Theories of Planet Building and Movement
as Advanced by Blade Writers Are
Commended and Criticised.
(By f. ID. Northrup.)


Ending, so far, with the articles of
Brothers Hausman and Watkins, you give
some very interesting and suggestive, if
not instructive matter upon this old earth,
ITS origin and evolution. Brother Haus-
man s series are fine, but in some instances,
need better digestion" and proper modi-
tcation or correction.
Brother Head has presented most in
teresting, if not wholly sound theory of
the subject; but, all too much overlook the
controlling, all-important and all-prevailing
part played by electricity and its con-
gener, magnetism-the soul of the Uni
verse, if not of everything therein.
Brother Maddox, long ago came nearest
to "hitting the nail on the head" when
he proclaimed all of the stars, suns, plan
cts and satellites to be vast dynamos in
terchangedly transmitting to, and receiving
from one another, direct, electricity and
magnetism, thereby all held in perfect bal
ance; and the further truth, that our sun
shine, moonshine and star shine are only
the well-known electric currents with our
atmosphere, revealing the bodies whence
they emanate precisely as the image of
any earthly body is transmitted to the
Photographic plate-no longer mere church.
lanterns hung on himmels-zelt solely for
the benefit of this little lump of mud, the
world, and the glorifcation of a mythical
man-made god that, in reality, is ever a
pope (priest-king), usurplng authority over
ignorant and superstitious minds
AS Prof. Farraday was dying, he ex-
claimed: 81 now see how little | know
about electricity! Once, | thought knew
something about it,"
One scientific fact is settled, to-wit: The
highere up, i. e., further out, into our atmos-
phere, the colder and darker it gets. The at
mosphere, in proportion to itsrelative density
near or far, receives and retains heat, cul-
minating in thunder showers, etc. Edison
declared that earthquakes are thunder
storms in the ground"
The earth in turn is transmitting electric
currents to every other celestial body; and
thus a tOlerable equilibrium is maintained
here.
The glacial period may be easily and
scientifically explained on the theory that
there was a period before chemical action
had produced the separate bodies of air
and water as now existing, when our at
mosphere was too attenuated to receive

And, again, the poles of the earth may
have gradually, or more quickly, changed,
ashley may yet change so as to be located
at opposite points, now in the equator.
That would leave two pretty big chunks of

perfect specimens of the mighty mastodon,

Those ideas are, of course, not original
with me. l have mighty little time to
spare for such topics, yet they interest me
beyond all telling; and L now merely write
as suggestive text to those having the
time to think and write on the mighty sub
ject of electricity and magnetism in the
same line.
German scientists have demonstrated
that "the motive power" of the body is
electricity supplied by its two double-lobed
batteries, the one being the stomach, sup
piled by food and drink, and digestion be-
ing an electrical process pure and simple;
and the other being the lungs as auxiliary
and supplied by oxygen-the trans
hitting wires being the pair of the pneumo-
castle nerve and the pair of its compile
mentary great sympathetic nerve, WHICH
has its origin in "the lower brain THE
solar plexus-which does its own thinking
and runs all Of the involuntary functions
of the body. (See that splendid work of
DR.. Hallock, "The Education of the Cen
trail Nervous System" price 81, published
by The Macmillan Co., New York City,
1t is expected that science will, at an
early day, succeed in establishing intelli-
gent communication between the upper vol
untary brain and the lower involuntary
brain, whose functions are similar to the
subliminal mind-the sub-conscious mind
so highly extoled by the great Emerson,
if not, in fact, component part of it.
Popes and priests will have not the least
part in the discovery of "the one true and
omnipotent god," electricity! They have
never got beyond those old church lanterns,
hung on the sky when the human race was
in its primeval, barbaric infancy
Mr.. Frank U. Perret, the avowedly great
earthquake and volcano specialist and
prophet who predicted, last December, the
great earthquake at Messina, and elabo-
rated his theory thereof, in "The Sum-"
of New York City, also overlooks the fact
that electric currents running from the
sun, at times when the sun, moon and
earth land other great bodies, too), are all

CLIMAX OF FRESHMEN DANCE

Chicago-As the climax to dance
by the freshmen class of medical
college in this city the othel night,
the sophomore, Junior and senior
students captured 20 of the fresh
men and locked them in box car on
the Illinois Central tracks.
They were held prisoners until
others who attended the dance on in.
vitation released them by tearing OIL
the door of the car. All Of the fresh
men wore evening dress, and when
rescued they were thoroughly chilled
from the experience.
Previous to taking the freshmen
from the hall where the dance was
held, the seniors and other students
had torn the flags and banners from
the walls of the dance hall. Red pep
per and formaldehyde were sprinkled
over the floor, while the freshmen and
their partners were whirling around tc
the strains of waltz, and the com
bination drove the girls from the hall,
Several gallons of sweet cider that
was purchased by the freshmen to
quench their thirst was confiscated by
the other students, and the same thing
happened to the ice cream. which was
intended for the girls.
Failure of the freshmen to invite
the other classes to their annual
blowout" was the cause Of the
trouble. The freshmen observed the
closest secrecy regarding the dance,
but the matter came to the ears OF
the other students during the after
noon.

