The time will come, and soon, when
electricity will be the controlling factor
in taost things.
The city of the future is wonderful
thing 10 contemplate-nearly every
thing electrical; nearly everything au-
tomato. Press button or turn a
switch, and, 10! the thing desired APP
pears. The fairy stories of the magic
wand come true. No effort required
and little expense, for nature will pro-
vide the electrical energy of the future
if the device of one modern magician
for generating electricity from the suns
rays proves practical. Place it on the
roof Of youF house, and in one sunshiny
day sufficient amount of electricity
will he accumulated in the storage bat
terieS to light and heat your home and
cook your meals for week.
This would mean that every family
will have, for the small initial outlay
necessary to procure the solar generat-
or and the equipment of the house, its
own electric light plant, which will be
continually in operation without atten-
ton Or additional cost.

the future electrical city, with the vast
sleeping energy of the sun unloosed to
its utmost extent. BY night it will be

had followed Bob Cross to Sulphur
Spring camp meeting and had wor-
SHIPPED with Bob for the full week. Mr.
White Nose had another name, elm
coin, and was called "LinlIn for short,
but he was best known by the name
that harmonized with his clear white
color. He could run as fast as any
other dog of his size and build, but not
fast enough to overtalle rabbit, how
ever, what he lacked in speed he more
than made up in rapid barking, giving
forth bark for every jump he made,
and his barks so terrified rabbits as to
cause their tails to turn white. For
year preceding Mr.. White Noses death
he had social companion known as
" Mr.. Black Nose" u slender built
black dog of the high grade Kentucky
speed class, and although not much
larger than big rabbit, could, and
yet can, pick up rabbit over either
smooth or rough ground. Being thus
out-classed for speed, think, caused
Mr.. White Nose to yield to the infirmi-
ties of age and die prematurely.
Well, why so much about a dog or
dogs? Simply this: The dog is proven
bially spoken of as mean, whilst an
average dog, and especially a good one,
in some respects averages above the
status of good man. Such man re-

SOLDIERS HOME NOTES

Members coming from the Dayton
Home report the conditions there as
deplorable. Overcoats are worn in the
barracks, hot water is scarce and the
blankets and mattresses are nothing
compared with the same articles here,
the big two-story beds where they have
to tie the blankets on. The dining girls
there peel the potatoes and wait on the
tables at SlS per month. Women are
employed in the main dining halls
now at the Milwaukee, Danvile and
Dayton Homes. The other six Homes
have men walters, and at this Home
they are up-to-date.
The show Christmas night was fine,
moving pictures, search light for Coney
Island and the songs by Arthur Earn
est were something fine, and the arri.
val of Santa Claus in the airship Maud.
Gov, Cook, of the Leavenworth Ma
tional Home, prevented the marriage
of one of the members, aged IS, to a
woman of 81. He had received a back
pension of So, 500 and owned about S15.-
600 worth of property in Kansas. He
is to be examined for his sanity.

the sun shine on it and at once it starts
its work. Not the solar heat itself, but
rather the invisible rays that make up
part of the solar spectrum, and the ultra

ends of which are sheltered from the

Now that nature seems willing to
provide electricity without cost, what
are the various purposes for which it
may be used?
Every one knows that its uses today
are common for power, lighting, heat

things.
One may even be shaved by electric

happens to be a man--and frequently
one happens to have that misfortune.
And if one happens to be member of

and burning tender hands in the effort,

The Underground City.

The route of the Underground moving
platform will become busy center of
commercial activities. All along the
route scurrying throngs will step from
the electric sidewalk and rush in and
out of department stores, restaurants,
jewelry, dressmaking, haberdashery,
tailoring and grocery establishments.
There will even be banking houses and
wireless telegraph Offices. Automatic
wireless telephones will be found ev-
erywhere for communicating with any
part of the suhterranean city or the
one above.
One can foresee the time when the
man on the street, on the trolley car or
wherever he may be, will carry in his
pocket an audion or receiver, listed un-
der his own number and tuned to an
affinity different from that of any 9TH
er audion. Should some one call that
number, Immediately the audion will
buzz warning. True, the man will
not be able to telephone without con-
nection with transmitting apparatus.
But there will be found in all vehicles,
and even on street corners, as letter
drops now are. All he will then have
to do will be to connect his receiver
with the transmitter, drop a coin in
the slot, and communication will be
set up Immediately,
Indeed this electrical age into which
we are rapidly sliding will also be an
