I embankment was an endless view OF
spreading cane fields. The Generals
house stood In the midst OF old trees
near half a mile from the river. Lead.
Ing from the landing was a road In the
perpetual shade OF low-branchlng live
oaks. Along the road wild peoples
blazed In patches OF sunlight, and In
the shade glowed the color of darker
blood. In clumps OF feathery grasses
insects sang. while from everywhere
came the low and drowsy murmur Of
the cane.
Drace was enchanted with the scene,
the sweet air. Beside him Shottle
long-legged his way. his neck stretched
out.
"Yonder comes Uncle Howard, the
General" he said.
Toward them, with a slow but firm
and emphatic step, came a tall, spare,
erect old gentleman and as he drew
nearer, Drace saw that he wore a u
tache and whlskers trimmed neatly
down TO a sharp point. The soldier
within him predomlnated. the profess
slonal soldier. who Is often gentler
and more kindly than the volunteer.
Shottle hailed him, and he quIckened
his pace.

Shottle came stumbling over the

Hawkins. With a wink the Major
enjoined a humorous silence. and
mutely they sat attendant on the los

a card. wrote OF 1t, put Ii back into

Its Cause and Effects Are Here
Told in Popular Language

A conductor carrying a current Is
surrounded by a magnetic field. II
the value of the current be decreased,
the magnetic field will decrease. In
decreasing. the magnetic field about the
conductor will cut the conductor and
induce In 1t a voltage. This induced
voltage In a conductor caused by a
change In the magnetic field, which was
produced by the conductor, is called
the electro-motive force of self-induc-
tlon. The direction of the induced
voltage due to self-inductIon is such as
TO oppose any change.

that the French parliament would
vote Immediately all additional 6.000,-
600 francs for financing the Olympic
games. This insures definitely the
holding of the 1924 games in Paris.
