20 years ago he proved that fog could be
dissipated electrically, and in a dense fog
he cleared a space of SO to 60 yards
radius by means of the discharges from
a Wimshurst machine. Only lack of
means prevented an attempt to give
London a clear atmosphere. Recent ad-
vances make possible the desired kind
of dynamo for a continuous curTs slt, and
it is believed that an excessive amount
of machinery would not be necessary,
for the fogs occur in a still atmosphere,
and are seldom of considerable height.
Sir Oliver suggests also that rain might
be electrically produced, as in India,
where the dark Monsoon clouds pass
over without discharging

Washington Wheat Crop.

Tacoma, Feb. 18.-The wheat crop OF
1902 in the state of Washington is esti =
mated at IS 100000 bushels by conser
vative people. The records in the
office of the state grain commission
show that since September /, Tacoma,
Seattle aud Spokane have received t.
O01 400 bushels for inspection. The
consumption of wheat bv interior mills
for grinding is roughly estimated at S.
600 900 bushels, and Portland is credited
with having received 5OO,OO bushels
of Washington wheat. Supposing that
there vet remains One-fourth or less of
the entire crop in the hands of farm ers,
this would leave more than 5000, 900
bushels yet to be moved, whicn would
bring the crop up to the figures 10 ex-
cess of 100000 bushels, or higher by
more than 100000 bushels than the
most conservative estimates made.
IT the farmers who are holding their
wheat in anticipation of war time prices
are not disappointed, the wonderfully
large crop of the past year will exert a
potent influence on the individual
wealth of the state Even at prevailing
prices the farmer is very much to be
envied person.

THE TRIAL OF NAN PATTERSON
-Four Jurors selected When Court
Adjourned for the Day.
(By the Associated Press.


New York, Nov. 16.-After more
IMAM five months in the Tombs prison
awaiting trial on a charge of murder,
the case Of Nan Patterson, the alleged
slayer of aeSar Young, was brought
TO trlal in the Criminal branch of the
supreme court today
Delay first from one cause and then
from another, has been a prominent
feature in the case ever since Miss
Patterson was taken into custody after
the tragic death of Young in a Gag,
in which he and the young woman
were driving to the pier where Young
was TO take a steamer for Europe.
Even In it's last stages, after the date
for trial mad been fixed, a minor case
which claimed the attention of the
court dragged slowly along and forced
another delay.
In anticipation of the beginning of
the trial, the court room was crowded
with spectators when Justice Vernon
NJ. Davis took his seat on the bench
today. There was only a slight delay
before it was announced that every
thing for the opening of the trial was
in readiness. Miss Patterson dress
ed in black, was brought in by prison
attendants and took seat beside her
counsel, Abraham Levy and Daniel
O'Reilly. Her father, j. Randolph
Patterson, OF washington, had a seat
within the bar enclosure The work
of selecting "A jury from a special panel
Of 100 talesmen was begun at once.

Rand during the examination of tales

said Mr.. Rand, the prosecution does
not intend to call an eyewitness to

JAPANESE MONOPOLY.
How The Jap Government Makes
Money Out Of Tobacco.

A brief but interesting report upon
the new tobacco monopoly of Japan
has just been received by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor from
United States Vice-Consul Sharp, of
Kobe, Japan. Mr.. Sharp says
THE law relating to the monopoly
of leaf tobacco was promulgated in
March, 1896 This law provided that
all leaf tobacco grown was to be
bought by the government and in
turn sold to the manufacturers by the
government at q fixed rate of profit.
The government has realized a good
profit from this system, but in study
ing the customs in respect to tobacco
monopoly of other countries it was
seen that the monopoly of leaf tobac-
co was but a step to the establishment
of the monopoly of tobacco manu-
facture, with the result that the law
of monopoly of tobacco manufacture
was established in March, 1904.
According to this law, though the
government has the exclusive right
of tobacco manufacture, the cultiva-
ton of leaf tobacco is left to private
growers, as heretofore. Toabcco is to
be made at public factories established
in various parts of the country. The
manufactured article is to be sold to
retailers through the hands of whole
sumner, the wholesale merchants and
retailers to be appointed by the gov
eminent.
I'm the case of cigarettes the new
monopoly law went into effect III July
1904 and the requirements regarding
cut tobacco will go into effect in
April. 1906
The tariff on cigars, cigarettes
snuff and cut tobacco from the Uni
ted States, is $50 per cent under the
law. which went into effect April /
1903"

Acceptance of the resignation is
said TO be a matter of extreme doubt
DR.. Hodge has many warm personal
friends and admirers in the church
and these will vote against the accept
ance of the resignation. The majority
will rule. The laws of the Presby-
terrain church require that a rinistet
who desires to sever his connection
with church of which he is pastor
shall ask the congregation to join
with him in requesting a dissolution
The whole matter is then referred &C

1t is customary for the synod to act
on the decision of the congregations

DIR. Hodge said last night that he
had made no plans for the future

accepted he will engage in literary
work in Louisville for a time"
