TheShoshone Falls of the Snake River of Idaho are said to be hard ly less important than those of Mi agara. A body of water nine hun dred feet wide has fali of two hun- dred and ten feet. It is stated that a company under the title of the Shoshone Falls Electric Power and Irrigation Company has obtained the water rights on both sides of the Falls, and will very soon begin operations. The first work of this company will be an attempt to re- claim the land in the Snake River Valley, which is at present unpro- ductive from lack of water, but the soil of which would otherwise be unsurpassed. To this end wires will be run up and down the river, and pumping stations operated by elec- tric motors of large capacity will be established at suitable points and by this means the water will be ele vated to canals through which 1t will be distributed to the adjacent lands.

The annual report of the Western
 Union Telegraph Company, which
 was submitted to the stockholders last week, showed that the revenues of the year ending June 30th last were $23,706,4 4O472, and the ex- penses for the same time $16, 6,307,- S57.10, leaving as surplus $7,390,- 547.62, The increase in revenues over the last previous year was S672,O78.13, and the expenses were reduced s120,S84.74. About $10,- 100000 was paid out for salaries, nearly 50 per cent of the years ex- penses. More than 600 additional offices were established. The earn ings for the transmissions of mes- sages of all classes were. $22 ,045, ,425 and the average toll per message was 31.6 cents.-Electrical Review.

Nearly all the steamship lines which carry the commerce of the world to and from the American shores have made special arrange ments for transporting freight and passengers Eext year in connection with the Columbian Fair at Chicago. Most of the lines expect that there will be a large influx of people from all over the world to see the big Exhibition. Not only from Eng land and Continental Europe, but from Japan, China, South America and the West Indies, tourists and exhibitors are expected to come in throngs, It will be all the easier for the transatlantic steamship com panies to handle the passengers, as the tide of travel will set westward in the spring and eastward in the fAll, two seasons when the normal passenger traffic is light.-New York Tribune.

The long proposed plan for sup plying Paris with hot-water foun- tains has been accomplished, one fountain being in working order. An automatic machine Is used, to which the water is conducted by means of subterranean pipes, It runs through a coiled up copper tubing three hundred feet long, and is heated during it's progress through thls by gas, which is turned on by a sou dropped into the slot. which amount furnishes eight liters. It is thought that this will be great help to the poorer classes, to whom fuel is luxury.

A great feat in telephoning and one which marks very important progress in this field was accom- plished a few days ago when the new line between New York and Chicago was formally opened. This is not only the longest distance yet attempted, but it is twice as great as that of any other telephone line in use. Some idea of the magnitude of the undertaking is had from the fact that nearly million pounds of copper wire are used in the line, and that the tariff is $9.00 for five minutes conversation, which for, say, twenty hours day represents an income of over $2,000 a day. It proved to work very successfully, even q whisper being distinctly audible.-The Electrical World.

Cargoes of brick have to be stow ed in the most careful manner, says the Boston Globe, or else the vessels carrying them will founder in the mildest weather, owing to othe strong tendency of the brick to absorb the water caused by the leakage which necessarily occurs on all wooden vessels. The brick will absorb the water as fast as it runs in from an ordinary leak, and the increased weight of the brick causes the yes sel to settle until she makes the final plunge, and the crew are frequently at loss to know the cause.

The election of Mir. Mcleod as president of the Boston and Maine Railway. with the control secured by the Reading of the New York and New England line and Pough- keepsie bridge, represents one of the greatest of recent railroad alliances. It means, in effect, the extension of the Reading system, which already reaches to the Potomac and the Ohio and to the Great Lakes in the Northwest, through New England and to Canada in the East.-Phila- delphia Times.

He felt Small.

