not the only Instance of a clever sclen
ttat being hopelessly wrong. The
arly history of submarine cabling
furnish i two striking examples. Con
sulted cn the scientific side of the
project, Faraday asserted that the first
cablea were made too small. Then he
aid that "the larger the wire, the
more electricity would be required to
charge it;" and In this quite wrong
opinion he was supported by other
eminent electricians. As a result of
this dictum the current was Increased
until the oreration literally "electro
cuted" the wire and the cable broke
down. It was Lord Kelvin who by
sending messages through heavy cv
blea with incredibly weak electric cur
rents proved that Faraday was mis
taken. 8lr O. B. Airy submitted the pro
ject to mathematics and arrived at
the conclusion that a cable could not
be submerged to the necessary depth,
and that If it could no recognizable
algnai could ever travel from Ireland
to Nova Scotia. In aviation Frofessor
Newoorab, one of the cleverest math
ematicians America has produced,
who died laBt year, declared that he
had mate matlca'.ly Investigated alt
the conditions operating against the
heavier than air machine and was con
vinced that the aeroplane would never
be more than a scientific toy; and the
possibility of an aeroplane motor be

EYE NOT PATRIOTIC ENOUGH
Oculist's Second Attempt Procurea for
Him Decoration From Haitien
Emperor.
During the reljn of Emperor Sou
lougue In Haiti one of his generals
wrote to an eminent oculist in Paris
ordering a g'.ass eye. The oculist Bat
tered himself that a successfully con
structed artificial optic would secure
for him a decoration of honor by the
Hatlan government; accordingly, he
devoted his entire skill to the produc
tion of a work of art.
Six mouths after the shipment of
the eye to Haiti, the oculist received a
smalt box from Haiti. In his imagina
tion he pictured the golden testimonial
to his skill, so It was with horror that,
when he had unwound the folds of cot
ton in the box, he saw returned his
work of art. A letter accompanied the
box. Among other things It said:
"The eye you have forwarded me is
of a tint that resembles that of the
Spanish flag, and I am mo patriotic to
wear any but the color of my coun
try." Whereupon the oculist proceeded at
once to the admiralty, where he ascer
tained the colors of the Haitian flag.
He then Immediately manufactured a
scarlet and green eye, of the approved
shades, and forwarded It to the em
peror, who was much pleased with the
effort and who duly decorated the ocu

( Special Correspondence!
For the first time In Its history the

Kxposition to bo hold In New York
t'lty November 3 to 12.
Seven millions of people living on
and near Manhattan Island are to
have their Hist opportunity to witnes;
an exhibit of the products and re
sources of the soil. Incredible as i
may seen to the rural dweller, there
are hundreds of thousands of citizens
of New York and adjacent torrito:-
who know absolutely nothing of th
agricultural resources of the stales
that support them nor of the oppor
tunities for gaining a comfortable an I
independent livelihood from the soil
Here in the Mrt of entry for a mil
lion immigrants yearly, a large per
centage of whom are seeking land
there Is and has been no exhibit of
the agricultural wealth and possibili
CO KM.
These beautiful silver trophies stand
ed for best exhibits In these cereals at
ties of the nation to stimulate n
stronger tie of labor and of capital
toward the undeveloped land.
When this fact was brought to the
attention of Arthur K. Stllwell, presi
dent of the Kansas City, Mexico and
Orient Railway and of the United
States and Mexican Trust Company,
In his office in the Singer tower he
quickly realized that a "land show '
in New Y'ork City would be eagerly
welcomed by hundreds of thousand
of its citizens anxious to learn the
agricultural resources of our country
and to secure some knowledge of tie?
opportunities to be found in tilling
the soil.
Mr. Stllwell at once authorized his
Interviewer, Mr. Gilbert MoClurg, who
had directed the. national Irrigation
congresses in Colorado and Utah, to

son Square Harden and to hold New
York's first land show there in No
vember of the present year. j
The first New York land exposition
Is to be thoroughly representative of
American agriculture as well as tin
most picturesque and Instructive call
of the land ever presented In the na
tion. Kxhlbltors will display their
soil and Its products or show maps
and relief models of their holding..
Agriculture as It Is generally prac
ticed, dry farming and Irrigation
methods will be demonstrated. Mov
ing pictures. Illustrated lectures, liter
ature, growers and agents will demon
s'rate. the possibilities of American
olls. In fact, the exposition will per
fectly illustrate that, -from the land
comes all permanent wealth ami that
life on the land alTords the greatest
measure of Independence. i
Big Men Encourage Agriculture.
President Stllwell has secured for
'he exposition a thoroughly represen
tative advisory and governing board.
It Is made up of the presidents of
twelve of the great railway systems
of the country. United states Sen
ators and Congressmen, thirty gov
?rnors of the most progressive state
