while at the same time they memorial

Much trouble has been experienced
with lightning on the power transmits
sion lines, carried on steel towers, in
the statesof Michoacan and Guanajuato,
Mexico, but recently the difficulty has
been largely overcome by the use of
lightning rods and the device of sus-
pending a steel cable above the trans
mission lines, the cable being brought to
earth at each tower. Before these
means Of diverting the lightning were
employed, the insulators were often
bored with holes an inch in diameter
by bolts of lightning. The shielding
cable is regarded as affording much
more protection than the lightning rods
In Poleozoic times, then, writes Prof.
Lowell in the Century, it was with the
earth itself, not the sun, to which plant
and animal primarily stood beholden
for existence. This gives us most in
structlve glimpse into one planetologic
process. To the planets own internal
heat is due the chief fostering Of the
beginnings of life upon its surface.
Thus planet is capable of at least be-
ginning to develop organisms without
more than modlcum of help from the
central sun. We talk Of the sun as the
source Of life; and so 1t Is to-day In
the sense OF being It's sustainer but the
real source wes the earth itself. which

singular fact is that the. fossil specl-

Truth Better than friction.

In spite of the panic and business de-
preston the Republican leaders cannot
seem to throw off their habit of boast
ing that prosperity follows their foot
steps. 1t Is apparent that the finances
of the government are in bad shape,
that the revenue is falling greatly be-
hind the expenditures so that it has
been found necessary to call upon the
Wall street national banks to return
$50 100000 OF the $3.50, 000,0 900 loaned to
them without interest, and that bonds
were lately issued to further help the
banks, all of which are hardly matters
to boast of. But Congressman Boutell
of Illinois has discovered that the Unit
ed States Treasury is bursting with
riches having over billion of gold in
its vaults, and he boasts of it 80 as to
thereby try and boost the tagging spir-
its of his Republican brethren. But
unfortunately for the taxpayers this
enormous amount of gold belongs to
those who deposited 1t In the treasury
and gold certificates have been issued
against it. Nearly all that vast amount
of gold Is owned by the banks, who
hold the certificates or yellow backs"
but few OF which are in the hands of
the people. The ordinary business of
the people is done with silver certif-
Gates and national bank currency and
but little gold is in circulation.
There is $150.000,000 of gold held by
the government, in what is called the
gold reserve fund, to provide for the
redemption in gold Of the greenbacks
and treasury notes and to keep the
silver certificates at par with gold.
So the boosted riches of the govern
Inent dwindle down to nothing, for the
gold reserve cannot be touched to pay
the expenditures Of the government.
What is the use to try and deceive the
people by boasting of riches they do
not possess? The voters of the United
States are too intelligent to be fooled
by such boasting, and even IL they were
not, they are entitled to know the facts
and not be fed on fiction about their
public financial affairs.
