GENERATES
ELECTRICITY
FROM LIVING
HUMAN beings

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. pr. ]. G. Sic
bel, physician of this city, announc-
ed today before the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Sci
ence that he has discovered method
of generating energy within the hui
man body. He asserted that the cleo
tricity stored in human body can
be released and made to do work.
This work, he said, is prolangation
of life through additional vitality
supplied to the human body by work
ing as its own electrical generator.
DIR. Siebel announced that nutri-
tive elements such as alcohol, sugar
and fats, during their consumption
by the human body, act as generators
Of electricity in miniature batteries
that comprise the muscular structure
of the human frame. He declared
that he has succeeded in the con.
struction of batteries on a working
scale, In which the nutritive element
necessary to form connection be
tween the batteries and the system
have been created.

A New York clergyman, who often
spends his vacation in fishing the
streams Of the Adirondacks, was on
one trip adopted by handsome setter
dog, which insisted on following him
from camp to camp as he moved along
the stream.
One day he met party Of men work
Ing upstream with native guide. The
guide Immediately recognized the dog

Trying to steal my setter, are your

have you to jail for this! There's a
law in the woods just as big as you
have in the city,
The clergyman endeavored to ex-
plain that he was an unwilling COM
panion Of the dog. which had refused
to be driven away, but to little effect
until he added a two dollar bill to his
arguments.
"It's queer what strange things hap
pen to man up here" he said to the
stage driver who later carried him
away from the woods. 'That is the

they surely will do so in the near
future. Natural gas has been found
and is now running a 175-horse pow
er engine at Pierre, s. D. 1t will be
found in many other places amongst
the coal deposits of both Dakotas. Bor-
ing for Oil has begun at several points
by experts from Nebraska. It is be-
lieved that natural gas may be struck
from 1,o00 to $500 feet all along the
Missouri valley north as far as Bis
marck and Washington and also up
in the Mouse river country.

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
REPUBLICATION, DELEGATES


Delegates to the national republic
an convention in Chicago are not Sc
lected under the primary system in
North Dakota. They will be chosen
by state convention called by the
republican state central committee un-
der the same regulations as political
conventions have been held in this
state. The committee will doubtless
be called together by Chairman Han
ma soon to designate the date Of the
convention and make the apportion-
ment. So far there seems to have
been no applicants for the honor of
representing the party sentiment of
this state at the forthcoming national
convention. These positions are pure
~ honorary. Delegates should be
chosen solely for the purpose of rep
resenting the sentiment of the re-
pdhlicans OF this state and happily the
conditions are such in respect to the
national issues that there is no fac
tionalism in the party and state and
local issues will be entirely ignored
in selecting delegates both to the state
and the national convention.
Were Theodore Roosevelt a candi-
date for denomination he would re-
ceive the most enthusiastic support
Of the republicans of North Dakota
and If under any circumstances he
can be induced to accept the non.dna.
ton, the votes Of the delegation from
this state will be given to him. His
candidacy aside the republicans OF
this state will favor the candidate
whom they are certain WIN most faith.
fully carry out what are known as the
Roosevelt policies. That Secretary
taft is the best equipped and most
available man seems to be generally
acknowledged and believed by the re.
publicans of the northwest at the
present time, but others may be con
sidered equally available when the
time comes for action
Remembering that there will be a
common enemy to fight in this state
this fall and that the June primaries
do not by any means settle the con
troversy, it will be well for all repub
licans, stalwarts and insurgents te
hesitate moment and survey the
conditions and anticipate the conse
quences of their preliminary acts. Il
would seem to be wise to do those
things that will tend to harmony in
the first meeting of the republicans
of the state this year-the conven
ton to elect eight delegates to the
Chicago convention. These mer
should be representative republicans
non-ofice holding and non-office seek
+ ing. No member of our present Wash
ington delegation, no candidate TO-
such position, no federal official ant
no candidate for state Office shoult
be chosen on this delegation. Not tina
these gentlemen are not representa-
tive republicans, but simply that I'm
der the existing party tension in thi
state it will be best to eliminate a
much strife as possible in dealing witt
the national administration and tn
selection Of delegates to the nationa

Rain Poor Substitute for Irrigation

And irrigation is better than rain,
infinitely better. That also sounds
like a paradox, but instead 1t is almost
a truism. What is better-to give a
plant Just as much and no more water
than 1t needs and just when 1t needs
It; or to parch 1t or drown 1t accord
ing to the within of the clouds? The
rain falls upon the just and upon the
unjust alike; upon your strawberries
that cry for 1t and upon your sugar
beets that want uninterrupted sun
shine. Rain is all right in Its place,
but 1t is a very poor substitute for ir-
rigatlon. Otherwise why would the
lawns Of our cities be sprlnkled or irri-
gated. instead Of leaving them to the
tender mercy OF the clouds2 No. Arid
lands are more fertile than ordinary
lands, and irrigation is better than

An old gentleman In one Of the large
Eastern cities was asked to buy ticket
to freman's ball, and good naturedly
complied. The next question was What
to do with 1t. He had two servants
either of whom would be glad to use 1t
but he did not wish to show favoritism
1t therefore occurred to him to buy
another ticket, so that both could at
tend. A writer in the st. Louis Re
public tells what happened.
Not knowing where the tickets were
sold, he inquired of a policeman, and
the officer suggested that he go to the
engine house. SO the old gentleman
went to the engine house that evening,
but there was no one in sight. He had
never been In such n place before, and
stood for a moment uncertain how %
make his presence known.
Presently he saw an electric button
on the side Of the room, and put his
thumb on It,
The effect was electrical in every
sense Of the word. Through the cell
ing, down the stairs, and from every
other direction flremen came running
and sliding. The horses rushed out Of
their stalls, and, in short, all the ma
chInery of a modern engine house YVES
instantly in motion.
Amid all this uproar stood the limo
cent old gentleman, who did no. SUI
pect that he had touched the fire alarm
until the men clamored round him for
information as to the locality of the
fire.
Then he said, mildly, 81 should like
to buy another ticket for the ball, If
you please"
The situation was so ludicrous that
there was a general shout Of laughter
and the old gentleman bought his ticket
and the engine house resumed its for
mer state OF quiet.
