Storage Device for Electric Power.


From England comes the report of a
discovery which will permit electric
companies to furnish current at greatly
reduced rates, thus putting the use Of
electric household appliances within the
reach of many families. One of the
reasons why electric current has here
tofore been 80 costly lies in the fact that
the amount of current consumed at var
ious hours of the day varies greatly.
In the evening, for instance, when a
great city is turning on its electric
lights the current consumption for a
few hours may be twenty or even one
hundred times more than during the
middle of the day. A similar difference
ON small scale may be found in the
individual house, when instead of a
single light burning in dark closet, a
score orimore of the incandescents may
be turned on at once and the whole
building illuminated. AS consequence
of this widely varying demand for cur
rent the electric power companies are
obliged to install plants large enough to
take care Of the maximum amount
which may be required. At the same
time they are able to use this maximum
amount of current for only few hours
out of each twenty.four.
The English invention is device for
storing heat produced by electric cur
rent. The device itself is metal cylin-
der of no great size which is used at the
same time as water heater. By turn
ing a single tap at the top of this cylin-
der, water can be obtained at any de-
aired temperature. from tepid to boil
ing. When the electric current is de-
sired for any other purpose, such as
cooking, lighting or running small
electric motor. the current is automati.
eally shut off from the cylinder. When
the cooking is over or the lamp and
motor are turned off, the current auto
matically runs back into the water
heater. By the use of this device the
consumer is able to contract for the reg.
ular and constant use of the same
amount of electric current during the
whole twenty-four hours. So effective
is the heat storage apparatus that less
lhan ten per cent of the stored heat is
dissipated during eight hours From

A Tipjess Curse.

"Talk about the tip evil" said the
Travelled girl. 'Now, last summer,
just before left London, got cursed
awfully. 1t was like this: had tip
ped everybody on the place-the man
servants, the maidservants, the slavey,
the bootblack. Then just before l got
in a cab man up and threw an old
soiled cloth over the wheel to protect
my skirts as l got in. Nobody asked
him. 1t didn't protect my skirts, be-
cause 1t was worse than the wheel, so
I didn't think it was necessary to tip
him.
II wish you could have seen his face.
1t scared me. He swore an awful
oath. Then he said, Il honly 'opes the

didn't go down."-New York Press.

Next Door to IL.

An acquaintance of the late Josh
Billings was one day talking with him
about the remarkable increase of imi-
tations and substitutes for original
articles, as "oleomargarine" for but
ter" "celluloid' for ivory" and so
forth, "and," said he, many Of the
substitutes go ahead of the real thing

tute for everything, though l don't
know about wisdom
"No;" replied the humorist, "up to
the present time at least there Is no
really good substitute for wisdom. But
silence Is the best that has so far
bees discovered"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by focal applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There Is only one
way TO cure deafness, and that is by oonstitu-
ttonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.

you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is

aiken out and the tube restored to its normal

Tho Poor MiIkman.

A family living In an eastern city
found a good deal of cream on bot
tie Of milk which had been standing
overnight, and when the driver called
in the morning the pleased servant
held it up to the light and said, Look
here, have never seen anything like
this before on your milk"
The man looked at 1t for moment,
scratched his head and replied, well,
I don't know what's the matter, but
you can throw 1t out, and I'll give you
a fresh bottle In its place."

SOY BEAN VS.. COTTON SEED.
Seventy Ships Chartered to Supply
European Demands.

New York Commercial.
Out in Machuria they are growing
a bean to compete with cotton seed,
and so Justify does this same bean
grow out there that it was reported
In Vladivostok when August Held left
there on the last trans siberian ex-
press connecting with a steamship at
Hamburg, that between 60 and 70
ships have been chartered to, ship
the beans to Denmark, France, Eng
land and Germany, between the first
of last October and May 1 next.
Mr.. Held has been in Vladivostok
for year establishing an agency
there for the International Harvester
Company and he arrived on the Amer.
ika yesterday. accompanied by w. w.
Couchman, manager Of the company
In Hamburg.
THE Soy bean," said Mr.. Held at
the Hotel Manhattan, "has been men
toned several times in consular re-
ports. though in an industrial way, it
Is an entirely new article. It Is about
the size of the ordinary white bean,
but fiatter and yellow in color. The
soil for the beans doesn't have to be
very fertile and Manchuria is rails
Ing an enormous quantity. They
press the oil out, and this will come
into competition with cotton seed oil
In many ways. The residue, which
they call bean cake, is used for food
for animals and for fertilizer.

the scenery is like that Of Italy or
Switzerland. There are IS American
residents there. some in business for
themselves and some busy looking up
mining and oil propositions and
everything in the way Of an enterprise
that an American goes after. There
are perhaps 900 or 700 Germans,
from rs to 80 Englishmen, a few
French. some Italians and some
Greeks.
"Of the regular population of the
town, about $4,000 are Russians, 90
600 Chinese and from $4,000 to 49,
600 Coreans and Japanese. The gar
rison varies in number but is usually
from 10000 to 10000 men.
Many Of the Japanese around
there do business in small way. The
biggest business men are the Chinese.
In fact, I believe there are more big
Chinese merchants than Russian in
Vladivostok.

THE PECAN NUT.
N Crop Which Brings i'm Much Mon
ey I'm the South.

