rom the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the san Francisco Chronicle.
Prof Meyer e. jana of Berkeley launched
conspiracy against the peace and COM
fort of the barnyard fowl during the ses-
sion of the Farmers Institute yesterday.
Prof Jaffa told the farmers OF a successful
experiment that was designed to solve the
problem of fattening poultry for the mar
ket. The experiment, as he pictured it,
had been tried with remarkable results at
Petaluma.
'sAu that you require" explained The pro-
fessor. "s an electric light in your hem
house. Three hours after the fowls have
been well fed and have gone to roost for
the night You turn on the electric light.
The unreasoning birds jump to the conclu-
sion that the sun has risen. and they fy
down from their perches with intense APP
petites and eat another hearty. meal OF
corn. Then you torn out the light. Three
hours later you turn on the light again.
and once more they cram their crops with
food. In this manner chickens can be fat
tened for the market on short notice and
at comparatively small expense"
Now all the farmers who are attending
the Farmers Institute are planning to have
tIttir chicken houses equipped with eiec-
trio lights to deceive the simple mind OF the

Is there any ground for the fear that men,

These are some of the speculations which

But growing up does not only concern

is, vibration from the myriads of cross
ing and interlacing telephone and telegraph
wires communicating with that in US which
we call life and that some call electricity.
There is reason in our 'fondness for New
York, and we know 1t. We leave the city
on typicaliy humid summer day, and
when we arrive at the Broad street station
in Philadelphia or in Washington, the home
OF Presidents and good cooking. we find
ourselves sweltering in oven, fairly
gasping for air. and we yearn- for the clam

We go TO Pittsburg, when We must, and
we know how Mary's little lamb must have
looked and felt after its memorable visit.
The SCOT hangs in our hair and in our nos
triis, and we wander helplessly through the
smoky streets fancying that we are seeing
strange things, cab lights on the sidewalk
for instance, when they are merely the
shirt studs of the sporting population.
We leave the 42d street station for BoS-

buying and selling on Sunday and Haunting
beer gardens and rowdy music halls. Is it
any wonder that, getting home. we take OF
our hats to Liberty in her mantle of bronze
mold and feel blessed that we are of New
York. even though the italian fruit vender
pushes his dray over us and the Yanktown
conductor orders us to step lively and move
UP in front?
But Philadelphia people feel like that,
too-even more so, In fact They write
scathing articles IN the publications devoted
to tattling and table manners in regard tn
the overcharges in our restaurants and the
large tips our walters expeet--but do not
get-from visiting Philadelphians.
They not only have their Independence
Bell TO show, as we have our Aquarium,
but they have something they call blood

our lack of both and our noise much as we
deride their quiet.

There is nothing like 1t under the sun or

for New York. No born New Yorker ever
goes to any city in the world and allows
any reflection on his native town, even
though he may be quite aware of its faults.
