d. Rockefeller you will see that he has common
school education. If he could have made money any
faster with the advantage of college education he
might have owned proprietary interest in the canals

There is Edward Henry Hartman, who has fad
for collecting railroads. Without college education,
he has told the interstate commerce commission that
if it would leave him alone he would pick up the few
lines in this country that he does not already own
and add them to his collection Imagine what would
have happened to the railroad business of this
try if Mr.. Hartman had spent four years of his
youth IN one of the great universities, provided, of
course that this line of talk about college training
making man better in any line is true,
No deny that there are advantages in a
college education. In the first place it develops the
lungs of the young man, who yell " Rah! 'Rahl
'Rahi" until the earth quakes Then if during his coll
lege course he can annex himself to comic opera
organization and buy Holsters while his father is
denying himself new self binder he needs, he is
acquiring an insight into human nature that may
come high, but he has to have it.
In the last analysis it seems that whether college
education is valuable and necessary not depends
largely on what is doing His Harvard train

What Is Electricity?

THIS Is a favorite query with people who desire
to get a RISE out of scientific man. And
when he fails answer it in the same simple
fashion that he might treat the question What is
biscuit?" the questioner cries out AHA! You pro-
TESS to know all about electricity; why you can't
even tell what it is"
Now, to tell what thing is'-that is to define
it's to state its relations with something more
familiar The particular familiar thing that the
auestoner is thinking of in this case is ordinary
matter Heat has been explained to him as a vibra-
ton of material PARTICLES light, he has been told is
wave motion in the ether, and he understands the
ether to be kind of matter, or substance resem-
bling matter in particulars.
1t is not to be denied that no such simple general
relationship be stated between electricity and
matter But this being so, it would be just as cor
rect to say that do not know what matter is as
that do not know what electricity is AS matter
of fact, we do not know what matter is and the
latest plausible theory of it builds up on an electric
basis, that this theory the idea of electricity
is more fundamental than that of matter. Unfortu-
naely, senses have been evolved by contact with
matter and are trained to detect only matter; cleo
trcity they know only secondarily through it's ac-

matter to give out the attraction that it causes

How Big Is the Universe ]?

TT one could start away from the earth and travel
1 steadily in straight line, what would he find {?
Three answers have been made to this question.
According to the first the traveller might go on for
ever and would always find stars, although he might
cross great void spaces between systems According
to the second he might keep on forever but he would
finally pass the outer limit of the material universe
and then he would never any more stars
According to the third, if he Travelled on forever
no matter in how perfect straight line, he would
keep on coming back to the point of starting The first
answer supposes infinite universe in infinite space
the second supposes limited universe but infinite
space and the third means that space itself is limited
This last answer, which is given by persons who can
not admit the possibility of infnty, has no evidence
fer or against it. 1t is the result of pure speculation

Another source Of confusion to the lay mind IS
that scientific men do not always use the word
electricity to the thing. The engineer
often employs it express the thing that the theo-
retical electrician calls electric energy"
To find the energy of electricity that is it's ability
to do work. the electrician muples the quantity of
electricity by the potential tension under which
its exists. But to the engineer this product itself

The work that pound of water may do by falling

the electrician quantity of electricity 100 volts

MICA PRODUCTION
OF PAST YEAR

The total value of the mica pro-
duced in the United States in 1908,
according to statistics compiled by
the United States geological survey,
amounted to $267,925. The produc-
ton of sheet mica amounted to 972,-
964 pounds, valued at $234,021, a
decrease of S7,21S pounds and $115,-
290 from 1907. The production of
scrap mica amounted to 2417 short
tons and $500. The value of the
imports into the United States fell
from 1929 in 1907 to $266,05S
in 1908, or slightly less than the do
nestle production.
The mica produced from ten states,
the most important of which, named

BEER CONTAINS
FOOD and drink

The following article, an excerpt
from the Literary Digest issue of
May 20, entitled "Nutritive Value of
Beer" republished from the Hos
pital' of London, being the findings
of a special commission appointed
by the English government may up
set the theory of the "dry" advocates
who loudly proclaim death to the
brewery interests" throughout the
country:
when a man drinks good beer
he drinks and east at the same time,
just as when he eats bowl of soup.
The terms eat and drink are cur
iously but inconsistency used as con-
noting the difference between what
is merely quenching our thirst and
what Is actually consuming nourish-
ment. Our commissioners point out
man might more properly be said
to eat beer than to eat certain kinds
of soup, or indeed watermelon. Their
report will enable members of the
medical profession and the public to
understand clearly what constitutes
good beer, and where and how they
may obtain it. Beer drinkers, the
numbers of whom We hope will in
crease considerably as the result of
the researches of our commissioners,
are now in position to protect
themselves from bad beers, and we
hold the view that it would be in
finitely better for the we'll being of
the people of. these islands as a
whole if they were to select beer as
their habitual drink, rather than
wines or spirits. Climatic conditions
have good deal to do with the d.
etetic value of substances used for
allaying thirst. Our commissioners
properly drive home that, when a
man drinks beer or stout habitually,
he is not only drinking but eating,
fact which had not been sufficiently
recognized in recent years. These
I uOVel ages CoHldIH all the elements OIL
a typical diet, with the exception of
fat, and in proportion approximate
ly physiological. Our commissioners
remind Us that if the worth of a
food is measured by its calorimetric
value the fact is that a glass of good
ale is approximately as nourishing as
glass of milk, and that a quart of
good beer is nearly equivalent to a
quarter of a pound of beef"
