 The question vw+ rwo directly to Dr. Charles Protous S.almuz the famous expert. in the hope ,m. le-t.aa whom no one knows morc about might be able if not to tell what is is at least to give a definite idea of what it may be. Dr. Steinmctz replied:
 "EIectricity iS 30 ,n.~r garu. used mis- cellaueouSly iu referring ta a1 matters electrical.

 In a letter written on Dee. l5. lNi5, to c. W. Evclett of Phillips, Me-, Ed- gar Allan Poe in commGutiug on his famous poem, "The Eav6tR" said:
 For the purpose of poetry tt is quite sufficient that a thing is possible, OF at least that the hmprODabiliry be not of fensively gIarug. It is true that in several ways, as you say, the lamp might have thrown the birds shadow on the floor. My conception was that of the bracket candeIawum affixed against the walls. high up above the door and bust, as is often seen in the English palaces and even in some Of the better houses in New York.

MEANY TRACES THREAD
 THAT HELD NORTHWEST

Seattle, July 24-Frofessor Ed mond S. Meany, the historian of !he Northwest, is following Pro lessor Frederick Jackson Turner, of Harvard, in the special course in American history organized for the summer session students of the University of Washington. Where Professor Turner n rapid review outlined the scene, Professor Meany is going behind the scenes in de tail. His lectures began with consideration of Oregon in Amerl- can diplomacy and will take up som of the individuals who figured large In the history of the Northwest.
 "The nations of the world swirl cd in the Northwest" said Pro- lessor Meany, in the opening lee ture of this series. "The Spaniards came northward from Mexico, The English cut in with their world girdling mariners, followed by their fur traders. The Russians swung down from the frozen seas. And the Americans came in the person of the adventurous Boston skipper. The ceuter of the international swirl was Nootka, on Vancouver is land, the only harbor known north of Monterey; for the early traders on this coast repeatedly missed the straits of San Juan Ge Fuca.
 "One by one, the nations were eliminated; Spain, by the supple mental treaty of Madrid in 7195, fol lowing seizure of two British yes sels on the Pacific, withdrew to California; Russia, by a treaty with the United States in 1924, and England and the United States were left to dispute possession of the land.
 ''John Jacob AstOr's fur trading post at Astoria held the mouth of the great river in the race for the Columbia. But it did not flourish, and 1t was just about to pass into the hands of the Northwest con- pany in the war Of 1812-the pa pers were drawn up for signature when the little fort was captured by the only British man-of-war on the Pacific coast, the RaccOon. And that capture eventually saved Ore gon to the United States. For when the treaty of Ghent was signed, a hundred years ago next Christmas eye, there was included an ante bellum clause which stated that territorial rights should stand as they were before the war broke out, which meant, among ether things, that the little post at Astoria was American ground.
 "An artificial transfer again fol lowed, but was superseded by the joint occupation arrangement of ISIS, extended Indefinitely in 1927 when it became plain that actual occupation finally was to decide 1 possession of Oregon.

 Your kidneys are probably weak ened.

 Let one who knows tell you how. H. R. Hatch, 2516 Cedar St., Everett, wash, says: "It is about fifteen years ago that I had kid ney trouble For over a year I was confined to the house and it was i'm possibIe for me to get about without help. I had terrible pains through the small of my back and rheum- atic twinges throughout my body. could not straighten up in the morning without going through all kinds of misery. The kidney secre- tions were sometimes very scanty and then again profuse I dOctOred but was not given the leats bit of relief. Every one of them claimed that I had Bright's disease and that was too far gone to be cured. Just at that time Doan's Kidney Pills came to my attention and I gave them a trial. I began to notic a change in my condition right after taking the first box. Grad uaIly the symptoms left me. I be- gan to Timber up and I was able to get around after taking ten boxes. I was at last my natural self and free from all trouble. It is now fif- teen years since I was cured, and [ can say that I have had no troubl since.'

PEAT POWDER AS FUEL.
Used In Locomotives on
Swedish Railway.

Successfully Used In Locomotives On
Swedish Railway.
Owing to the fact that Sweden has
enormous peat deposits many attempts
have been made during the last few
years to invent and develop devices for
utilizing these deposits. Many expert
ments have been made in stocking sta
%tionary engines. and the results have
apparently been satisfactory. Quite
recently experiments have been made
in stocking railway engines. and it is
claimed that these efforts have also
been crowned with success.
The heating power Of Swedish peat
is such that l.S tons Of clod peat are
equivalent to one ton of English steam
coal. A young Swedish engineer has
been conducting the experiments with
railway engines under official control.
With a device invented by himself he
has made trial Stockings with pulver-
lied pea! on one of the state railway
engines with coal and peat simultane-
ously and has even made 1.3 tons Of
peat do the work of one ton Of coal.
The fuel economy achieved in these
experiments Is explained by the fact
that less air is necessary in the CON-
buStion Of pulverized peat than in stok-
ing with clod peat.
AS II result Of these tests peat pow
der stoking has been introduced on the
Halmstad- Nassjo railroad and the Kal.
mar railroad. besides which the Swed-
ish state railways have procured a trial
railway engine for peat powder stok-
ing. The Finnish government railways
are now constructing four railway en-
gines to be- stocked in this manner
