determined by Sir W. ThYnson was TO IN
sulatc a living plant, such as grass, from the
earth. place it at these different heights, and
connect one wire of his measuring instru-
ment TO it and the other wire TO the earth.
His results were rather astounding at first.
At height of nine feet he found a difference
Of four hundred and thirty volts, or approx
matelv fftv volts to the foot, at the Isle ol
Arran. Other places Of course showed Slight
variations.
A peculiar thing about this atmospheric
electricity is that it also varies with the
time Of day, being at its greatest at about
eight A. NJ, and from eight 10 nine p. NJ, IN
summer, and ten A. NJ. and six p. NJ. IN WIN
ter, and lowest about three p. NJ. and md
night. This indicates that it IS highest Just
when we have the greatest change OF TEN
pcraturc and when the evaporation ana IAN
Of dew are greatest. Some interesting points
were discovered in making these observa-
tons An east wind always raised the posi-
tive or plus clcctriiicatiOn; while when ram
ing the potential of the atmosphere was al
WAYS observed TO be negative or minus.
In Italv, Professor Palmicri found that
the condition was plus or positive when no
rain, hail, or snow was falling within ninety
five miles of the place Of observation. Also,
if minus was found in the atmosphere, al
though there was a clear sky, downfall OF
some description was sure to be found near.
All the phenomena point to the earth and
atmosphere as constituting a huge Lcydcn
lar. the earth taking the place Of one Of the
tinfoil plates, the higher atmosphere OF the
other. while the intervening comparatively
drv air is analogous to the glass Jar Large
SHARKS have been obtained by sending scv-
eral wires I'D to collect the electricity in the
air and then bringing them almost in con
tact with a wire from the earth.
1t has been noticed that powerful electric
discharges attend volcanic eruptionS and
earthquakes. These are no doubt due to the
enormous amount of mechanical energy cX-
pended and TO the chemical action OF water
tIpon heated and molten rocks. instruments
called microphoneS, if buried in the earth, give
warning of these cruptiOnS before they occur.
One historical incident brought this dis
covery about. During one of the great
eruptions, that Of Mount Krakatua in 1888,
the telephones in Singapore which IS over
five hundred miles away, were rendered use
less for talking great roar similar to that
of a waterfall being heard, occasionally pune
tured with sharp pistol like reports. This
effect was traced as having its origin in a
short length of cable submerged and affected
bv the tremors of the earth.
1t is thought now that cyclones and water
spouts are also electrical in character. Pro
fessor Douglas, of Michigan, has produced an
imitation cyclone in his laboratory by sus-
pending a large circular disk of copper to
silk threads and then charging the copper
with electricity. The result is rather start
ling. As the plate is carried over the table
it whirls rapidly while the threads take on
the well known funnel shape) and picks up
all loose objects in its path.

Little Babies Can
Liue On Milk They
Can't Dig est

Cows milk at best is too heavy a
food for little baby's frail stomach.
Even when YOU change it with great
care, it still holds curds which only a
calf's stomach was intended to di-
gcst.
Babies stomachs can't stand the
rich fats of cows milk, which vary
in richness with almost every quart
of milk YOU buy. You can't be sure
Of always having your baby's food
the same.
Yet. cows milk holds 50 much of the
same nourishmcnt as mothers milk
that it is the only thing from which
a good substitute can be made.

VALUE OF BLAhikETiNG COWS
Practice Adopted in Australia Found
to Give Excellent Results Dur
ing Cold Weather.

For some years past a number OF
dairymen in Australia have adopted
the practice of blanketirg cows dur
Ing wet and cold weather. The re
suits in every case are spoken of as
being highly satisfactory. When cows
are kept warm the food they con
sumo. instead of being utilized to
maintain daily heat, is largely de
voted to the production of milk, and
in this way the dfiryman realizes a
large profit on the very small outlay
required to provide blankets for his
cattle IN cold weather.
Men who have studied the subject
closely say that the effect of covers
on cows is very remarkable. The
quiet cows become more quiet and
contented, while those that are shy
or nervous have their nerves soothed,
and submit of being handled without
fear THIS is no fad of one or two
men, but has become so common
that the manufactures have placed
several kinds of blankets as cover
ings on the markets. with a view OF
supplying the demand that has
arisen.
1t is said, however. that a home
made blanket, made from old wheat
bags. serves the purpose as well as
anything After they have been worn
for a short time they become thor
oughly waterproof

