LAS MARAvILLAS DEL FRO. HI.
PoTESIS DE AMPERE.


Paris. la Academia de Ciencias,
NJ. D'Arsonval ha leido un estudio IN
teresantisimo acerca de las relaclones
del frio con la electricidad, seg1n los
trabajos recientes del doctor hammer
ling Omnes, professor de la Universidad
de Leyde.
He aqui algunos parrafos del mlsmo :;
El genial Ampere habia formulado,
hablando de las propiedades fislcas de
los cuerpos conductores, una hipotesls
que extrano entonces grandemente al
mundo cientifco
Ell gran fisico pensaba que la con-
ductibilidad electrica de los diferentes
cuerpos dependfa de la separation de
sus moleculas Y que era tanto menor
cuanto la separation era mas grande.
Anadia que 81, por un descenso de la
temperature por alg1n otro medic, Sc
lograba reducir esa separation, Sc au-
mentaria la conductibilidad en- proper
clones infnitamente considerables.
FL doctor Kammerling Ommes, pro
fesor en- la Universidad de Leyde, aca-
ba de demostrar xperimentalmente
que Ampere tenia razon.
Utilizando la baja temperature de
los paises licueficados, y EN- particular
del helium liquido, Kammerling Om-
nes pudo realizar un circmto cerrado
con avuda de una bobina de hilo de
plomo muy fno, colocada a la tempera-
tura de IL Kelvin, es decir, 271 gra-
dos bajo cero.
Por induction sc desarrolla una CO.
rriente en- ese circuito, y Sc comprue
ba; suprimiendo ell inductor, que la CO.
rriente inducida sigue recorriendo la
bobina largo tempo, y no pierde mas
que la centesima parte de su intensi-
dad cada hora.
Parece, pues, que la conductibilidad
del plomo asi enfriado es de tai modo
fuerte, que una corriente, aunque sea
debil puede conservarse casi indefini-
damente.
Esto es confrmado por ell experiment
to que sigue:
Una columna de mercurio de un mi
l1metro cuadrado de seccion, larga de
un metro, que la temperature ordina-
ria presenta una resistencia muy ele-
vada, puede, a la temperature de 272
prados bajo zero, dejar pasar una CO.
rriente de 1000 amperes sin acusar la
menor traza de recalentamiento, es de-
cir de resitencia
Este fen0meno del aumento indefi-
nido de la conductibilidad electrical Sc
compraeba Ell todos los metales par
tir de una temperature limitada, que
Kammerling llama la temperature de
la caida. Esta temperature Sc acer-
ca a los confines del frfo absolute.
Las aplicaciones practicas seran con
siderables. Y desde ell punto de vista
te6rico filosofco', en- 10 relative q la
constitution de la materia, el descubri
miento ofrece un interes capital

Washington, Feb. Glad in frocks
of simple creation, representative of
their trades, 400 women workers from
ten eastern states with the intention
of winning the presidents support for
suffrage, We're received by Wilson at
the White House.
They were led by Miss marguerite
Hinchley, a laundry worker of New
York, and Miss Rose Winslow. a
Pennsylvania weaver. These two as
designated spokeswomen appealed to
for woman suffrage by lending his in
fiuence to the effort to, establish a
house committee on suffrage.
X This is. the second time that. Wilson
has been brought face to face with
the suffrage question in an official
way. TIL, president in reply re-
peated the answer given the officers
of the National American Woman Suf-
frage association two months ago. He
made it clear that he personally was
in favor of house committee on suf-
frage, however and so informed a
member OF the house rules committee
who asked his opinion.
The women assembled for mass
meeting before noon. then a big brass
band marched to the White House.
Young girls from the mills Of New
England and older women from the
sweatshops of New York were among
the number. Many of them are spend
ing their first days away from work
in many months.

MINISTER'S NET
This MORNING
TOOK UP MATTER OF "Go TO
CHURCH SUNDAY" FOR THIS
CITY, AND DECIDED AGAINST
TAKING UP THE MOVEMENT AT
THE PRESENT TIME.

Fargo and Moorhead will not at this
time observe the go to Church Sun
day" movement which has been
sweeping the country. according to the
decision reached at meeting of the
Fargo Moorhead Ministerial associa-
ton this morning.
The association, after thorough dis
cussion Of the matter, and after Sc
curing the opinions Of a number of
those who are interested but who do
not attend regularly the meetings of
the association, decided that the senti-
ment in favor of observing the day
here was not sufficiently unanimous to
Justify them in taking favorable action
on it. Accordingly, the matter was
laid on the table and will be taken up
again at a later date.
The pastors of the city are desirous
Of seeing how the movement works
served yesterday in Chicago, and will
be observed in Minneapolis some time
within a few weeks. This great move
ment has swept the country, and it is
said that it has in some cities added
many thousands to the churchgoing
population.
The question Of systematic cam
paign of advertising through the COL
umns of the daily papers was another
matter taken up for discussion. 1t is
the belief of the association that more
extensive advertising in the columns
of the dailies, carried on for a. period
of several months, would be more pro-
ductive of results than the present
policy with regard to church publicity

this morning. In the absence Of Rey.

SECRETARY WILSON TALKS

Washington, Feb, 2.--The president
regards it as universally agreed that
there should be some restrictions to
prevent what is, known as assisted
immigration. The president has not
yet announced his position on the
literacy test feature of the pending
immigration bills and indicated today
that he would not do so Until con-
suited by the leaders of congress.
There is said to be some grounds
for the belief that Wilson, when call
ed on by the senate committee, may
suggest. certain notifications in liter
ary test.
Secretary Wilson, of the department
of labor, informed congress- that he
was not opposed to the principle of
the literacy test. He recommended
making the immigration bill more
drastic in several prospects especially
in regard to white slavery and that
skilled laborers, imported under con-
tract as we'll as unskilled laborers be
barred. .@- , .

