GAINS IN TRANSMISSION.
Toronto Mans View of Electricity by
Wireless System.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May l1.-Frank Wy
att Prentice. a Toronto electrical engi-
neer. in an address last night before the
Central Railway Club here gave Some de-
tails OF experience which he declares
demonstrate conclusivefy that electricity
transmitted for power or commercial
purposes by wireless really increases in
velocity and power the farther 1t goes
from the point OF origin.
Discussing the commercial use of wire
less power. Mr. Prentice suggested that
for automobiles and motor trucks receiv-
ing harps be placed on the machine and
wave wires installed at intervals along
the roadway. energy being drawn through
the air TO operate the machines. A ny
ing machine with a small high-frequency
motor could, according to Mr.. Prentice.
nv at a height of 5000 feet and draw sur
ficient power from a wave wire along the
ground. BY q similar device 1t viii be
found possible. he believes, to operate
trains at great saving from the pres
ent cost.

One on His Vacation.

Another of Wallace Twins An Lee
Bung tales. depicting with rare skill the
Chinaman's vacation experiences appears
tomorrow in our Sunday Magazine. In
the springtime All Lee grew lazy. and his
thoughts turned longingly to the shade
and woodlands and ripping streams His
employer gave him $40 and told him to
take a weeks layofY But as the celestial
wandered down the road his steps became
more and more tagging, till he finally
went to sleep beside a brook.
His siesta was rudely disturbed by .
villainous hobo. who took poor Alb Lees
belongings. made him cook a meal for
him, and then held out the terrible pros

pany him about the country as his body
servant. But All Lee was keen one.
and at last fixed up a condition that
brought the most dire change on the
hobo's life. The story is even richer than
the others in its humor. and Is particu-

Rumour is current that If
Champ Clark gets to be pres
ident Dubois will be Secretary
of the Interior while if Har-
mon should succeed in the
fight Gov. Hawley might be
the man who would hold the
distiny Of Uncle Sans domain
in his grasp for some time.
1t is hoped that the state
ment made by a Mexican edit
or, in commenting on the dis
position OF the people OF the
United States to stand by the
man they nominate and not
engage in fighting after cleo
ton, will prove true in cur
case this year. Out Of the
many aspirants for each office
| in the states and nation today
it is a question it the majority
will continue to keep their hat
in the ring after the nonina-
ton and election, as there are
so many more candidates than
there are places to fill on both
the Republican and Democra-
tic tickets that some one is
bound to feel disappointed
when the vote is cast.
1t is a praiseworthy fact
that we have in our nation sc
many men who feel capable
of filling the responsible pos
itions in our government and
it will be much more praise
worthy if, when the people
have madea selection, the loos'
ers will meekly submit to their
choice and show that they are
really big by laying down
and being good till his turn
comes.

Fertilizers are applied to the soil
for two general purposes, 49, to main
tain, and to increase fertility.
Chief among those fertilizers that
are used for maintaining the fertility
of the land is barnyard manure. This
is its main function and just as long
as the principal constituents of the
manure are all derived from the soil
it cannot increase its fertility at
best it can only maintain its fertility.
If, however, the barn-yard manure
is obtained wholly or in part from ex
terna! sources it may increase fertility
Two such cases are plainly evident.
For examples, when the barn-vard
manure is purchased from town stab
les, as is it often done for truck gar
dening near cities, or when it is de-
rived from fertilizing ingredients
contained in oil cake or other concen-
trated feeding stuffs consumed by
stock.
The commercial or artificial fertil-
izers. which have been employed for
good many years, are used chiefly
for increasing the fertility of the soil,
or, in other words, increasing the
productiveness of the soil about its
natural capacity. Although this is
their leading function, they act as
restorative agents whenever they are
applied when barn-yard manure is
withheld.
In general, the restitution of the
fertility of the land is accomplished
chiefly by the barn-yard manure that
is returned to the soil during a given
crop rotation, and the increase in
crops is produced by commercial or
artificial fertilizers.