TURKISH STRONGHOLD IN
NORTHERN ALBANIA A MON
TENEGRlN WAR PRIZE.
ADRIAN0PLE SEEMS DOOMED
Defeat of Turks Believed to Be Com

London, Oct. 29.-With hundreds of
its residents lying dead in the street
and thousands facing actual starva-
ton and with it's length and breadth
swept by fire. Scutari, the Turkish
stronghold in northern Albania, was
Sunday a Montenegrin war prize.
The Montenegro bombardment has
continued without respite. The city
has virtually fallen, but the indomi-
table bravery of the Turkish garrison
is prolonging the fearful plight of
those within the city's gates, which
can only end in surrender or annihi-
lation.
London, Oct 9.-Adrianople burn
ing, cut off from the main Turkish
army at Demotika, near the point OF
starvation, was still Withholding its
formal surrender Sunday to the Bull
garians and in so doing is daring
complete destruction.
The Bulgarians are bombardfng the
city from every point of the compass.
Every outpost has been taken and
Bulgarian troops are within the outer
city. Only the inner circle of "a
forts remain intact Practically all
of the public buildings have been
RACED by fire.
Reports from Sofia and Belgrade in
dictate that the Turks have been UNI
able to improve their desperate plight
in the west. The Servians are in
complete control of the cities of
Uskub and Kumanova. The Turks
who evacuated Uskub and permitted
the Servians to take the stronghold
without resistance are reassembling
forces on the adjacent heights await
ing further Servian advances.
War critics declare that the en-
yeloping campaign of the Balkan
allies has succeeded to an extent that
has no parallel in the annals of mod

victory of Importance has been re
corded
Belgrade, Get 2S.-With the cap
ture OF Uskub the main strength of
the Ottoman troops in the province of
Macedonia was broken Sunday. The
Servians, while pushing ahead for
Adrianople, are arming the Macedon-

from the Turks and leaving officers
to drill them.
The Turks were so holly pursued
after tile battle of Kumanova that
they did not stop at Uskub but fed
further south, killing women, children
and old men.

/ In year, evidence is overwhelming
that the COWS should be managed so
as to calve during the autumn months.
/ For like reasons. September is the
best month in most parts of the coun-
| try, for a heifer TO drop her first calf
In order to best develop as a COW.
/ This almost regardless of the animal
at the first calving.
! Calves born in the fall are made
easily reared and make better COWS
than those born in the spring and
| summer 1t seems needless to rehearse
/ the stock argument on the subject,
based on long experience of successful
| dairymen, but a brief recapitulation
may be useful
| The COW or heifer calving in the fall
needs the most healthy and nutritious
pasturage just following the strain
while coming into full flow Just at
this time, when some falling off is
! likely to occur, the animal is brought
to the stable and receives good care;
the winter feeding and the returns
/ from it may be depended upon to ex-
| coed the midsummer results for any
| like period.
AT the stage of milking and gesta-
ton, when another dropping off of the
milk yield may be looked for, the fresh
| pastures induce fresh COW, iengthen
the milking season and increase the
years total product.
! December and January are good
months in which to control and super
wise the service of bull. Midsummer
and the dog days are a good time
/ for the COW to be dry and preparing to
calve again.
! With fall-fresh COWS, the greatest
and richest product comes at the sea-
son when milk and butter are always
comparatively high in price
In actual practice four fall-fresh
cows have been found equal to five
which calved in the spring in 12
months product and az about four
fifths the cost.

Dairy ca YES.

When heifer calf is raised for the
dairy it should be handled and petted
all the way up, and she will seldom
cause much trouble. Our heifers
raised in this way are very tame.
When We put them away to pasture
we go occasionally and salt them, al.
ways endeavoring to give them a kind,
ly pat, and when it is time to take
them home they are easily caught,

ers will take young stock to pasture
and never go near them from spring
till fall. Then when they do go will
take fool dog-made so by having

stock all over the hills TO catch them.

a professional dog was sent for
ten miles away to catch the heifers.

how easily it could have been avoid.

The skim Milk Calf.

s Feeding and raising the calf on
skim milk is not always an easy prop
osition, but have had very good sue
cess. The calf stays with the mother
until the milk is good to use; then it
is gradually changed TO skim milk.
The calf will soon learn to eat alfalfa
hay BY putting little corn chop in
the bucket when the calf is through
drinking it will soon learn to eat it.
Corn will supply the fat that is taken
out of the milk, writes J. c. Fry in
an exchange. Tie calf must have ex-
ereise and is allowed the freedom of
yard and farm. We have the best sue
cess with the fall and winter calves.
Hay is better for the calf than grass.

