Il wish you would tell why this name
was chosen
This name was a direct outgrowth of
our intention of developing an interna-
tional business. My experience in the
New York Lifes Insurance Company had
been that our agents abroad had found
that If they were able to call their firm
an international life insurance company
the international carried more weight
than New York. This determined our
choice of the word international in the
harvester company"
Please state the basis on which the
international was organized

unmistakable warnings that should not

and treating the kidneys upon the first
sign of disorder, many days of suffering

TODAY

Rise! for the day is passing,
And you lie dreaming on;
The others have buckled their armor
And forth to the fight are gone;
A place in the ranks awaits you,
Each man has s1me part to play;
The past and the future are nothing,
In the face of stern Today.
Rise from your dreams of the Future.
Of gaining some hard-fouyht field;
OF storming some airy fortress.
Or bidding some giant yield
Your Future has deeds of glory,
Of honor God grant it may;)
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or the need so great as Today.
Rise! if the Past detains you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No chains so unworthy to hold you
AS those of vain regret;
Sad or bright she is lifeless ever;
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson,
OF nobler strike Today.
Rise! for the day is passing;
The sound that you scarcely hear
Is the enemy marching to battle;
Arise for the foe is here!
Stay not to sharpen your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last
When from dream of coming battle
You may wake to find it past.

A Wind That Scorches.

The name "harmattan" has been
given to dry, hot wind which peri
odically blows from the interior of
Africa toward the Atlantic during
December, January and February.
1t is accompanied by a fog or dry
haze, which sometimes conceals the
sun for weeks together. Every
plant, every bit of grass and leaf in
its course is withered as though it
had been scared by heat from a fur
mace. Often within an hour after
the harmattan begins to blow green
grass is dry enough to burn.

ELECTRIC BATTERIES.
How They Are Constructed and Why
They Wear Out.

The electric battery generates a
supply of electricity by chemical
action. 1t differs from the magnetic
or dynamo, which generates cleo
tricity from mechanical energy sup
piled by the engine. When this
chemical action ceases the supply
of electricity ceases and the battery
is worn out.
All batteries consist of three es-
sentials, the two metal plates and
the chemical solution. The plates
are called electrodes, and the chem
ical is the electrolyte. Dry batteries
are dry in name only. If they were
absolutely dry they would not work
at all. The only difference between
a dry battery and wet battery is
that in the former the electrolyte is
in the form of paste and in the
latter it is a solution.
The action of all batteries is
about the same, regardless of kind.
The plates usually consist of zinc
and copper, or zinc and carbon. The
chemical may be diluted sulphuric
acid, blue vitrol or a pumber of 9TH
er chemicals. This chemical solu-
ton attacks and destroys the zinc
plate when the circuit is complete.
When the circuit is broken the
chemical action ceases and conse-
quently no current flows. When
the circuit is completed the chemi-
cal Immediately attacks the metal
plates. 1t eats up or burns up the
zinc plate. This action produces
energy. Some of the energy is
wasted in heat, some is changed
into electrical energy which flows
out over the wires to ignite the gas
oline charge in the engine or to do
other useful work for mankind,
such as ringing the doorbell, send
ing telegram or carrying speech
over the telephone wires.
When either of these metal plates
is destroyed or the chemical has
so changed itself by combination
with the metals that it will no
longer attack the plates the chemi-
cal action ceases. Therefore the
electricity ceases to flow out and
over the wires.
Ordinary battery cells soon polar
ize and cease to work. This means
that the metal plates become cover
ed with film of Insulation material
such as hydrogen gas, so the chem
ical action cannot take place. This
also stops the electric current. NJ
merous chemicals are put into bat
teries to offset this polarization.
When these polarizing agencies
cease to perform their duties from
becoming exhausted or otherwise
the battery will not work, even
though the plates remain intact and
seemingly are good as ever they
were.
But there is no remedy for a
wornout battery. Dry batteries are
so incased and covered with insula-
ton that it would absolutely de-
stroy one to try to remove the
plates. The job would not be worth
the trouble. 1t is easier and cheap
er to buy new batteries.-Electrical
