The work which Wagner accomplished In behalf
OF the legend Of Tannhauser is fairly comparable
with the tales which have been woven around the
figure OF King Arthur. The stories cf the knights
OF the Round Table are in the mouths OF all Eng
lish speaking peoples because of the Idylls Of the
King the legend Of Tannhduser was saved from
becoming the exclusive property Of students Of
German literary students by Wagner's opera. Like
many folk tales. the story touches historical fact
in part and for the reaches far into the shad
cwy realm Of legendary lore The historical ele-
ment is compassed by the fact that the principal
human characters involved in 1t had existence.

A WISE MISREPRESENTATION

In his message to the legislature,
Governor Dickerson recommends that a
law be enacted by that body that will
permit school funds to be invested in
state bonds.
Such a law would no doubt meet
with the appreciation of the ~financlers
of the state, and would add materially
to the earning capacity of the school
money. LIN addition it would have the
effect of showing outside investors that
the people of this commonwealth have
confidence in the integrity of their
own institutions, and would no doubt
precipitate & spirited bidding for flu
ture issues.
The last investment of our school
moneys was in Massachusetts, AZ.
While undoubtedly perfectly safe, they
are no more 80 than will be the contem
plated issues of Reno and Humboldt
county, which will probably return )
per cent on the investment.
Another important feature of the
proposed law will be the fact that our
own money will be kept at home AMI
used in the ordinary channels of cir
culation.

PROPOSED DIRECT PRIMARY LAW

Several of the newspapers of the
state are advocating a direct primary
law.
1t would not seem that there is any
necessity for a measure of this kind il
Nevada, owing to the fact that we
have no large cities. In states where
a law of this character has been en-
acted, its SINGLE obpect has been to
dispense with machine nominations in
the great ~centers of population. But
in most cases it has proven a failure,
and in many instances has been re
pealed.
In this state at present the several
political parties pay the expenses OF
their own primaries and nominating
conventions, and it is probable that the
results of their deliberations are fair
expressions Of the wishes of the ma
jority Of their respective parties. 1t is
probable, therefore, that the net re
suit of a direct primary law would only
be to saddle this expense upon tn
state.

induction motors do not require the

Importance in many eases. An IN
crease in the motors speed may De
brought about by (1) decreasing the
strength of the magnetic field or
(2) by increasing the voltage at the
armature terminals. In most cases,
a rheostat or resistance box ~
placed in series with the field. and the
sneed of the motor regulated by
VARYING the size of the current that
masses into the field and thereby
VARYING the strength of the magnetic
field. In some cases, a straight null
tiple voltage system, without a field
control, is used. By properly com
bining multiple voltage and field
control. the advantages of both
systems are obtained. This combined
system is applicable in the operation
of shunt wound direct motors. These
motors are largely in use for the
individual drive of machine tools.
From the foregoing. it may be
seen that a generator and a motor.

of a stream of water may be con

copper wire to the place where the
power is wanted, and there restored
to the form of mechanical power by
a motor. The first electric power
transmission scheme was shown at
the Vienna exposition in 1873. when
two similar Gramme machines were
used-one as a generator. the other as
a motor, the distance between them
heing about a third of a mile.

THE PASSING OF SENATOR
PLATT

The 4th of March will witness the
passing from the United States SEN
ate of one of it's oldest members,
from both the point of age and of
service-Thomas Collier Plat.
The aged Senator is perhaps
the last old-fashioned political boss to
hold a seat in the senate. The day
of his kind has passed, never to re-
turn. Whatever may have been
charged against Senator Plat during
his long public career, he has certain
ly never been accused of being u
statesman. When he frst entered the
senate, more than a quarter Of a
century 60, he was the colleague of
Roscoe Conkling, the last real sen
ator the Empire state has sent to
the national capital. From his
ready acquiescence to every proposal
of Conklng, he was named "Me Too
Platt, and when the naughty senior
senator, in a pique owe his failure
to eoerce the president, seeded from
the senate, "Me Too went along.
Conkling never returned to the
senate, but Platt, through his genial
manner and wonderful knowledge of
men, not only returned TO that body
but became the absolute political boss
of his state.
Elihu Root. who will succeed Sen
ator Platt. is conceded to be a states
men with but few peers in the
country, and will no doubt fttingly
represent the great state of New York.
