in the field Of science perhaps there Is a
tendency to become somewhat circum-
scribed.
THE other result is to give more exact
knowledge, a clearer definition. Many scien-
lists well known in their chosen branches
seem unable to write clear, forcible and
intelligent paper that will do justice to
themselves or their conceptions. They need
the discipline that comes from conflict with
other minds. Then 1t is through compare
tive studies that we come to the best and
clearest definitions. and 1t seems to me

WONDERFUL DEVELOPMENT

The Brooklyn Times OF recent date
furnishes short sketch Of the young
life Of wonderful Industrial infant
that first saw tho light OF the day in
this city.
The Times Says:
Only nineteen years have passed
since the old carry all vas rclcsatcd
to the scrap heap and the first clectri-
cal street car was pronounced u sue
cess at Richmond, Va. but In that
brief period the development OF street
car systems in this State has been rapid
and most wonderful.
The credit for building and operat-
ing the first street railway system In
the world belongs to FranltiJ. SpraEuc.
whose patents are now held by the
General Electric Com pnny, although ~
number Of unsuccessful experiments
In this line had been conducted before
tho year or 1855.
The electric motor was discovered by
Thomas Davenport in 1894, and four
years later Robert Davidson. OF Scot
land, produced an electric locomotive
which moved NJ the astonishing speed
Of four miles per hour. Nine years
later, Prof. Moses c. Farmer of Salem.
Mass. produced n locomotive capable
of carrying two passengers. In 1876

Edison constructed an electrical loco

commercial use, and he was too busy
experimenting with the electric light
| to give the locomo tive much careful
study. The summer of 1887 a party or
investors tried out an electric car In

SEEDING GLOVE. R
IN THE IL SPRING.
The Advantage Of EARLY Seeding.
on the Growing Wheat
Crop.
VALUABLE RENOVAT0R

AS clover seed is sometimes soWn
when the ground is covered with snow,
it is time that farmers give tho sub
ject Of clover some consideration. A
poor clover field is better than none,
for should the crop not reach stage
at which cutting would be profitable.
1T will at least assist III providing
green food for the stock, or may be-
given to the pigs, Some farmers con-
slider a crop Of clover inexpensive, outs
side of the cost of seed, and for that
reason the wheat field is always seeded
to clover early in the spring. 1t is
more profitable to have the ground
covered with clover after the wheat
Is harvested than to leave it to pro-
Sducc weeds. Glover is a biennial
that is, It does not produce Its seed
until the second year; hence when the
young plants occupy the ground the
first season along with the wheat and
then into the fall and winter, it is con-
sidered u saving Of time and space.
When the clover Is seeded in early 1t
will usually start carly, under favor
able conditions, and make sufficient
progress to endure tho dry weather Of
summer. A good Catch will usually
prove a good start, for when the field
is covered uniformly tho crop will
nearly always prove q paying one,
While 1t Is customary to SOW the seed
on young wheat land without any
preparation whatever, yet the success
