ELECTRIC AIDS IN FARMING.
Agrleulturists Of the Future Will De-
pend Largely on the Current.


AgrleuIturists Of the Future Will De-
pend Largely on the Current.
Scientific men who are calling at
tention to the great benefits of cleo
tro-culture say the farmer of the fu'
ture will be a highly skilled electri-
clan, who from a central switchboard
at his farm will direct the germina-
tion 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 sup
ply of energy in the form of electric
current according TO certain deter
mined rules, the agriculturist will take
his place with the other large users
of electricity under modern conditions.
This is the prospect held out by
Belgian scientist, Prof. Guarini, who
has recently been delivering a course
of lectures under government aus
pieces 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 Prof. Guarini the at
mospheric electricity is essential to
plant growth and it is not electricity
that can be substituted for light in
certain 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 accompanying electric radiation,
that may take the place Of purely
electrical action.

on Sunday All the way over the par

gers by crying, most agreeably: Hell

see you major" Sometimes the par
rot became more affectionate and ex-
claimed, invitingly: Kiss me, major"
The parrot belongs to Miss Margaret
Harold, an attractive young English
woman. So the second cabin whispered
that Miss Harold was crossing the
ocean to keep her promise to marry a
certain major formerly in his majesty's
army. but now engaged in peaceful
pursuits here. But what the majors
name is neither Miss Harold nor the
green parrot will tell.
The major met Miss Harold at the
pier Hello, major!" yelled the par
rot, joyously. But after a few minutes
talk with the major Miss Harold did
not seem a bit glad to see him. When
the parrot called gayly, Kiss me, ma
jor,'' Miss Harold looked ready 10

In fact, Miss Harold and the major

Boarding Officer Jackson of the i'm

take her back to Ellis island.
The major visited Miss Harold on
Ellis island today and had two inter-
views with her. Loud sobbing was
heard behind the closed doors, and
from each interview Miss Harold
emerged with eyes red from weeping.
The major would say only: Il can say
nothing
1t is reported that he is eager to
marry Miss Harold, but that he has
not SO many worldly goods as she ex
pected. Meantime the parrot croaks
sadly: Why, major

MEANS TO GUAGE PURITY AND
wHoLEsoMENEss ADOPTED
BY GOVERNMENT.
Many Articles Of Common Use Are
Standardized by the Govern
ment Special Agents.

WASHINGTON, Dec. pa stand
ard by which food products will be
measured to ascertain their purity and
wholesomeness has been adopted by
the secretary of agriculture. A COM
mission of experts, after careful ex-
animation, made a report to Secretary
Wilson of their conclusions, which he
had approved. The standard will he
used in prosecutions under the pure
food law to punish dealers for the sale
of adulterated and injurious foods.
The standard adopted for flour calls
for not more than 1875 per cent Of
moisture, not less than 1856 per cent
of ash and not more than 5 per cent Of
fiber Maize meal, cornmeal or Indian
cornmeal should contain not more
than Il per cent Of moisture, not less
than LIP per cent of nitrogen and not
over 1.6 per cent of ash. Oatmeal to
be wholesome, requires not more than
per cent of moisture, LIS per cent of
crude fiber, not less than 2.24 per cent
of nitrogen, and not over % per cent
of ash.
The standard of milk requires II
per cent of total solids, S.5 per cent
solids not fat and 1925 per cent of milk
fat. Condensed milk should contain
at least % per cent of milk solids of
which not less than one-fourth should
be milk fat. The cream standard calls
for not less than Is per cent of milk
fat, while ful-cream or wholemilk
cheese should have not less than so
per cent of butter fat.
Many other articles of common use
are standardized, including wines and
liquors. The percentages of alcohol
and OF adulterants in each are limited.

on his own recognizance. The con-

city on Friday evening on the steam
ship Lampasas under heavy guard,
after having been extradited from
Texas on a charge of perjury in con-
nection with the famous divorce tangle
will result in arrests that will startle

made by powerful financial interests
to kidnap him in order to prevent his
making an exposure in open court of
the amazing divorce scandal.
Former Assistant District Attorney
James w. Osborne, the new counsel
for Dodge, said after the arraignment:
Dodge will be the guest of state for
some time. He will be a most i'm

he has not had counsel of his own. He
now has.

ss One OF these men IS nlgn IN the
council of Tammany Hall and occupies
one of the highest Offices in the gift
of the people.
Another is one of the best-knOwn
lawyers in the city. AS a prelude to
the remarkable developments attending
Dodge's return, it was learned from the
detectives on his arrival that in des-
peration at the prospect of his being
tried for his part in the gigantic di-
vorce plea he sought to end his troubles
by trying to leap overheard while the
Lampasas was still in the Gulf of Mex
leo. Dodge, who made his confession
during an all-night submission to the
third degree at police headquarters, is
under the guard of at least eight Off
GERS, including United States deputy
marshals, detectives and others whose
mysterious interests in the scandal
have not yet become public.

ing to wait a generation for canal !?
Sea Level Not Urged.

But Chief Engineer Wallace has
not recommended the immediate con-
struction of sea-level canal. In fact,
he has made no recommendations at
ALL He has only discussed various al
tentative plans, and in good time he
will tell congress and the country
which one of these he elects to support.
1t is, however, well understood that
Mr.. Wallace believes the United
States should construct canal which
may at any time. If the traffic war
rants it, be converted into sea-level
canal. In this he is supported by
Chairman Kittredge of the senate ca
nal committee ana by other public men
who have carefully studied the situa-
ton.
The Suggested Solutions.
In all the world today there is no
other engineering problem one-half so
interesting as the canal problem at
Panama. There are four suggested So
lutions:
F'irst-A lock canal with the high
level ninety feet above the sea; cost
about 5000, OO0, O00: time required, eight
or nine years
Second-A lock canal with the high
level sixty feet above the sea; cost
about sz25 5000 900; time required, ten
years.
Third-A lock canal with the high
level thirty feet above the sea; cost
about $25O,0O0,OO0; time required,
twelve years.
Fourth-A sea-level canal with
tide lock at the Pacific end; cost
about s300,OOO,OO0; time required, fif-
teen years.
1t is the third plan that is likely to
be adopted.

SEA LEVEL PLAN IS NOT GIVEN
FIRST PLACE BY ENGi-
NEER WALLACE.
Believes That Government Should Con
struct Canal That Would Be
Practical at All Times.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Walter Well
man, in a Washington special to the
Record Herald, says:
Not a sea-level Panama canal, but
a canal with locks, and SO constructed
that it may be converted into a tide
water canal at any time without OBJ
struction of traffic from ocean to
ocean, This is the Panama project
now in highest favor with Chief Engi-
neer Wallace, member of the canal
commission, and leading public men
who have given careful attention to
the isthmian problem.
Much confusion of mind appears to
exist throughout the country over the
abstract of the preliminary report of
Chief Engineer Wallace, recently pub
lished. Many persons have gained the
idea that a sea-level canal has been
decided upon. This is not true. No
definite plan has been adopted, and
Engineer Wallace and his staff are
now at Panama, pursuing their inves-
LEGATIONS preparatory to making a fl
nal definite recommendation to the
commission.
