UNIQUE EXPERIMENTS.

Are some rays Of the sun better
for some crops than others? Are
some actually harmful? These are
questions to which answers are being
sought by scientists of the Smith,
sonan institution and the department
of agriculture. Many years ago the
issue was raised by the late Profess
sor S. F. Langley, formerly of Pitts
burg, and from that suggestion the
government scientists have been ex-
perimenting for years on a work that
is absolutely unique. The success of
the observations made at the observa-
tory on Mount Wilson, California, if
confirmed by observations elsewhere,
hold out the hope that the knowledge
Of the variations Of the solar heat
thus obtained will enable the weather
bureau to forecast weather that will
be almost infallible. The department
of agriculture has hopes, too. that if
exact knowledge of the part of the
sunshine that is most beneficial to
certain crops is known this knowl-
edge can be put to practical purpose
with incalculable benefits.
1t is a fascinating problem and so
startling that description of the
work accomplished and what is ex-
pected to be gained, will be eagerly
awaited. If, as the scientists hope,
the sun can be put under a course
Of scientific management, as it were,
whereby his life-givtng forces can
be controlled for the highest efficien-
cy, it will mean tremendous thing
for mankind. Speculative as the the
ory seems at first thought the ex-
perts believe there must be some
thing in it and the efforts of the

ARRANGING THE COUNCIL CHAM
BER.

1t is to be hoped that when the
council chamber in the new city hall
is arranged, some Difference will be
paid to the usual arrangement of
desks for a deliberative body Instead
of the members of the council being
strung along the two sides of the
chamber, as is the case now, the
desks should be grouped in a body
SO that each member would face the
presiding officer. Such an arrange
ment would not only add dignity to
the body but would enable stranger
visiting the council, to determine who
are members and who are not-a
rather difficult matter under the pres
ent system.
Attention should also be given to
the convenience of the press. The
auditors desk should be directly in
front and below the desk of the pre-
siding officer, so that the auditor
would face the council. In front of
this should be provided a permanent
table for the use of the press. This
arrangement would enable reporters
to get clear and reliable accounts of
the proceedings, thing that the pub
lie expect and demand both of the
press and the council.

NEW SURGICAL MARvELs

: DR.. Alexis Carroll of the Rockefel-
Ter Institute for Medical Research
contributes to THE Journal Of Ex-
pcrimental Medicine" an account of
an operation he performed which he
thinks justifies the assumption that
diseased organs may be removed and
replaced in humans. The experiment
was performed in 1908. the subject
being a dog from which, under either
the kidney was eXtirpated and wash
ed with solution. An hour later
the organ was replaced and circula-
ton re-established. The dog lived
for two years and half, finally dy-
ing of violent collie of the small in
testine, while the kidney and other
organs appeared normal
From a surgical standpoint the op-
Grafton is pronounced a great sue
cess. The detail that the canine pa
tient later succumbed does not de-
tract from professional satisfaction
with the operation itself. Indeed,
there have been suspicious that in
the cases of some human patients
operations that were pronounced re-
markably successful from surgical
point of view failed to furnish any
satisfaction to the patient for the
sufficient reason that he or she was
dead. Similarly the grating of or
gans of which Dr. Carrel is quoted
as holding out the hope while, if pos
sible, a marvellous triumph for sur
gerry has very practical drawback.
Where is the operator to find the
healthy organ that is to replace the
diseased one that has been removed? Z?
Even il an unfortunate is willing to
surrender a kidney for million or
two, what is he to do without his
own? Is he to be given the diseased

STATE BOOSTERS At DULUTH

SPEAKERS.
Northern Minnesota Development As

Convention.

Duluth, June 1.--lmbued with the
spirit of boosting Northern Minnesota,
more than 1000 delegates. represent
ing the upper half OF the state, entered
Duluth to attend the fourth annual
meeting of the Northern Minnesota De.
velopment association.
Every county in Northern Minnesota
is represented with a cotere of dele
gates and Southern Minnesota also has
its delegations on the scene.
The people OF Northern Minnesota
anXiously awaited the address of Gov
ernor Eberhart, with his version of
the real reason for the failure Of the
reapportionment bill to pass the legis-
lature. Governor Eherhart reiterated
his former statements that he did not
promise to call an extra session of the
legislature in case they failed to pass
a reapportionment bill, but that he said
he might do so. The Governor en-
planned that after conference with men
representing Northern Minnesota, and
after he had been told that they did
not expect reapportionment bill from
the makeup of the 1911 lawmaking
body, he decided it unwise to call the
lawmakers together when it was con-
coded that the friends of the bill saw
that there were no hopes of it's passage.
Second only to the speech of Governor
Eberhart is the address of Senator S.
d. Works of Mankato, who probably
did as much as any other member of
the legislature to defeat a reapportion-
ment bill. Northern Minnesotans are
equally anxious to hear his explanation
of the refusal to pass the bill Senator
Works is scheduled to speak on State
allotted to him and to Governor Eber.