Certainly the most Interesting spe-
cialty in Southern horticulture at
present Is the growing of pecans,
says a writer in the Country Gentle
man. The writer had pointed out to
him recently by thoroughly trust
worthy man a fine pecan tree in
Raleigh, N. c., which the informant
said yielded 800 worth Of nuts last
year. That is, there were sold from
the tree pecans to the amount of
500, besides supplying the family
with all the nuts they wanted for
home consumption. The tree stood
on an ordinary city lot and would
pass all summer for first class
shade tree. This, Of course, was an
unusual specimen, and to argue from
this single tree to whole orchards Of
pecans bearing 500 worth of nuts
apiece every year would be going in
to the real estate business too hard.
Yet the fact Is significant; and it is
fact further that pecan trees do
frequently make themselves highly
profitable. There are a few CONNER
cial plantations which have actually
succeeded; and more there is q large
promise of more. The business of
pecan growing has been given a

Kicked by The Elephan.

Among Lincoln's circus stories,"
said a Cincinnati veteran, was one
about a Delaware tough.
"A circus, Lincoln's story ran, Wis

to see what sort Of a circus it was.

round, shouted off the guyropes, there.
on the guyropes!' came suddenly on
the town tough. who was leaning
against the canvas tent wall in the
sun, smoking corncob.
'Ye wuzn't talkin' to me, wuz ye
stranger?' said the tough, hunching
up his shoulders very wickedly.
oh, no, SIR said the canvasman
frightened by the tough's size. L only
just wanted to warn you, sir, that
it's little dangerous to lean against
the tent that way, as the elephant
might kick you, sir.
The tough snorted with contempt
'Drat yer ELEPHANT he growled,
I'll clean out the hull show, elephant
an all, If ye give me any of yer lip.
THE canvasman skunk off humbly
and few minutes later went inside
and told the boss. The boss, who
weighed over 200 and stood 6 feet 6
In his socks, chuckled and took up
one Of the enormous mallets used to
drive In tent pegs.
Show me where he's leaning"
was all he said
1.-THE canvasman led the boss to the
place where the tough's form made a
long, oval dent in the tent The boss
chuckling again, fixed his eyes on that
spot, just below the tough's coat-tails.
where the dent was deepest, and
swinging the mallet twice around his
head he struck with all his might.
There was dull thud, a cry Of
pain and fear, and the tough leaped
ten feet, then made off down the road
as fast as he could run.
What's the matter, Peleg?' the
inhabitants shouted as he tore
through the town.

words OF love and peace to his family.
VINO were weeping round his chair.
Among other things, he told them
that he was thankful for that good
ness OF God which. having blessed
him through all his life. was then
permitting him to die without any
pain. Finally, fixing his eyes with
much tenderness upon his dear
friend, Doctor Cobell. with whom he
had formerly held many arguments
respecting the Christian religion. he
asked the doctor to observe how great
reality and benefit that religion
was to man about to die.

thing which having never failed him

Speciality in Cotton Growing.
(Adairsville Banner.)

When a man succeeds in a special
line the people should know of the
fact. and learning Of 1t they should
investigate the methods and emulate
his example for good.
Some four years ago there came to
our community to gentlemen, Mr..
Nathan Smith. Of Paulding county,
and his son, Henry. who was living
In Folk county. Nathan. the elder Is
now SO years old, Henry is 81. They
live about two miles north of town,
on the Ruben Gaines farm.
These gentlemen have made a spe-
cialty Of raising corn. They have
studied closely all the methods Of
corn culture, and have succeeded so
we'll that their corn crop is sought
after by seed men. This last crop
has just been shipped to one of the
South's leading seed men. and the
corn raised here will be distributed
over the United States.
In 1908 1000 bushels were sold,
the last crop. 1909. amount to g.
263 bushels when 1t was shelled and
sacked. They have over 500 bushels
yet on hand.
These gentlemen believe in raising
all the necessities at home. Nathan
Smith has povar hougbt t,,t IN I,,.A
els Of corn. and Henry has the record
Of buying only 80.
Not only do these men have corn,
but make 1t a point to raise all the
meat for home use and some to sell
They have 2,6S3 pounds dried and
ready for use now.
Cotton they regard as a surplus
crop. The past season they raised IL
bales of cotton, which they sold at
13 to IA 1-2 cents per pound.
They go in for diversification and

IL does the Banner good to give
praise to the Smiths and We hope
that others Of our farmers will take
up diversification and especially the

How Patrick Henry Died.

For centuries the world has ad-
mired the calmness and fortitude Of
socrates In the presence of death
but If Socrates died like a philoso-
pher, Patrick Henry died like q
Christian. In his last illness. all 9TH
er remedies having failed, his physi-
clan, Doctor Cobell, proceeded to adj
minister to him dose of liquid mer-

and looking at 1t for a moment. the
dying man said:
II suppose, DOCTOR. this is your last
resort?"
II am sorry to say, governor, that

What will be the effect of the
medicine?"
1T will give you immediate relief,

sentence.
His patient took up the word:
You mean, doctor. that it will give
relief or will prove fatal Immediate
ly?"
"You can live only very short
time without it," the doctor answer
ed, land it may possibly relieve you"
Then the old statesman said:
Excuse me, doctor, for few min
utes," and drawing over his eyes a
silken cap which he usually wore, and
still holding the vial in his hand, he
prayed in clear words a simple child
like prayer for his family, for his
country, and for his own soul. then
in the presence of death. After
ward, in perfect calmness, he swal-
lowed the medicines.
Meanwhile Doctor CobelI, who
greatly loved him, went out upon the
lawn, and in his grief threw himself
down upon the earth under one Of
the trees, and wept bitterly. Soon.
when he had sufficiently mastered
himself, the doctor returned to his
patient whom he found calmly
watching the congealing of the blood
