with the experimental study Of light

SCIENCE IS BOTHERED
IN DODGING LIGHTNING

We are apt to believe greatly in the
progress. made in electrical research,
and to joy in our ability to handle the
strange forces of nature-until "thun-
der Storm wrecks a house with a bolt
whose 'spark gap' is thousand feet,
and the voltage Of which is estimated
at 100,00O,000. The lightning rod, to
all intents and purposes, is today the
identical instrument invented by Frank
lin. The Electrical World publishes the
following on the subject:
"We have rather come to the opin-
ion that the chief trouble with the
lightning arrester question is still lack
of knowledge regarding the thing which
| is to be arrested. We all assume, and
probably correctly, that lightning being
| in the nature of a condensed discharge,
is essentially oscillatory in it's nature.
The virtual capacity involved and hence
the frequency is an unknown quantity
like the potential concerned in the
discharge. It is certain that lightning
flashes sweep over very great distances
ranging from few hundred feet up tc
several thousand, but the voltage from
which these prodigious striking dis
stances result cannot yet be evaluated
Present DEVICES for the protection
of apparatus and lines against lightning
are based on the conception of Lightning
as rapidly oscillatory discharge. L
is possible, however, that some light
ming at least may have pretty SLOW
period, or may be damped into virtually

WORK OF SIX-INCH STREAM
Remarkable Work, Under Favorable

Remarkable Work, Under Favorable
Conditions, in a California Plant:
Hamilton Wright in the World Today:
Imagine a perpendicular column OF
water more than one-third Of mile
high, twentysix inches in diameter at
the TOP and twenty-four inches in dia-
meter at the bottom. Those remarkable
conditions are complied with, as far as
power goes, in the Mill Creek plant,
which operates under a head Of 1860
feet. This little column of water,
which, if liberated, would be just about
enough to mako small trout stream,
gives a capacity of 5000 horsepower,
or enough power to run good-slzed
ocean going vessel. AS the water
strikes the buckets Of the water wheel
it has pressure Of $50 pounds to the
plies is evidenced by the fact that the
average locomotive carries steam at a
pressure Of 1919 or 200 pounds to the
square inch. With this stream, as it
issues from the nozzle, turned upon a
hillside, the earth would fade away be-
fore it like snow before a Jet Of steam
Huge boulders, big as city offices
would tumble into ravines with as little
effort as a clover burr is carried be

A JAPANESE GIRL

From far Japan came little Miss Yo-
shida to East Gloucester. This small
young person Of 16 is in America with
her brother, Hiroshi Yoshida, to study
art in the "western way"
With the greatest pride she dresses
in the most American clothes' she
can find and delights III a collection of
shirtwaists that any college girl might
envy. She is also devoted to hats and
has them Of all shapes and sizes, but
her most favored one is a straw turban

sentiment, ~ her own name, Fugi
means wisteria. ~r=@ z
Her afternoon clothes, when she is

Her beautiful black hair is combet
smoothly away from the face into
natural pompadour and fastened at tn
I back by bow Of black satin ribbon
which is no darker or SINNER than tn
hair itself.
One Of the annoyances Of American
life to her is that she has to arrange

The Cautious Lover.

N EAR maid. I am thinking of making
An oner-in short. to propose
But before such a risk I am taking
A view Of the cons and the pros.
It's a difficult point to decide on.
The balance is quickly upset.
And my purpose can scarce be relied on
Don't think I am Offering yet.
I have to consider all issues
And contrary sides of the case:
Cnravel the thread to its tissues
And follow its ultimate trace:
To study the why and the wherefore
Oh seeking a change in my lot.
And, when I am wed, shall I care for
The prize or the blank I have got.
TITS a lottery. dear. that Is certain.
Don't toss up your LGDt little pate.
There surely is nothing to hurt in
Discussion before it's too late.
It's better to marry at leisure
Than hastily fasten the moose;
lis prudence that dallies with pleasure.
But folly that grasps 1t and rues.
I own there's a sweetness In wooing.
As pleasant a sport a. can be,
But when things are done past undoing
fear / may pine to be free.
When bachelors fall into matches
They try to look hearty and hale.
But soon they have battened their matches
And cried for a port in a gale.
VIII you promise to love and obey me
Especially, darling, the fast;
Defer to and never gainsay me,
But cherish me fondly and fast?
Will you give me the uttermost tether
OF DAYS when / did as l chose?
Then perhaps in some glimpse of fine
weather
1 may screw up my mind and propose.

sneaker Cannon.s Anxiety.

For so good q Stand-pateer, Speaker
Cannon is betraying a good lea OF
rastIessness. Instead of standing pat,
he is reported to be walking the o
o. nights. This mounting deficit Will
not let him sleep. Where to n a de-
termined cheese-parer for chairman or
tbe Committee on Appropriations is a
worrying question that drives him 10
midnights yigils. But all this, with
due respect to Mr.. Cannon, is only TO
tithe mint and cumin. The welghtler
matters he neglectS. Every really IN
t~elligent watchdog of the treasury
knows that it is the larger pollcy
which causes the smaller drains to ac-
emulate so remorselessly. AS the
Chancellor of the Exchequer often ex-
Mains to the grumbling English a X
Dayer, it is policy that makes swollen
expenditure; and if you vote to sustain
the policy you have got to provide the
money to carry it out. The anxious
and troubled Speaker should CONSIDER
those things. Measures necessarily in
volving extravagant outlay cannot be
offset by driblets of saving. More

general trade situation at least as
carefully as President Hill. That gen
