The Electric Fan, Back in the early eighties Dr. 8. S. ‘Wheeler, an electrical engineer of New York. was experimenting with a small electric motor. In the course of his ex- periments the doctor conceived the idea that steamboats might be run with electricity if the propellers could be directly connected to high speed electric motors, doing away with all the gears then in use in steam propul sion. With this idea in mind he bad a small screw propeller constructed and fastened it to the armature shaft of his small motor. To his surprise the experiment resulted in a’fine breeze of cooling air which more than delighted the experimenter, for the day was de- cidedly hot. It is needless to add that the experiments with screw propellers ended right there. and the engineer took up the study of the electric fan, with the result that he soon perfected the device until it was a commercial suceess. Bonnyclabber. New drinks have sometimes a glori- ous and brief popularity. Lord Straf- ford. writing to Lord Cottington in 1635, extols “bonnyclabber.” which he says “is the bravest. freshest drink you ever tasted. Your Spanish don would, on the heats of Madrid, hang his nose and shake his beard an hour over every sop he took of it and take it to be the drink of the gods all the while.” No one, however. seems to know the exact composition of the seductive “bonnyclabber,” although from an al- lusion to it by Ben Jonson it would seem to have been a mixture of beer and buttermilk.—London Chronicle.

TAFT SAYS KEEP AT IT President Pleased With Cut of Four- teen Millions, but He Insists That Further Reductions Be Made—Prac- tically Certain That Ex-Governor "Hughes Will Be Named Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme Court. ‘Washington,; Dec. 1.—A cut of $14, 000,000 in the estimates of the rum- ning expenses of the government dur- ing the next fiscal year was reported to President Taft as a result of his ultimatum to the various heads of de- partments at the cabinet conference Tuesday. The president was great]y gratified with the showing announced, but de- clared there must be still deeper cuts. So the cabinet meeting was postponed until Friday to allow the cabinet offi- cers to make another revision of their figires. The delay in the preparation of the president’s message is said to be due to the necessity of waiting for the estimates in their final form. By Friday, however, it is expected, the message will be ready in its en- tirety for consideration by the cab- inet. Just as soon as the message is out of the way the president will de- vote the next three or four days to seeing senators and representatives regarding the legislative programme. Hughes for Chief Justice. . He will not take up the appoint- ments to the supreme court and the court of commerce until the latter part of next week. The nvomination of Justice Charles E.” Hughes as chief justice seems to be the only appoint- ment decided upon up to this time. President Taft was at work on his message until 3 o’clock in the morn- ing. He remained at work in his study all day. The only visitor he i saw there was President James. Mc- Crea of the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. McCrea declared the call was purely personal. Representative Sereno E. Payne of New York, Republican floor leader in the house, called at the executive offices, but did not see the president. As to what the legislative programme was likely to be Mr. Payne declared that any man’s guess would be as good as his own. Former Vice President Fairbanks is to be a guest at the White House next week. The visit is attracting a great deal of attention politically.

KEEPING TAP ON THE CROPS The Way the ‘Agricultural Department Gets Its Information.
