farmer as fertilizer In Norway a
plant has been established which has
been conducted with such good results
that expect to see atmospheric fer
tilizer on the market in this country
within the next ten years. That such
a product will soon be imperatively
necessary there is no doubt. Every
shipload of wheat and corn which goes
abroad leaves the United States so

Mr.. Edison continued: Another
scientific discovery which expect to
see before die is the direct genera
ton of electricity from coal. This
has already been achieved in an ex-
perimental way. l have heard of sew
eral men who have done it. Imagine
what will be the consequences. At the
present time nine-tenths of the power
obtained from coal is lost by the use
of boilers, wheels and dynamos. With
the direct generation of the electrical
current, therefore, the world will have
ten times more energy than now

CITY FILLED WITH TROOPS

patton Of Serious Trouble When Par
lament Is Dissolved.
st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE rec
ommendation of the parliamentary
committee which has been examining
the indictment against the Social DEM
ocratlc members that it be given an
other day to report, as it was impos-
sible to review all the evidence in one
day, was accepted by the house against
the energetic opposition of the right
and parliament adjourned.
NJ. Texeretoli, Social Democrat,
again attempted to bring on a discus,
sion of the grarian law and the law
abolishing the death penalty, propos-
ing an evening session in order to dis
cuss these important measures of
state,' but this also was rejected.
With the exception Of the official
Rossia and Novoe Vremya the news
papers unanimously criticise the gov
ernment's action and see in the de-
mand for the suspension of the Social
Democratic members only a pretext
ton of parliament.
The city has again assumed the ap-
pearance of an armed camp. The
guard regimen have left their sum-
mer camp at Krasnoye-Selo for ST..
Petersburg and throughout the night
attachments of infantry and cavalry
have been arriving here. The garri-
son Of St. Petersburg is now

ments Of the line when the former
went into camp Long lines Of trans
port wagons, with camp equipages,
ETC., trundled through the main streets
all morning, intersrersed with occa-
sional attachments of cavalry and in
fantry marching to their quarters.
Otherwise the center of the city bore
its usual appearance, but the indus
trial sections literally bristled with
troops. Every railroad station is oc-
cupied by two companies of infantry
and two squadrons of cavalry and ar
mored military trains are held in
readiness in view of the possibility Of
the outbreak of a railroad strike and
the reserves of all the regiments are
confined to barracks. All the railroad
stations are watched by secret police
in order to prevent the escape of the
Social Democratic deputies and revo-
lutionary agitators, among whom a
general exodus is expected when par
lament is dissolved.
In spite of these alarming prepare
lions, however, there is slight expecta-
tion among the reasonable elements
Of the population that serious disor-
ders will follow the dissolution of par
lament Strikes in the factories and
perhaps minor collisions in the streets
are anticipated, but the numbers Of
the troops are too great to permit Of
an armed outbreak.

were burned to death and two men
seriously injured in a fire that de-
stroyed the four principal houses of
the Shaker settlement at Whitewater
village, near Harrison, O.

fighting fire being inadequate there
was no hope from the start of saving
the structures Mrs. Kuele Bear, Kath-
crime Sterr and Mary Midd1etown, the
three aged women who occupied quar-
tiers in the main building, were burned
to death before any one could arouse
them. Charles Sterr and Andrew
Bass, in making their escape from the
burning buildings, were seriously in
jured. Sterr was injured in an en-
deavor to reach the safe in the Office
of the main building, but being cut off
by flames and smoke he was compelled
to jump from a window to save him
self. The loss is estimated at $4,000,
partly covered by insurance.
