the man TO unite all wings of the
Democratic party, as John Sharp
Williams has said. It may mean
that Mr.. Bryan has grown further
even than men thought. it may
mean that time has put him in ac-
cord with his feIlOw-Democrats of
New York, whether he has kept
atune to those of Nevada Or not;
with his fellows of Illinois, whether
he has lost ground In Idaho or not.
But if these things have come to
pass, there must be an outspoken
statement of them. The Democrats
are poor ralliers at best. If Mr..
Bryan would have them gather
about him he must wave a banner

pertinent, the discovery" of the
chest transmission goes back to
1s7s-back TO the year when the
Bell people were forming their first
national organization.
The telephone that Bell invented
was virtually the receiver of today.
In fact, the receiver may be used in
emergencies for talking through as
well as hearing through. Scientific
cally the first telephone was quite
perfect. Lord Kelvin so described it
when he saw it at the Centennial.
But with the growth of this most
popular Of the modern utilities de-
veloped, naturally enough, the need
of greater transmitting power.
Hence the invention of a special
form of transmitter, leaving the
original telephone to be hung upon
the hook and used as a receiver.
Necessarily the transmitter is a
very sensitive instrument. 1t must
be so TO receive and convey the soft
tones and delicate modulations Of
the well cultivated human voice
And this constituencies explains why
it viii be found receptive and use
full even when held against the
chest or against the top of a derby
or deer, even. These things-and
more, 10 less interesting and amaz-
ing-have been demonstrated by
laboratory experi-n ents. conducted,
many of them, in this city.

Successful Combat of
Insects and Diseases
Infesting Farms.

In spite OF the fact that many OF
the crops this year are not as plenti-
fHl. as they have been In times gone
by. the farmer Will have more money
TO spend and invest this year than
ever before, according to the report Of
the Secretary OF Agriculture, which
was submitted 10 the President today.
The report says that In many instances
crops have fallen short Of the records
Of former years. The wheat crop, for
instance. IS 625.56 $1,000 bushels or 3 per
cent less than tho harvest Of last year;
the tobacco crop IS III per cent below
the average, and bucl1wheat is trifle
more than 4 per. cent below the aver
age quantity produced.
The high prices prevailing for those
commodities and many others hold
their value much higher than it mas
ever been before. Wheat IS Oh per cent
higher IN actual value than It has been
since 1901. tobacco IS s per cent above
the average, and bucl1wheat has risen
to IA per cent above the average for
the last five years.
There have been no failures in tho
crops this year, in fact they have been
OF OF remarkably 5000 Qualily' At one
time a general failure east OF the
Rocky mountains was feared, but this
proved to be q myth
Corn Most Valuable.
OF all of the crops produced this year,
corn has proved the most valuable. The
report eloquently declares that the value
of the corn crop alone would pay for
the duplicating Of every line of railroad
in this country. including rolling stock,
round houses, and other appurtenances.
The cotton crop is third in value this
year, and is valued at between $3.50, 900, 900
and sou, 0O0, 900.
The tobacco crop is the smallest in
years; but owing 10 the increased price
of this comomdity. its value is higher
than II has been for some time.
The total value OF the country's crops
is put at y7,42 100000.
The Agricultural Departments work
In the inspection OF meat has been
greatly increased in the last year A
working force OF $3.50 inspectors were at
work during 1907, as compared 10 81 the
year before or the 5G.OO0.OyC carcass .es3
Examined by the inspectors, about 10000
carcasses and 100000 parts of carcasses
were condemned as being unit for use.
Investigations into animal diseases dis
closed that much of the milk examined
In the creameries was tainted with tu-
berculin germs. Fully one-fourth Of the
milk inspected was found 10 contain an
injurious number of bacilli.
Prevention of Hog Cholera.
An efficient method Of preventing hog
cholera has been discovered. It con-.
sists of injecting the blood serum Of
porcine immune from cholera into other
and less fortunate Of his brethren. This
method was found to protect hog from
the attacks of cholera for q period Of
about three weeks. By adding with the
serum, serum taken from n diseased
hog, the animal treated, &c was diScov-
cred. would withstand the attacks of the
disease for as long a period as three
months.
