Electric Aids in Farming.

Scientific men who are calling atten-
ton to the great benefits Of electro
culture say the farmer Of the future
will be highly skilled electrician, who
from central switchboard at his farm
will direct the termination and growth
of cabbages, carrots, potatoes and other
crops. No longer an ignorant laborer
or mere machine dependent upon the
weather, but, like an engine driver,
regulating the supply of energy in the
form of electric current according to
certain determined rules, the agricul-
turist will take his place with the other
large users of electricity under modern
conditions.
This Is the prospect held out by q
Belgian scientist, Professor Guarini,
who has recently been delivering a
course Of lectures under government
auspices at the Agricultural Institute
Of Gembloux, on the relation of cleo
tricity to plant life, which he states Is
an electrical phenomenon that can be
regulated at will.
According to Professor Guarini the
atmospheric electricity is essential to
plant growth and it Is not electricity
that can be substituted for light in GER
tain cases in the accomplishment of
the function Of chlorophyl, which is
in the decomposition of carbonic acid
and water, but the light of the sun or
Of electricity arc lamps, with the ac-
companying electric radiation, that
may take the place of purely electrical
action.

When Sumner Was NonpIussed.

A party of tourists were standing
before the portrait of Charles Sumner
that hangs in the national capitol.
Such strong facet" $50 intellec-
tual!" $50 serene!" were some OF the
comments.
An old and feeble man, who leaned
on the arm of a guide, heard the
words, and smiled.
"Serene." he said. Serene is good.
When Matt Carpenter was in the Sen
ate he and Sumner had a tilt. don't
remember what it was about, but l
think Matt-he was one of our towns
people, you know, and we all admired
him-Matt flung it at Sumner that he
ought to be sorry for what he had
done.
"Never, sir!" retorted Sumner, with
emphasis. Never! During all OF the
years of my public life have yet to
look back upon one single public act
that can cause me regret!"
Carpenter tossed back the mass OF
gray hair that shaded his forehead,
and exclaimed in tone of rapture:
"Happy Senator from Massachu.

CHAPTER XIV.
When Love Meets Love.

Before the time of the Confessor
the West Minister was little more than
the Monastery chapel, in which the
presence of the parish folk, If not for
hidden, was still in no way encourag
ed. Today, when the Lord Ivarsdale
came unnoticed into the dim light
while the last strains of the vesper
service were rising, there were nc
more than a score of worshipers scat
tered through the north aisle. After a
searching glance around him, the
Etheling took up his station in the
shelter of a pillar.
Little danger-or hope-is there
that l can miss her." he told himself
III she is indeed here, as the page
said"
Tender as the cleaning of a sum
mer day was the shade in the great
nave, with the ever-burning candles to
remind one of the eternal stars. From
the threats of the hidden choir, the
last note swelled rich and full, to
roll out over the pillared aisles in a
wave of vibrant sound and pass away
in a sigh Of ineffable sweetness under
the rafters.
AS he bowed his head in the holy
hush that followed the hush of souls
before wordless benediction, some
of Sebert's bitterness gave way to a
great compassion. What were we all,
when all was told, but wrong-doers
and mourners? Why should one hold
anger against another? In pity for
himself and the whole world, his heart
ached within him, as rustling of
gowns and a shutting of feet told that
the worshipers had risen from their
knees and were coming toward him.
The young mobiles glance leaped
them completely in its haste to reach
those who followed-the knot of
women, fluttering and rustling and
.preening like flock of birds. But
the bird he sought was not of their
number. He stared blindly at the
pilgrim as the wanderer shuffled past,

AS a flower toward the sun, she
seemed to sway toward him, then
drew back, her sweet mouth trem'
bling softly. IL want not your

