PRofkssok Six j. J. THOMSON deliv-
ereQ the first OF setirs OF addresses on
.Radian, Energy and Matter" at the
ROYAL Institution 10 London few days
ago. He said:
The amount of energy sent 10 lis
from the sun is larger than many peo-
pIe realize. 1t has been shown by
measurements that when the sun IS
shining in 4 clear sky il transmits to
the earth power which corresponds to
1000 horsepower per acre. At present
this power IS practically wasted, and
generally warns those places where an
addition 10 the temperature could be
0ell dispensed with. If ne knew how
TO harness this power We could by low
eiing the temperature Of the earth a
degree or so, obtain ell the power nee.
essary to ran the work OF the world.
There is 40 doubt that in the energy OF
the sun lies a great resource to fall
back upon when other powers are all
used up.
1t is bemildering to contemplate what
Is in store for the coming generation.

che President and Mexico.

Washington, March %. President
Taft today made second protection

taking many of the republican sena-
tors into his confidence iie has at
tcmpted 10 iofetell congressional III
yestigation. Not only has he COMET
red with members OF the Senate com
mittee on foreign relations bat he has
also acquainted a good many other
senators with the facts IN the AleXican
situation these will slowly spread The
truth among their colleages ot the
present threats Of n congressional reSn.
lutiou calling upon him for an ot1iciai
explanation becomes too imminent be-
fore the administration considers il
impedient to give publicity to this coun-
try's attitude toward Mexico.
The International complications il
this tangled problem, according 10 adj
ministration adyiccs, make il i'm
possible for the president to take tie
public into his confidence as to the real
reason for the mobilization OF the troops
in Texas However the administration
realized that the great cost otthe trans
portation Of 10000 troops across the
continent would lay the adminislra-
ton open to severe criticisms II good
and sufficient reason could not br
shown to have existed.
Already the enemies of the admins,
tration ia the Senate are planning an
attack upon the president on this score
and some Of the republican senators
are exhibiting impatience with the
president over what appears to them to
be high handed executive act done
without even word OF explanation
The senators SO far taken into the
presidents confidence are unanimous
in endorsing the presidents action III
ordering the troops 10 the botdet.
They are however all the staunch sup
porters OF the administration and it Is
impossible to tell yet awhile whether
the explanations OF the president &c
them will satisfy the democratic and
many Of the inSurgent senators.
