ELECTRICITYON FARM
Outlook for General Use Not Very
Encouraging.
Suitable Machines for the Work Not
Yet Invented - Distribution of
Power Another Diff
Guilty.

The possibility of vast and as yet
almost wholly undeveloped field for
electricity is suggested by the Electric
Review in an editorial on electric power
for farm work. That there is not much
in the present outlook to encourage
hope for the general use of electricity
for cultivating does not preclude it's ul-
innate successful application to that
class of work, and the accomplishment
of that end would mean field for de-
velopment compared to which all other
avenues of growth would be dwarfed,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel
I The Review points out the reasons for
the failure to adopt this convenient and
flexible power, except in rare instan-
ces on very large farms, and they may
be very briefly stated. The first and
chief reason is that electrically driven
machinery suitable to farm work has
not yet been invented. The motor We
hicle is cumbersome and expensive and
not adapted to work on rough ground,
and as yet no power machine has been
contrived which is adapted both to sta
tionary work-about the house and
barns-and to field work.
Such of the machinery of the day as
might be conveniently used in the busy
season on the farm would lie idle during
large part of the year and the invest
ment required would be beyond the
means of the average farmer. At pres
ent another dificulty-even if suitable
machinery could be obtained-lies in
the distance of power stations from the
great majority of farms. The latter are
usually located in villages and are not
in position or equipped to distribute
power in small quantities over a large
area.
In the development of the so called
"trackless trolley" the Review sees q
possible means of encouraging the use
of electricity on farms. The tracklesS
trolley is an electrically equipped We
hicle which takes it's power from two
overhead circuits and will run along or
binary roads. 1t is suggested that were
all turnpikes equipped with these troll
ley wires properly equipped vehicles
might be used to do large part of or
binary farm work much more easily
and at less cost than it is now done.
The difficulties to be overcome makes
the electrically worked farm appear a
utopian dream, and yet it is by no
means an impossibility. A light, pow
erful, portable, cheap motor adapted
for attachment to more than one kind
of vehicle or machine would solve the
problem. The machinery to do the
work would not be difficult to design,
and power supply from central stations
would quickly follow the perfection Of
electric farm machinery. 1t may come,
and if it does farm work will be revo-
over.

President Roosevelt has just received a
preliminary report of the international
monetary COM mission which has returned
from six months journey throughout
Europe, where it has been receiving sug.
gestions from the European governments
for the establishment of uniform rate oil
exchange between the gold and silver
using countries of the world. The com.
mission is composed of Hugh H. Hanna,
Charles A. Conant and Jeremiah w.
jerks. Mr.. Conant says that the report
will be made public i'll about two weeks
and that it shows that the leading gov.
ernments of Europe are agreed upon a
plan by which the gold standard will be
established in China. He said also that
the plan agreed upon would create an
increased demand for silver.

THE soLEMNITY OF SLEEP.
Filipinos Are Very Reluctant to
Awaken "a Person Even When
Ordered to Do So.

"There is one thing about life in the
Philippines that lazy man finds agree
able, if he is not in the army" said a
retired soldier, to a New York Times
man, 'and that is the way in which he
is allowed to sleep at all times and in all
places undisturbed. The Tired Tins of
the great race of tramps would find the
islands Paradise in this respect.
Zone of the rudest acts in the estima-
ton of the native is to step over sleep
ing person, or in any way interfere with
his repose. Sleeping, with them, is a
very important matter, and is invested
with solemnity, almost. They are
strongly averse to waking sleeper, as
they hold the idea that during sleep the
soul is absent from the body, and if they
suddenly call you from sleep the soul
may not have time to return to it's tene-
ment, the body. There are blood-crud-
ling legends of men who have revenged
themselves upon their enemies by thus
exiting their souls.
IF you would call upon native and
you are told that he is asleep, you may
as well go about your other business,
for you will not get to him until, at his
own good time, he awakens.
when you go to sleep, in order to get
a servant to arouse you at a certain
time, you must give him the strictest
orders to that effect before you turn in.
Then, if he obeys you at all, he will
stand by your side and whisper: Senior!
Senor!' repeating the word a little
louder each time until you are half
awake, when he will go back to the low
note, and again gradually raise his voice
until you are fully conscious. 1t is an
ideal way in which to be called from
sleep, if you are in no hurry, and man
should never be in a hurry in the Philip
pines; the climate is not adapted to &C
tivity. But it surely is great place to
Sleep"

sULU'S SPORTY SULTAN.
Is Fond of Racing His Ponies Against
Those of the American
Army Officers.

After three years of service as sur
geon of the United States army in the
Philippines, DR.. E. R. Tenney, of Kan
sas City, Kan, has returned to his home
in that city, reports the Star.
The sultan of Sulu, as described by
DR.. Tenney, is hardly the sort of
potentate pictured in comic opera He
is a very ordinary individual, who
lives in a very ordinary way and does
about as all the rest of the Sulus do.
"The Sultan of Sulu assumes control
over all the Moros," DR.. Tenney said,
''but in reality he has no control over
any but those who choose to follow him.
I met the sultan on several occasions
and was treated very cordially by him.
He is not man of great strength of
character or intelligence, but possesses
craft and cunning. The greatest man in
the sultan's domain is Hail Butu, the
prime minister.
Il visited the sultan in his home at
Miabon, directly across the island of
Sulu from the town of Iolo. 1t is very
ordinary house-nothing like a great
palace-and only little better than the
average native home. He has four legal
wives and fine string of ponies.
Ellis chief sport is to bring down po-
MES and race them against the army Off
GERS ponies, with such side attractions
as spear dances, accompanied by gongs,
tomtoms and native drums These are
the musical instruments of the Sulus,
for the Sulus are not a musical people
like the Filipinos.
"The sultan sometimes wears Euro
pean clothes, and while he entertains
his guests very nicely after his own
fashion, he seldom gives feast The
datos. or feudal lords, however, some
times prepare feasts for their guests of
sugars. fried bananas, rice cakes, heavy
and fried in cocoanut oil, with native
chocolate as beverage. The Sulus are
Mohammedans, and they have no intox-
:cating beverages. They chew the betel
nut, which blackens the teeth and takes
the place of tobacco and an important
part of the sulu's outfit is betel nut
box borne by slave. The women are
permitted to chew the betel nut after
they are married, and they marry at from
IA to Is years of age.