Still kneeling before her, he pos
sessed himself of her hands and drew
them down to his lips. as it thus. on

said Holding the hands fast, he
rose and stood before her. Heart be-
loved of my heart, you were merciless
to read the truth before. Look again
and take care that you read me as
fairly now"
Despite his gentleness, there was a
strength in his exaltation which would
not be resisted. Turning shrinkingly,
she, looked into his eyes.
In the gray-blue depths of her own
he saw the simmer of a dawning
light, as when the evening star first
breaks through June sky, and gradu-
ally the star-splendor spread over her
face, until it touched her parted lips.
"You-love me-" she breathed, but
her voice no longer made it ques-
ton.
Still gazing into his eyes, she let
him draw her closer and closer, till
he had gathered her to his breast

The murmur of the rain that was
falling gently on the budding roses of
the Abbey garden stole in through the
open windows Of Elfgiva's bower and
blended softly with the music of Can
dida's Tyre. Poring over the dingy
scrolls spread out OH the table be-
fore her, the Lady Of Northampton
yawned until she was moved to throw
herself back among her cushions with
a gesture of graceful surrender.
1T seems that the Saints are going
to take pity on me and shorten one
of these endless days with nap.
Nurse, have care for these scrolls.

room away, figure in iris-blue turned
from the window by which it stood.

hair, sweet? Is it to shelter them
from the rain that you wear them?

But Elfgiva raised an impatient
hand. Peace, chatterers!" she COM
manded; and drawing the girl to her,
she spoke low and earnestly in her

among the cushions. Il would rather

The girl touched the spot where the
gold chain that encircled her neck
crept into the breast of her gown.
The lady shook her head.

Gomara was no mere dreamer of great things. He
had reasons for his belief in the practicability of his
canal project, having roughly surveyed three routes,
and lit is interesting to know that modern engineers
have followed the same lines that he recommended.
While Gomaras definite proposal appears to have
been the first Official formulation of a canal project,
there are indications in the writings of the time that
it was in the thoughts of the people of Spain from
the time of Balboa, and was the talk of wayslde inns.
When a traveller returned from the New World rested
at an inn, he was questioned about the progress of the
search for a waterway between the two oceans; and the
glorious results that would follow If the oceans
were TO be joined" were enthusiastically discussed.
Only the Government was indifferent to the great
enterprise. The fires of Spanish ambition soon burned
themselves out, or were eXtinguished by bigotry, and
Gomara's splendid dream was forgotten.
For more than two centuries the project of an
inter-oceanc canal seems to have been lost sight of
by all the nations. 1t was revived in 1880, when
England sent Captain (afterward Lord Nelson with
two thousand men to take possession of Nicaragua.
In his dispatches, Nelson disclosed the purpose OF
the conquest. He said: I'm order to give facility
to the great object of Government, ! intend to possess
the lake of Nicaragua, which for the present NAV be
looked upon as the inland Gibraltar of Spanish America.

The Navy General Staff

THE recent movement in the Navy to get Congress
to authorize a General Staff, or strategy board,
recalls an incident that occurred early in the Civil
War when there was no such department. as an Office
of Detail, the Secretary of the Navy attending to
that duty himself. The Secretary finally detailed
Captain Charles H. Stringham for the place.
Soon afterward Captain S~tringham was needed to
command a squadron, and he was relieved from the
Office of Detail. 1t was decided to order another
"well-known and efficient officer to succeed Captain
Stringham. A few days later. on April /, 1861, an
order (Which some of the officers designated as an
April Fool" order) was issued by the Secretary of
the Navy and signed by President Lincoln, directing
Captain Samuel Barron, U. S. Navy. to relieve
Captain S. H. Stringham at the Office of Detail"
1t was several days later that the order came back
to the Navy Department undelivered to the officer,
and then it came out that Captain Barron had in
February accepted an appointment as Captain in the
Confederate Navy and had been in the South for
several weeks. 1t was a strange sequel which oc-
CURED FIVE months later. when Captain Barron sur
rendered to Commodore S%tringham as prisoner of war
on the reduction of the forts at Hatteras Inlet.
The Office of Detail was established "in the
manner best adapted to meet the wants of the service"
and Is now united with the Bureau of Navigation. of
which Rear-Admiral Henry c. Taylor is at the head.
