NEW MANHOOD The Dr. Metzger Body Vitalfzer x is the jtotransfer our thoughts-at-will HARNESS THUNDER AND TAME THE LIGHTNING Need of Cheaper Source of Electricity Commented on by Scientist: AGTIVE BRAINS .NSTEAD OF BRAWRY ARMS Chemist Will Provide the Next Great Invention, Says Sir H. Maxim. Mr, J. N. Maskelyne, whose start- Ung applications of scientific pheno- mena have 0 often mystified his au- diences, is looking to the chemist and the scientist for the next great inven- tion. A cheaper source of electricity than the dynamo or the battery is the most epoch-making invention that Mr. Maskelyne can suggest. Engineers of every class admit the supreme utility of electric power; cost alone prohibits its universal adoption, A reduction of aven 0 per cent. on the average cost today would give electricity an absolute mastery, and result in the immediate introduction of hundreds of electrical devices for saving manual labor. Active brains rather than brawny arms would then be essential for workmen. Heating and cooking by electricity would en- tirely displace present methods. Houses could be warmed to any de- gree of temperature by the mere turn- ing of a switch, and the need for do- mestic servants would be reduced to a minimum. Mechanics, said Mr, Maskelyne to a representative of the London Stan- dard, have had thelr day. Mechani- cal engineers are now looking to the chemist and the electrician for fresh ideas. Synthetic chemistry is making such strides that it is not unreason- able to expect something epoch-mak- ing in this direction. We may, per- haps, In the near future-learn-how to collect and utilize atmospheric elec- tricity. It would be a-great thing to harness the thunderclouds and tame lightning to some more apparent use- ful. purpose. Remarkable things can be per- formed with a combination of sclent- ific phenomena, People thought that with my automaton Psycho I hai discovered a new force. In all the remarkable things that Psycho did there was absolutely no connection between the automaton and myself. Thad merely adapted a combination. of forces. Incidentally I may state that I used the principle of wireless control for tricks long before. Mr. Marcon Invented wireless telegraphy. Thought Transference. Questioned upon the possibilities of a systematic development of thought transference and occult phenomena, Mr. Maskelyne displayed no great optimism. There are certain phen- omena at the basis of spiritualism that have not been fully explained, sald Mr. Maskelyne.. There sre un- doubtedly times when a form of wire Jess intercommunication can be es- tablished between two persons, but nothing definite can be determined regarding the conditions facilitating this peculiar state nor the ability to produce it at will. One thing is cer- simplicity. If he sets out to, under- take serious r search he is invariab- ly hampered by the ingenious trick- ery of some imposter. The day is certainly remote, if ever possible, when we shail be able to systematical- ly develop a sense that will enable us May I state whilst discussing in- ventions that in my opinion the Eng- lish patent Iaw ts wrong? This law was Intended to assist- inventors. Now it frequently prevents inventions from being carried out. A man, for instance, takes up something discov- ered by other people, hits on a point that gives the discovery practical value, and secures patent for that point: Instead of that man having a monopoly, and thereby. hindering much useful progress In other de- partments, there should be a council which should decide the value-of-a master Invention, and assess a scale tain, that persons genuinely capable t could. of producing these phenomena never 0 so far as to make a public exhib-. pe Ee cere et ition.

Dissipation: of Nitrogen. Sir Hiram Maxim shares with Mr, Maskelyne the view that the chemist will provide the next great invention, Sir Hiram admits that the fmvention of a machine that will convert one half the energy of jeoal into dyamic or etectricul energy would be of. an epoch-making character, but lays Breater stress upon the fmmediate necessity for a systematic attempt to check the diss pation of fixed nit- rogen from the soll, With every crop taken from the land the pef ntage of fixed nitrogen upon which plant lite depends for its existence, 1s serious- ly reduced. An elaborate system of rotation crops and the use of artifi- cial fertilizers have hitherto been used to check this decrease, but these de- vices are cousidered to be mer make- shifts in a matter of world-wide tin- portance. Some means are required. stated Sir Hiran, Maxim to our, repretenta- tive, by wick the nitrogen which constitutes 9 per cent, of the atmos- phere can be economlenily oaptured and rendered Into such a condition as to make it food for plant life. In China every possible means are e ployed to prevent the loss of nitrog- enous matters, that s to keep it from being washed off into the sea, The farmer could then farnt his fand for any length of time without doing any injury to it, but in America, especlal- ly in the southern States, the land s soon ruined by being cultivated. The amount of nitrogenous mat- ter taken out of the sea by the River Thames is much greater than that contained in all the fish caught im the North Sea. If the Chinese were to adopt our system of sewers it would mean the death of at least two hun- dred millions of them from starva- tion in the next fifty years. A World Necessity. Many attempts have been made in recent years to utilize atmospheric nitrogen to support plant life, and T think with some small measure of success. If some cheap and practical means can be found it means more to the world than any other invention that has ever been made. It is need- less to say that the supply of atmos- pPheric nitrogen is unlimited, but the supply of fixed nitrogen is compara- tively very limited indeed, and is get- ting more so every year. There are other fields for the in- ventor who is out for purely per- sonal gain. It s.not generally real- ized that th re are ten thousand mil- lions of gold in solution in the waters of the ocean. The quantity of silver is vastly greater. Can we capture It? Tt-4s-true that in actual analysis gold figures as a trace, but with the raw material to be had without cost some system of extraction should be omically possible. Philadelphia, in a sense, is a clty of gold. The clay uhder Philadelphia ie gold-bearing, and every brick in the buildings con- tains a small proportion of gold, but no one has succeeded in getting it out in paying quantities. Sir Hiram Maxtm -warns the n ventor not to be deterred in his ef- forts by the figures of theorists. The best mathematicans disputed me when I stated how much a plane would lft in the alr, and when T spoke of the efficiency of the screw propellor. Today the aeroplane is lifting far more than I ever estimated (Mail and Empire) A few weeks ago we drew attention in connection with a proposition to introduce motor omnibuges into Tor- onto to the marvellous money-earn- img power of these vehicles, and Showed how they had been the means of rescuing the well known London General Omnibus- Company from a state approaching ruin. The company at one time was paying no dividend fle even the pay- ments on its preference stock fell into arrears, As the result of discarding its horse-omnibuses and introducing motors the company is paying 8 per cent. on its shares now, meeting. its payments, of course, on its preference stock, writing off large sums for maintenance of its buses and depreci- ation, and has established a pension fund for its employees out of its earn- ings, which amounted for the past 40h September ot the Landon County PEERS EEE Et Council tramays. showed a drop of, +. ., aa about 240,000, Over the whole of the ++ A New President saven atreet car systems of London , In a Fortnight and Greater London there has been a a total depline inthe receipts during the e op apap ote ot oe te ate afe abe obs fe With election day only a couple of pset six months of some 320,000.

