A HUMANE R. R. AGENT
). P. o'conneIi, at Warren, Helps Dis
trsssed Father Who Has a Very
Sick Son.

A Crookston travelling man tells The
story from Warren which deeply
touched several eye witnesses Of the
generosity and confidence in human
nature exhibited by j. p. O'Connell,
the Great Northern agent at Warren.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hanson, OF Lin
coin, n. D., had brought their young
son TO Warren for medical treatment.
The physician consulted there said he
could do nothing for the lad, and ad-
vised that they take him to Rochester
and consult the Mayos without loss
Of time
The father took the little one to the
depot and there told Agent G'Connell
his plight. He had only brought
enough money along TO take him to
Warren and back. He had no money
in any bank. but said he had some
grain he could SELL but to wait would
imperil the life Of his son. Agent
O'ConnelI listened thoughtfully, reach
ed his pocket book in his inside vest
pocket, counted out s25 and gave it to
Hanson, saying. Send il back when
you can. hope the little boy will get
well have one about the same age
at home and It would be terrible TO
lose him."
Hanson's eyes filled with tears as
he tried 10 thank his benefactor, and
the three travelling men grabbed for
their handkerchief and blew their
noses as they FASTENED to the plat
form to walk down the gulp in their
threats. Word comes from Rochester
that the little Hanson boy stands a
good chance for recovery following an
operation.
The deed was on Characteristic Of
the man and explains his great popu-
Iarity at Warren and with hundreds Of
people who have known him during
his long and successful service in the
employ of the Great Northern.

Names In Electricity.

Electricity is the one branch of sci
ence that honors the great names In
its fundamental Technology. Andre
Marie Ampere was the French physi-
cist who first measured the current
and for whom the unit is named. The
ohm bears the name of George s.
Ohm, German man Of science who
discovered the law on which the unit
of electrical resistance is based. The
volt is named for the Italian Volta,
the greatest electrical authority of the
eighteenth century, who was the first
man to construct rude electric bat
terry. The farad. the unit of electrical
capacity, is named in honor OF the
English physicist Faraday; the colomb,
the unit of quantity. for the French
physicist Coulomb, and the watt. the
unit of power, for James Watt, the
Scotch inventor who improved the
steam engine.

the earth, and it's density is about the

Venus is probably the same as in our

phere may be Of composition such
as enveloped the earth when in the

is still open. If it is ever established
that the planet Venus is inhabited IL
will be less surprising than IL the same

planet, owing to the similarity In
many respects Of Venus and the
