Suns Spots Affect Compass.
superintendent Maunder of the solar

tary motion of the sun causes stream
of electrically charged particles to as
sumo the spiral form, reaching out to
and surrounding the earth. His OBJ

Professor Holden's Triumph.
AS a result Of the efforts of Professor
p. G. Holden Of the Iowa Agricultural
college in his two years campaign to
educate the farmers on the Importance
Of selected seed and proper planting,
the farmers of Iowa have added 100,-
5000 bushels to their corn crop this
year as compared with last year. This
means an approximate increase in
earnings of $1O,OOO,000. All last spring
and winter Professor Holden Travelled
over the state in special trains at the
expense Of the railroads giving instruc-
lions to interested throngs of farmers.
1t is expected that similar gain in
the crop will be made next year. The
professor is the hero of the applied
science.
Suffering From Drought.
The continued dry weather over
large eastern section of the country
from southwestern Pennsylvania to
western Kentucky and Tennessee and
including the northern part of Georgia
and South Carolina caused serious dis
tress. Mills were idle, animals were
suffering and frequently water was
carried many miles for household use.
In some sections no rain had fallen for
three months and no place had been ia
vored with moisture for sixty days. In
many places meetings were held to
pray for rain. The railroads have been
hauling water to their route tanks for
a month or more and on long runs car
ry a tank car behind the tender con-
nected with the boiler by rubber
hose.
Employers In Convention.
The Citizens Industrial Alliance of
America held its second annual con-

listened to a number Of addresses at

and socialism. About 400 employers
were present, over half of whom rep
resented local associations Of employ
ers In his opening address President
Parry said he had the record of 1000
manufacturing establishments which
have abandoned the closed or union
shop in the last year, $50 of which
were in Chicago alone. In consequence
he said the output Of factories had
been increased 25 per cent per man.
Both organized labor and federated
capital have now spoken, and the issue

WHAT HORSEPOWER" is.
Il Means the Average Work One Horse
Does In Minute.

Il Means the Average Work One Horse
Does In a Minute.
What is the relative amount Of
J work that man can do in compari-
son with horse or machinery? At
his very best the strongest man
stands in pretty poor comparison
even with a horse for hard, continu-
Gus labor. He might perform for
q few minutes one-half horsepower
of work, but to keep this up for any
great length of time would be i'm
possible.
Thus the gain in forcing horses
to do a part of the worlds work was
enormous. One horse could exhaust
a dozen men in single day and still
be ready for the next days work.
The measurement of a horses
power for work was first ascertained
by Watt, the father Of the modern
steam engine, and he expressed this
in terms that hold today. He ex-
perimented with a great number of
heavy brewery horses to satisfy him
self that his unit of measurement
for work was correct. After many
trials he ascertained that the aver
age brewery horse was doing work
equal to that required to raise $50
pounds of weight 100 feet high in
one minute, or $4,000 pounds one
foot in one minute. So he called
this one horsepower.
This work, however, is not con-
tinuous, for the horse would have to
back up after each pull to lower the
line Of the pulley, and thus he would
work four hours a day in pulling
$50 pounds in the air at the rate Of
100 feet minute and four hours in
Stacking up the rope. Consequent
ly no horse can actually perform
continuously what is generally call
ed one horsepower. The horse was
never born that could tug at rope
for eight hours day, pulling $50
pounds lOO feet each minute With
out rest or change. Consequently
when we speak Of horsepower we re-
fer only to the average work horse
can do in one minute-that is to
say, the rate at which he can work.
A strong man might pull half
that weight 100 feet in the air in
two minutes, but he could not re-
peat the operation many times with
out being exhausted.
For all needful purposes the ex-
preston of one horsepower is accu-
rate enough and practically shows
the measurement of an average
horses abilities for working. As a
rule,a strong man can in eight hours
work at the rate of about one-tenth
Of one horsepower-that is, it would
require ten men to pull $50 pounds
100 feet in the air in a minute and
then slack up and repeat the opera
ton throughout the eight hours of
working day. The worlds gain
in labor when horses were first en-
ployed to help man in his work was

The notice of a suit brought at New
York by H. D. Newton, a banker of
Brookline, Mass, against Mrs. Cassie
Chadwick of Cleveland, O., for $780,
600, the sum loaned her, and the coin
cident closing of the Citizens National
bank of Oberlin, O., which carried
large notes Of Mrs. Chadwick's, made a
financial sensation last week. One sto-
ry was that Mrs. Chadwick was none
other than notorious clairvoyant,
Nine. Lydia Devere. Another was that
Mrs. Chadwick's note for 100000,
which had been used as collateral, was
Endorsed by Andrew Carnegie, the null
timillionaire. Mr.. Carnegie denied 1t.
Later the Newton suit against Mrs.
Chadwick was called off, and it was
announced that the woman would meet
her obligations. 1t was intimated that
she had fortune of 100000 in Sc

ARBITRATION TREATIES.
Expected That Senate Committee VIII
Make Favorable Report.

Washington. December 2s.-The senate
committee on foreign relations has not
yet taken up the several arbitration
treaties negotiated last autumn and sent
to the senate before the holiday recess
1t is expected that a meeting of the COM
mlttee will be held next week and that
these treaties will be favorably reported.
Several southern senators who have
been examining them have raised the
question as to whether, under Them the
bonds of southern states issued during
the reconstruction period could be arbi-
trated and declared valid. They have
given notice that if the treaties provide
for the adjudication of such bonds they
will oppose them unless an addition is
inserted which in express terms will de-
clare that the bonds of a state shall not
be arbitrated.
There are many millions of dollars of
the bonds which it is claimed were fraud
ulently issued and for which the states
received no benefit. Their payment was
refused.
Other senators who have looked into
the question say that they believe the
arbitration treaties cannot be construed
to cover these state bonds.

STEAMER BATTERED
BY The HEAVY SEAS
UNKNOWN VESSEL ON SHOALS
EIGHT MILES OFF CAPE HAT
TERAS-sloNALs MADE TO THE
LIFE SAVERS.

Norfolk, Va, December Shattered
by heavy seas that have been dashed to
fury by the forty-mile gale, an unknown
steamer lies helpless on the inner Dia-
mond shoals, eight miles off Cape Hat
teras, tonight. and faint lights seen now
and then carry a message to the life
saving corps on shore that there are hui
man lives aboard the wrecked craft that
cannot be saved until wind and sea have
Gained sufficiently to allow the surf
boats to be launched.
The observer of the United States
weather bureau at Hatteras first saw the
steamer when tie fog lifted shortly be-
fore noon today. At that time she ap-
peared to be in distress, and later it
was seen that she had grounded on the
inner shoa1, known to mariners as HelPs
Hole"
The heavy seas careened over the YES
sci and placed her on her beams end.
and at 3 o'clock this afternoon she was
lying on her port side, with seas wash
ing all over her.
The steamer has three masts and one
funnel Her engines and boilers are aft,
and the funnel is between the main mast
and the mizzen mast. From her descrip-
ito ii is thought she may be one of the
fruit liners that ply between West IN
dian ports and Baltimore, or New York.
At o'clock tonight the observer at
Hatteras reported that the life saving
crews of several stations along the car
DINA coast in the vicinity of Hatteras
were ready on the beach to launch their
surf boats the minute the wind and
tide had abated sufficiently to allow them
to. At that time the wind had dropped
from 40 to Sc miles an hour.