vent the holding Of the freshmen
soiree.
At ten o'clock the dance was under
full sway. UNLIMITED students TO the
number of 100 marched in a body to
the hall and took possession. Ban
ners and flags of the freshmen class
decorated the walls, and these were
the first objects for assault. Some Of
the freshmen tried to prevent the
others from tearing down the class
emblems, but they were thrust aside.
Formaldehyde, which doesn't smell
like altar of roses, and red pepper
were then strewn over the flood. This
had the desired result of driving the
freshmen's sweethearts from the hall.
The next event on the program was
to capture 20 Of the freshmen and
march them to the Illinois Central
tracks, three blocks from the dance
hall. Sophomores, juniors and seniors
were clad in heavy overcoats, but the
freshmen were compelled to SILVER in
their ballroom attire.
While the freshmen were prisoners
in the box car. the other students
sang in the Good Old Summer

A New Industry.


1t is quite possible that new and
important Industry will be developed
in this country. There has been CON-
mendable effort, national and state,
looking to the protection of game anil
mails and the preservation OF species
that have become well-nigh extinct
through the waste permitted In earlier
years. Now a step ahead may be ta-
ken. The federal government, through
the department Of agriculture, is CIV
ing the matter attention. The depart
ment proposes to aid the people In
going into the business of producing
venison for profit. A circular has
been sent forth N which the following
recommendation are made: las re-
suit of the growing scarcity of game
animals in this country the supply OF
venison is wholly inadequate to the
demands. and the time seems oppor-
tune for developing the industry of deer
farming, which may be made profita
BILE alike to the state and to the indi--
vidual engaged therein. The raising
Of venison for market Is as legitimate
a business as the growing Of beef or
mutton, and state laws, when prohib-
itory, as many Of them are. should be
so modified as to encourage the indus
try. Furthermore deer and elk may
be raised TO advantage on rough,
brusfy ground unfit for either agricul-
ture ot stock raising, thus utilizing for
profit much land that is now waste. An
added advantage is that the business
is well adapted to landowners of small
means" Several gentlemen who have
attempted 10 raise deer FOR the market
report that they have had very salts

The forest is very open and for the
most part contains scattering stand
of western yellow pine timber. AlongN
the creek bed are found ash, box eldeN6

breaks are also found on precipitous.
slopes bordering the streams. West
ern yellow pine is the only merchant
able species, however, on the forest
and the average stand per acre is not
over 1000 feet. The reproduction of
pine is fairly good wherever mature,
trees occur, but owing to the open
condition of the forest and the dense
growth of grass it is for the most part
unsatisfactory
There is but little timber that will
be sold from the forest at the present
time, since this area is very isolated,
being surrounded on all sides by vast
plains. Many homesteaders have in
the past come to this forest for tim
Der for logs to build their houses.
Since the completion of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, Billings
county is rapidly being settled, and
while stock grazing is at the preseuD
time the most important industry, it is
very probable that farming will be-
come the most important industry
within the next few years. 1t is very
important. therefore, that the timber
which now remains should be con-
served exclusively for the use OF the
home builder.
At the present time there are but
seven homesteaders within the boun-
daries of the forest, but all of the odd
sections are alienated land being
owned by the Western Land Securities
Company. This company has been
selling portions OF their holdings dur.
ing the past few years. Very little OF
the government land within tho
boundaries CT the forest is suitable for
farming purposes, since it is quite
rough and broken and water is very
scarce. 1t is the country outside of
the forest which is now being taken
up by settlers.
No sawmill operations have ever
been conducted on the area. WheA
the Northern Pacific railroad was bA
ing built larger number of trees
were cut for railroad ties. and together
with the logs which have been pro.
cured fer house building by settlers,
this is the only use which has been
made of the timber on the forest. 1t is
understood that the logs used in the
construction Of President Roosevelt's
cabin. which now stands in tho state
capitol grounds Mt Bismarck, N. d.,
were obtained from the area now in
cluded in the Dakota national forest
Gov. Burke of North Dakota is very
much interested in this forest and

to the people who live in the region
where the forest is created.
