wheels, the power generated from which
Will be transmitted the 400 miles or so to
New York by electricity. If this proph,
ecy be ever realized, there viii have
been achieved by science even a more
wonderful thing than the construction
OF the ocean cables, and we shall feel
that in no regard have we any right to
cherish an abiding belief In the impossi-
bic.
A few years ago it would have been as
impossible to take this power by cleo
tricity TO Buffalo as 1T is now impracti-
cable to take 1t to New York, but every
day adds something 10 the knowledge
Of the subject, and many expect to live
to see Sir William Thomson's prophecy
come 10 pass, and to know that the wa

off the Mexican navy. Mr.. Kerns and
his son, aged seventeen, enlisted in the
Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers
in 1861 and served three years, and after
ward served eighteen years as a police
man.
Although active campaigning lasted
but five months the loss of life in the
Texan war was rightful-greater prob
ably in proportion to the number en-
gagged than in any other war of modern
times. At the Alamo all the Texans,
112, were killed, and at least 800 Mexi-
cans. At Goliad $50 Texans We're mas
sacred, and at RefUgio and other minor
battles just before Goliad at least 100
more were killed. At San Jacinto $50
Mexicans were killed, POS wounded and
$50 taken prisoner, only few escaping.
Add deaths by wounds and disease, and
it appears that Of all those engaged on
both sides at least one-third persisted.
The oldest veteran in the United
States probably is David j. Williams,

HUSBANDS WHO RAN AWAY.
Two OF Them Whose Experiences
Differ Slightly In Details,

TWO OF Them Whose Experiences
Differ Slightly In Details.
There was q prominent business
man in Washington whose disappear
ance was recorded several years ago.
He walked out OF the house after
breakfast one morning and did not
return. The newspapers recorded his
disappearance and the family was
distracted. At first the usual report
OF financial troubles started, but the
New York World says, this was found
to be groundless. Two years passed
without any word from the absent
man and then one morning he arrived
in a western town to which his family
had moved and told the story OF his
absence. The morning that he left
Washington he had gone to the depot,
driven by an uncomfortable impulse,
bought ticket for New York, and
boarded the train. Arriving in the
metropolis hetook q Liverpool steam
er. In Liverpool he walked from the
steamers dock to another wharf and
took passage on a sailing vessel with
out any idea OF the ships destination.
When his normal senses returned to
him, after an interval oftwo. years, he
found himself engaged as bookkeeper
on big sheep ranch in New South
Wales, Australia. Therapeutic drop
ped his new situation as suddenly as
he had taken it up and retraced his
