FARMERS UNION.

There has been inaugurated In
Tennessee an educational cam
paign for disseminating Farmers
Union information to the general
public. The campaign began in
Hardin County yesterday, and will
reach Benton County on Friday,
July 30.
e. Bunyan Carter of Dickson
was in the city Wednesday in the
interest of the Union. He says he
will follow up these rallies, and
predicts they will be the means of
infusing interest and enthusiasm
in the organization.
It is his urgent request that all
take notice and attend the rally on
the Both instant, for they will hear
and learn something of the condl-
tion of the Farmers Union and OF
the farmers of Tennessee.

The Statewide leaders met at
Nashville last Friday, and after
listening to a few remarks from
Judge Il. l.. Bullock of Jackson,
appointed committee of six to
draw up a plan of organization
throughout the State and report
back at l.30 p. m.
This committee was composed of
Judge Bullock, ex-oficio chair
man; Pryor Walker of Cleveland
and Samuel King of Bristol for
East Tennessee; l. L. Pendleton
of Nashville and .. X. Holiday
of Cookeville for Middle Tennes-
see: w. G. Mckinney of Browns
Vile and Fl. E. Graper OF Licking
ton for West Tennessee.
At130 the committee reporte q
the following plan, which was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, conditions in Tennessee
have made it necessary to perfect
an organization covering the State
for the purpose of maintaining and
enforcing the temperance and cleo
ton laws passed by the last General
Assembly; therefore, be it
Resolved, that meetings of Dem
ocrats who favor the maintenance
and enforcement of these laws be
held on the first Monday of Sep
TENDER, 1909, in the respective
county sites of the State to select
delegates to a general conference
to be held at the Vendome in Nash
lille on Tuesday, September Il, a
noon, to perfect State organize
ton for the maintenance and en-
forcement of said laws and to taxi
such other steps as may be deemed
necessary for success and unity o
action with respect thereto. Th'
basis of representation to said con
ference will be one delegate TO
each 100 votes cast for the nomine
for President in 1908, or fractio
of fifty or more votes or over, pre-
vided if any county should hav
cast less than fifty votes in sal
election such county shall be en-
titled to one vote.

the exception of thin cast-iron Innings
in the engine cylinders and the steel
cams necessary for operating the
valves, magnetic materials were ex-
cluded altogether.
While sails are to be relied upon
mainly. auxiliary power is necessary
for maneuvering in harbors or for use
in calms at sea. For this power 1t
was decided that steam would not do
because the boilers and engines would
be highly magnetic. 1t would not be
practicable to use gasoline or oil, be-
cause of the danger of carrying such
large quantities as would be needed
in exploring faraway waters. The DIFF
f1culty was solved by installing a spe-
cially constructed marine gas pro-
ducer, using coal. in connection with
bronze internal combustion engine.
The Carnegie institution Is not con-
fining it's magnetic survey work to the
seas. It has had several land eXpedi-
tions at work-two in Africa. one IN
Asia Minor and Persia and one In
China. 1t has also worked over part

Sprfnkled Her Costly Hat.

Miss Victoria Harrell. one Of the
most prominent society girls in this
city, and who is we'll known in mu-
steal circles in this city, Little Rock
and Memphis. recently sustained the
loss of $50 basket hat because the
piece of headgear so much resembled
a pot of flowers. Miss Harrell sang
at a fashionable wedding in this city
several nights ago and hurriedly re.
turned home to enjoy an auto ride
with friends. When she reached her
residence on w. 9th avenue, the party
was In waiting and Miss Harrell
placed her hat over a jardiniere In
which were some small ferns and
which was hidden from view In a cor
ner of the front porch. After Miss
Harrel rode away with her friends
her mother, Mrs. c. F. Coe, came out
Of the house and proceeded to sprinkle
the flowers. OF course the covered
jardiniere came In for a share Of the
"wetness," and when Miss Harral re-
turned she found the hat and its cost
ly trimmings wilted and ruined.-Pine

and planks are held together with
wooden treenails, and spikes and bolts
Of copper and bronze. Her engine and
other machinery are Of brass and
bronze. and even the propeller is OF
manganese bronze.
Those of us who recall our early
history lessons remember, probably
the statement that at one time on the
great voyage of Columbus his sailors
mutinied because the compass needle
failed to point to the North star. Such
eccentricities Of the compass have
bothered mariners ever since. Perhaps
they did before.
1t is a well-known fact that the
compass in certain parts of the earth
does not remain true to due north.
On some localities the variation may
be several degrees. Off the coast or
Oregon and Washington the variation
Is as much as twenty to twenty-five
degrees. This variation is found on
land as we'll as on the ocean.
There are a number of lines along
which the compass needle always
points due north. One of these lines
of mo variation" begins In the east
ern part of Lake Superior, runs
through Ohio, about midway between
Cincinnati and Columbus, through
eastern Tennessee, cuts through South
Carolina and strikes out into the At
lantic near Beaufort.
On the east side of this line the
compass needle Is drawn by some
mysterious force to the westward;
west of the line 1t Is drawn to the
east. On the upper coast OF Maine
the needle gets as much as twenty-one
degrees west OF true"
The geographic north pole is not the
magnetic pole; Just where the latter Is
remains as much Of mystery as the
pole Peary is seeking. And another
strange thing about 1t, the magnetic
pole Is not stationary; 1t is continu-
ally moving, although very slowly. 1t
has not been discovered In what direc-
tion the magnetic pole is moving.
When the magnetic pole shall have
been located and It's various phenom-
ena ascertsined. many Of the existing
problems Of navigation will disappear.
To solve these riddles will be one of
the tasks Of the scientists aboard the
Carnegie.
In building the ship some puzzlins
questions had to be solved. The boat
had to be virtually non-magnetic. For
that reason iron and steel could not
enter into its construction. 1t was to
be the first vessel In which such ma
terials were not to be found. With

[RONLESS SHIP BUILT TO
SURVEY THE WORLD.

Destined for a fifteen-year cruise to
all accessible parts of the world, the
non-magnetic yacht. Carnegie, recently
launched in Brooklyn. n. Y, is expect
ed to become a prominent figure in the
maritime hall of fame.
Built for use in a magnetic survey
of the earth, the Carnegie is expected
to encounter experiences such as no
other vessel has been through. She
will wrestle, probably, with ice packs
In the Arctic. and may meet terrific
tvphoons off the Asiatic coast. Her
crew may shorten sail before the
storm king of Cape Horn and whistle
for breezes in the sultry Sargasso sea.
Even In her construction, the yacht
differs from other vessels. No steel
of iron has entered into her construc-
ton, except about GOO pounds neces-
sary for certain parts of her machin-
cry. She will be nearer all wood than
than any other modern craft af1oat.

sea in ships. The scientists to sail
in her hope to discover, among other
things. the location and characteristics
OF the North magnetic pole.
The Carnegie institution of Wash
ington, which built the vessel about
FIVE years ago. undertook to make a
series of systematic surveys. There
was organized a department of re-
search in terrestrial magnetism. which
was placed in charge of DR.. L. A..
Bauer. who was formerly In charge Of
the magnetic survey of the United
States under the coast and geodetic
survey. Since then valuable work has
been done In the Pacific Ocean. the
yacht Galilee making three voyages
aggregating 10000 nautical miles.
Il Is because of the peculiar char
acter of the work for which she Is in
tended that the vessel was built with
