Safe and Sane Fourth.
Omaha's characteristic sanity has
asserted itself on the Fourth of
July, as .well as at other times, but
as yet this city has not got entirely
away from the noisy, unprofitable
mode of celebrating that day. It
has entered upon no definitely or
ganized plan for what is commonly
called a safe and sane Fourth. Might
it not do so this year with great
profit to all?
New York, Boston, Chicago and
other larger cities have demonstrated
the entire feasibility of a safe and
sane Fourth, and the greatest prop
aganda over the country has shown
how it serves to protect life, limb
and property. Nothing of the spirit
of our Independence day anniversary
is lost by the new method of cele
bration, for the very good reason
that very little If any of that spirit
ever got into the form of celebration
that depends upon unbridled pande
monium and reckless adventure.
Just now the Woman's club of
Minneapolis is promoting the safe
and sane Fourth for that city. It
plans definitely laid out, showing
what It proposes to do and what it is
determined not to have done. Some
organization in Omaha will have to
get behind the movement to give it
promising momentum.
Failure of Muckrake Magazines.
Wisdom of old laughed at the
calamity of the scorners. So wis
dom today must smile, even though
in regret, at financial loss, every
time one of the notorious muckrake
magazines goes under, as several
have. Those who have stemmed the
tide have unlimited backing, but
even they have modified their tones;
they are less lurid, less garulous than
they were.
Nobody can beat a muckraker
sounding public opinion. He keeps
his finger constantly on the people's
pulse and the instant he detects a
change for the better, shifts his
cure-alls to suit the case. In the
last few days another muckrake ma
gazine has collapsed and gone out
of business. It is not altogether
commendable to laugh at anyone's
misfortune but If the' good to the
largest number Is still to count for
anything In casting up the results of
fair play, then perhaps those Hps
that curl into a half smile at one
corner are not to be twitted for
heterodoxy. The muckraker has been
consumed by its own lust. Worthy
reforms do not need its advocacy.
It is a mistake to say that this kind
of publicity or agitation has helped;
It has hurt. It has created false is
sues and obscured the truth, all for
a price.
Babies Are Fashionable.
Babies are evidently coming into
vogue again in the fashionable quar
ters of New York. In all Gotham
last year 135,000 were -born, a gain,
for instance, over 1808 of 24.12 per
cent, and statistics show that the
aristocrats did their part In this hu
manitarian contribution to society.
So we have the pleasing consola
tion of knowing that all curtain lec
tures upon this dellcatelryet vitally
important topic, have not fallen upon
dumb ears. Some cynic sniffles
about the almost complete absence
of new babies along Fifth avenue,
which in times past, was another
name for aristocracy. Not how,
however. That once swell thorough
fare is now largely populated by
boarders, of whom old maids and
young bachels compose a large per
centage. How vain it is to knock, when one
realizes not what one knocketh
about.
High Prices and Staple Crops.
The cost of living is higher today
than it has ever been in the history
of America, except, possibly, during
the civil war, according to the state
ment of expert economists. Whether
any new and more lofty pinnacles
are yet to be attained, we are not
advised. We can only hope not, with
little ground on which to base our
faith.
And what is the cause? The ques
tion is still unanswered, in this and
other countries. James J. Hill has
been dinning it into our ears that
one vital factor in the elevating
range of prices is the failure of our
production to keep pace with our
consumption. Government census
reports tend to confirm his theory.
In the ten years from 1899 to
1909 our production of corn, king
of all cereals, increased not quite 4
per cent; oats, which has risen to
such importance as a foodstuff, in
creased in production 19 per cent,
while wheat actually fell off In out
put nearly 16 per cent.
Those figures tell their own tale.
Such ratios must not continue if we
are to solve this grave problem ot
the high cost of living. More farm
ers, and better methods of farming
are the needs of the hour.
Uncle Jud Is now face to face with
the most serious of all his problems.

