G. S. Wing For the Senate.

Rice Depot, Va, June, 9, 1909
Mr.. Edit0r:-KnOwing that you and
your readers are interested in the Sc
lection of a successor to Judge w. II.
Mann, senator from this district, and
that there is a probability of the ne
cessity arising soon to make this Sc
lection. feel it would not be amiss
for me to suggest a name for consid-
Grafton.
Mr. G. 5. Wing, Of Green Bay,
Virginia, is a man in my judgment, of
eminent qualifications for such a po-
sition by education, training and ex-
perience.
His education has been along prac-
teal lines. A great reader of sub
iects that are up 10 date and of every
day discussion he has acquired a
knowledge of men and subjects of a
high order He has won fame in his
profession as a hard worker. fearless
iy ana successfully opposing some OF
the most eminent railroad attorneys
in the State AS a farmer he has ex-
hibited an interest and. success that
makes him of the greatest value to
those who have been sadly neglected
in past legislation
CNow, Mr.. Editor am deeply in-
terested in the welfare of this section
and the suggestion made here is not
for the purpose OF throwing cold wa
ter upon the aspirations of those who
have been spoken of for this position
bat simply for the purpose Of calling
attention TO a most worthy and merito-
rious citizen who would, in my judg-
ment make a most valuable member
of the Senate Of Virginia

TREMENDOUS POWER OF WATER.
Resists All Strength of Man and
Could Lift Mountains.

When a man goes in swimming at
the seashore and slaps the water
forcibiy with his hand, or takes
back dive from pier and lands
squarely on his back, he realizes that
the unstable liquid offers not little
resistance. Yet 1t would surprise al
most anybody to see what water Will
do under certain conditions.
A stream from a firemans hose VIII
knock a man down. The jet from
nozzle used in placer mining IN the
west eats away large piece OF land
in a day, toys with great bewlders as
If they were pebbles, and would shoot
a man over the country as though he
were a proiectile from a cannon.
There is a story Of an eastern black
smith who went west and made bet
that he could knock a hole through
the let of one of these nozzles with
sledge hammer. He lifted his arms,
swung the sledge, and came down on
the ten-inch stream with force that
would have dented an anvil. But the
jet, never penetrated, whisked the
massive hammer out of the black
smiths hands and tossed 1t seyera'
hundred feet away into the debris OF
gold-bearing gravel beneath crum'
bling cliff. After this the blacksmith
left out iron when he spoke of hard
substances.
There is also power plant near
Durango, Col, where a United States
cavalryman one day thought he had
an easy job in cutting a twoinch
stream with his sword. He made a
valiant attack. The result was that
his sword was shivered in two and his
wrist broken.
A little thinner Jet OF water descend
Ing 1000 feet to manufactory at
Grenoble, Spain, and travelling at
| the moderate speed of 100 yards
a second, fractures the best blades OF
| Toledo
OF course some people will not be-
| lieye such stories without having seen
the thing. and one may think 1t a
proof of the scientific imagination to
say that an inch-thick sheet of water
provided 1t had sufficient velocity
would ward off bombshells as well as
steel plate.
Nevertheless, many persons, while
travelling, have seen a brakeman put
a small hydraulic jack under one enc
of car and lift 20 tons or so by
few ieisurely strokes Of The pump han
die; and the experience of riding every
day In hydraulic elevator tends t6
remove doubts of the magic power
possessed by water hitcned to ma
chine.

Electricity from the Earth.

Great local differences in the electri-
fication Of the earth are known to ex-
ist, and German engineer suggests
that with better knowledge 1t may be
possible to make mining for electricity
as profitable as digging for coal or
metals. In experiments In two COM
paratively shallow borings, he has OBJ
tained weak currents between a small
rod of brass or iron immersed in the
water of the pit and similar rod
buried near the surface. He urges
that contractors, mining companies and
others take up the problem, and per
form such experiments as testing the
current between 60-foot copper cylin-
der at the bottom of boring of 10000
feet or more and a similar cylinder bur
led in moist ground at the surface.

obtained from long iron pipes buried

MAKE RUBBER FROM WHEAT.
important Discovery for the Manufac

Wheat and hogs, hitherto regarded
by the farmer of the Mississippi val
ley simply as food products. have as
gumed a new commercial Importance,
SAYS the Technical World. In brief,
wheat and hogs spittle will produce
rubber. The importance of the dis
covery can scarcely be overestimated,
coming as it does at time when the
world is anxiously asking from where
is future supplies of rubber are to
come. In half decade, It is said, the
annual consumption of the elastic ma.
terial will be at least 10000 tons.
Even 100000 tons is regarded by
many as a conservative estimate.
It was by accident that Mr.. Carr
the English inventor or discoverer OF
the substance, made the first step in
his great discovery. He was but
small boy then. Passing one DAY
through field of wheat he plucked a
few grains of cereal. and. chewing
them, formed the glutinous compound
SO familiar to every country lad.
Many years later, recalling his early
experience. he began putting his the

was a small shed in his back yard;

kettle of hot water. Later he was

Alaska's Hidden Treasures.

Alaska has more gold than ever had
California, Australia or South Africa;
it has more copper than 20 Buttes; 1t
has more hard coal than Pennsylvania,
and 1t has more tin than Wales. The
hay that rots on its tundras and
plains would fatten all the cattle that
roam upon the prairies of Kansas, Ok
lahoma and Texas. And there the
wild. fertile, untouched plains and
valleys await the ak, the spade, the
plow and the reaper of half million
American farmers and gardeners. And
yet this virgin empire remains vfrtu-
ally landlocked for nearly 1000 miles
along its Pacific coast. For distance
OF nearly 100 miles from the coast in
land the country is so rugged that
1t is almost as cheap to build rail-
road as a wagon road. The great river
system of this empire flows northward
into seas ice-locked for seven months
Of the year. The heart of this wonder
land is close to all the great possible
channels of commerce, except rail
roads. which must be built in the i'm
