The mere suggestion Of such an in
ycniiOn opens up fascinating POSSIBLE
flies. A professor Of the University
Of Cincinnati. in scientific romance,
once told Of a metal boat which, at
the mere pressure Of button, would
move forward with tremendous veIoc-
ity. The invention. he explained, had
simply TO utilize for purposes of
locomolion the currents of magnetic
force which flow steadily through aud
round the earth. Ordinarily those
currents flowed through the substance
Of the boat without affecting it. BY
pressing the electric button, the i'll
yenter instantly caused prc-arrange-
ment of the molecules Of metal where.
by they impeded The magnetic or earth
force. whereupon that force swept the
boat along with it as gale sweeps
leaf.
Can it be that he loresliadowcd such
an invention as that of Bloomfield?
Is space simply vast reservoir of
power which nothing but ignorance
keeps as from utilizing, and which will
be turned to human use long before
the carth's stores of fuel are exhaust

Blue Earth county is shown by the
annual report issued by Robert w.
Hargadine, state fire marshal, of fires
in this county during the year ended
December 81, 1915. q"
There were fifteen fires during the
year and the loss was $3.50, 1926. This
is greater, both in the number of fires
and in the aggregate losses as COM
pared with 1914. In that year the
losses in Blue Earth county was $16,-
103, and the number of fires reported
twenty -four.
However, the number of fires and
the aggregate loss for the past year
shows that just little more care in
the elimination of fire hazards and {
little more general appreciation of the
need of fire prevention will place this
county in the ranks of those whose
losses were reduced during this year
