Escorted Her Anvwav.

While Robert Browning and hi>
son Barrett were living alone in
Florence the son gave n afternoon
an exhibition of his new paintings
in the family drawing room. 10
Mr.. Browning was assigned the task
OF meeting the guests. Late in the
afternoon, when the room was well
TILED, there appeared at the draw
ing room door a woman whose face
was familiar. Yet Mr.. Browninn
could not recall her name, and he
judged from her appearance that
she was not an invited guest.
There was embarrassment on
both sides for a moment, and then
the woman said eagerly: "Oh.
please, Mr.. Browning, I'm the cook.
MIR: Barrett said as | was to come
and G his pretty pictur's."
Whereupon Mr.. Browning. Offering
his arm, showed her about the room
with all the attention that he could
have bestowed upon a re- gning
queen.

MEASURING ELECTRICITY.
The Terms That Are Used and Who
They Were Named For.

The five terms used in measuring
electricity we're all derived from the
names Of the five greatest pioneers
in electrical development; but,
strange as it may seem, none of
these men had anything to do with
the discovery of the particular unit
named after him. The names were
arbitrarily affixed years later to per-
petuatc the names Of the pioneer
electrical geniuses.
The term volt is derived from the
name of Alessandro Volta, an Ital-
ian, born in 1745. He was one Of
the first men to try to harness cleo
tricity, yet he died without the
knowledge that a volt" was the
pressure necessary to force one am
pere Of current through a conductor
having n ohm resistance.
Likewise, Andre Marie Ampere,
father of the science of e%lectro-dy-
namics, never knew that an ''am-
perez was equal to the number of
volts of pressure divided by the
ohms of resistance. lie was born
in France in 1915.
George Simon Ohm was the au-
thor Of what is known as Ohm's
law, now universally recognized as
the unit for measuring the resist
ance of electricity, but it was not
until years later that the unit of re-
slstance was named after the Ger
maj physicist. The number of ohms
is computed by dividing the number
OF volts by the number Of ampcres.
With either of the two units
known the third can easily be found.
likewise, electrical energy is as cas-
lily figured. The watt indicates the
amount Of electric energy being
used when n ampere of current is
flowing under a pressure of one volt.
The watt is derived from the name
Of James Watt, the man who really
invented the modern steam engine.
Without the principle Of the steam
engine, however, electricity as a mo-
tive power could not do the power
full tasks it daily accomplishes.
Michael Faraday made the great
discovery of magnetic electric cur
rents, the principle on which ali
modern dynamos and transformers
are constructed. In recognition OF
his great work scientists have nam
cd the unit Of electrical capacity thu
This unit of capacity will
contain n ampcre of current at
one volt pressure for one second Of
time.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

PERIL IN HOUSE CLOTHS.
Those Used For Wiping and Cleaning
Are a Menace to Health.

The dish wiping cloth, even the
barred variety, which is sometimes
dignified by the name Of "tea tow
el," is in bad repute. Ever since
mar began to look through the mi
croscope and think in terms of the
microscope its fate has been sealed.
Only when freshly washed and
boiled and used in clean hands to
wipe the rims Of already sca]ded and
drained dishes should a wiping cloth

carried on the arm of a waiter and
used to polish a plate or wipe up a
table, it belongs to the dark ages,
hygienically speaking.
In all dishwashing the household
should more and more approach the
practice of the laboratory where
glassware and porcelain are washed,
rlnsed in boiling water and placed
to drain. No cloth, no matter how
well known its antccedents, should
be allowed to touch them, for thev
are now absolutely clean and must
remain clean.
In cleaning toilet articles the
bathtub and the wash basin it should
be remembered that ordinary clean
ing cloths belong, like the scrub
bling brush, to the early coarser
process. The final cleaning must be
by hot water only. Whatever comes
in contact with any body aperture
must be free from all possibility of
bacterial contagion.
The common bathtub has doubt
less frequently been a carrier of dis
ease germs from one person to an
other. Before use, however clean it
may look, it should be scalded out
and not dried with any of the cloths
ordinarily given over to the purpose.
Treated as it too often is with
any old scrubbing cloth or brush
that may happen to be handy the
bathtub in a. great many homes is
never really clean and its germ lad
condition makes it as serious a
menace to the health of the house
hold as the dish wiping cloth.-Ncw

