Measurino Electricity.

The terms volt, ampere, ohm, watt and farad met with in works on cleo. tricity, mean very little to most people The volt is the unit of electrical pres. sure, the ampere the unit of current strength, the ohm the unit of resist. ance. the watt the unit of electric pow CT. and the least of all known, farad the unit of electrical capacity.
 Current strength is determined by di. viding the pressure by the strength; thus the number of amperes of current strength is equal to the number of volts divided by the number of ohms. The watt indicates the amount of electric energy being used when an ampere o1 current is flowing under a pressure of one volt. However, the term kilowatt or 1000 watts, is more generally used The unit of electrical capacity, the farad, will contain one ampere of cur rent at one volt pressure for one second of time. The farad is divided into 6 million equal parts, each part termed the microfarad, and this is the term most used in stating electrical capacity

Mines of Nevada.

Nevada is a Spanish word meaning snowy" or "white as snow," and the name of the state, says a bulletin of the United States geological survey, was derived from the Sierra Nevada. The state ranks sixth in size in the Union. Its length from north to south is ASA miles, its width 321 miles and its area 1O9.S21 square miles.
 The history of Nevada is chiefly the history of her mines. Since the discov- cry of the Comstock lode and other fa- nous ore bodies periods of activity and. prosperity have alternated with periods of depression. Each discov cry of high grade ore in noteworthy quantity has been followed by rapid settlement in that locality and the es tablishment of one or more towns.

BRITISH EMPIRE MOURNS
LOSS OF LORD KITCHENER

Westminster Abbey to be attended Dy
King George and all the representa-
tiyes Of the government
There was a meeting OF the CABINET
this morning to discuss the situation
brought about by the death of the sec
rotary OF war, upon whose shoulders
were borne the duty of conducting the
military establishment of the empire.
Flagh were at ha1f-mast everywhere.
Silent throngs filled the streets dis
cussing the tragedy.
Blame German Wasp.
DESPITE the secrecy attending the
visit of Lord Kitchener to Russia, the
belief is growing that the German al
miralty was notified Of the proposed
trip by spy and that the Hampshire
was blown up through some agency OF
Germany, perhaps a submarine.
Insistent demands are being made
by the newspapers that more rigorous
treatment be accorded enemy aliens IN
the British Isles.
The question of Lord Kitchener
successor was one of the chief topics.
The three names most consplcuously
mentioned were those of Sir William
Robertson, chief of staff of the British
army, who was designated as acting
war secretary in the absence OF LORD
Kitchener; David Lloyd-George, the
minister Of munitions, and Lord
Derby. who was put in charge OF the
recruiting when that burden was taken
away from the war office.
It is believed that the total death
list in the destruction of the Ramp
shire will be nearly seven hundreo
as the sea was so rough tnat the
small boats launched after the ex
plosion could not live.
Among the victims were the 1olio"
ing notables, who we're accompanying
the war secretary: Colonel {. A. tltz
gerald. military secretary to Lore
Kitchener; Brigadier General Eller
shaw. of the ministry of munitions
Sir Frederick Donaldson, OF the ora
nance department; Lieutenant X u
Macpherson, of General EllershaW
staff: Lieutenant Robinson, aide &c
camp to Sir Frederick Donaldson, ano
Hugh O'Bafrne, of the foreign ONCE.
Army Mourns for Week.
Following the order issued by klns
George. the whole British army mas
zone into mourning and will remain In
mourning for week.
Ever since Monday night, "nen the
tragedy occurred, the admiralty mas
been making a search off the orkney
islands for the bodies of Kitchener ano
his staff Parcel boats nave secured
the coast, and search parties nave
combed the beach.
Despite the power and prestlse OF
Kitchener his death will have no Ell
feet upon the military situation OF Eng
land, it is declared in official clrcIes
The empire will continue to battle az
vigorously as ever against the enemy.
But it is evident from the attitude OF
the press and the public, that feel
ing of deep depression has followed.
The newspapers all eulogize Kltch
ener, especially the Times, which has
been one of his severest critics.

HARDING BRINGS LAUGH
WITH HIS REFERENCE
TO DEMOCRATIC NOTES

CHICAGO, June Senator HARD
ine's appeal for preparedness for ma
tionaI defense met with round OF ap-
plause When he reached MS appear
for party solidarity his every Woro
was hung on to by the delegates. Iney
listened most intently:
This is not the time for recrlmlna-
ton. It is the day of reconstruction,
was an epigram that also seemed 10
please the majority Of the delegates.
The chairmans declaration that
everything is abnormal except the de-
pleted condition of the Federal treas
ury which is characteristic OF Demo
cratic control and the facilities OF the
administration for writing notes with
out effective notice was followed by
the first genuine laughter of the day.
Announcement that the Republicans
believed sincerely and sobery IN ade-
quate national defense pleased the del
egates and they cheered the sentiment.
I'VE ought to have navy that fears
none in the world" was another dec
laration that brought the delegates to
their feet with shouts Of approval.
AS Chairman Harding got farther
and farther into his speech the dele
gates began to warm up and the ap'
plause became almost continuous.
We proclaim Justice and we love
peace and we mean to have them
and we are not too proud to fight for
them" was emphasized by Senator
Harding and was greeted with the
longest applause Of the speech to
date.
The end of Chairman Harding s
speech was seemingly welcome to the
