TRACTION FLOWING IN WEST
Among Advantages 10 Fact That
Work Can Be Rushed When Con-
dltIons Arc Favorable.

On the large farms Of the great
plains and the ranches of California
traction engines-both steam ana
gasoline-are used to an increasing
extent in farming operations, espe-
cially in plowing land. The make
shift outfits formerly used for this
purpose have been largely replaced by
heavier and stronger engines and
gang plows especially designed for
this use.
The advantages of traction plowing
are Q) that the work can be rushed
when conditions are favorable; (2)
that the work can be done with
smaller force Of hands, and fewer
horses have to be kept; (3) in hot
dry weather engines can be used
when horses could rot stand the
work; az with an engine It is possi-
BILE to plow very difficult soils. and
Also to plow deeper than with horses:
and (5) under favorable conditions.
the cost Of traction plowing has been
brought lower than that of blowing
with horses.
The steam engines weigh from 7
to 20 tons, range from 20 to 80 horse
power, cost from $500 to $4,000. and
will plow from IL to 80 acres a dav
A traction blowing outfit consists
Of (D an engine; (2) the plows or
disks arranged in gangs; and (3)
miscellaneous conveniences for car.
rying supplies. making repairs, etc.
The size and cost of the outfit and
the amount of work 1t will do depend

Repeated complaints convinced the

Facts About Magnetic Storms.

Magnetic storms are disturbances
OF the earth's magnetism manifested
by auroral displays, excitement of the
magnetic needle and interruption of
telegraphic communication They are
often associated with great outbursts
on the sun. 1t has generally been as
sumed that they occur simultaneously
over all the earth. but DR.. l.. A. Bauer
now questions the correctness Of this
assumption. Studying a magnetic
storm which occurred in May, 1902,
simultaneously with the outbreak of
Mont Pelee, in Martinique, he reaches
the conclusion that the disturbance
originated about fourteen degrees
west Of Martinique, and travelled east
ward ABOUT seven thousand miles a
minute, encircling the entire globe
Examination Of the records of other
storms leads him to think that such
disturbances usually travel eastward
but sometimes westward. at the rate
Of thousands of miles a minute, SC
that, in general, they encircle the
earth in about four minutes.

But In the meantime the Panama
Canal will have been opened. and the
efficiency Of the American navy al
most doubled. Up to now the larger
portion Of the feet has been kept in
Atlantic waters. but with the canal
open 1t would be possible to effect d
change OF position in case Of need
without serious delay.
A writer signing himself "Navarch"
emphasizes, In an article on "The Dis
position of Our Fighting Fleet" in the
Columbian Magazine, the importance
of the new naval stations in the Pa
cific. He speaks particularly Of Pearl
Harbor at Hawaii, where naval base
is now being established, and of the
dry dock Dewey at Olongapo. sixty
miles from Manila.
The protection of our Atlantic
coast" he says. lies in feet based
on Guantanamo, and the protection Of
the Pacific coast lies in fleet based
on Pearl Harbor. Both Guantanamo
and Pearl Harbor are ideally situated
In their respective spheres. The form
er Is centrally located with reference
to the Panama Canal and our Atlantic
coast. and fleet based there would
command all the avenues toward the
canal. Hawaii stands in the Pacific
as our outpost, and no power could
successfully approach our Pacific
coast without taking 1t and meeting
victoriously the strong fleet which we
would maintain there"
