Arkansas.

The Little Rock Gazette has got every
body mixed up by bringing forward a
new pronunciation of the name Arkan-
sas. No one but Englishmen or Bosto-
mans pronounce the word as it is spelled.
1t was understood that the legislature of
the state sooe years ago officially fixed
the pronunciation as Arkansaw. Here
comes The Gazette, however, with a
poem entitled my Happy Little Home
In Arkansas" in which the final syllable
of Arkansas is made to rhyme first with
.'fow'' and then with below" This
indicates that the native pronunciation
of the name is not Arkansaw but Arkan.
SOW, and we are at sea again. The Ar
kansawyers or the Arkansowers should
settle this matter once for all. 1t is be
coming puzzling and annoying. Per.

Traveller, could put an end to the dis

long, if all goes well, be supplying mo-
tive power, light and heat to many near
by places, such as Buffalo and Roches-
ter, with a prospect of profitably trans
hitting it as far as New York city,
Cleveland, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and even to Chicago.
The scheme by which this is to be ac-
complished ranks among the greatest
engineering enterprises of the century
and is expected to be ready to begin OPP
erations by the LIST of next February.
An inlet canal taps the river about II
miles above the falls, conducting the
water to a great wheel pit, where a Sc
ries of gates admit it to pipes, called
penstocks, which will convey it to the
turbine wheels, 140 feet below. general
ing 5000 horsepower for each wheel and
conveying it by shafting to dynamos at
the surface.
After the water has done its work at
the turbines it will rush down by a tun-
mel about II miles in length, shaped like
i horseshoe and 200 feet beneath the
surface, and rejoin the river a few hun.
dred feet below the falls. The excava.
ton of this tunnel was the most impor.
tant, difficult and costly part Of the en-
tire undertaking. In its digging 1900
men were employed at an expenditure
Of $69, 900 a month. Ground was broken
for 1t on Oct. A, 1890, and it is now prac.
tically completed.
The outlet through which the tunnel
discharges into the river is said to be the
most solid piece of masonry of the kind
ever constructed. 1t would need to be,
for the water will whirl through it at the
rate of 224 feet a second. The company
has a franchise for a second tunnel on
the New York side of the river and for a
third on the Canadian side. and expects
to be able to produce 100, 900 horsepower
in each tunnel, which will hover the
, water at the falls about two inches.

Arabia with the or un0ertak-
ing explorations similar to those they
have carried on in other lands during the
past 10 years, which have been rich in
finds" of exceptional value to the archa-
ologist, the ethnologist, the geographer
and the mere antiquarian.
Mrs. Bent is Of Irish birth and family
and spent most of her girlhood In the
Emerald Isle, where she developed her
fondness for q healthy outdoor life. Be
fore her marriage she had Travelled con
siderably in Europe. and she first met
her husband in northern Norway. They
have a pleasant London house in Great
Cumberland place, which is a perfect
museum of antiquities, souvenirs and
curiosities, and a country house, Sutton
hall, in Cheshire.
1t was in 1884 that Mr.. and Mrs. Bent
began their work together by making
explorations along the shores of Greece.
The next year they went through the y
Cyclades isles and carried a good many
relics back to the British museum. The
year 1885 was partly spent in Sancos,
Patmos and other islands of the Grecian
archipelago and 1886 in Egypt. Rhodes
and Karpalthos. In 1887 they went back
to Egypt, visiting Thasos, an island near
Thrace, where they found some valuable
statues, which were stolen from them on
their homeward journey by the Turks.
Part of 1883 was spent in q sailing cruise
along the south coast of Lycia. and the
next year they went to Bahrein, on the
Persian gulf, from whence they went
across Persia and over the Caucasus, at.
tended by a special escort from the shah.
The famous expedition to Mashona-
land, the most dangerous and interest
ing of them all, was begun in January,
1891, and the intrepid travellers only got
back to England in the beginning of the
present year.

The Book He Wanted.

Odd demands are made ON the busy

envelope bearing a request that the con-

Nervous Excitabiiity AFTER Death.

Experiments made by M. dArsonval
with an instrument he calls q myophone
prove, contrary to the older opinion,
that nervous excitability may exist for
many hours after death. The old test Of
the muscle shortening is no doubt not
applicable long after death has departed,
but as the sound given out by the myo-
phone proves, the death of a nerve is
much less rapid than has been hitherto
supposed, and q nerve may act on mus
Gle in n state of electric excitability
without producing than simple
molecular vibration.

None of the structures at CALIFORNIA;
Midwinter exposition will be more dis
tinctively Californian than the Agricul-
tural and Horticultural building. 1t is
the third in size of the buildings, and its
dimensions are about 400 by 200 feet. Its
architecture is of the style in which the
early padres loved to erect their mission
buildings, with low round arches and
fiattened domes, a style that was peculiar
to early California, and is there distin-
guished as the mission" in much the
same way and with quite as much cor
rectness as the people of older states
speak of certain architectural forms as
colonial" The structure is, however,
much more ornate and fanciful In its
decorations than the early examples of
the padres work, which were severely
and Enthusiastically plain.
But if the building is distinctively
Californian in it's architecture, it will be
hardly less so in the character. of the
