One feature of the coal strike which has not escaped the attention of newspaper readers {s the continuous at- tempt by trust organs to deceive the public by menda- * lous assertions regarding the attitude of the men and their intentions.

The agricultural district of Hanover, Germany, has witnessed a remarkable growth during the past few years In the use of electric current for agricul- tural purposes. There are at present 48 villages, representing a population of 87,- 500, connected to the tramway mains of. ‘he local railway. The greatest demand for power is for the driving of farm machinery, threshing machinery, pumps, hay presses, straw cutters, &c.