Whatever views may be held in regard to the question of whether the street cars should bear all or any of the cost of street widenings, the figures show ing the fall in the re- ceipts stand out clearly, apart from all considerations either as to cost of widening, rating on road tracks, or other charges which are placed on street cars, Profitable Traffic. Figures indicate that the number of Passengers carried by the street cars must have decreased very --consider- ably, but this decrease has not been as large as would appear to be the case. It 1s to the class of passengers that attention should be drawn. The motor-buses are carrying the profit- able traffic, while the.street cars are carrying more and more of the non: Profitable class. The conveyance of Workmen at cheap fares at. certain hours of the day and night entails a Joss of something like 400,000 a year, and the return-fare system onscertain lines involves a further loss of 250,- 000 per annum. Both these losses are Incurred by the council in the id that the street cars by carrying work- pmen further afield help to save heavy expenditure on housing work. The motor-buses provide neither a work- me's service nor a cheap. return ticket: they pick up passengers in the busy centres in the working hours of the day, when nearly half the months. That is to say, a forecast that might be correct in May might be altogether Incorrect in July. The people might Have made up their minds in August to elect Wilson, and the signs of their Intention might be plain to the experts. In November, however, they might have changed their minds, and Roosevelt might be elected, . Taft 1s Doomed. For instance, those in touch with the general situation In the last Do minion election were agreed that the longer the campaign continued the blacker grew the outlook for recip- rocity. With each week that the battle continued the prospects of Sir Wiltrid Laurier declined. It is. not easy. to draw a parellel between the contest of September, 1911, m Canada and that of 1912 in the United States, and the reciprocity campaign is only mentioned as illustrating the difficul- ty. of presaging a result several months before it comes to pass. Ever since reciprocity was beaten in Can- ada it was plain that unless the op- Position against him was of the feeb- lest character, President Taft would ot be elected. All seemed to depend on the personality of the Democratic nominee, A candidate of the type of Judge Parker would have placed the issue in doubt, for Parker was incap- able of arousing anyone's enthusiasm. An extreme Radical like Bryan might have driven thousands of Democratic Voters. into the Republican ranks, The Colonel Comes Back. Governor Wilson, however, has grown on the public and when it was decided that he would be the party's candidate the -practical certainty of his election was generally admitted. The split in the Republican Party ahd the nomination of Col. Roosevelt as a Progressive made certain the defeat be altered in the course of a couple of 7 street cars stand idle in the sheds, Criyrled by. a payment this year of nea7 y 500,000 in rates on tracks of which t has no longer the monoply owing to the vast increase of vehicu- lar traffic: tied to a rail in the mid- dle of the road, to reach which often entails would-be passengers risking life and limb; hampered by a multi- pileity of fixed stopping places, and Prevented from entering or crossing the business centre of London, there is no prospect of the street cars im- Proving thelr financial condition in a figh: with. flexible, swift vehicles, which ean pick up and set down their passengers at the kerb. A Killing Competition It is little wonder, therefore, that the street car people are endeavoring to meet this competition. ' Inspectors have been stationed by the County Council to speed up the cars, and to keep them well ahead of the motor- buses. The Croydon Counell is ask- placarding the streets with appeals to the ratepayers to support the cars. The Metropolitan Company will put 400. motor-buses on the streets as feeders to its car service, and these will ran on cross routes. It is a very serious matter although perhaps not quite so serious as might be gathered from the figures as far as the London County-Gouncil-ts-concerned, for it has invested out of receipts close on to a million pounds fm reserve funds, and has paid off, also out of revenue, two and a half millions out of the total sum bf 12,000,000 spent on the street cars.

For awhile It ap- peared that the Colonel's candidacy would have little effect. One of the most remarkable of recent political phenomena, however, was the way Roosevelt came back after being beaten in the Republican conventior There can be little doubt that in the past two or three months Col Roose- velt has grown greatly as a political factor, and the attack upon bim in Milwaukee has added to bis strength. Wilson, however, has not been losing ground, If we can trust the prophets, and the gain on the part of Roosevelt has been at the expense of Taft. Odds onWiigon.

They only differ as regards the second candidate, but of late they incline to Roosevelt. It is admiltted that the sympathy vote for Col. Roosevelt is the greatest mystery of campaign in the closing days of the contest. Some of the investigators Speak of an undercurrent in favor of President Taft, for the President, too, will receive a sympathy vote, but NO one appears to believe that it will be sufficient to alter the situation as t was indicated several months ago, In only two States whero test votes: were taken by the New York Herald did the President lead, and the States were Utah and Wyoming. is OF Democrats, LAIT REAL STREET one 260.
