During the meeting of the Board of
Agriculture, which took place at the
State Capitol, January 23rd, Secretary
Hamilton, through his subordinates,
tried to convince the public that dur-
ing the last year he had made a strong
_eflort to bring to justice those who
had violated the oleo law, which had
gone into eflect on the first day of
May, 1901. In his report he states
that during the year 1913 samples bad
had been analyzed snd out of that
number?1005 were pronounced pure;
58 found impure and the parties sell
ing them convicted. Four were dis-
charged and the balance still‘ pending.
Why the 504 cases pending have not
been dealt with according to law is a
question which probably can only be
answered by Secretary Hamilton or
some of his subordinates.
¢ There is no doubt in the minds of
the country people that Becretary
Hamilton is shamming and is protect-
ing the large manufacturers, and by
this method defrauding the farmers
and dairymen out of thousands of dol-
Jars. Io as number of Farmers’ iosti-
tutes, ae well as Granger's resolutions
have been drawn and petitions signed
asking the Governor to dismiss him
and to appoint sorue one in his place
who will be in harmony with and
work for the interests of the Agricul
tural districts. But Governor Btone
takes excellent care of his political
friends; he is indebted to the Secreta-
ry for the lobbying done last winter,
and would be very ungrateful if he dis
missed him now.
Personally, 1 have no grievance
against B«cretary Hamilton, but I
candidly believe that no greater bless.
ing eould befall the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania than his removal, It is
not on account of incotpetency; he is
capsble of filling the ollice with credit
to himself and for the benefit of the
Agricultural interests, but to do this
would sever him from the Quay ele
ment of the party aod polities] ruin.
Mr. Hamilton was very anxious to
have the board endorse his actions dur-
ing the Inst year but was foxy enough
to withhold the resolution until the
majority of the members had gone
howe. Then bis henchmen, White
and Cope, read the reports and thor-
oughly whitewashed all their doings
#0 that it was as travsparent as frosted
glass, The Secretary still thought the
remaining members might not all vote
for the endorsement resolutions and
suggested that chief clerk Hutchinson
who seted us apologist for Hamilton,
tlope and White, should come in with
the skim coat and effectually cover the
vorners of the little mistakes they had
overlooked,
The Chief Clerk started out by say-
fog it was dangerous for one to try to
eollect mmples of olen in the city of
Pittsburg. ‘The citizens were so anteg-
onistic to the suppression of olen that
it could only be secured by disguising
yourself by smoking a corn cob pipe
and carrying a dinner pail filled with
Limberger cheese, and if you were so
unfortunate as to be caught in the act
you were at once taken before as magis-
_ trate and sentenced to banishment for
ten years with cost of prosecution,

sylvapia than any other state. The

| LIGHTNING FLASHES.
HOW THEY ARE EVOLVED AND THE
ENERGY THEY POSSESS.
Inhabitants of Compnaeotly Dualit
Cities Have Little Cause to Fear
These Mysterious and Destructive
Balls From the Clouds,
Without doubt lightning was the first
electrical phenomenon that was observ-
ed by human beings. To this day it
remains the least known and least un-
derstood of natural electrical manifes-
tations except, perhaps, the aurora,
There Is a vast deal of popular mis-
conception concerning the danger of
lightning and the nature of it. The
lightning flash is a discharge from a
cloud at a bl potential with refer
ence to the earth. When the atinos-
phere Is charged with water vapor and
some eddy or current in its colder up
per strata is deflected downward, caus-
ing condensation, cxcecdingly minute
drops of water are formed, each bear-
ing an clectrieal charge. The consoli-
tation of these Into larger drops results
in a very great increment of the poten
tinl of the charge since the capacity of
the drop varfes with its diameter and
the volume of the drop with
of the dinmeter.
The consequend
takes, for o3
dated to make one of
ter of the constituent drops,
charge on of the
dated drop will be four times as great
that uj surfaces of its ele-
In this way, as the small wa-
ter particles unite to form drops which
fall as rain, the potential of the charge
they carry until it attains
etormous values, and the lightning
flash leaps to the earth, which may be
regarded simply as a body of very
great electrostatic capacity, The dis-
whiecl called lightning,
apt to be more or less destructive,
though the energy of individual
flash Is perhaps not very great, Often
the conditions are that the dis-
charge tnokes on an oscillating ebarac
producing violent surgings of eur-
rent. No very ate 1s
have been in the current in
volved, but it is taken to be of the or
der of 1000 to The
c¢lectro motive foree to cause

of the actor or actress speaking, which

Mr. Leichty has aright to feel proud
