HIS HEART in CALIFORNIA
Peculiar Comment of Iowa Boy That
Is Put on Record by Los An
geIes Newspaper.

An Iowa family had located in sum
nv California and were very happy
with their surroundings, but the moth
er noticed, with regret, that her young
son had lost all interest in his native
state, while she wished him always
to remember lovingly the land of his
birth. One day, calling him to her,
she said:
"Son, sit down and listen while !
reud you rew lines from a speech
delivered at Des Moines, Iowa, by DR..
Newell Dwight Hills, pastor Of Ply
mouth church, Brooklyn" (who had
also been an Iowa boy).
The mother read: young man,
don't leave your state thinking there
is a better country in the East or
West. God Almighty smiled when he
made New York and Seattle, but he
laughed outright with his blessing
when he made Iowa."
The lad, springing to his feet,
shouted, Him, I'll bet God just roared

Serving Dinner.

With the help of this suggestion
women who do their own work and
have a good deal of company can ar
range things so that with the aid of
their tea wagons they can serve four
course dinners without getting up
from the table or leaving the room.
The cold dessert has presented many
a problem, as well as the hot main
course. One way to keep things hot
after they are ready for the table is
to put the serving dishes into a home
made "fireless" fixed up for the pur-
pose. Line a large candy box with
asbestos and paint it white. Tightly
covered, things keep hot in it for fif-
teen or twenty minutes, giving time to
get the first course out of the way.
When you do not need this box to
keep the main course hot, use It to
keep the dessert cold. It delays the
melting of ice cream, for instance.

Good Use for Idols.

A missionary in Travancore, south
ern India. saw one morning a native
coming to his house with heavy bur-
den. On reaching it he laid on the
ground a sack. Unfastening it, he
emptied it of its contents-a number
of idols. What have you brought
these here for?" asked the mission.

taught us that we do not want them,

taken. They sent the idols to bell

ALASKAN RAILROAD

Soil Survey Shows Agricultural Con-

worlds markets by the construction
of the recently projected government
railroad one which may be less well
known, hut which is by no means the
least valuable is her soils.
Experts f:om the Bureau of Soils OF
the United States Departmen OF Ag-
riculture, recently have made an ex-
animation of the soils over a large
part of the Alaskan peninsula. the re-
suits OF which are soon to be publish
ID by the Department in a report enti-
tied 'olion ecnRS' s. .byo
tied soil Reconnaissance in Alaska,
With an Estimate of the Agricultural
Possibilities
The report describes the soils and
conditions influencing agriculture in
three broad areas. the Cook-Inlet-Su-
sitna region. the Yukon-Tanana re-
gion, and the Copper River regions.
As promising agricultural section
the Cook-Inlet-Susitna region is the
most important, although the Yukon
Tatana region comprises some of the
best agricultural soils in Alaska. In
the former region a soil type mapped at
the Knik loan, under the scientific
classification adpoted by the Bureau of
Soils, covers a total area of nearly O.
600 square miles.
1t is an excellent soil for the pro-
duction of potatoes, a large number OF
vegetables, grain, native grass, le-
gumes and flowers. The soil is easily
titled and is now used for wide va
riety of crops Potatoes yield over
two hunderd bushels per acre. EARLY
varieties of oats and barley produce
large yields of grain Wheat and rye
mature and all the. small garins give
good yields of hay.
Other soils OF the three general re-
gions are described in detail. together
with the climate, topography, drain
age, settlement, industries, ,transporta-
tion and other factors affecting agri-
cplture. In general. conditions are
favorable over a vast territory for the
development of the stock raising and
dairy industries, and the most promis-
ing line of agriculture seems TO he
that which will center about dairying.
1t is pointed out in the repor; that the
development of successful and pro-
litable agriculture in this region is en-
tirely possible, but depend upon the

Calculation of Strength OF Electric
Currents.

Probably the most accurate method
for the determination of the value of
the strength of an electrical current i'm
absolute measure is by means of the
Rayleigh current is by means of the
current to be measured is passed in
series through two parallel circular
coils of unequal radii, one OF which is
suspended from beam of balance.
The distance between the planes of
the coils is varied until the force of at
traction between the two soils is
maximum. and the value of the force
is obtained by adding weights to the
other arm of the balance until its
equilibrium is restored. Since the
maximum force obtainable depends on
the ration of the radii Of the coils aline
and not on their individual dimen-
sions, it is only necessary TO determine
further the ratio of the radii of the
coils, and this may be done with great
accuracy by electrical means.
The constant of the instrument, that
is, the maximum force per unit cur
rent for the coils in question, has been
obtained in the past by Interpolation
between values of the force, calculated
for various assumed distances of the
coils, in the neighborhood of the crit
ical value for which the force is a
maximum. For, although the general
formulas of Maxwell and NaCaoka yive
the value of the force for any two
given coils, at any assumed distance
with great accuracy, no formula has
been heretofore published for calcu-
lating at what distance the force be-
comes n maximum.
To supply this lack there is derived
in paper just published by the Blu
reau of Standards. Department of Com :
mence, entitled "The Calculation of
the Maximum Force Between Two Pa
lalel, CoaXial, Circular Currents a
formula which gives the critical dis
tancc as a function of the ratio of the
radii. The latter part of the paper is
devoted to the development of methods
for facilitating the calculations. The
formulas are illustraed by numerical
examples and tables, and the new for
mylas are shown to give results in
agreement witbthose derived by more
indirect and laborious method of in
terpoliation. Copies of tho publica-
lion may be obtained of the Bureau of
Standards, Washington, ID. c.
