1t is claimed upon good authority
that Twin Falls, Idaho, uses more cleo
tricity for heating and cooking, in pro-
portion to population, than any other
city in the world. A large office build
ing, recently erected, is entirely heat
ed by electricity.
Throughout the northern country
during the past severe winter electrici-
ty was extensively employed to thaw
out frozen water pipes. In New York
City 400 such cases were handled in
one week With the aid of electricity
the pipes can be thawed without dig
ging up the frozen ground.
After many years of research work
tungsten can now be drawn into wire
one-thousandth of an inch in diameter
with great tensile strength. This dis.
covery is of the greatest importance
to the users of electric light as the
new wire is now being used in mean
descent lamps, reducing the risk of
breakage to a minimum.
1t Is quite surprise to a pedestrian
to be walking down a city street on
cold winter morning and see in several
store windows electric fans going at
full speed, just as in the scorching
summer days. These fans prevent the
moisture from settling on the plate
glass windows where it would be
quickly turned into frost and ice, thus
obstructing the sales value of the show
windows.
Safe limits of speed are much higher
in electric operation than with steam
locomotives. The rotative effort is
uniform in a motor, while that of To-
ccmotive is Intermittent and accom-
plished through the medium of heavy
reciprocating parts The moving mass
of these parts as the speed increases
tends to lift the locomotive from the
track and pounds the rails with a blow
which in many instances has been
sufficient to cause derailment. The
limiting speed OF steam trains is about
80 or 80 miles per hour, while speeds
OF 1870 miles per hour have been
reached in test on eletcric trains.

vital problems which confront this

read into his senseless, harmful and
unstatesman like utterance in favor
Ct Canadian annexation.
THE Democrats are not fully alive
to the peril which this Missouri man
with Hearst, his patron, personifies.
Once they awake to the real situation
the speaker, with his houn' song and
his Chautauqua bow, will be swept off
the political map. 1t would be a pity
were the full awakening to be delayed
until after the Baltimore convention
had consummated the bargain between
yellow journalism and yellow politics.
Speaker Clark can never win the
presidency of the United States-even
the suggestion is absurd.
He can never win the nomination
for the presidency unless the Demo
cratic electors have lost at once their
discretion and their common sense.
The Plain Dealer believe they have
lost neither"

WOULD BE SUICIDAL FOR
DEMOCRATS TO name CLARK

Washington, d. c., May 13.-The
New York World has said that it
would be suicidal for the Democratic
party to nominate Champ Clark, and
the New York Evening Post, another
independent paper has said that the
Speakers campaign-if he should be
the nominee-would collapse in less
than eight weeks. The great indie
pendent newspaper of Ohio. the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, in an editorial last
Thursday, said of the possibility of the
nomination OF Mr.. Clark.
Results indicate two methods of
winning a PRIMARY fight-talking per-
sistently and abusiyely, and saying
nothing Col Roosevelt prospers by
the one system and Champ Clark by
the other.
Mr.. Clark has added another state
to his string OF victories. The Bay
State testides its loyalty to the doc.
trine oil political folly.
The speaker, in spite of his mex
plicable success in getting pledged
delegates, is an impossibility as
presidential aspirant. AS an actual
nominee for president he would be the
most vulnerable man nominated since
Greeley As president-were his cleo
tion possible-he would be the weak
est man the White House has seen
since the foundation of the govern
ment
1T is an affront to the American
people even to suggest Clark for the |
presidency.

The spy fever has registered anoth-

ate is German--a Prussian official
and it is Russia that feels here exist
ence threatened by his activities. Ad-
vices from Insterburg, East Russia,
state that Captain Dressler of the
Royal Prussian Boundary Commission,
ventured across the Russian border to
escort the Princess Donna of St. Pc,
tersburg, who had been in East Prus-
STA. On his return he was arrested by
the Russian border police, taken to
wilma and imprisoned The only in
formation vouchsafed by the Russians
was that Dressler is a spy.
The Prussian government has al
ready taken steps to obtain a solution
OF the apparently peculiar circum-
stances Of the case.

Following mistake in the use of an
anaesthetic, which caused the death
Of a schoolboy about to undergo a
minor operation, Sister Gertrude
Waneck, veteran nurse at the ROYAL
Hospital here, committed suicide by
injecting into herself a portion of the
same poison which had just killed her
patient.
The lad, Willy Rieger the fourteen
year-old son of a veterinary surgeon
at Koepenick, had been taken bv his
mother to the Clinic for Throat and
Nose Diseases of the Royal Hospital
to have growth In the nose and on
the tonsils removed.
A half per cent solution of a drug to
be used as a local anaesthetic, was &C.
cidentally overturned and spilled inst
as the surgeon was preparing to ope-
rate and in hurriedly renewing the
supply Sister Gertrude took 1t from
bottle containing a twenty per cent
solution Of the same drug, kept in the
same closet and differing from the
bottle with the weaker solution only
In the label.
When the Injection with the con.
centrated anaestheic was made the lad
stinened out and died almost instant
ly. AS soon as the nurse realized her
mistake she became frantic and before
she could be prevented had admins
tered from the same syringe a fatal
doze to herself. In a quarter of an
hour she was dead. Public opinion
blames those responsible for keeping
together the two easily confused bot
ties quite as much as the unfortunate
nurse.