SCHOOL DAYS IN

Member of the Class of 1887 and Now Editor of The Bee.
When I first started to school I was
living with my parents in a little cot

WHAT TO DO IN A THUNDERST0EM
Its Perils Can Be Eliminated by Proper Precautions.
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
The season of thunder storms has
opened and in no country are the electric
marvels of the atmosphere more impos
ingly displayed than in the United States.
They are among nature's most magnifi
cent spectacles.
We shauld learn
to look upon these
without fear. They
re full of danger
but their perils can
be almost com
pletely eliminated
by proper precau
tions. All fatal ac
cidents from light
ning are due to
neglect of such pre
cautions. Lightning
rods, properly
placed and cared
for, furnish an all but absolute protec
tion for buildings. Great cities are sd full
of ready-made tracks for electric dis
charges that violent thunder storms pas
sing over there seldom cause any serious
damage by lightning. The sudden gusts
of wind do more harm than the electric
charges.
Statistics show that the danger I?
greatest In the open country, and par
ticularly In hilly and mountainous dls
trlcts. In the year 1900, 731 person
were killed by lightning In the United
States, and the greater number were
In the Rocky Mountain district and
the upper Missouri valley. In the sam
year 1,843 domestic animals were killed
In the United States by lightning, and
1,847 buildings were struck. Cattle
and sheep are apt to gather about
Isolated trees, or along wire fences
during a thunder storm, and they are
sometimes killed tn groups. A person
caught In a thunder storm while In
the open country should keep a hun
dred yards away from any tree that
may happen to stand in the field. In a
dense woods he Is safer It he does not
place himself under some tall tree
Eight or nine persons have been killed
by a single stroke of lightning while
sitting under an Isolated tree. Such a
tree invites lightning, and offers It a
ready path to the ground. One should
also avoid the neighborhood of a body
of water.
The cause of lightning Is the accumu
lation of eJectrlo charges in the clouds.
These charges grow stronger aa the
particles of water In the cloud coalesce
to form larger drops. Electricity resides
on the surface of the charged particles,
and as they coalesce the surface In
creases proportionally less than the
volume. The consequence Is that the
electricity contributed by each particle
to the united mass has less space to
spread Itself over than It had when the
particles were separate. It follows that
the combined charge on the surface of the
larger drop la more Intense than were
the charges on the separate particles. In
other words, the "potential" of the
charge Is Increased. The whole cloud
becomes heavily charged as Its countless
multitudes of drops grow larger and
larger.
At the same time, through the effects
of What l railed "Induction," a charge
of the opposite kind Is produced on a
neighboring cloud, or on the earth be
neath. As these changes Increase In In
tensity they strive to burst across the
Intervening air, and If the potential be-
oomes sufficient, they do so. The result
Is a lightning stroke.
The spark from an electric machine
la a baby lightning stroke. As the disk
of the machine is turned, more and more
electricity accumulates on the polished
knob, called the conductor Until the sur
rounding air can no longer resist the
strain, and then a spark passes between
the knob and some object placed near.

EARLY OMAHA
are Indelibly stamped. The primary class
was in the southeast comer of the first
floor, as a consequence of which the
room was the sunniest and brightest In
the building. My first teacher, who was
then presiding over this room, was Miss
Helen M. Weeks, a young woman, sunny
and bright as the room. She made every
one fee! at home by her cordial welcome,
although she assigned me, along with
several others, temporarily to an uncush
luned and backless seat on the edge of
the slightly raised platform which sup
ported her desk. Looking around the
room I saw high blackboards on all sides,
.running from the wooden wainscoting:
about four feet up, except where the win
dows and doors took tbe space. On a little
shelf below were pointers, chalk and eras-,
ers, and ranged In rows across the floor
were tiers of desks, all occupied by pupils
who had gotten there ahead of me. These
dosks were the regulation double seat
variety, so that each pupil had to have a
companion to share the occupancy, while
a mere open shelf supported by the back
of ths seat in front served as repository
for slate and accessories.
At that time each grade had three
classes, and, I believe, It took several
days to secure the necessary readjust
ment forced by the newcomers, during
which time I was permitted to continue
to sit on the edge of the desk platform.
In the Interval I was busy making my
self acquainted with my companions
Miss Weeks continued to teach me
through the whole year, promoting me
through the successive classes, and finally
Into the next grade, I believe It was her
last year of teaching In the school, al
though she possibly taught a little longer.
Miss Weeks, I have been told, soon after
left the city and later married, although
I would not want to be positive as to
that. As Indicating the quickly changing
population of Omaha even In those days,
It is Interesting to note that when I
graduated eleven years afterwards not a
member of my clsss had been with me Jn
that first school room that first day with
but s single exception, that one being a
girl In the class above me, who was there
only temporarily during the Initial days.

