BY GARRETT p. sERvIss.

Two investigators-one I'm America.
Prof Nipher, Of st. Louis, and the
other in Germany, DR.. Cantor. of Wurz-
burg-each proceeding independently
Of the other, have recently uncovered
very pregnant fact in the science OF
electricity. IL Is this: When an cleo
trio current is caused 10 pass round a
sharp corner ii appears TO shoot off
streams of energy, which continue on
Ia the original direction. just as a
stream OF moving PARTICLES would do.
This, says Prof. Silvanus =. Thomp-
son, looks like true electric momen-
.tum.
In other words. IL shows that cleo
tiicity. moving IN current, behaves
like water flowing In pipe. Any
body who has ever suddenly shut off
water tap knows that the momentum
OF the moving water is liable TO burst
the pipe or it's connections: This can
only happen because the moving fluid
possesses mass or weight Men OF
science have been slow to accept tho
idea that electricity was of that ma.
ture, but I'm the face OF this newly
discovered phenomenon. II seems diff
ficult to deny that electricity has the
property OF momentum and that when
Il moves i'm wire IL acts like a NOV
ing body.
This calls up the whole question OF
the nature Of electricity. II indicates
that current of electricity has inertia.

new discovery has only scientific in

discoveries which have given us the
marvels of X-ray photography. and no
one can tell TO what IL may lead.
In some OF his experiments Profess
or Nipher found. that when the cur
rent was sent round a sharp corner
something appeared to be shot ahead
which recalled the effects of the X
rays. producing shadow photographs,
even through n plate of solid ebonite

The discovery Is a strong confrma-
ton OF the modern theory that the
inertia l. e., resistance TO change, OF
what we call matter" is due simply
to the magnetic field surrounding a
moving charge of electricity. Thus
we seem to be on the verge OF a
fundamental discovery concerning
the real nature OF the world In

are still feeling about I'm the

ExperimenfaI Sfafl0n

About the 18th of this month,
representatives of the Dupont
Powder Company will be here to
conduct a series of experiments
on part of Governor Crawford's
farm, just east Ol town. The
powder company will experiment
with new blasting powder they
are making for farm use in the
breaking up of hard pan, and
inasmuch as Governor Crawford
is the father of the idea of plow-
ing up hardpan in this section of
country, the powder people
deemed it right to conduct the
experiment at the governors
place.
After the powder people get
through with the ground, of
which there will be about twenty
acres, the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College will take charge of
the land and conduct a series of
experiments to see what can be
raised on the land after it is
blown up. Alfalfa and other
money making crops will be put
id, and it is believed that the ex-
pertinent will prove the blowing
up theory to be a success.
We want our farmers to keep
close tab on this matter, and
watch the experiments closely,
as the powder people believe
they will be able to furnish pow
der for about a dollar an acre,
which will reclaim all the hard
pan in this whole country. If
this can be done, it will beat all
the irrigation work the govern
ment is doing, for it will not
cost any more to reclaim, IS to 9O|
acres of hard pan land than it
does to irregate one acre.
Farmers and land owners,
watch it very closely. 1t may
mean many dollars to you.