A newspaper story appears in the Bainbridge (Ga.) Globe:
 "He walked in and put down a dollar, silver dollar, that clanked like a carriage wheel in the stiffness of tue sanctum. Said he:
 ." There take it and credit my subscription quick
 "'What's the matter?' we said.
 "'Well,' sad he, Hast week I was fishing out on Spring creek thun- der-storm came up, and it rained and thundered, and Tightening fash ed all around me. l crawled into hallow log to escapeit. The rain made the log swell up until I was fastened in and nearly squeezed to death. I began to think of all my sins and to repent, Suddenly I remembered that my subscrip ton to the Globe was not set tied up, and I felt so small about it that I was able to back right out of the log at once P"

A plan to light by electricity the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad between Broad Street Station, Phil adelphia, Pa, and Bryn Mawr, Pa,, on the main line, and between Frank ford and Broad street on the New York. division, is under considera- ton. If the project is carried out there will be practically no further use for headlights on the locomo- tives running between these points, and should the line of electric lights be continued all.... he way to New York, which is not improbable, the entire roadway will be as light as day at all times.-Engineering and Mining Journal.

The Protestant Church of Tallva.

The Protestant Church of Tallya, in which Kossuth was christened, has been rebuilt and decorated in honor of the aged patriot. The principal featuIe of the conservation ceremonies was the reading of long letter from Mr. Kossuth, from which the following is an extract: "You will consecrate the renovated church on my ninetieth birthday. Ninety years What a terribly long time for the life of one mani Why, ten such lives take us back to the time of Arpad. It is terrible for me to think that with all the blows of purposeless, joyless life, I should have to bear the burden of living beyond my ninetieth birthday. For me, the pariah without home, the Preachers words are full signifi- canoe, when he says that for the son of man the day of his death is bet ter than the day of his birth"

 The first mathematical prodigy of this century was Zerah Colburn, who was born in Vermont in 1904. When the child was only seven years old, his father, while working at his carpenters bench, heard him repeating a part of the multiplics- ton table and in jest said to him :: "How much is thirteen times ninety seven2" To his great surprise the correct answerwas given immediate ly. The following year, at Montpe- tier, he solved in three seconds such questions as What sum multiplied by itself will produce 9SS,OO1?" For three years he was exhibited Tn London, where, in less than half a minute, he gave the total number of seconds which had elapsed since the beginning of the Christian era. Another child wonder was Andre Marie Ampere, the founder of the science of electro-dynamics, who was born in 1775. Before he was six years old the little Andre could solve problems in five figures with out any previous instruction. At nearly the same time, Carl Frederic Gauss, born in 1777 at Brunswick, Germany, began to solve problems of four or five figures before he had heard the sound of numbers. At the age of thirty; Gauss was made director of the Gottingen Observa- tory, and in the laborious calcula- tions necessary in astronomy his great mathematical talent was in valuable. The latest wonder of this kind is the Piedmontese peasant, Jacques Inaudi, who. adds seven numbers of eight or ten figures in Q few seconds, and almost immediate ly finds the sixth or seventh root of large numbers. Tn allfour of these cases, as we'll as in similar ones less noted, a marvellous memory seems to be the chief mental qualification. Public Opinion.

The first lesson given to the free singing classes organized by Pro- lessor Damrosch at Cooper Union, New York City, October 23d, was an immense success, both in regard to the large number of applicants (2,5O0) and the enthusiasm display ed. Such genuine progress was made in the single lesson by the seven hundred students enrolled, that MT. Damrosch was delighted. and after testing the class in several ways exclaimed "I never had such a class in my life." The students are mostly young people of both sexes, from fifteen to twenty years of age, and are expected to attend every Sunday until tbe close of the season, May 14th.

Desiring that these souvenir be distributed as widely as possible among the people, and that all, ir- respective of locality, have an equal chance to obtain them, the Exposi- tion authorities have sought to pre- vent-syndicates and others from pur- chasing large quantities and thus
 'cornering" the sale. On the con- trary, they have arranged to supply banks, business houses and individ- uals in all parts of.the country with as many as they may desire to dis tribute among their patrons, GUS toners or friends.