The Moba In Servia,

Servlan peasants help each other
by mean of an institution known as
the moba. A man who has not
hands sufficient to pillow or reap his
farm calls in the moba-that is to
say, invites all his neighbors to come
and help him. He pays nothing for
this service, providing only generous
supplies of food and drink, but when
any of them apply for the moba it
is understood that he will take his
turn.

had been uncessful in efforts to inter

the prospect doubtful for the payment
even of its expenses. AS system of
rock reyetment was required by the
Yuma Valley reclamation project, the
engineers decided the material could
be placed economically only by use of
a track laid upon the levee which pro-
tects the Yuma Valley from the over
flow of the Colorado River. Work was
begun April 8, 1914 and the first spike
driven May l of that year. The an
nual summer of 1914 delayed CON
struction work but it was completed
to the Mexican boundary in February
1915. The line is 251a miles long in
cuding sidings.
Equipment of the road consists of
a gasoline motor car bearing in bold
letters the inscription: United States
Reclamation Service, Yuma Valley
Line" The car carries 20 passengers
and makes regular trips daily to the
boundary and return from Yuma. A
ontract has been made with a trans
continental railroad for joint use of
tracks at Yuma. Carload shipments
destined for the Yuma Valley are ta-
ken over by the reclamation service

regulated by the interstate commerce

Authorities on the geological side
Of oil have been secured from all
oil centers of the state, and many
prominent men will also speak from
other states. More than a score of
addresses will be made by practical
biologists, and the great majority of
the addresses will cover oil problems
within the state, and eXpositions of
oil conditions in other states and
in the big fields of Mexico.
An effort will be made by the lead
ing geologists of the state to warn
those interested in oil finding against
many so-called "geologists" who make
their money as consulting geolo-
gists, and who, being wholly incom-

CHOCTAN
PAYMENT IS
ENDORSED.
SSIONER SELLS ENDORSES
PER CAPITA PAYMENT TO CHOC-
TAW AND CHlCKASAW IN
DIANS.

! Washington, Jan. 6.-At a recent
session of the subcommittee of the
| house committee on Indian affairs
Congressman Carter inquired as tC
the attitude of the Indian office con
cerning payment from their funds
to the Chickasaw and Choctaw In
dians of Oklahoma and in response
Commissioner Sells authorized the fol
lowing statement:
The books of the Indian office
show that on Dec 10, 1915, there was
in the treasury of the United States
to the credit of the Choctaw nation
Oklahoma, the sum of 1880, spoil;
and in banks in Oklahoma to the
071,733.13, the total Choctaw tribal
fund being $7,433, ,353.24. The boows
that on said date there was in the
treasury of the United States to the
homa, the sum of $77S,471.51, and in
banks in Oklahoma, to the credit of
said Chickasaw nation, the sum of
$1,143, ,63S.97, the total Chickasaw tri-
bal fund being 1892. .110.4S, the ag-
gregate fund of the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations being $9,354 463.72.
The deferred payments on the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw tribal lands here
tofore sold approximate $6,O0OO0O,
and the estimated value of the un-
sold land and other property of said
nations approXimates $16,149, ,491.23.
Thus the total funds and other prop
erty of the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nation approXimates $31,5O3,9 ,95495.
Twenty thousand seven hundred
and ninety citizens Of the Choc-
taw nation are entitled to share in
any per capita distribution of the
funds of said nation, and 6,30t en-
rolled citizens of the Chickasaw ma
ton are entitled to share in any per
capita distribution of the tribal funds
of that nation.
"For the purpose of further carry
ing out the Atoka agreement with
the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes
