MISTAKES OF SCIENTISTS
Faraday and Airy Made Errors About
Submarine Gable and Newcomb
About Aeroplanes.

Sir Humphrey Davy's dogmatic pro
nouncement against gas lighting is
not the only instance of clever scien-
fist being hopelessly wrong. The
early history of submarine cabling
furnishes two striking examples. Con
suited on the scientific side OF the
project, Faraday asserted that the first
cables were made too small Then he
said that the larger the wire, the
more electricity would be required to
charge it," and in this quite wrong
opinion he was supported by other
eminent electricians. AS a result OF
this dictum the current was increased
until the operation literally electro
cuted" the wire and the cable broke
down. 1t was Lord Kelvin who by
sending messages through heavy ca
bles with incredibly weak electric cur
rents proved that Faraday was mis-
taken.
Sir G. B. Airy submitted the pro
5ect to mathematics and arrived at
the conclusion that cable could not
be submerged to the necessary depth,
and that If it could no recognizable
signal could ever travel from Ireland
to Nova Scotia. In aviation Professor
Newcomb, one of the cleverest math-
ematicians America has produced.
who died last year, declared that he
had automatically investigated all
the conditions operating against the
heavier than air machine and was con-
WINGED that the aerop,ane would never
be more than scientific toy; and the
possibility of an aeroplane motor be-
ing reliable in the reduced atmosphere
pressure above 5000 feet was by sew
eral experts said to be out of the ques-
ton few months ago. Drexel's car
bureter was certainly bit erratic
above the clouds last week, but he
rose to an altitude of 6750 feet.

ALL COAL WILL
BE WEIGHED NOW
Meeting Of City Fathers and Fuel Deal
ers Last Night to Settle Several
Questions.

At the meeting of the ten coal deal
ers of the city and the city commits
sioners last night in the council
rooms, a discussion as to the matter
of weighing all coal sold by dealers
to patrons, was brought up. For the
greater part, these coal men have
been having the fuel that they sold
weighed, but there were several who
seemed to have forgotten the ordi
nance requiring this.
The commissioners are today taking
up the matter of reducing the price
of weighing, to ten cents for every
load of coal instead of every ton, the
matter being explained in brief but
thorough form in these columns last
evening.
The meeting of the coal dealers
and the city officials was friendly
one and it was merely to get together
on several matters needing attention
that the controversy was held.
Word has been received in the
city of the death of Frances L. Bis
bee wife of c. P. Bisbee, at San
Diego, which occurred on September
90. Mrs. Bisbee was a native of New
York, former resident of Keokuk,
and was 6S years of age at the time
of her death. Mr.. and Mrs. Bisbee
would have celebrated their fiftieth an
niversary on November 30, of this
! year. The deceased was born in
Geneva, New York, March rs, 1872
ard was married on November 20
4 1860 in Keokuk. The family moved
to California in 1890 Mrs. Bisbee
was the mother of G. l.. Bisbee ano
Mrs A. A. Sparks and LIrs. j. N

What's in a Book.

For the student every book is now
book Of reference. What student OF
continental history reads Gibbon. or
Gregorovius. or Symonds right
through? He is not even exhorted to
do so. He secured handbook which
refers him to certain chapters in a
certain volume of each, and that salts
fies him and the ordinary university
tutor. Green, Bright, Hallam, Macau-
lay, Gardner are similarly pecked at.
Yet all these men had definite ideas
and comprehensive views of the pc.
RODS of which they were writing
views which it took them one or more
volumes to expound, and which we are
not going to appreciate by reading a
dozen pages every fifth chapter.

Encourage Laughter.

laugh abound A good hearty laugh ex-
pands the chest and makes the blood
bound merrily along. Commend me
to a good laugh-not to little, snig-
Cling laugh, but to one that will
sound all through the house 1t will
not only do your child good, but will
be a benefit to all who hear, and be
an important means of driving the
blues away from a dwelling. Merri-
ment is very catching, and spreads in
a remarkable manner, few being able
to resist the contagion. A hearty
laugh is delightful harmony; indeed,
it is the most pleasing OF all music"
