wIFE's MONUMENT TO HUSBAND.

Iowa City, Dec. 14.-The new Iowa
City Electric Railway Co. passenger
station at Rundell place, Iowa City,
has been dedicated. The structure is
a gift to the public from Mrs. Leroy
Rundell, in memory of her husband,
a pioneer and one Of the foremost citi
zens of Iowa City throughout many
years. The station is built of white
cement blocks and is one of the hand
soonest of it's type in Iowa. The build
ing was badly needed, but the COM
pany's finances were not adequate to
supply the Improvement, and Mrs.
Rundell decided that such a gift
would be preferable to monument
in the cemetery-e especially since her
husband was one Of the leaders in
most of Iowa City's public enterprises.

ELECTRICITY To FIGHT FLIES
Pests That Attack and Ruin
Rose Trees.

The latest application of electric
ity, according to Popular Electricity
and Modern Mechanics, is that Of
killing the green fly by means Of an
electric spark. We read in this mag
azine:
'"This fly is a species found on
rose trees and is exceedingly disas-
trous to the flowers. Heretofore con-
siderable difficulty has been expert
enced in Kidding rose trees Of these
pests, but the electrical method re-
Gently devised is proving both prac-
teal and efficient. Briefly, the fly
killing apparatus consists of small
spark coil, spark gap, high-frequency
transformer, switches and other ac-
cessories. A flexible conductor con-
veys the current from the high-fre-
quency transformer to brass-ball
electrode fitted with an insulating
handle so that it may be held with
out danger of shock. To use the
apparatus the electrode is brought
near the flies on the rose bushes. A
spark then jumps from the electrode
to the tree and kills the flies, the cur
rent passing through the tree to the
ground without damage to the leaves
or flowers"

PEACE HERO PASSES AWAY
Bishop Tucker, After Remarkable Ser
vice in Uganda, Is Gathered
to His Fathers.

Another great name, worthy to
stand with those of Harrington,
Pilkington and Mackay, has been
added to the roll of the heroes of
Uganda, in the death Of Bishop
Tucker, who went out in 1890 as
bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa.
That vast territory has since been
divided into three dioceses, Of which
Uganda is one. Artist and athlete
before he decided to enter the
church, he brought an unusual COM
bination of qualities to his chosen
lifework, and when, after several
years Of service in the home church,
he offered himself for the foreign
work he was recognized as a man of
exceptional power. After p years
of effective service he was retired
for reasons Of health in 1911, and
since that time has been one Of the
canons of Durham (England) ca
thedral One of the most dramatic
episodes in his missionary career &C.
CURED in 1892, when Bishop Tucker
had the bones of the martyr Bishop
Harrington exhumed and given
Christian burial outside the great
thatched church Of st. Paul on Ma
mirembe hill, Uganda, and the slay-
er of Bishop Harrington, King
M'wanga, was present as member
of the Christian congregation.

HAS LEAD IN MINERAL FUELS
United States, by Virtue of Its Re.
serves, Has First Position in
Industry and Commerce.

In its reserves of mineral fuels the
United States holds an impregnable
position as a world power in indus
try and commerce. Our production
OF coal overtops that of any other
nation, and, in fact, nearly equals
the combined output of Great Brit
ain and Germany, the nations that
rank second and third. Inasmuch as
the United States leads the world
not only in coal production but also
IN low cost of coal mining, and ap-
parently possesses the greatest re-
serves, it follows, as was pointed out
by Campbell and Parker in 1908,
that foreign countries will obviously
look more and more to the United
States for their supplies of coal. The
lower cost of production in the Unit
ed States, which is due largely to
the favorable location of the coal
beds and the extensive use of mining
machines, is offset in Great Britain
by the proximity Of the coal mi%es
to the seaboard. The wages paid in
the United States are higher than in
any country Of Europe This coun-
try's pre-eminence in the produc-
ton of petroleum is even more con-
spicuous, so that the opportunity for
exporting mineral fuels presents no
immediate problems for the domestic
producer.-United States Geological
