Electricity’s Source
May Be Discovered
Washington.—Scientists of the Car
negie Institution have developed an
instrument which measures the elec
'■tricky that comes to the earth from
the invisible universal dynamo, it was
announced yesterday.
The instrument, or a further devel
opment.of it, may eventually locate the
source of electricity, it is believed. It
is the work of Dr S. .J. Mauchlv and
H. W Tisk, of the department of ter
resirn.i magnetism of Carnegie Insti
tution.
By means of the instrument greater
accuracy in determining the apparent
•variation of the north magnetic pole is
possible. The indicator of the finest
•compass now points 30 degrees west of
true north. The variation has totaled
'20 degrees in the last 04 years. This
variation is not of the magnetic pole
itself, but is the effect on the compass
•of electric waves or rays moviDg toward
the •earth.
The distance from here to Big river
is 24 7 miles, according to the cyclom
eter used by Sam Sanderson in going
over the trail from here, yeeterdav.
Frank Beckman was a Sunday ar
rival, coming from Carl creek, to which
he returned on Monday.

“This is a tough old place without a
little money. 1 am getting- along as
well as could be expected, considering
For Sale—A well broken leader, cheap.

Will be Open for
Business at Ta
cotna, Feb. 1
Dr. D. C. Hardy
: Mie fact, that they have done nothing1
' for my teeth. There is ne dentist in
connection with the Home, and at
! present there are no funds available to
pay the local deutist. Mow, it seems,
they expect an appropriation in March,
when the legislature meets, and then
, they may be able to do something. The
i doctor here says the principal cause of
i my trouble Is my teeth and there is no
use of my thinking of leaving till 1 get
them fixed.”
Mr, Stout sends greetings to all his
friends.
