WASHINGTON, April 26, AT the cabinet

was not, however, considered advantage
Gus to the government. This was the cul-
minatiou of several propositions submitted,
one of which was declined last Saturday.
A counter proposition was then made by
the bankers to the secretary Of the treasury
which was received last Monday. This was
also rejected and in turn the secretary sub
mtted a proposition to them which they
also refused to accept. All negotiations
therefore between the treasury department,
and the New Y ork bankers are otf. at least

THE belief is gaining strength that
5he model farm Of the future will be
an electric one. The necessary cur
rent can be obtained by utilizing the
wasted forces Of nature-the water
falls being sufficient in many places,
while ia others wind mills can be
used in connection with storage
batteries. Inventions are undoubtedly
capable Of adapting electric machines
to every kind of farm work, WithIwall
made roads, electrically lighted houses
and a well planned equipment Of elec
trio machinery-including, possibly,
electric carts and cRrriages-the lot o
the tiller of the soil will be greatly
improved.

THE experiments being made with
storage battery cars in New York have
been so far successful that they leave
little OF no room for doubt in regard
to their ultimate triumph, which will
mean the total abolition Of the
trolley. The facts already aseertained
in New York as to the practicabihty
of this motor have no doubt set pas
seuger railway managers to thinking,
and can scarcely fail to lead to the
long desired result Of motor that will
dispense with traction, trolley, hors,
and steam power on the streets.

AT last the principle of turning the
wasted power Of rsilway-car axles into
a means of providing light for the cars
interior has been practically applied.
The axles have been made to run
dynamos, which supply steady lights
while the cars are in motion, and
which feed the storage batteries to
keep the lights going when the train
stops. This is a marked advance in
the matter of railway lighting, as each
car can now have its own Independent
system. 1t would seem that the great
railway lines should be prompt TO take
up the new plan.

A Great Texas Dam.

The great dam at Austin, Texas, Is
l 200 feet long, sixty-six feet wide at
the base, and l6 feet on top, and is
sixty feet high from low-water mark.
It is estimated in round figures that
%, 600 carloads of material of the
different kinds used were required for
its construction. There are over 93,
600 cubic yards of masonry laid with
some IS. 600 barrels of Portland ce-
ment The material used, as stated
by Secretary Oliphant, embraced 4, 4Sl
carloads of granite, 14,307 of lime
stone. 456 of cement, and 2,736 of
sand This loaded into cars would make
a solid train over ITO miles long The
estimated cost Of the structure was 1901,
$50. and the actual cost S605. 900, the
extra cost being due to some exactions
not originally contemplated This
difference, however, has been more
than offset by securing superior water
and lights, advantages below the
estimated cost, so that there will be
considerable halsnce--left If Ill.,

supply system is completed.
There is now on hand in round
figures S62, QUO in cash to the credit of
the fund, with $780, 900 of the bonds
remaining. In addition to this there
is $40, 900 invested in the dam railroad.
The water works will have two pumps
of daily capacity of 4, 600, 900 gallons.
Contracts have been let for fortv-two
miles of piping. The electrical plant will
have ten dynamos of $4,000 sixteen
candle power each for domestic and
commercial lighting, and two dynamos
of like capacity for street lighting.
For moving cars and other motors
there will be four dvnamos each of
120-horse power. The water horse
power is provided with eight penstocks
each, nine feet fin diameter, for regu-
lating the flow and distribution of
water in the dam. Bernard Corrigan,
contractor for building the dam, was
two years engaged in that part of the
work, and has 1914, 900 yet due him IN
