In a paper on Ihc anticipated triumph of
electricity during tho next fifty years, T.
C. Martin, in Success for February, de
clares that the farmer, the chemist, tho
miner and the householder will bo among
the chief beneficiaries, while railroads will
discard steam for the third electric rail.
He continues:
"Of course, we shall see by electricity.
The telescope Is a beautiful apparatus, but
antiquated In many respects. It Is not un
likely that the electric heater and electric
fan will be rivaled by mechanism creating
the sensations of coolness and warmth
more subtly. Electricity, while abolishing
many outworn methods find predecessor!)
will, meanwhile, be refining upon Itself. It
will obtain much of Its supply of current
directly from fuel without boiler, engine
or dynamo. By present methods we get
only about 6 per cent from fuel of the
possible energy In it: and our best house
lights have an efficiency of only about 3
per cent. Thcro Ho two great problems for
the twentieth century. Klectrlclty will,
however, furnish economical "cold-light"
limps, In which no stick or filament of
carbon consumes. It will transmit without
tangible circuits. It will help to make tho
balloon as feasible And commonplace as
the automobile, but Its nature b.u. fair to
rest In mystery.
Tho electrical successes of the next
fifty years will dqpend upon men who have
been trained to bo electrlcat engineers and
Inventors. The triumphs of tho past fifty
years have been achieved entirely by men
who have had no electrical education In
their youth and whose mastery of tho five
"c's" of electricity copper, carbon, cast
ings, coal and enscade Is due to their own
efforts.
"It is not rash to nssumo that the elec
trical Inventions near nt hand will at least
equal those of tho past of Morse. Edison
Hell, Siemens, Kelvin. Tcala, Sprague and
others of equal' Intellectual rank In their
respective branches. 'The greater lies be
fore.' "

Electrical progress In the nineteenth cen
tury may bo summed up by the Western
Electrician In one short sentence: Elec
trlclty has been put to work. When the
century began philosophers were wondering
what electricity was. Today the exact na
turo of electricity Is still unknown, but
the nineteenth century has shown some of
tho things that electricity can do. The
apparatus of that time consisted of experi
mental devices used solely by scholars and
s$fWtlf1c teachers. Tho apparatus of the
twentieth century exists In many appllca

Ion of power and even tho humble push
button to realize that among civilized men
there art few who do not receive the bene
fits of applied electricity In the transport
of themselves, their messages or their
goods. In the form of light upon their path
way or In other ways that make for bet
terment In Industrial processes or In .the
refinements of life.
The electrical scientist has not been
superseded; the valuo of bis services Is
realized now aa never before, but tho elec
trical engineer, who follows the scientist
and applies tho results of the arduous
labors of the savant to the Improvement
of existing conditions, has become a mighty
factor in the advancement of the world.
The electrical engineer Is entirely a prod
uct of the latter half of the nineteenth
century.
No one can foretell what the electrical
development of the twentieth rcntury will
be. Mr. d'Albo well says that the eight
eenth century may be called one of elec
tric charges, tho nineteenth one of electric
currents and the twentieth, perhaps, a
century of electric waves. Iloyond this few
will have the temerity to go. That there Is
much to bo done In Improving electrical
methods and apparatus Is certain.

The most unique Idea yet patented, says
the Washington Tost, Is a device by which
every trolley car will he provided with a
telephone. In connection with the main of
fices of the company. The prima object
of these telephones will be to notify the
company In case of a collision or a break
down, though It may enslly be seen that It
will only be a step farther to make these
telephones public and nt tho disposal of
passengers who may wish to call up any
mercantile establishment or friend while In
the car. The perfected patent as Issued
provides for telephone connection only with
overhead trolley cars and In that shape the
device Is already In use In St. Louis. The
same Inventor Is at work on the problem
of the proper connection with cars using
the underground trolley and has already
perfected one scheme, which, on account
of the additional cost, ts not quite feasible.
He believes that underground troUey cars
will soon bo provided with private tele
phones, without the expenditure of any
money for the Installation of another con
ductor rail in the conduit to feed the cur
rent. The telephono is more of a necessity in
the country, where the cars frequently are
miles from a telephono office, nnd as the
overhead trolley poles simplify the problem
telephones can be Installed In such cars
at very little expense.
The device Is of very simple construc
tion. Two telephone wires aro supported,
one above the other, on Insulators attached
to the arm pole, thus rendering the use of
cross arms unnecessary. This telephone
circuit runs the entire length of the road,
with permanent connections to the lino
wires only at the fixed telephones In the
offices or stations. The principal feature of
the system, the pole which connects the
telephone to the line wires, consists merely
of an ordinary fishing pole, the telephone
ccrd running along it In much the same
manner as would the fish-lino to the reel.
Two honks aro fastened to tho extremity
this pole, the distance between them
bring a little less than that between the
telephone wires at their points of support.
The tipper hook has a spiral spring con
nected to It which allows of considerable
sdjustment of the dlstnnce between It and
the lower one. so that If there Is an unequal
sag of the two telephono wires a good con
tact Is iure to be made with both. The
upper hook being placed In position, tho
weight of the pole causes the lower to rest
.securely In place. When not In use It Is
plsced over tho door of the car. The 'phono
attached to these wires is Inside the car,
a' one end.