Marriage.

Marriage is so much use to a wom-
an, opens out to her so much more of
life and puts her in the way of SO
much more freedom and usefulness
that, whether she marry i'll or well,
she can hardly miss some benefit 1t
is true, however, that some of the
merriest and most genuine of women
are old maids, and that those old
maids, and wives who are unhappily
married, have often most of the true
motherly touch And this would seem
TO show, even for women, some mar
rowing influence in comfortable mar
ried life. But the rule is none the
less certain, if you wish the pick of
men and women, take a good bachelor
and a good wife.-Robert Louis
Stevenson.

DEATH DRAWS NEAR
vICE-PRESIDENT SHERMAN DY.
ING AT HIS HOME IN
UTICA, NJ. Y.
END EXPECTED IN 48 HOURS
Relapse Occurred on Friday, October
e, While Slowly Recovering From
illness-Family Assembled at Res
ldence-Patient Is Conscious.

Utica, n. Y, Oct. 30-Waging a
hopeless fight for life against Bright's
| disease and greatly weakened heart,
Vice-President James Schoolcraft
Sherman was at the point of death
Monday. He may survive another
forty-eight hours, but it is improbable
that his greatly weakened vitality can
sustain him beyond that length of
time. At the vice-president's bedside
were Dr. F. H. Peck, his personal
physician, and DR.. William Elsner of
Syracuse, while DIR. Theodore Janeway
of New York city was brought into
| close touch with the consulting ply
sicians by means of the long distance
telephone
Not until Monday night would Doc
tor Peck admit Mr.. Sherman's condi-
ton critical. Sunday night the physi-
clan stated that the vice-president
was resting comfortably. Monday
the fact was revealed that Mr. Sher-
man suffered relapse October rs and
that since that time his life has been
hanging by a slender thread
The secretveness of the physicians
was undoubtedly inspired by desire
to hide the true situation regarding
Mr.. Sherman's illness in the closing
hours of the campaign in which he is
candidate for reelection to the sec
ond highest office in the land.
When the fact was revealed from
an authoritative source that the vice
president was undoubtedly on his
death bed the community was shocked
for none of the local newspapers
printed anything which made plain
the critical condition in which Mr..
Sherman lies.
In the Sherman home on upper Cen
esee street the members of the vice
presidents family are assembled,
awaiting the summons which it is
feared cannot be long deferred.
Doctor Peck announced that his dis
tinguished patient was resting more
comfortably than he had in the pre-
ceding twen ty-four hours but beyond
this he made no statement. The vice
president suffers greatly from his af-
lection of the kidneys and his inabil-
.ty to breath. Stimulants to ac-
celerate the heart action are frequent
ly administered and remedies to allay
the constant agonizing pain are also
given at safe intervals The vice
president is perfectly rational and
bears his intense sufferings with
fortitude.
Mr. Shermans illness dates from
last spring, when by direction of his
Washington physician he left the ma
tional capital and returned to his
home in this city in hope of restor-
ing his shattered health. With the
exception of periodical gains which
generally ended in relapses his fight
has been hopeless one from the
start.
At 1870 o'clock Monday night 1t
the vice-president was resting COM
fortably.
Doctors Peck and Elsner issued the
following statement on the vice-presi-
dents condition:
I'm answer to the many inquiries
from all quarters the following state
ment is made:
after consultation tonight in case
of Vice-President Sherman the
diagnosis of weak heart muscles, the
result of overwork. with some kidney
involvement is confirmed"

FALL FRESH COWS ARE BEST
trolled, Animals May Be Managed
to Suit Owners Wish.
CBy W. H. UNDERWOOD.

1t is a well known fact that by far
a greater number of dairy COWS are
allowed to follow the most natural
course, and either by Indifference or
intention, they freshen in the spring
The producer of milk for sale, if he
has an even trade, may want to have
an even number of fresh COWS in
every month of the year.
If the bull is kept confined and serv-
ice controlled. this can be regulated
as a rule. although unpleasant irregu-
larities in breeding will sometimes oc-
cur and stubbornly resist correction.
But, if the prime object is to pro-
duce the greatest quantity of milk of
the best quality and the greatest profit
