posts
undergoing trial. 1t has been found
in target practice that the range Of
the service rife is such as to render it
dangerous, and another condition
which has made the reduced range
cartridges desirable is the difficulty in
procuring suitable ranges adjacent to
some of the military posts. The fea-
lures of the new cartridge are said to
be a reduction of the powder charge in
proportion to the range, so that firing
at the closer range with a smaller
charge can produce the same accuracy
in craftsmanship as would be gained
by a greater charge n a greater
range.
The department has also decided to
replace the black powder now In the
hands of the troops with smokeless
powder for gallery practice with small
arms as soon as the stock of the former
now issued runs out.

The gray-haired veterans of the 58th
Massachusetts, Regiment Association
observed the anniversary of Washing
toms birthday by a reunion and dinner
at Boston.
Comrade Joseph B. Read of South
Hanson read a very interesting and
carefully prepared paper covering the
regiments experience during the
civil war. from the time that it left
Readville in 1864 until its return to the
same camp July 16, 1865, Is months
later.
The regiment, he stated, was re-
cruited by Col. S. T. Richmond, but he
could not be mustered in because the
regiment was not complete, so that it
left Readville under command of Maj.
Wilton, and it was never completed.
Camp was broken April %, and the
regiment started for Virginia, arriving
at Washington on the 30th, when it
went into camp outside of that city.
The regiment arrived at Bull Run
battlefield during a terrific thunder
storm. The 5Sth was assigned to the
I'd division. first brigade, under Gen.
Burnside, and was the last regiment
to cross the Rappahannock river when
the bridge was destroyed.

a perfectly truthful man, and he would
not misrepresent a matter of that kind
in the least, not eve to have his fame
spread over forty pages of history.
The story of the last battle, which
was fought on the 18th of May, 1865,
after the war was ended and peace de-
clared, has escaped the attention that
it merits, for it was an affair of no
little Importance.
Gen. Egbert Brown, who recently
died at West Plains, Mo-, was in COM
mand of the federal troops in southern
Texas, and he was doubtless well in
formed concerning the termination of
hostilities. Gen. ]. e. Slaughter. who
commanded the Confederate troops en-
camped at Brazos Santiago, had heard
rumors of the surrender of the armies
commanded by Lee, johnson and other
generals, but he had received no Off
cial notice of these facts from the war
department. Gen. Brown, under a
flag of truce, informed the Confeder-
ates of the state of affairs about Wash
ington and Richmond, at the same
time inviting them to come in and lay
down their arms as the war was GER
tainly yer
Gen. Slaughter refused to act in an
affair of such Importance until he was
better informed. Thereupon, Colonel
Barrett, at the head of a considerable
force, was dispatched to break up the
rebel amp A hot cattle ensued and,
c~uriously enough, ruost of the fighting
was done on the old field of Palo ALTO,
where Gen. Taylor achieved a victory
over the Mexicans nearly twenty years
before. The French soldiers encamped
on the southern shore of the Rio
Grande were in sympathy with the
southerners, and taey kept Gen.
Slaughter and Col. Rip Ford posted
as to the movements of the federal
troops. Several spirited encounters oc-
Cured and the loss sustained by some
of the negro regiments must have
been severe. While the battle ragged
the Confederates were frequently in
formed by some bold cavalryman in
