The Model Army of the World.

What army was the strongest OF its
fine? Judging by results, the Roman
army was so from the fifth century
3. C. onward until the division Of the
empire. Its fighting organization was
as complete as and possibly more prac-
tical than that of any army of today.
1t was based OH territorial system
which maintained the comradeship of
locality without bringing it into an
tagonism with that of the corps. for
each of the thirty-five Roman tribes"
was required to furnish to each legion
four centuries" of 12O men, each Of
which worked together as local unit.
The legion was divided into five CO.
horts or battaliOns, of which three
were troops of the line, two were a
kind of militia and the fifth was a de-
pot battalion. For almost eight centu-
ries the army thus constituted not only
conquered the then known world. but
acted as explorers beyond it's limits
and at the same time made and I'M
made kings and emperors in Rome it

Electrical Discharges From Plants.

The atmosphere surrounding our
earth is known to be electrified. and its
charges are bound to play an impor-
tant part in many phenomena. Atmos-
pheric electrifcatiOn thus is RESPONSE
BILE for the formation Of rain and hail,
and, while fine weather generally is
characterized by the presence of posi-
tive electricity, change in the wealth
er is generally accompanied by a
change in the sign of atmospheric cleo
tricity. That the electrificatiOn Of the
air does exert some influence on plant
growth is inferred from the fact that
electrified plants. under the influence
Of sunshine, can give off electricity
from the leaves, and as the air is nat
urally electrified relatively to the soil
all plants are bound to be in a constant
state of slow electrical discharge which
is made active on the rising Of the SUM-
Technical World Magazine.

State Body Will PenaliZe G. N.

Seattle, Oct. 1O.-The act of
President L. w. Hill, of the Great
Northern. in authorizing the con-
struction of a $4,000 depot at
Odessa is construed by some as a
slap at the Washington railroad
commission. and may cost the rail-
road company several thousand
dollars in penalties for neglecting
to comply with and ignoring the
orders of the commission.
Some six months ago the railroad
commission made a tour of the
Great Northern, in the course OF
which many grievances were heard
against it regarding it's service and
facilities. A number of orders were
made by the commission directing
the company to improve it's station
and other facilities. The railroad
commission law provides penalties
for any railroad refusing to comply
with such orders, and the other
railroads of the state promptly
complied with similar orders made
at the same time.
The Great Northern, however,
has not complied with these orders,
nor has it appealed from them as
is permitted by law. 1t has taken
the course of ignoring the commits
sion and its orders entirely. Now
comes the announcement that the
road, as indicated by the Odessa
incident, intends not only to refuse
to obey the commission, but to
show its contempt for that body by
granting favors in the way of i'm
proved service to communities
which come to it direct, while de-
Ginning to comply with legal orders
1or such improvements made at the
request of communities which chose
10 go to the state commission in
stead.
The time for compliance with
these orders has passed and already
the road is subject to penalties for
their disobedience. 1t is intimated
that these penalties will run into
thousands of dollars, while the en-
tire cost OF the many improvements

LeschetiZky. the great piano teacher.
whose comic spirit is one If the pre-
dominating features of his character.
It is well known that he is a man of
strong likes and dislikes. When an
American pianist dozen or so years
ago went to Vienna to study with him
he wore his hair long. habit much
affected at that time by the aspiring
young artist. So greatly did his gen
eral appearance annoy the professor
that at the end of the first lesson the
student received instructions to go and
have his hair cut short. Although
loath to part with his locks. the young
pianist nevertheless obeyed and turned
up at the next lesson with his hair cut
in the conventional way. Still Lesche-
tiZky was not satisfied. There is
something about you that don't like"
cried the professor. "Your ears are too
long. Have them cut off and let your
hair grow again. -Smith's Magazine
