R..pse. IN. Electric Wires.

There Is an old saying that fire is q
good servant but a bad master and this
is equally true Of electricity. Now that
electric wires are being rapidly EXTEND
cd In all sections OF the country 1t Is
important that people, and particularly
young people. he educated to respect
all electrical circuits.
Electricity Is dangerous only when It
ls rushing along natural conductors
under great pressure. such as long dis
lance transmission lines. trolley wires
and arc light circuits. The coming
generation should be taught that cleo

But during this educational work the
youngsters should also be taught that
electricity is not to be tritled with. This
does not mean that electricity should
be Danish ed from the play room of the
youthful workshop. inasmuch as dry
batteries. wet batteries and friction
electrical machines are perfectly harm
less.

OLD RIVER PILOT RETIREs.

With Construction Of ksokuk Dam
Captain Finds His Occupation Gone.
Special to Times
Lansing, July E.-Of the long list Of
rapids pilots there never was one in
this locality so prominent as Capt
Charles H. Ferris. After forty two
years Of river life he has given up the
task and will settle down to quiet life
on well earned competence. I'M
provements In the years past and now
the building Of the great bridge Of
the building Of the great dam at
Keokuk, have rendered their work UNI
necessary and Of little remuneration
Time was when the rapids pilot was
in demand at q very remunerative SAL
airy. Captain Ferris undoubtedly made
more money plotting than any other
man on the river. He was engaged for
the Diamond Joe line and while these
boats always had the preference he
would occasionally make quite a little
on the side in plotting others. He re-
ceived q monthly salary Of $500 from
the Diamond Joe. Captain Ferris knew
the rapids of the river like a book.
Thousands Of boats have been guided
by him down the stream and never has
he had an accident. It il claimed that
Captain Ferris has the most extensive
collection Of Mississippi river steam
boats in existence.

advantages that city offered as q

Reward IN. Navv'. inventors.

Standards of ethics vary in different
callings as to the right Of a discoverer
to pecuniary reward Tor his insight or
logical inference from data newly dis
closed. On the Theory that mechanic
or m manufacturer Is entitled to monopoly
rights as an inventor, modern states
have built up a body Of formal law and
judicial decision formidable in its pro-
portions; and individuals and corpora
tons in some cases have gained huge
fortunes. On the principle that there
are some kinds OF knowledge where
from monopoly and profit are not per-
missible. certain callings have built up
codes forcing fullest publicity and free
use Of an discoveries.
The question becomes difficult in the
case OF employees of either corporations
or governments, where the compensa-
ton given is supposed to be adequate
to pay for the entire thought and ac-
tivity of the subordinate. When the
claim is made on the part of the en-
ployer that he has a right to the dis
coveries Of the employe. or when a gov
eminent insists that all of the profit
from its servants talent in perfection
Of mechanism shall go to the nation or
to the public, they run counter to a
feeling that in the average man Is deep
seated He covets something other
than fame. He wishes a share at least
of such pecuniary reward as follows his
insight or ingenuity.
This fact has at last been recognized
by the United States naval officials
Hereafter seamen and officers operat-
ing the intricate mechanism OF a mod
ern fighting craft will be allowed to
submit to an expert board all devices
for improving ordnance used and all
inventions applicable to the working
of vessel, knowing that IL any are
found suitable for use and superior in
design or efficiency they will be ac-
cepted on the basis of royalty for the
proponent. This pecuniary incentive
will doubtless move many thoughtful
men to action. The higher code may
still have its adllerents among Annapo-
lis graduates or others who. like Major
Squier, the expert in transmission OF
information by telegraph. telephone.
and wireless, are pleased to give all
and take nothing more than their off,
cial rank demands in way Of salary:
but share for tho inventor in the
benefits OF any device that facilitates
or economies seems 70 be no more
than fair and right. whatever his po-

Large Sum Found in Private Recop.
tacis-Deatt, Now Believed Sure.
Council Bluffs. July 17.-The safety
deposit box Of Horace E. Fallers, the
motor company toll collector who Is
believed to have been murdered on the
night Of July 3, was opened Saturday
afternoon by Col. c. G. Saunders, at
torney for Mrs. Fallers who has been
appointed Administrative of her hus-
bands estate. Cash ard negotiable Sc
curities amounting to about $4,000 were
found in the box.
The opening of the box has removed
almost every possible suspicion that
Fallers is still living. II under any
circumstances he should have decided
to disappear it is highly improbable
that he would have left this amount
in the box.
Another effort to find the body of
F'alers will be made by a party Of

In the party will be Constable S. E..
