USES ELECTRICITY
TO GRIND COFFEE.

The Gem City grocery has just in
stalled an electric motor to drive its
coffee mill, the first el%ectro-driven cot
fee mill in the city. This morning
"Scotty" Vass had an order for ten
pounds of coffee to be ground, and he
afterwards declared that so nicely was
the mill driven by the new motor that
the coffee was ground before it left
the can. "Scotty" is not Irish, and
not given to Irish bulls, either.

There is probably no medicine made
that is relied upon with more implicit
confidence than Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Dur.

has been in use, people have learned
that it is the one remedy that never
fails. When reduced with water and

sion of crops. For a number of
years there have been three plant
foods which have constituted plant
fertilizer They are nitrogen, phos-
phorit and potassic compounds. The
only natural source Of nitrogen is
in Chill, and is called Chilean ritro-
gen. These deposits are being eX-
hausted, the quantity exported is in
ereasing and the price per ton ad-
vancing every year.
in this country the by-produ ucts
of packing-hous and cottonseed
meal are used for their nitrogen
more than the Chilean product, but
all of the nitrogenous compounds,
wherever found, are restricted IN
production.
'For 100 years scientists have bee n
trying to obtain nitrogen from the
atmosphere, and during the past Is
years the situation has been such
that investigation has been re-
doubled. with the result that nj
trogenous substance suitable for
fertilizer has been developed. The
cost of production is considerably
less than the present price of other
nitrogenous compounds.

SChurZ Describes Gettysburg.

In the July number of McClure's S
Magazine, Gen. Carl Schurz tells of
''The Battle Of Gettysburg" and
with this instalment mis- Reminis-
cences reach a great climax. The
whole scene Of this most eventful
American battle was spread out be-
fore General Schurz in his positions
on the crest of Cemetery Ridge, he
saw the whole action and compre-
hended it with the sure knowledge
of an experienced officer, and his
description of it is so simple, so
graphically dramatic that the scene
is spread before the reader in a vast
panorama.
Schurz brings out clearly that
neither General Meade nor General
Lee desired or expected to fight a
battle at Gettysburg, but both were
drawn into it by an unexpected en-
counter of the Confederate general,
Heth, "who hoped to find some
shoes for his men at Gettysburg,
and a Federal cavalry general on
reconnaissance, both instructed not
to bring on a general engagement,
but rather cautioned against it. :"
From the very inception and the
first skirmish, through the whole
terrific engagement, Schurz leads
one step by step. He makes the
reader see the two armies gradually
marshaling for battle for which
neither was ready, and Lee" who
| had wished and planned for a de-
| fensive battle, obliged to fight an
aggressive one against the Union
army established in firm position. .
The tremendous heroism of Lee and
his army are finely brought out
1t is useless to try to tell in short
space this article in detail. Schurz
has done it so we'll that any one in
! terested will want to read the au
thor's words and it is safe to say
you will agree that you have never
read better description of a battle
! than this.

TO Develop Power From The Ocean.
Electrical NcMs.l

Is The cherished dream of scient.
lists to come true after long years?
A German electrician claims to have
invented a machine which utilizes
the power of the ocean waves so
that dynamos on shore can be made
to develop electricity enough to light
streets and buildings.
If this be true, he has solved the
problem Of future fuel supply, for
no longer would coal be required for
cooking, heating or power when
electricity could be had so cheaply.
All the power, light and heat the
world required would be at hand to
last as long as man. The economi-
cal saving Of such an invention would
be beyond comprehension and could
hardly be spoken in figures. Food
stulfs, clothing, transportation and
a thousand luxuries and convent
ences would be greatly reduced in
price. Electric lights would dis
place all other luminants. Electric
power would move the trans-conti-
mental trains and all vehicles, besides
turning the wheels of labor. The
cooking and heating of the home
would be done by electricity.
A few years ago this discovery, if
it be a discovery, would not have
meant so much to the world as it
does to-day, because the inventive
geniuses of the General Electric
Company had not then solved the
problem OF long distance power
Transmission. After this concern
introduced the first oil-cooled, high
power transformers long distance
transmission of high voltage was
made possible, and to-day current
generated on the sea coasts could be
carried to almost any part of the
country. Such transformers are
used in carrying the power from the
Kern river project to Los Angeles, a
distance Of 112 miles; from Niagara
Falls to Syracuse, and in a dozen
other places in this country, Canada
and Mexico.
