fayorite flower, the carnation, in the

public servant, il what is contemplated
by this movement, in which the young
and old Of both sexes can have part.
The custom was first observed on jan
uary 10Th, 1903, with the greatest
nuanimity throughout the country, and
by Americans all over the world. II
is simple, inexpensive act and full Of
patriotic sentiment. All through Mr
McKinley's life, both public and pri-
yate, there ran distinct vein Of senti-
ment, and a memorial Of this sort is,
therefore, peculiarly appropriate &c
him
The custom will undoubtedly be OBJ
served the coming goth day Of Januar,
more universally, if that is possible
than ON the initial day, year ago
Interest in the memorial has increased
wonderfully during the past year, anC
Mr.. Lewis G.. Reynolds, of Dayton
Ohio, who suggested the idea, has re
ceived letters Of the most unqualified
approval from Americans everywhere.
No expectation is had of giving tn
movement the importance of local OF
CARNATIONS or annual meetings AM
conventions, but in a quite, unobtrus
i've way it can be made to WELD an in
fiuence for good almost incalculabl
and to foster spirit Of true patriotism
worthy of our country and Of the ma
whose memory it is proud to honor.

An interesting instance Of the rapid
extension Of the use Of electricity Is
furnished BY the fortifcations distrib-
uted along our coast A few years
ago the electric light was introduced
to add to the comfort Of the garrisons
and to provide better illumination Of
the works. Once a generating plant
had been installed there was at hand
a supply Of power in a Convenient
and easily controllable form. and this
led to its use for purposes which were
not contemplated at the time the plant
was installed Electric fans have been
