Two-mllilon-volt artificial lightning Is being created In the research laboratories of tlie General Electric company, Pittsfield, Mass., In order that buildings and high power electrical transmission lines may be protected against the powerful “electrical dyna mite" that nature discharges during storms, reports tbs Kansas City Star. F. W. Peer, Jr., engineer in charge of the spectacular experiments now in progress, explains that In addition to the trouble that engineers have tn keeping power current from escaping from the conductors there is the very Important problem of lightning pro tection. A few million horsepower are released In a fraction of a millionth of a second when lightning crashes. Elec trical engineers must know how to prevent this destructive force from reaching the conductors of power lines or they must arrange so that it will discharge harmlessly to the ground when It does get to the line. The highest voltage actually used at the present time for the commercial transmission of power Is 220,000 volts on a line in California, but the General Electric company has an experimental miUlon-voit line. Mr. Peek declared that it Is too early to say whether such An invention for lessening risks to high voltages will ever be acquired In life ot sea by the automatic Illumina practice.

For five more days we paddled along the lOO-kllometer stretch of stream that unfurls itself rtbbonllke among rolling, windmill-topped slopes be tween Redon and Nantes, writes Mel ville Chafer in the National Geographic Magazine.

This last detail was related to 'us by a farmer, who ndded: “Most vig orous young men those, m’sleu. Won derful teeth, wonderful stomachs. How they could even digest that stuff wus the wonder of the countryside." And he pointed to one of those fine fields of Indian corn which ln France are cultivated exclusively as cattle food.

As soon as weather sufficiently cold was forecast, the company put out all (1res and opened doors and win dows. That night the temperature reached 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and did not go above 17 degrees Fahrenheit the next day. According to the report of the company to tlie United States De partment of Agriculture, through the weather bureau, al! moths and most of tlie eggs were frozen, and the process will not have to he repeated for at least two years.

Ä Si i '4 *--- ■ the Hens a Chance ! Once More Extended. It Is certain thnt the limits of Lake Erie and Lake Michigan were once more extended than now. It is reason ably probable, sn.v students of the subject, that some of the territory now drained by the Wabash and Illinois rivers was once covered hy the wnters of Lake Michigan. The cisco of Lake Tippecanoe, Lake Geneva, nnd the lakes of the Oconomowoc chain Is evidently a modified descendant of the so-called lake herring. Its origin most likely dates from the time when these small deep lakes of Indiana and Wis consin were connected with Lake Mich igan. Several of the larger fishes, properly characteristic of the Great Lakes region, are occasionally taken ln the Ohio river. Nature made a hen to lay eggs.. She will lay in winter and summer, if you’ll only give her a chance. A new, well-lighted, warm, sanitary chicken house is a real investment. It means two things that make big poultry profits—early hatches and more eggs. Call at this office and inspect plans of poultry houses which have been designed with the “more eggs” idea. Eskimos Have Strongest Teeth. Less than two Eskimos out of 100 have any signs of tooth decay. Chew ing course frozen food keeps their glands active and their teeth safe. One of the domestic duties of the women Is tlie chewing of thick walrus hide to make it pliable enough for the men to work It into shoe soles. Today the soft-cooked foods of the civiliaed nations have allowed the glands to slow down. As a consequence 98 people out of 100 have decayed teeth.