Tli! mecrssful test of the "third-rail sys
tem" on the bell lino of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad at Ilaltlmore recently, was an
event that has a wider Interest than per
tains to mere traction development. It li
a noteworthy Incident of the "battle royal"
betwoan electricity and steam that Is to bo
the feature of twentieth century progress
In mechanics, It Is true that the battle
began several years ago, but the contest Is
a tame affair compared to the splendid
rlashlng of these motive forces in the next
two decades.
The test of the 'third-rail1 electric motor
system was made In the presence of the
loat.ng electricians and financiers of the
country. A train of twenty-eight loaded
coal cars, together with a heavy dead loco
motive and caboose, were hauled from
Cambden to Mount Iloyal up a steep grado
without difficulty. The biggest mogul
steam locomotive was unequal to this task.
In using two locomotives at onre they were
stalled many times at the difficult curves
In the grade.
Another feature of the test, which was
Interesting mostly to electrical engineers,
was the fact that In this performance of
tho third-rail system a current of only
900 amperes was used, while with the over
head system a current of 1.200 to 1,000 was
required.

Prof. Krone, In making a comparison
Ittwcen the cost of electric power pro
duced by steam nnd gas, has calculated the
expense of tho steam engine, with or with
cut compensation, Including tho Interest,
etc., and tho service. To this he adds the
cost of an electric Installation for 100
horec-powcr. He makes the cost of a
horse-power hour (electric) $0,025, with a
non-condensing engine, and J 0.0'.' I with a
condensing engine. If a gas engine Is used
the cost Is found to bo 10.020 for the samo
unit under similar conditions: the saving
Is thus 16 per cent, based upon the best
of tho steam engines. Prof. Krone de
scribes a small electric station which has
two gaa generators nnd two gas engines
of seventy horse-power each, making 150
revolutions a minute. Tho speed may be
Increased 15 per cent when It Is desired
to charge a battery of accumulators. The
gas engine Is regulated by varying the
quantity of the detonation mixture Intro
duced, the proportion of the mixture re
maining always the same. The gas engine
ruus with great regularity; when one-half
of Its load Is thrown off Its speed docs net
rise more than 2 per cent. These engines
aro connected directly with two direct cur
rent dynamos of four to six kilowatts each.
Prof. Krone's figures show that during one
year the amount of combustible, anthra
cite and coke mixed, which was necessary
to produce one horse-power hour of elec
tric energy averaged about 2.3 pounds.

The electric current is every day growing
more Important in Industry aa new appli
cations for It arc found. Not so very many
years ago about the only practical use
mado of electricity was In lighting, while
nt present It drives machinery of all kinds,
bores holes In nrmor plates. Is utilized In
the pressing of cloth and refines copper.
In an Interesting paper presented at the
recent Congress of Applied Chemistry at
the Paris exposition M. Dupont pointed
out another Important use for the electric
current and set forth at considerable
length the result of his researches on the
subject of the preparation of and the ex
traction of the many kinds of sugar by
means of electrolysis. The clectrolyslc np
paratus which he used In his researches
wns In tho main composed of a wooden
vat divided Into three compartments by
torous partitions; the electrodes were me
tallic plates of various kinds, according
to the results he wished to obtain. The
cicctrlc current employed was from four
teen to fiftrcu volts nnd with a volume
varying from twenty-flve to thirty am
pcres per square meter of tho anode. In
the preparation of sugar from beets and
from sugarcane the Juice Is placed In the
middle compartment of the electrolyzer
and water In he two end compartments.
a plate of lead or aluminum used as an
anode Is placed in tho sugar Juice and
shcetlron plates are placed In the water
compartment to serve as cathodes. The
albumlnoldal matter of the Juice Is coac
ulatcd and precipitated under the action of
the current, the salts are decomposed and
the soluble bases are separated. Under
this treatment the Juice becomes clear,
limpid and colorless, and besides the sugar
there Is found only traces of lime, mag
nesia ana, ucpcnwng on tho anode used, a
small amount of the salts of lead or of
aluminum. The sugar remains Intact In
the positive liquid. In addition to the ad
vantages which the process presents, from
the Industrial manufacturing standpoint of
sugar, we can henceforth investigate. Iden
tlfy and adulterate the different sugars
wttn n large number of vegetable sub
stances, with tho current mentioned
above It Is understood that It takes about
an hour and a half to treat a solution con
talnlng about 15 per cent of sugar.

