by accident. The engineer, Hugo Hell

rent to run into the ground. when he
noticed scores OF worms coming hurry
icurry out OF the earth, as II they were
being chased On looking more closely
At the ground he noticed that hundreds
Of smaller worms and insects were run
ning for their lives away from the
deadly current. The other discovery
was made also by u German, an cleo
rician of Darmstadt. Impossible as
I may seem, he has succeeded IN trans
iormlng air into foriilIzlng material.
By means OF large electric sparkling

the mir with substance made OF lime
and carbon. So Il Is now possible to
send an electric current through the
oil and free the roots OF plants from
tho worms. snalls, beetles ana other
Insects that are injurious to the plants.
Il Is also possible to feed plants, veg
siables, grain, etc, with food that is
obtained from the air. Both these
miracles are accomplished by the same
power that causes the lightning. which

Il Is doing splendid work IN building
good roads at small cost Some OF the
facts and figures given by the South

showing that good roads can be con.

have believed possible. Thus, In New

claimed that this road n the cheapest
ever constructed In the United States,
and this claim will not be disputed.

being constructed at cost OF $500
