Sandy's Criticism.

A young Scotchman went to Lon don school of music. where he learned to play the violoncello fairly well.

FAIRBANKS MAN FINDS
 FARMING IN ICE BOWL PAYS.

Here are some of the results ot farming in an ice bowl" to quote from an article written by a Boston Journalist, after visit to Fairbanks two years ago this summer. How ever, the poor man did not know whaA he+xas writing about, his main objeAs.1 visiting here being to knock the government railway to Fairbanks anyway.
 A computation of figures and facts connected with the Rickert ranch on the very edge of Fairbanks, shows that 2224 tons of produce raised out of doors, have either been harvested or will shortly be harvested, off of 75 acres of cleared land. The har- vesting will be over shortly apd the produce will be stored in the spacious cellars, root houses and barns at the ranch, where it will remain until it is consumed, and with the exception of shipments of several tons each year to Iditarod, Hot Springs and To- cal creek points, it will all be sold in Fairbanks. Wherefore the question is raised, Docs farming pay?"
 The following is partial list of what was raised this summer at the Rickert ranch, although many of the smaller items are not mentioned:
 60 tons of oat hay.
 tons threshed oats.
 50 tons potatoes.
 30 tons celery.
 30 tons cabbage.
 Is tons carrots.
 10 tons turnips and rutabagas.
 4 tons beets.
 2 tons onions.
 2 tons radishes.
 tons lettuce.
 11h tons rhubarb.
 1h tons parsnips.
 2 tons of miscellaneous vegetables, such as kale, parsley, etc.
 At Hle Rickert ranch there are four hot houses. In these the more delicate vegetables are raised. They produced this year four tons of to- matoes, three tons of cucumbers, and one ton of melons. Together with numberless varieties of riotous flow CTS, both out of doors and in the hot houses, these are the figures of the productiveness of the Rickert ranch this summer.
 Practically all of the live stock to be found on the outside is to be found at the Rickert ranch, but at the pres ent time there are no sheep there. Without one dollars outlay, how ever, all of the stock which is kept there, is fed from the produce of the ranch. It is composed in part of 500 chickens, 30 head of hogs and six head of horses, with 40 geese and numerous ducks.

One of the attempts by the French to
solve the problem is represented by a
searchlight mounted on rubbcr.tired
wheels, and which. wheels and all, is
carried on the rear platform" of an au-
tomobile chassis. Thus the affair may
be dismounted anywhere il desired.

Our War Department is now trying
to improve upon this tower searchlight
by substituting for the supporting struc.
ture light tripod. The idea will be tried
out IN as practical a way as may be pos
sible on the Texas border We may have
to use it in Mexico
1t may be said in conclusion that. while
there are very many purposes for which
searchights may be usefully employed
in warfare under modern conditions, one
or the most important Of them. for the
defensive, consists in Illuminating points
ESPECIALLY detleS) over which attackers
must advance, in order that the latter
may be brought under fire at the earliest
possible moment, and to observe the eff.
feet of the fire.
On the other hand scarchights may
be used to prevent defenders from inn
proving their ntrenchments or other
works under cover Of darkness; TO light
ZIP defensive works or other artillery
targets. and to assist an attacking col.
umn by Illuminating rough ground or ar.
tificia obstacles.
Among other uses of the military
searchlight should be mentioned that Of
confusing the view OF balloonists aloft,
The same remark might apply to aero.
plane observers, but flying machines do
not often ascend in the night time.
Searchlights are kept dark during the
field artillery duel that usually precedes
an infantry engagement. They are used
under such circumstances only after the
artillery fire has ceased, and when the
enemy is advancing.
From what has been said it appears
that the new art Of fighting with light

these new contrivances of warfare are
not to brighten us out of our wits by
mere reason OF their unfamilitarity it is
necessary that our troops shall be spe-
Clally trained in the business of using
such devices. Our soldiers have Gus

1t is necessary that this shall be a
part OF the education Of every recruit in
our army. In particular it is requisite
that our troops of all arms--infantry
cavalry and artillery-shal be provided
without delay with field scarchlights, in
order that an outbreak OF war may not
find them unprepared in one of the chief
essentials for fighting under modern con-,
ditions.
lnyisbility is the keynote of modern
warfare. To win. the fighting man must
not be seen by his adversary. Hence the
development Of night-Gghting Never in
the history OF war has the surprise at