The continued preference of engineers

direct-coupled to generators nnd the manu
facturers of the generator has come to be
of such Importance that It formed the sub.
Ject of an address recently delivered by 11.

the nddress discussed the question at great
length from the standpoint that the engine

PIERRE. S D.. March l -(Special Tele

of the house n targe crowd of spectators
was present, expecting n fight on the capital
removnl measure, but In this they were dis
appointed. The agreement which broke the
deadlock of Saturday night prevented any
discussion, the bill simply coming up as, n
special order nnd passing by a vote of 17 to
20 without any discussion.
The hcuse then took up action on the
house bills nnd passed the bills to compel

After you have had as much experience
with advertising as some people you will
discover that the Innermost secret of suc

persistence
That will win every time, win almost
anything In fact.
I was amused the other day when reading
an article Illustrative of this point. A
girl had two lovers and her affecttous were
about equally divided.
One fellow came 10 fee her every Sun
day night and as regularly as he came he
asked her to marry him.
She could not make up her mind, however.
The other fellow came Tuesday night,
Thursday night and Saturday night, and ho
never left her without nn invitation to be
come his wife.
No lue telling the rest of It; every
body knows what happened. She mar

The principle holds truo In love; It holds
true in business; In fact, I do not recall
any place whero It will fall.
Too often tho advertiser gets the Idea
(before getting any experience) that spend
ing money for advertising Is about tho same
as speculating In wheat and hogs. That
It's a gamble anyway, with the chances ull
In favor of the publisher getting his money

advertising simply because it Is economy for
the advertiser. A two-Inch ad la worth
three times as much to the advertiser as a
one-Inch. Lots of people are Influenced hy

we must as far as possible cater to the

Whatever you drink outside, let your
home beer be Schlitz. That is pure beer.
No bacilli in it nothing to make you
bilious.
Beer is a saccharine product, and germs
multiply rapidly in it. The slightest taint
of impurity quickly ruins its healthfulness.
We go to the utmost extremes to prevent
that. Cleanliness is a science where Schlitz
beer is brewed.
We even cool the beer in plate glass
rooms, in nothing but filtered air.
Then we filter the beer. Then we
sterilize every bottle.
And Schlitz beer is aged. The beer that
makes you bilious is green beer.
When you order beer for your home,
get. the healthfulness without the harm.
Get a pure beer - get an old beer - get Schlitz.

well which Is usually attached to things
ou never expect to see again.
You can regard it simply as "bread cast
upon the waters," and In numberless cases
now on record It did not even need the
proverbial "many days" to come back. We
do not ask you to have any faith In our
paper.
Wc havo that ourselves.
Our position Is somewhat like that of
the doctor whose patient said she had no
faith in his little pills.
"It Is not necessary you should have,"
replied the M. D., "Just take the pills."
So we say, Just put your ad In the paper.
We will do the rest.

egram.) A snow Htorm, accompanied by
high north winds, rages over the northwest
today. A few such days as this will play
havoc among the cattlo of this eetlon. The
grass on the ranges Is very short and the

cold weather.

storms so far. and the ranges have at no
time been covered fo us to prevent the

streams arc but slightly frozen and the
stock can easily get plenty of water. Most
of the ranchers havo enough feed for a I
few bad days of storm and so far have J
not had to use It.

Indian reservation line are In bad condi
tion and on very short rango the reports
from the sand hills southeast of here state
that the range was never better and that
the cattle are In a condition to stand a
great amount of bad weathci.