DUTIES OF CARDINALS.
lEecessitate the Possession of Some
! Exceptional QuaIities by High
Church Dignitaries.

The title of cardinal makes it's first app
pearance in history in the fourth GEN.
fury, and church authorities declare that
the name means. principal" and that it
is also derived from the Latin 'fcardo,"
the hinge, or pivot of a door. In the
early days certain principal churches in
Italy were known as cardinals, and the
title of cardinal was sometimes given
the chief pastors that directed them. To
this day. says the Brooklyn Eagle, the
canons of the cathedrals of Milan, Ra-
VIENNA, Salerno, Naples, Cremona, Com
postella and Barri wear scarlet robes
while officiating in the sanctuary. Pope
Plus v ordered them to relinquish the
title of cardinal that was given them
"by courtesy" though they retain their
robes.
1t is a remarkable fact that, though
the Office of cardinal is the highest in
the gift of the church next to that OF
pontiff, it may be bestowed on any men,
Der Of the Catholic church, layman OF
cleric. 1t does not require that man
shall have spent his years in the priest
hood or that he should have worn the
robes of bishop. Cardinal Antonelf,
whose opposition to Pope Leo at one
time attracted the attention of the whole
world, was appointed while he was yet
lay member of the church But once
the beretta and calotta are bestowed it
Is obligatory for the recipient to take
holy orders within a certain period OF
time
In rank at court the cardinal, wheth-
er he be deacon, priest or bishop, is
equal to prince of the blood And this
is one Of the things that give to the
diplomacy Of the church much of its
power. The representatives of the pope
at the courts of Austria and Spain and
lat Paris hold grave political powers and
their advice is sought alike by the rul-
ers of the nations and the leaders of the
parliamentary parties. The interests of
the church in these countries are so
great that the cardinals appointed TIC
represent Rome are among the best-in-
formed and most astute dignitaries at
the command of the pope.
At Rome various duties fall to the
lot of the cardinals. Most of them hold
posts at the head Of the various congre-
cations or bureaus in the administra-
ton Of church affairs. So important and
honorable are the interests consigned
to these posts that they are eagerly
sought for by the most powerful families
in the church and the conduct Of con-
gregation involves executive capacity of
the highest order.
The congregations are the consistorial,
for the reunion Of dissenting churches,
and the inquisition of holy Office, over
which the holy father himself presiGes.
Then come the congregation of bish-
ops and regulars, of the council. the
propaganda, the index OF rites, of stud
les and the sacra peniteniera.

TO RETURN BoER BIBLES.
Issuance of British War Office Order
with That Object in
View.

The following mem orandum by Lord
ish war Office, reports the London Times
of late date: 'It has been brought to
the snotice of the commander in chief
that, on the conclusion of the recent
war in South Africa, large number
of Boer families found, on returning to
their farms, that their family Bibles had
disappeared. 1t appears that the Boer
inhabitants of the South African col
onies set great store by their family
Bibles, which often contain family rec
ords of some antiquity, and even in some
cases are the only repository of such
records, in consequence of the unavoid-
able destruction of church registers.
Lord Roberts feels sure that if any per-
sons have in their possession any Of
these Bibles they will willingly return
them when they learn how they are val
ued by their former possessors; and he
thinks it unnecessary to emphasize how
much such kindly act would be ap-
preciated by our new fellow-subjects.
He therefore wishes it to be known as
and soldiers who are now serving, or
have been retired, discharged or rele-
gated to the reserve, whether they be-
longed to the regular army, auxiliary or
colonial troops, and also among any of
their friends to whom they may have
given them as relics, that Mr.. w. H.
Alexander of IL Bishopgate Without,

receive and dispatch to their owners
any such Bibles which may have been
taken from Boer farms. He feels sure
that the above facts, and the knowledge
that it is his wish that all such relics
should find their way back to their
formerly owners, will be sufficient to i'm
sure that their present owners however
much they may value them, will readily
part with them for this purpose"

He Landed All Ri~ht

/ A boy in grade seven in the Belfast
schools recently showed himself equal
to occasions as they arise The pupils
were asked to write an account of an
imaginary trip from Belfast to some for
eign city, each pupil having a different
city. The boy in question had Teheran
for his terminus. He had no more idea
where Teheran was than he had of the
means of conveyance to Mars, and he
just sat still and thought until within
three minutes of the time limit.
He then began and wrote as fast as he
could move his pen, and passed in his
paper on time. He started from Bel
fast in an automobile, and mentioned
all the principal places passed through
TO New York. In New York city his
automobile exploded, and he was in
Teheran. By advice of the principal of
the grammar schools, the teacher marked
the lesson perfect-Kennebec Journal.