CLARK IS
PROUD OF
RECORD

Muscatine, Ia, Feb. Pride in what
the democratic party has accomplish
ed since it came into control of the
government less than year ago, and
confidence in the programme of the
administration to complete the work
OF carrying out the promises of the
party's platform, was voiced here Sat
urday night by Speaker Champ Clark
In campaign speech for Henry Vol
mer, democratic nominee for congress,
to succeed the late Rep. Irvine S. Pep
per.
For sixteen long and wearisome
years, said the speaker, '.all the DEM
ocrats could do was to promise what
they could accomplish if they were
given power. 1t took us all that time
TO convince American people that we
We're earnest in our professions. Now
all that is changed. We can, with
pride and pleasure, talk about what
we have done and also about what we
intend to do.
At the election in 1912 every in
teillgent man within the confines of
the republic knew that if we carried
the election there would be an extra
session of congress and the first great
promise we undertook to carry out
would be that to revise the tariff. We
proceeded as promptly as possible to
the work of revising the tariff down
ward. In my judgment it is the best
tariff bill ever enacted. If there were
no other good features in 1t, the in
come tax section would make it rank
among the very best tariff bills
The speaker defended the caucus
method Of putting the bill through the
house, declaring that republicans, DEM
ocrats and progressives were given
every opportunity to speak and offer
amendments, and that the bill was de-
bated until everybody in the house was
worn to a frazzle.
Referring to the currency bill. the
second great problem disposed OF, the
speaker said the new law furnished a.
substitute for one of the worst cur
rency systems in the world.
1t provides a working scheme" he
continued, for increasing the cur
rency when the increase is needed for
contracting it when the public de-
Imands it. In addition to this it pre-
vents, as far as human wisdom ex
tends, the gambling in stocks and
bonds; it prevents the assembling of
all the money in the country in one
big city and leaves it at home where it
properly belongs; it authorizes the
national banks to loan money on good
farm lands, and 1t is believed and hop
ed that 1t will. to very large extent,
prevent panics
1T is claimed that it lodges too much
power in the hands of the president
and that 1t will not bear the light OF
day. Power has to be lodged some
where. The only question in that re-
CARDS is whether it lis better to lodge

Last Year
CRANE May Be NAMED

Washington, Feb. 2.--Henry M.
nominated and confirmed as ambas-
sador Of Russia. declined the appoint
ment, according to letter to the
president made public at the White
House.
PindelPs letter went into the con-
troversy as to his appointment at
some length In reply to Pindell the
president dictated the following let
| ter:
Your letter does credit to your
delicate sense of propriety and
serves to increase, if that were pos
s1be my admiration for you and my
confidence in your eminent fitness for
| the mission which you now decline.
Il can but yield to your judgment
| IN the matter, because it is clear to
me that feeling as you do, whether
you are fully justified in that feeling
| or not, you would not be comfortable
or happy in the post. Therefore !
cannot insist. You will allow me, how
ever, to express my deep regret. I
know your quality so well and was so
anxious to see you at st. Petersburg,
| that / feel a keen disappointment. --
-" II is only. d very imperfect -consola~
ton that may now again express my
unqualified confidence in your ability,
your character, your discretion and
your entire suitability for such
post"
The controversy over Pindelps
nomination grew out of the publica-
ton of what purported to be letter
from Senator Lewis to Pindell, urging
the latter to accept the post to Russia
for a year, saying he would be re-
lieved Of the diplomatic responsibility
for important negotiations and could
travel freely in Europe. Lewis charg-
ed the letter a forgery.
Bryan later announced that Pindell
because Of business matters could only
accept the post for a year. The SEN
ate committee investigated the COR
respondence and recommended the
confirmation of Pindell.
With the Russian ambassadorship
again open with the withdrawal of
Pindell there is gossip in official
circles of the likelihood Of Chas. r.
Crane of Chicago. being named. Crane
was uppermoSt in the presidents
mind early last year, for the post, but
is understood to have declined be-
cause of the pressure of business inter-
ests. There is an impression now cur
rent that perhaps at the end of year
or two we might be able to arrange
his affairs. Crane lunched with the
president few days ago.

Sir Horace Plunket once said that

only affords such an opportunity, but
it also, unconsciously, introduces a
friendly feeling in a neighborhood. 1t
is something everybody wants to make
a success, regardless of local differ
ences of opinion.
With a knowledge of these basic
facts in mind, as well as an earnest
desire to stimulate an original enter
tainment among people living in the
open country and villages, an institu-
tion known as "the Little Country
theatre" has just recently been found
ed at the North Dakota Agricultural
college,
While it is true that large cities, both
at home and abroad have little theatres
it is doubtful whether another Little
Country theatre, having as great a
mission to fulfill, exists in this or any
other country. Students of the drama
are familiar with the Little theatre in
London, Reinhardt's 1<ammerspiele in
Berlin, the Theatre des Arts in Paris,
the Chicago Little theatre, the Little
theatre in New York City and Phila-
theatres are in the cities, privately
owned, performing a great but much
different function. .-...

twenty feet in depth, having a pros

NO ENCOURAGEMENT.

washington, Feb. 2.-The presi-

the delegation of working women
asking his support for constitu-

women. He reiterated that as lead
er of the democratic party, he was
limited to recommending those
things on which his party had
made UP it's mind. Twenty five
women were received by the presi-
dent.
