The republican county convention in
Lancaster county, for which call has
been ordered, has 5S1 delegates entitled
to seats, representing the various wards
and precincts. This will make a conven-
ton more than half as large as the
state convention for all the republicans
In Nebraska. A large convention, how
ever, does not necessarily mean that
the elements in it may not be almost
evenly divided, or that the result may
not turn on the preferences of one or
two of the delegates. The advantage
of the large representation lies in inter-
esting a large percentage of the party
in the active work of its organization.

RiPpIes on the Current of Life In the
Metropolis.

Electricity as an aid to the growth Of
vegetables has been tried in the Long
Island garden Of John c. Breckenridge, an
engineer and experimental agriculturist.
Similar experiments were made in former
years, but the results this year are the
most satisfactory yet obtained. Each sea-
son since Mr.. Breckenridge has given the
early growth Of his potatoes, onions, to-
matoes and other vegetables the electrical
treatment he has captured the first prizes
for size and quality OF vegetables and fruits
in Richmond HILL A few years ago Mr..
Breckenridge ran an electrical wire from
his residence to his barn for an arc light.
Mr.. Breckenridge soon noticed that the
green things under the new lamp were
growing with much greater rapidity than
anything else on the place. Experiments
demonstrated that this greater growth was
due to the electric light. He installed more
electric lamps and had vegetables on his
table several weeks before his neighbors.
Further experiment showed that gentle
current of electricity applied to the roots
Of plants and trees from beneath the
ground is more Immediately beneficial than
the night light. The theory regarding this
wonderful discovery is that the slight oscil-
lation obtained from a mild current in
vigorates the plants and produces in them
in a few hours what the sun requires days
to perform.

At the present time, says writer IN
Worlds Work, the number Of passengers
handled on the surface and elevated lines
of the metropolitan territory amounts to
about !, $780, 100000 a year. an increase within
ten years of more than 100 per cent The
increase OF passenger travel as compared
with the Increase of population is at the
rate of almost three to one, aud such has
been the experience In nearly all large
cities.
In Manhattan, Richmond and the Bronx
2,50O,000 passengers are handled daily, about
10000 In Brooklyn and Queens and about
10000 on the local lines Just over the river
In New Jersey. making a total of more
than 4,0Oo,O daily riders.
In the year 1860 the number OF rides per
capita of population on Manhattan Island
was 81; in 1870 It was lis, In 1880, IT was 1872,
In 1890 1t was &3 in 1900 1t was SsS and for
1908 It is estimated at AIS.
Three figures reflect, not only the growth
of Manhattan, but also of the surrounding
territory. The distribution Of the daily
travel between the elevated and surface
lines of Manhattan is indicated by the
figures furnished for the six working days
OF the week ending December 49, 1902, in
which the elevated system averaged 749 liz
and the surface lines 1,519,6OS, making a
total of 2,26S, $50 passengers daily.
These figures are often exceeded, For
instance, on the first day Of the Dewey
celebration. in September, 1899. the elevated
carried sos, 600 and on the second day 1886 900
and on Monday. December p, 1902, it carried
sS1, 900 passengers; and on Monday, Decem-
ber H. 1902, the surface lines carried l.,
625,l27. Seventy-ive per cent of the sur
face trafic and all OF the elevated traffic is
north and south traffic; and only 25 per
cent of the surface traffic is handled on
the east and west lines.

The new method Of relieving congestion
at crowded crossings is working well.
Take, for instance, Broadway and Fulton
street. A policeman stands on one corner
and another directly across from him. The
first one raises his hand and the other fol-
lows suit. One of them has signaled to the
linz Of vehicles on Fulton street, on the
west Of Broadway, and another to similar
line on the east.
All these vehicles stop instantly. Then a
signal is made to the north and south lines
of travel on Broadway. Both lines move.
In about a half minute the roadway is
cleared. Then the signals are repeated, in
reverse order. The lines on Broadway
halt, while those on Fulton street move
This order of motion is kept up at half
minute intervals during the busy hours of
the day.
The drivers and motormen obey instantly.
They have discovered that there are no
tanRles now and that they can make much
better time than under the old method.

DR.. John McGaw Woodbury., commits
sioner of street cleaning, has installed an
extemporlzed garbage incinerator in the
abandoned public school building at North
Moore and Varick streets. and he has
demonstrated the possibilities OF dry rub
bish Of which 30 per cent is waste paper
as a substitute for coal.
DR.. Woodbury. said that within a week
he expects to have in readiness a machine
of great power that will compress this
material into bricks, thus saving the
great item of transporting and storing
1t in it's loose forms. These paper bricks
will be as readily handled as sticks of
frewood, and can be thrown into the
furnaces in the same manner. DIR. Wood
bury is arranging to deliver the first out
put Of fuel bricks to Commissioner Robert
Grier Monroe OF the department OF water
supply, gas and electricity for use at the
resel voir pumping stations.
At present he can supply $1,000 cubic
yards year of this material, which used
70 cost 10 cents a cubic yard to take to sea
and dump.
AZ the test the incinerator developed 800
heat units, and showed that II could yield
twenty four horse power. The combustion
too. was far from perfect the residue being
50 rich in carbon that It seemed as II 1t
could be used for fuel as readily as coke
or charcoal
