FATHERS DAY.

Fathers Day" has been inaugur-
ated In Spokane. Wash, by Rev. DR..
William j. Hindley. pastor OF a Con-
gregational church. In founding 1t DR..
Hindley said he wanted to give every
body "a chance to speak few kind
words for the old man who surely
needs sympathy" The few kind words
were said last Sunday. and, perhaps,
the "old man" felt better for them.
When the movement spreads through
out the country, as the founder and
his followers believe It will, papa prob
ably Will begin to chirk up and feel
that he is appreciated at something
approaching his own estimate of his
real worth. Mother already has her
day, and its observance, we hope.
brings Joy to her dear old soul, but
father has been rather a negligible
quantity in the household scheme. It
is true he is permitted to provide the
money to pay the bills, but what does
1t profit man to own palatial home
and supply the table with the fat of
the land II he must adjourn to the eel
lar or the back steps to smoke his pipe
or cigar because tobacco smoke is in
furious to the lace curtains he did not
select but had to pay for? Nor does
it add to the joys of his outcast nj
cotinous vigil to listen to the strains
of Everybody Works but Father" as
played and sung by the young hope
fuls amid the comfortable surround
ings from which he has been banished.
Surely father needs a little sympathy.
and perhaps a little more considera-
ton.

Young Couple Learn Telegraph Code
and Mystlfy Girls Parents by
RappIngs on Pipes.

New York.-After a courtship car
ried on by wireless telegraph and COM
munications transmitted over steam
pipes connecting two apartments,
which resulted In an elopement and
wedding two weeks ago, when Anna
belle Rooney, nineteen years of age,
963 Washington avenue, the Bronx. be-
came Mrs. James Connolly, the young
people have returned to the home Of
the brides parents and have been for
given.
Connolly. who is twenty-five years
OF age, was graduated from the Clason
Point Military academy a year ago.
There he learned wireless telegraphy,
and when he returned to the place
where he boarded on the floor above
the apartment occupied by the Rooney
family. he rugged up wireless station
on the roof. Here he taught Annabelle
how to send and take messages, and
this knowledge was turned to Cupid's
account when Connolly asked Anna
bellies parents for her hand. only to
be laughed at as boy by her father.
Cut on from any other communities
ton with each other. the young lovers
exchanged messages by wireless when
Connolly went back to the military
academy to pursue his special Marconf
studies. When he returned, to his
boarding place on the floor above the
Rooney home, he and Annabeile
raped out the language Of love with
the shears on the steam pipes.
Annabelle's father and mother were
nystified by the strange rappings and
when these continued in the summer

Numerous arrests for smuggling
give evidence both that this particu-
larry contemplate torn Of offense
against the national laws IL prevalen,
and that the customs officials in New
York are thoroughly on the Job. Col
lector Loeb started in by making II
clear that he did not intend to sub
5ect passengers on incoming steamers
to unnecessary annoyance and incon-
venience. while at the same time he
should exact compliance with the
treasury regulations. There can be
no good ground for complaint against
this system. The person detected IN
smuggling may be set down as a will
full offender and entitled to no sym
pathy when caught In attempts to
cheat the government.

officers. illustrates the prominent part
women play In navy circles.
Almost everybody knows of the
mutual iii feeling existing between
the navy women and the department.
Every once In a while something hap
pens to widen this breach. Only q
few days ago Ensign Charles M. Aus
tin. son of Representative Richard
w. Austin of Tennessee, was deprived
of an especially desirable berth by the
navy department merely because he
got married. He had been detached
from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the
Washington navy yard and ordered
to Japan for duty as a student at
tache at the American embassy at
Tokyo for the purpose of studying the
Japanese language. On the way to
his new post Of duty he stopped at his
former home In Tennessee and was
married to q girl he had known for
many years.
This was too much for the unro-
mantle departmental authorities, who
suddenly decided that married en-
sign would not make as good q stu
dent Of the Japanese language as q
bachelor. Accordingly his orders
were revoked and inste-l of spending
his honeymoon in Tokyo he will have
less interesting service at the naval
training station on the Pecinc coast.
He will. however. have his wife.

weighed a. Business Proposition
Method Has Justified Itself and 10
Now Being Taken Up on Com
mercial Lines 40 Practical.

London.-In spite of the obstinate
conservatism of the average farmer
much has been done to carry out Sir
Oliver Lodges plan of utilizing cleo
tricity for reinforcing the fertility Of
plants.
Weighed as business proposition,
Sir Oliver Lodges system has justified
itself, and what was tentative and ex-
perimental is now being taken up on
commercial lines a. a practical auxil-
larry Of husbandry.
Lionel Lodge, who has control of
this department of Sir divers work,
has explained the development of the
past year or two and the hope they
AFFORD of further progress.
Have you ever noticed what a re-
markable impulse is given to the
growth Of crops by thunderstorm? ?"
asked Mr.. Lodge. THAT is the effect
OF the strongly charged atmosphere,
and our object is to supply a similar
stimulus systematically.
The growth and development of
plants in the Arctic regions compares
favorably with that in southern coun-
tries, and yet their summer Is very
short and the suns rays have to
travel in such an oblique direction
that much Of their heating power is
lost Why IL 1t, therefore, that the
plants flourish? The explanation lies
In the strong electrical currents which
are passing from the air to the earth,
the effect of which can be seen in the
Aurora Borealis.
The electric current can be gen.
Grated either by small dynamo or
from the nearest supply company's
mains. and by means of q transformer
it Is raised to the high pressure re-
quired (about 100000 volts). The cur
rent from the transformer is more or
less alternating; that is, 1t is not a
steady current in one direction, but
oscillating first in one direction and
then In the opposite. For convenience
we call the current in one direction
positive, In the other negative. It is
the positive current that we discharge

at the spring and fall shootings.
Wolves, pelicans and Wildcats were
