HOW LEGISLATORS MAY SAVE
TINE.

Governor Gooding has decided
against the calling OF special ses-
sion to consider the adoption OF the
code and that work Is to be added to
the duties the regular session. This
means additional need for the con-
Deryation Of energy an the part OF
the legislators. To the work of the
average session there is now added
the election of a United States SEN
at0r and the consideration of the
code report. Experience has demon
otrated the fact that the duties OF
m ordinary session can hardly be
comprised within the SO day limit
prescribed by the constitution, hence
then. the need for some special care
In planning the work for the Tenth
session.
A timely suggestion in view OF
these facts is that the action OF the
state convention paved the way for
the legislators to save time in the
recommendations and suggestions
passed then and later made a part Of
the party platform. Carrying out
party pledges to the letter and spir-

THE ENRTH's MAGNETISM.
The Source Of Power That Has Re
 maincd Pcrsstcntly Mysterious

That the earth is great magnet we all know and it was long ago suggest ed that il is an olectromagnet-that its magnetism is due to electric curre1ts .cncircling it from east to west But what causes these currents? It has seemed likely Co many students of the subject that they are in some way con- nected with the earth's rotation that
 the earth is like the armature of q great dynamo in the suns magnetic field This view seems essentially that
 of Dr F. A, Black, who contributes an article on "Thc Earth as a Magnet" to Harper's Magazine, Says this writer:
 "Tho advances in electrical science. in its relation to nature, have of late years brought many to believe that the sun is our great storehouse of electrlc- ty; that the ether of surrounding space is electric in character and that electricity itself may even be atomic in structure.
 Thus the sun in pouring out light and heat is believed to he also pouring out electricity, or electric energy, to all surrounding space Whether In the form of waves of the surrounding ether or of physical particles, this electrical stream flows on to the earth on the side of the globe which Is exposed 10
 the sun. AS the earth in It's daily motion rOtatcs eastward, causing the sun apparently to pass around the earth daily in westward direction this stream or flow of electricity is caused to wind constantly around the earth in a westward direction, a coil
 so to speak being completed in each daily rotation Thus tho magnotizatlon of the earth very probably results in a manner exactly analogous tO that om- ployed when a needle is magnctl2cd by an electric current through a right handed spiral coil.
 "There would seem to be reason for believing at least tentatively, OD that the earth in its physical structure con- sists to such an extent of magncti2ablc material that it Is capable, as a whole, of being converted into d magnet; @ that an electrical stream or current, Is received by tho earth on tho side cx- posed to the sum- which, through the earth's rotation, Is coilod around the earth from east to west causing the earth to become an clectromagnct: (D that tho conversion of the earth into an oloctromaguot in this manner is the cause of tho directive tendency of the magnetic needle, both in dccllnatlon and dip; while the dversitIos and be- culiarities connected with the method of magneti2ation are tho cause of the constant rhanos and anomalies i'm tho movements of the needle, and 0) that the method of magnctizaton, and tho character of tbo exposure of the earth to the sun and the Irregularities of the earth itself in both form and compost tion. are the causes which decide the position of the terrestrial magnetic poles and equator, and the changes which occur in relation thereto"

extent that brought relief durng the course of to-day's dealings and opened the way for a considerable recovery. The cessation of the pressure on U. $. steel and on some other prominent stocks was of more influence in bring ing this about than the more sen satIonal advances in a group of spc- cialties.
