The belief in Chinese Columbus was
first allowed by scholars only about
fifty years ago. The claim is: that a
Buddhist priest in the fifth century
crossed the Pacific to this continent and
returned, making written report Of
his discovery. The report still. exists.

ELECTRIC HARNESS ON A RIVER.

A massachusetts Scheme Which Is
Expected to Build q Manufacturinr
Town.
Conway village, in Massachusetts
three miles and half from the well
known summer resort of Aslafeld, is
10 De converted into bustling manu-
featuring town and market center, if
an ambitious water-power scheme de-
scribed by the New York Evening Post
now on foot is ever eons0mmated. 1t
involves the Harvesting up Of South
river by the electricians. Conway. it
Is true, already has cotton and wooden
mills, but they are not large enough to
give 1t distinction asa factory town..
In the four miles of it's course. from,
Conway Center to the Dcerfeld river,
South river falls several hundred feet.
rushing down over rocks and lodges,
and then out over a sandy bed, but
always confined between high hills,
which in places become almost inacces-
slble cliffs. This valuable water power
has hitherto been lost to manufacture
ers. Some distance before the Deer
field river is reached q ledge Of rock
rises sixty to one hundred feet above
the bed Of the stream, extends at right
angles from the north wall Of the river
gorge to within ninety-five feet Of the
opposite wall, and forms almost per-
feet dam. 1t is proposed to complete
this dam, by which means the water
could be made to flow back three
fourths Of q mile and a. capacity Of
125,000,O00 gallons could be obtained
The depth Of the water just above the
dam would be nearly sixty feet; 1000
feet from the dam it would measure
forty-ive' feet, and cne-half mile
back twenty-five and one-half feet. The
proposed power house for the genera
ton Of electricity will be located $50 feet
, below the dam, and the fall from the
top Of the dam to- the water wheels
will be 1O8 feet. It is estimated that
with two fifteen-inch wheels on a hori-
Total shaft over 600 horse power can
be developed. The electricity generated
will be used chiefly to operate an cleo
trio railroad for freight and passengers
between Conway Center and the steam
railroad in the valley. The result would
be to bring Conway into touch with
the outer world and to make Of it
| the railroad town for pastoral Ash1ield.
| Another prospective use for the cleo
| tricity is the transmission Of the cur
rent to neighboring towns or cities for
lighting purposes. Northampton is only
| fifteen miles distant, and electricians
| say that a current could be sent to
that place sufficiently strong to light the
whole city.

the basis Of personal encounter, such as

and not only continue the prohibition Of
the acts already ruled out, including
kicking, biting, gouging, etc., but add