than experience has proved it to be. Our
relative security is due to the fact that
most of the discharges take place be
tween clouds, and that when tbe lightning
strikes earthward it usually has an In
finity of points presented to it, which of
fer ready ways for its escape and dis
sipation. This is why Isolated objects, es
pecially If they are long and pointed at
the top, are the most liable to be struck.
Tall, pointed objects, especially if they
are metallic, serve to draw off the elec
tricity from the clouds without an explo
sive discharge.
The danger from lightning at sea was
greater In the old days of wooden ships.
Then serious damage, or even destruc
tion from lightning was not a very un
common occurrence. It has been thought
that Some cases ot the disappearance of
ships at sea may have been due to
lightning. A British ship, the Resistance,
was struck by lightning In the Straits
of Malacca, the powder magazine ex
ploded and every soul was lost except
three sailors. ""If that had occurred In
the middle of the ocean, no doubt the
ship would have been added to the list
of the mysteriously missing.
Modern iron and steel ships are In lit
tle danger. They present a broad, con
ducting surface for the escape of elec
tricity. The latter, like water, is only
dangerous when it is, so to speak, crowded
Into a narrow channel, with a steep
descent and no ready way to escape. The
flood that comes down from a broken
reservoir through a narrow ravine de
stroys everything In Its path; but it
spreads out harmlessly the moment it
enters a broad plain. Bo a charge of
electricity dissipates Itself without viol
ence if many ways of escape are pre
sented to it.
The grandeur of an electrlo storm 1s
vastly Increased by the thunder. Many
persons find that more terrifying than
the lightning. Thunder Is due to the
rush of air to fill partial vacancies
made In the asmosphere by the sudden
expansion produced by the passage of
the lightning. The heated air expands
with great force, and immediately the
vacancies are filled again, thus produc
ing atmospheric waves, which Impress
the ear as sound. If the stroke occurs
near by, the thunder follows almost
Instantly, in a sharp clap. If the light
nlng is at a distance from the observer,
the thunder follows the stroke at an
Interval depending upon the distance.
Sound travels In the air about 1,100 feet
per second. The distance of the light
ning stroke can easily be calculated
by observing the number of seconds
which elapse before the thunder be
gins. It Is only necessary to multiply
this number by 1.100 In order to have,
approximately, the distance of the
Ughtnlng. Successive peals of thunder
following a single stroke are due to the
successive arrival of different sound
waves produced at varying distances
from the observer by the passage of the
lightning. As we have said, a lightning
stroke may be miles in length. Varia
tions of density In the air tend to sepa
rate the sound waves and make them
arrive in peals Instead of in a continu
ous roll.
It Is an old adage that "thunder sours
milk." If there is any effect of this kind
It must be due to the electric state of the
air. rather than to the thunder. The
great heat which often accompanies a
thunder storm, may cause a sudden de
velopment of ferments In the milk.
Coal Advance Inquiry.
Philadelphia Press.
The arbitrary advance In the price of
domestic coal far and a bo ye the larger
cost of mining It by reason of the recent
Increase In miners' pay is not going to
pass without sharp oftlcal challenge.
Representative Dlfenderfer asks congress
to direct the secretary of commerce and
labor through the bureau of labor to
make the necessary Investigation. United
States District Attorney Thompson in
this city has already procured through
ths Department of Justice the assignment
of a number of men from the bureau of
Investigation for the purpose of making
the necessary Inquiry. It is likely, there
fore, that the right of the coal companies
to mark up the price of their coal at dis
cretion may be defined, limited and re
stricted, . At present the consumers ot
domeeUo sice ot anthracite cftal seem to
be wholly dependent on the moderation
