Electricity by Direct Process.

Mr.. Edison looks confidently into
the near future and sees the time
when coal will no longer be hauled
over the earth to be used in the gen.
Grafton of power. The secret OF cleo.
tricity by direct process may at any
moment be discovered b. some of the
300,000 scientists in all parts of the
world who are investigating electrical
phenomena. The power houses will
be built at the mouths os mines. and
instead of coal being transported to
places where power is needed power
will be created where coal is found
and conveyed wherever it is required.
however, distant, by wire. Power
generated by falling water viii be
transmitted to the points where it is
to be applied in the same way as that
generated by the combustion of coal.
All this will involve an immense saw
ing. 1T will cost a third less to send
power by wire than it does to trans
port coal by rail.
Like all great scientists the wizard
of Menlo park" is a dreamer Many
of his dreams come true. In view of
the remarkable developments in the
application of electricity within the
last quarter century it does not seem
improbable that his latest dream will
be frozen in fact
The gigantic Improvement he pre-.
diets would more or less directly
affect every industry and Individual.
Railroads would be at once hurt and
helped. The loss of their present
large receipts Tor the transportation
Of coal would make big hole in
their revenues, but they could par
TALLY or wholly offset the loss by cleo
trifying their lines and thus reducing
the cost Of their power While the
effects upon the transportation bust
ness would be mixed the results so
far as other industries were concerned
would be wholly advantageous. A
reduction of one-third in the cost OF
power would enable manufacturers to
make their goods more cneaply. Di.
unfinished cost Of production would
mean higher profits for the capitalist.

higher wages for the workers, or low
er prices for consumers. Probably it
would mean all three, the benefits be-
ing divided between the classes. The
aggregate gain TO society as whole
would be something enormous.
II is to be hoped that when the Sc
cret of electricity by direct process
is revealed the discovery will be made
by an American. This would add &
great achievement TO the already long
list of the triumphs Of American
genius in the field of applied science
and would give American manufac,
lures an immense advantage over
their foreign competitors. Getting
their power a third cheaper than theit
rivals they could easily hold the
home market against them and at
the same time drive them out of the
markets of the world. 1t could no;
then be pretended that either pro
festive tariffs or any other forms OF
government aid were necessary to
promote the development of American
industry.
Mr.. Edison holds out a pleasing
prospect. He, and other American
scientists should make haste to turn
1t into pleasing reality.

RESCUE By WIRELESS.

The rescue of the crew of the Nan
tucket shoals lightship shortly before
the ship went down is the first of the
triumphs of wireless telegraphy in
time of peace. The utility of the
wireless system in time of war has
been fully demonstrated, but in peace
it has been little more than a toy.
Messages have been sent to and from
the Atlantic liners, arranging business
affairs or conveying gossip or the
sensation of the day. but there have
probably been few messages sent
thus which might not have awaited
arrival in port. In one case a promi.
nent man was interviewed at sea, but
oweing to delay in transmission after
the message reached the wires there
was no great gain in time.
But when relief lightship No. IS
sprung a leak the lives of the crew
depended upon the use of the wireless
system TO summon relief. When the
the call came through the air, telling
of their need, it was a dramatic
moment already foreshadowed in fic,
ton. 1t was more than dramatic. II
marked an epoch in navigation, for il
proved the possibility of removing one
of the terrors of the sea. Ships have
been wrecked or harmed with loss OF
life when help was. with in reach if il
only could have been summoned This
need not be the case any longer. Tc
be ont of sight of everything but the
sea and the sky and yet to be in con
slant communication with the land
and with other ships is condition
hard for old sailors to grasp, but first
competition and afterwards perhaps
the law will require ship owners tt
equip their vessels with the wireless
apparatus. A ship in danger has al
opportunity to make its peril known
when otherwise there might be only
another mystery Of the sea.
Wireless telegraphy in rescue worl
has found a powerful ally, if presen
hopes are fulfilled. The same weel
that saw the rescue of the crew of re
lief llghtshlp No. So by help sen
more than forty miles saw also tn,
first passage of the ocean by turbine
liner. If this system of propulsion
prove to be al that is claimed 70 bt
a great Increase of speed of steam
ships will soon be possible. A vesse
in distress not only will be able to tel
its need but viii find the radius of the
circle within which help must be
procured enlarged in proportion tc
the increased speed of the rescuing
steamship. Chances of danger will
diminish with the diminution of the
time required TO cross the ocean
Combining all these factors, the re-
suit is progress of safeguarding the
lives of those who travel by sea,
which makes the year a memorable
one.

New Ltse for Rutternuts.

! One of the most troublesome plants
in the pastures of eastern New York
and western Vermont and Connecticut
is the shrubby cinquefoil, or Goshen
bareback (POtentilla fruticosa). The
plant is said to have been brought to
Goshen, CT, from New York state,
and it's dissemination is sometimes
ascribed to artificial means. Whether
this be true OF not matter little, for
the natural methods of seed dissemina
ton are OF much greater importance.
| Its spread has been STEADY through
quite an extent OF territory, and there.
must be some general method by
which this is brought about, says n
correspondent of the Country Gentle

method is by the seed being blown

the snow. The area infested increases
gradually within a limited distance OF
old infested fields, but there are sseI.

Facts for Our Farmers.

they fertilize the vine at all they do
ut with stable manure only. This is
iextreme fertilization by error. And vet
a vine which has long, struggling roots
and a tangle of growth, with meager
fruitage of inferior grapes, may be
renewed by digging it up, cutting off
| the big roots within a foot of the stem,
at the same time cutting the stem off

a rich bed of earth, the filling-in
material being mixed with stable
manure. Such vine, thus treated,

might be wonderfully renewed by such
heroic treatment. 1t is about the only
kind of treatment that will effectually

And yet reliance must mot be placer

give vigor to an old decrepit vine if
