S. 8. MCCLURE NOT A SUCCESS AS
AN ORATOR.
Noted Publisher (Only Once) Attempt
ed to Deliver a Commencement Ad-
dress to Class of Sweet
Girl Graduates.

current Opinion relates an anecdote
about the much-discussed career of
S. s. Mcclure, the publisher-an anec,
dote which came originally from the
pen of Marion Macmillan, writing for
the Springfield (Mass.J Republican.
The story reads much better in the
extended form and with the "atmos-
pheric' details employed by Miss Mac
MILAN. Anyway, it seems that Mr.. Nc
Clure accepted, about six years go. an
invitation to make a commencement
address before the graduating class
of woman's college in the middle
West. 1t was a very hot morning, and
Mr.. Mcclure got his hands all tan
gled up between attempts to mop the
perspiration off his face and efforts
to consult the elusive notes with
which he had burdened large manila
envelope.
After several trial shots at quota
tions which didn't sound very appro-
pirate to the occasion, he finally
launched into happy statistics relative
to the increase of crime in the coun-
try. The stout president and the stout
member of the college board, who
were ON the stand with the speaker,
began to wear looks of CONSERVATION,
and the girls began to giggle, wonder
ing what Mr.. Mcclure would say next.
Providentially, he hit upon the sub
ject of his own career and everything
went smoothly for a while. 1t was
but natural that he should branch into
the story of his magazines fight
against adversely in it's younger days.
He was at home on this subject. The
heat was forgotten. So was the au-
dience. But the president and the
member" suffered from the unprece
dented character of the commence
ment address
He had just reached thrilling de-
scription of the wonderful increase
in circulation upon the publication of
Ida M. Tarbells Life of Lincoln"
when he heard a kind of hoarse groan
behind him. In the midst of SEN
tence he turned and asked: "Oh! Is
my time up?' With compressed lips
the president bowed her head three
times, like nodding elephant. Then
said Mr.. Mcclure:
Young ladies, l got switched off
my subject. l was going to talk about
Joan of Arc; but it is too late now.
l am very glad to have met you.
am not in the habit of making
speeches. but did what l could. 1t

ELECTRICITY IN RAIN DROPS
German Scientist Has Measured the
Charoe-Describes Results Of His
Investigation.

Rain drops are almost always
charged with electricity. The charge
Is often positive, rarely negative
Many observers have measured the
charge approximately and made it
from 100000, 900, ,000,O00,01 to OOO0.
100000, 0,000.O0l amperes per square
centimetre. Prof. F. Herath of Kie
describes in the Revue Electrique the
experiments by which he has meas
ured them.
He received the rain on fine me
tallic cloth 25 metres square insulat
ed and attached to q galvanometer in
a cellar. The galvanometer registered
photographically. Among the facts he
proves are these:
Rains with a constantly positive
charge are much more frequent than
those that change to a negative. The
Passage from positive to a negative
charge corresponds to momentary
cessation of the shower The quaint.
ty of positive electricity brought by
the rain is fifteen times greater than
that Of the negative. The positive
currents In steady rainfall are about
100000, 0,000.000.000. amperes per
square centimetre; the negative cur
rents never exceed 100000, 600, 900,
uvl amperel per square centimetre.

WORTHY, BUT DENIED HONOR
Public Benefactors Who Made Dis
coveries In Their Kitchens Are
Unknown to Fame.

Among the sublime sum Of human
ignorance may be mentioned the gen
eral Indifference to our domestic he
roes, the men who have made or
marred our famous dishes. Keen to
honor with trumpet and song the man
who dares greatly with sword and pis-
tol, yet are we forgetful Of the worthy
who first discovered. say, the Irish
stew, says a writer In the Seattle
Post Intelligencer.
Surely a nation is forgetful Of its
great when this name is unknown
and unhonored by worldwide festivi-
ties. And what of him who first
braved the onion and detected Its Gu
linary qualities? His memory has per-
ished Would it not be a beautiful
thing if we could mediate with CRATE
full regard upon the man who ate the
first oyster? We are inclined to harp
too much upon the spectacular and
are prone to slight the great ones
whose self-sacrifice has made possible
our domestic supper joys. When man
first mixed his mulligan did not the
whole tribe put on sackcloth and ashes
and wait with dismal foreboding for
news of his demise by explosion or
expansion or deadly poisoning or
something?
Things that are simple joys to US
must have been historic landmarks to
the age of their inventors. Why is
nothing done to keep green the men,
ory of the doughty zinc-stomached
stalwarts? There should be fitting
chronicle, thus revealing to us of later
days exactly what moved them to
their ungrateful tasks; why. presum-
ing them to be happy men, they should
have felt called to place their life in
jeopardy for the cause Of the cpl
curean?
Possibly it is something that comes
to chosen few, spirits otherwise cast
down and SCARED with losing battles;
perhaps the stew came to its originator
In a vision during the night watches,
and he arose and mixed up everything
he could find and took it, thinking he
would commit suicide, and instead 1t
made him fat and happy But at best
We can only speculate for of records
there Is none.

cannot be successfully divided by de-

can only occupy this important field
by cooperation and coordination.
The efficient country church will

building, in uniting the people in all
cooperative endeavors for the gen.

these results can only be successfully
