ELECTRIC AIDS IN FARMING.

Aericulturtsts Of the Future Will De-
pend Largely on the Current.
Scientific men who are calling at
tentiOn to the great benefits of cleo
tF0-Culture say the farmer of the fu-
ture will be a highly skilled electri-
clan, who from central switchboard
at his farm will direct the germina-
ton 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 aEriCulturist will take
his place with the other large users
of electricity under modern conditions.
This is the prospect held out by a
Belgian scientist, Prof. Guarini, who
has recently been delivering a course
Of lectures under government aus
piCes 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 chlorophyI, 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.

cOrding to the Shanghai Times, is
highly offended with the wife and
daughters of Yu Keng, late Chinese
minister at Paris, and has issued or
ders that they are not to enter the
palace again. The cause of their
sudden downfall is said to be that
they instigated the young American
lady artist who painted the empress
dowager's portrait to demand a sum
of 100000 taels for her work. The
empress dowager at the advice of
some of the officials had previously
presented the artist the sum of 10000
taelS and some presents.

NAVAL LESSONS OF THE WAR.
Little of Value Disclosed Through
Comhats on Sea.


The war in the far east has, luckily
enough, been barren in results that
might turn sea methods and material
into vague and uncharted channel
ways. 1t has, for example, taught
nothing new in naval policy nor has it
revealed any truths that experts have
not insisted upon for many years.
This, however, does not mean that
the conflict is valueless either as an
object lesson or as guide to the high
er development of fleets, for, indeed
in this sense it has been most fruitful
Never perhaps, has the necessity
of initial preparedness and Of COM
mand Of the sea been so quickly and
tncontestably established. Further
more, in the latest engagements the
dominance Of the battleship as the
vehicle and the supremacy of the gun
as the instrument have been equally
reasserted, notably when the latter is
associated in just relation with ar
NOR protection and good speed. But
these, let us remember, are old stand
ards Of naval thought, and the Japa-
nese have earned their place among
the sea powers, not because they have
given us anything new, but because of
the manner in which they have proved
in stern practice the validity of these
accepted theories.-New York Herald.

GETS FORECAST BY PHONE
Farmers to Receive Daily Hints OF
the Weather by Wire.

Farmers and business men in west
ern Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
eastern Ohio will receive the weather
forecast by telephone hereafter. Fore
caster Frank Ridgway of the Pitts
burg Office has. with the consent of
the Washington bureau, arranged with
the two local telephone companies to
send out the forecast over their lines
to anyone who desires it.
Bells will ring simultaneously in
the morning in hundreds of little
towns and villages and through the
farming districts and the sweet voice
of the telephone girl will be heard
with the current forecast.
The experiment is being watched
from Washington and if it proves
popular and successful it will be intro
duced all over the country. The idea
emanated from the brain of Forecas-
ter RidgwaE, who secured the consent
Of Prof Willis L. Moore for the trial.

RICH MAN LITTLE KNOWN.
Wealthy Citizen Of Philadelphia Has
Just Passed AWAY.

There are some very rich men
whose names never become familiar
to the public, and one of them was
William Weightman, who died at Phil
adelphia last week in his 91st year.
He was native of England and went
to Philadelphia when 16 years old to
enter the chemical manufacturing
business started there by relative.
Eventually this establishment, under
the name Of Powers & Weightman,
became the largest manufacturer of
chemicals in the world 1t is said that
for fifteen years prior to the death Of
Mr., Powers each partner took 100000
a year out of the business. Mr..
Weightman invested most of his
money in Philadelphia real estate
and became the largest taxpayer in
Pennsylvania.
