nomena of electro-mapnetism.

nomena Of electro-mapnetism.
A. 1S31-Faraday announced his
epoch making discovery that electri-
city can be produced from magnetism;
a discovery upon which the construc-
ton of every electric dynamo depends.
Then followed Pixii, Elias, Hjorth, Pa
cinotti, Siemens and jacob with ap-
plications Of Faraday's experiment
until in 1870, steam engine driven dy-
namos became practical.
Epoch Of Utility
A. D. 1S70-Gramme Lentin, Wal
lace, Farmer, Brush, Thomson, Hous-
ton, Burgin and others announced
systems Of illumination by electric
arc lights. AS early as 1873 factory
in Paris was permanently lighted by
electricity, but the great popular
movement dates from 1878.
A. d. 1S79-Edison, whose name is
now synonymous with modern theory
and practise, produced the first prac-
tical incandescent lamp with COM
plete system for its use. The first CEN
trail station employing the Edison
system" was erected in London in
1882 and was followed by two de-
velopments by Mr.. Edison in 1882, one,
the first central steam station in the
United States, in New York City, and
the other, hydro-electric station OF
twelve and one-half kilowatts capa-
city at Appleton, Wisconsin, which is
to be the first practical ap-
plication of water power in the cleo
trio lighting field.
This is merely the briefest outline
the long trail of discoveries
leading to the utilization of electricity
for purposes of light and power. Since
1882, when Pixi made the first dyna-
mo, the size of electric generating un-
its has increased to the present maxi
mum of 10000 II. p. and, in the United
States alone is now over 20,000000
II. p. of generating capacity installed
IN central stations, representing an
aggregate investment of over $4,000
100, 900. Today the central power sta
ion represents the heart of the mod
srn industrial community; and the
men who blazed the way TO this con-
umation deserve the respect and ap-
,reciation of the generation which
benefits from their many years Of pa
lent research.

Can you imagine flock of spar
rows making their home on an eagle,
the eagle doing the long distance fly
ing and the sparrows hopping on and
off while in the air, making short
skirmishing Journeys and safely re-
turning to the carrier bird?
Something like that Uncle Sam Is
planning for his aeroplane service. A
giant airship is now under construc-
ton for the Army. 1t will be equipped
with twelve small fighting aeroplanes
which can tape OFF, and return to
the mother airship while the latter Is
moving through the air.
Experiments at Mineola, L. l., which
until now have been kept secret, have
been successful. In these expert
ments a large ring is placed on the,
upper ring OF the aeroplane and a
hook on the bottom Of the airship.
The aeroplane flies below the ship
and at the same speed so that 1t is q
simple matter to engage the ring IN
the hook and thus suspend the plane.
Three OF these airships have been
contracted for by the Army.

SEEK TO BUILD
UP EVIDENCE ON
SUICIDE THEORY

Granville, \. D., April 27.-Argu-
mcnts to prove that the dead man
committed suicide and that he had
previously taken or attempted to
take poison. and the circumstances
surrounding locked door and the
disposition of keys to it probably
will feature the trial sof Mrs. Ursula
Smith Of Granville, who was bound
over to the next term of McHcnry
county district court on the charge
Of first degree murder in connection
with the death of her divorced hus-
band, John H. Smith. =
Such trial features are indicated
by tactics pursued by Mrs. Smiths
counsel at the hearing which result
ed in her being bound over.
Smith was found April 9, last, in
his locked house An analysis of the
contents of his stomach was made
by the state laboratory at the state
university, which reported that
enough strychnine was found TO
cause death.
= No term of McHenry county dis
trict court is scheduled this sum-
mer, and the case probably will not
come to trial before fall. Mrs. Smith
is at liberty under a continuing 49,
600 bond. -
The defense has intimated that it
will seek a charge of venue from Nc
Henry county because of alleged
high feeling against the defendant
here.
At the hearing here in motion
picture theatre, Mrs. Smith was
present during all the proceedings.
With her was her mother, the
Smiths seven-ycar-old daughter, and
a woman friend.
Alive Late Night Before
John Heath. az, Granville livery
man, testified that the last time he
saw Smith alive was on April s.,
about 10 p. m. Heath said he saw
Smith through the window, standing
in his (Smith's house, and that as
far as he knew. there was no one
with him.
Heath said that earlier that eve4
ming, about 7 p. M, he had seen
Smith and the latters divorced wife
standing on the back steps of the
Smith residence, in conversation,
which he did not, attempt to over
hear. =.

saw Smith on Sunday Dcrning, that
he mentioned nothing About any do
