Electricity From the skies.

Very little more is known OF atmos-
pheric electricity than Franklin dig
covered in Philadelphia in June, 1852,
when he proved that the electricity
OF the air and the electricity OF the
laboratory are one and the same Va
rious devices have been made for
measuring the force Of the current in
the hope that it would assist in fore
casting the weather, but the magnetic
envelope that apparently surrounds
the globe and wraps it with a network
of currents is still a battling mystery.
The report, therefore, from Madrid
that Spanish physicist has sue
ceeded in reaching out into the air
with special apparatus and bringing
back electricity enough to light fifteen
lamps and keep them lighted during
a prolonged test, is Of the highest i'm
portance If true.

MILKING COWS BY MACHINES
New York Station Announces Result
Of Experiment Extending Over
Period of Four Years.

The problem of milking by means OF
machines is still long way from be-
ing solved, but we are much nearer the
goal than five years age, or even a
year ago. More people are thinking
about mechanical devices for tighten
ing the work of tired hands and aching
fingers than ever before.
The New York experiment station
has announced the result of milking
machine experiment which covered
a period of over four years. The ex.
periments show that, including the
time required to get the machines
ready and to wash them after milking,
cows can be MIXED by machine in
1856 minutes per COW, as against seven
minutes for hand milking. A higher
class of help is, however, necessary to
milk my machinery successfully.

The organized farmers of North
Carolina, 10000 strong, are reported
TO be lining up in support Of Congress
man kitchin's attitude toward the
presidents defense plan. From other
parts of the country come stories Of
agricultural opposition to the meas

embattled farmers of the land should
be found to have the whip hand in
the controversy. Yet preparedness
seems sure to pass in some form or
other. The farmers are said to feel
keenly what they term the presidents
"desertion" of his real principles.
A year ago the farmers were applaud
ing Wilson for his peace sentiments.
Now they are objurgating him for his
militarism. 1t is indeed a curious sit
uation, because Wilson as a peace
president is to be the central picture
in democratic campaign literature
and Oratory next year.

was issued November 26 The secre-
tary lays special emphasis upon the
demanded expenditures for national
defense which he sets at about SO
million dollars-and shapes his course
accordingly.
Now, let us suppose that the last
republican administration had been
confronted with a similar problem on
the corresponding day. That is to
say, let us suppose that on November
&c, 1911, the year before the last presi-
Dental election, the republicans had
had to provide for SO million dollars
of defense money-what could they
have done?
They could have paid for it out of
the treasury surplus - which then
amounted to $129,7S7,5 4791 without
levying a single dollar of new taxes.
They would have had some SO millions
left; and each day thereafter would
have shown an increasing treasury
balance, until, year latter, they
would have had more than 55 millions
of surplus on hand. And this result
would not have been produced by any
legerdemain of bookkeeping.
Today the democrats must levy more
taxes because they have spent the
and in another year they themselves
expect to be more than 100 million
dollars in the hole. The contrast is

Nebraska republicans are a re-
sourceful lot of politicians. Their
primary laws permit wide freedom of
action, and to this is due the petition
to put Justice Hughes name on the
ballot. The justice has promptly Or
dered his name withdrawn. But, moth
ing daunted, a group of Nebraska pc
titioners are now trying to put Mayor
Thompson of Chicago on the ballot. In
his home state, Mayor Thompson is
