Briggs are trying to demonstrate is that static
electricity when applied to soil and air Will
stimulate the growth of plants in such environ
ment. There is ample evidence OF the sound
ness of the theory within reasonable limits
Indeed, the benefit that may be conferred by
such electric discharges is illustrated by the
fourishing development (until frostb1tten) or
plants in the Arctic regions where there is, OF
course, mighty little sunlight, but where the at
mosphere is heavily charged with electricity.
Moreover preliminary experiments which were
recently conducted in England along the same
lines that Uncle Sam is pursuing indicated
that there was an increase of 80 to 40 per cent
in the yield of wheat that had been thus dosed
with electricity and the wheat likewise
brought better price per bushel after test
had evidenced that it superior for bread
baking.
The officials of the department Of agricul
ture make it very clear that their present ven
ture in electroculture-as the new activity is
termed-is purely experimental and they make
discover The interesting point is that they
are determined to find out just how much
electricity will do to aid the farmer. They
have made the most elaborate plans, too, for
measuring the influence exerted To this end
the experimental area has been apportioned in
fourteen plots of uniform size and all have
been planted in the good grade of win

Women's Sense of humer.

In an article on women writer's as
humOrtsts In the Womans Home Com
panion Jeannette l.. Glider says:
Some foolish person has said at
some time or other that women have
no sense of humor or course it was
a man who said this. for men don't
know women, though they think they
do. Women know women better, and
they know that the sense of humor is
very keenly developed in their own
sex. Ii 1t were not for this saving
sense women could not stand a great
many of the burdens that are put on
their shoulders. | have in mind a wo-
man whose life was one tragedy after
another, but whose sense of humor
saved her from despair. She would
probably have gone mad If she had not
been able TO see the humorous side of
situations that in themselves were
anything but humorous. So wide
spread has this idea beCome-that wo-
men lack the sense Of humor-that a
great many people come TO regard it
as a truth. but | can soon prove. as
far as women writer's are concerned at
least. that some Of the most humorous
books published today are written by
women"

Scores of men the most prominent po-
litically in the nation will go to the
Democratic national convention to be
held In Baltimore June 25, entnusias-
ticaly supporting the candidacy of
Champ Clark for the nomination for
president of the United States, but no
one of these men will be so enthusias-

feeling as Mrs. Annie Hamilton Pitzer
Of Colorado Springs, sister-in-law of
the speaker and national delegate from
the Second congressional district of
Colorado.
Mrs. PitZer, whose maiden name was
Anne Hamilton Bennett, is a native of
Missouri and lived in Columbia, Boone
county, for many years. Her husband
was prominent lawyer In the state.
and after his death, about twenty years
ago. she and her daughter removed to
Colorado Springs. where they have
lived ever since.
While Mrs. Pitzer desired to go to the
Democratic national convention to vote
for her brother-in-law for presidential
nominee, she also has another purpose
"a very strong desire to show the other
delegates from all parts Of the country
that women who vote and believe in

Requisites of Good Glass Sand.

Sand is the main constituent OF glass,

/ from 90 TO IS per cent. of the finished
! product after melting has driven Oft
carbon dioxide and other volatile mate
rails. On the quality of the sand de-
pend the transparency, brilliancy. and
hardness OF the glass For the finest
| flint ware such as that used for optical
and cut glass, water whiteness," abso-
lutte transparency, great brilliance, and
uniform density are required, and only
the purest sand can be employed, since
slight impurities, especially small guam
titles OF iron, tend to destroy these ef-
fects. For plate and window glass,
which are commonly pale green, abso-
lutte purity is not so essential, but gem
orally the sand should not carry more
than 0.2 per cent. OF iron oxide. Green
and amber glass for bottles, jars and
rough structural work can be made from
sand relatively high in impurities. An
excess OF the chief impurity, iron, is usu-
ally avoided in the quarries by careful
selection of the whitest sand, although
the whitest sand is not invariably the
purest. Repeated washing tends to re-
move the iron. Magnetic separators
have also been resorted to, especially
when the iron is present in the form of
magnetic. Clay materials arc objec-
tionable because they cloud the glass.
Washing helps to remove them, since
they ouecur usually in very finely d.
vided state. Magnesia, which is more
apt to be introduced into glass materials
through limestone than through sand, is
troublesome because it renders the batch
less fusable. In examining sand in order
to ascertain its value for glass making.
inspection with a magnifying glass Is
the best preliminary test. The follow
ing points should be observed The sand
should be nearly white and of medium
hneness (passing a 20 TO 80 mesh hori-

form in size, even, and angular; less
they may be rounded. A sim
pie chemical test consists in heating the
sand in a dilute acid. Effervescence in
dicates the presence of lime; loss of
color shows the presence of clay inn
purities. Iron in the most minute
quantity may he detected by dissolving
sand in hydrotiuric acid and adding po- 1
