the small increase in the South, while

For electrical heating, The appara-
tus Is simple, being nothing more than
a suitable form of resistance. and its
cost should not be excessive. For con
tinuous heating, the advaptage-the
question of cost not being considered
lies with the electric system.
Considering the final test of the ap-
plicability of any systematic cost of
operation-we find the reason for the
poor showing. comparatively. of the
electric heating system. When the
question of cost is the deciding one,
electric heating cannot compete with
any of the other systems, with the
price for electrical energy at It's pres
ent figure. 1t seems evident that the
electric power companies are not try
ing to build up this branch of their
business. Electric heaters may be op-
Grated from a power circuit and sta
ton. But electric heating of buildings
can hardly be considered at this time,
except in very special cases. such, for
instance, as in a hospital. where the
cost Is a small matter compared with
the convenience.

tent work. a slight concession from
the central stations would result in a
greatly increased use of electric heat

Father Odcnbach of St. Isnatius col
lege in Cleveland. Ohio. has invented
an instrument &c foretcll the coming
of distant thunderstormS. utilizing the
principles at the base of wireless teleg-
raphy. The various parts Of the ap-
paratus are a relay. a sounder, a Co
herer. a choking coil. two batteries. a
recording ChrCuograph and a copper
collector on the roof. connected by 4
copper wire with the observatory. A
lightning fash sends out in all direc-
tons rays of electromagnetic waves.
These strike the collector and descend
through the wire to the primary cir
cui, OF the relay. Their way is blocked
by the choking coil. and, therefore,
they pass in great part through the
cohcrCr. The moment they do so this
tube becomes a conductor for the pri-
mary current: the relay acts and
closes a secondary circuit. he record
ing magnet moves a pen and makes a
record: and at the same time the
erounder in the secondary circuit

over until n second distinct flash sends
out a wave to be recorded in the same
manner The first form of the appara,
tus has been improved by using a
graphite coherer, and records distant
thunder storms from one to three
hours before they reach Cleveland. 1t
appears that at least an hours warn

The Sensations of Insects.

Investigations Of the intelligence of
the lower animals are always Of deep
interest. We seem to gain some in
sight into our own natures in this
way. DIR. Forel, the celebrated neu-
%rologist, has paused from his re-
searches on the diseases of the human
brain to study the nervous systems
and the sensations of ants and bees.
His book has just been printed at
Paris. Some Of his results are sum-
married. in what follows. DR.. Forel
concludes, with Muller, that the vision
Of insects is in mosaic" That Is,
an insect perceives an object like a
mosaic-as II it were made up of bits
separated by dark lines, the lines cor.
responding to the edges of the facets
of the insects eye. The image Is
usually not sharp, though when the
number Of facets is considerable
$4,000 to 10000, the definition is
good. 1t is by sight that flight is
directed. When the Eyes are covered
with a thin layer of varnish the in
sect is powerless to direct its move
ments. The %antennae serve as organs
o.. tOucU anu dlLlUSl as IL tney were
smelling gan also. By them in
sects find their food and recognize
their companions and their enemies.
The enmity Of certain species of ants
for others is well known. If they are
put in the same pen a fight to the
death at once ensues. When the
ntennae are cut. however. the differ
ent species are entirely friendly. Ger
ain insects cease to lag eggs the mo-
ment their a%ntennae are cut. They
can no longer smell the ~decaying
meat that is fit for a nesting place for
the egg. DR.. Forel concludes that the
instinct to lay eggs is not destroyed;
the sensorial impression that sets the
instinct ut work is no longer opera
tive. 1t is his conclusion that insects
have more than instinct; they have
a soul. so to say. at any rate, q mind
capable Of forming judgments. of
choosing. Bees have. for example, an
astonishing memory Of localities. In
stinct and automatism are far from
constituting all their mental life.

BoWinq Guide for VioIins,

Heretofore the most difficult thing
for beginners to acquire in violin
playing has been what is termed

This addition to its equipment will en-
able The Republican to make many i'm
provements in Its daily and weekly ed
itions. Increased business in the job
printing line also made the addition
of another linotype a necessity.
OF all the achievements of the in
genuity of man, the linotype is prob
ably the greatest. 1t does everything
but talk. In the hands of an expert
operator it takes the place Of not less
than four expert compositors. Every
day 1t makes an entirely new face OF
type. The inventor "a pleased to
call 1t his dream. Fol- than a
century inventors had been puzzling
their brains over machines for the set
ting of movable types, but Mergen-
thaler, q jeweler, broke away from all
the old ideas and produced a machine
that would make its own type as rap
idly as an expert operator could ma
nipulate a keyboard. Instead of pro-
ducing single letters, it casts a slug
of an entire line, hence the name limo
type" The machine has more than
1900 parts and is as sensitive as a
high-bred, nervous woman. II any
thing goes wrong. no break occurs.
The machine Simply enters a protest
by stopping, MOI wiil it start again till
the Wrong is righted.
With two up-to-date linotypes The
Republican feels entirely able to keep
abreast of the progress Of the state
and will continue to improve just as
