Berlin. Sept 27.-A high speed trial
nver the Zossen experimental electric
railroad yesterday resulted in attaining
a speed Of 1T miles per hour. Every
mart of the 100-ton car was intact. and
The roadbed was not affected.
The fact that the machinery and the
roadped were not impaired gives every
hope of attaining speed at the rate OF
l25 miles per hour.

OF the farmers who are putting in fall
grain are drilling it in corn ground.
| They propose to leave the cornstalks on

| The settlers have learned that the corn

| the fall and winter than that which has
been in small grain because OF the
| deeper tillage incident upon the use
| of listers and subsoil plows. Some

tation of getting growth of the sor-
plum sufficient to hold the snow and

Williston High School Steam
Heating Plant.

The steam heating plant just installed
in the Williston high school building by
Anton Jevnager, was, thoroughly tested
in presence Of q majority Of the board Of
education last Saturday, and again on
Monday afternoon. A very light fire
was started in the furnace, and inside of
twenty minutes steam was entering
every radiator in the building, and the
entire system was found to work in 4
most admirable manner.
The type Of boiler is the Modern Sec
tional Steam Boiler, manufactured by
Kellogg, Mackay Cameron Co., of Chi
cage, and has capacity of 5000 square
feet of radiation, in which either hard
or soft coal may be used, but in this in.
stance the CRATES were selected especial.
ly adapted to the use Of our Ignite coal.
The material used in firing for the
test above referred to was the. slack left
over from the Ignite used in heating
the building two years ago, and which,
for use in stoves would have been abso-
lutely worthless, but in this furnace the
slack burnt with as good effect as fresh
coal. s#~ ..s.
/ There are 467 loops in all the rooms
and halls, which are supplied with
steam from about one thousand feet of
piping, the boiler and pipes all being
protected and made safe by heavy
coating Of asbestos covering and mortar
of the same material.
We do not believe there is a high
school building in the state, of the d.
mensions OF the WilIiston building. that
is supplied with better steam heating
plant than the one we have now in.

More Moisture and Chilly
Weather Than Has Been Re-
corded in Many Years.
(From St. Paul Globe, Sept. H.

\TIOM CCs dul NAODc, OCpG' L.
The summer which now appears to
have been concluded was unusual in
some respects. according to the statistics
Of the weather bureau. The tempera-
ture has ranged low and the records of
succeeding months in opposite ways.
With autumn beginning with the chilly
weather of the past few days, old resi-
dents are wondering what has become
Of the summer heat which has 80 long
been the regular and unavoidable thing.
The temperature has been remarkable in
that the highest record made dnring
the summer was only 80 degrees, which
was attained on. July 7. Though July
was the warmest month of the summer,
the temperature at one time fell as low
as So. May and June were chilly and
damp. The highest temperature regis
tered in May Was on the 10Th, when the
thermometer stood at 81, while the high.
est temperature reached during June
WAS IS.
Records for rainfall were nearly brok-
en- in May, while in June there was
noticeable drought. The precipitation
record Of May WAS 5.2S inches, which
was the highest of any recorded during
the past thirty-two wears with the ex.
ception of 1872, 1877 and 1879 June.
however, broke the record in the oppo-
site direction, for during the month
only ]. l6 inches Of rain fell. Only one
other June during the period covered
by the wearher bureaus records-that
of 1S79-has there been anywhere near
such light precipitation.
The rainfall during July was above
the average. being SCI, and was exceed
ed by only four Julys during the past
thirtv.two years. August viii also 20 on
record az being a particularly rainy
month, the total precipitation being 4.y
inches. which was exceeded bv only
three corresponding months, those OF
1875, 1875 and 1902.
The climax will be reached~this
month, September, which SO far has re-
corded over six inches Of rainfall five
of which fell in the downpour of Friday
afternoon and Saturday morning. II
but an average precipitation comes IN
the remaining half of the month the rec
ord of thirty-two years will be broken.
While there was an exceptionally
large number of rainy days during the
summer, the total number OF cloudy and
partly cloudy days was nearly twice as
large as that on which precipitation was
registered. Though there we're, accord
ing to the records, forty-eight days dur
ing the summer which We're perfectly
clear. there were bit four days which
were hot and clear. During the sum
mer there were forty two partly cloudy
days and thirty three cloudy days. while
rain fell on forty one days.
