TURNED FAKIR.
An Englishman Who Adopted the Religion
OF tho Hindoos.

OF tho Hindoos.
A singular case of European turn
ing fakir. or Hindoo holy man-and
that in the most European ststion in
India-was lately brought to light,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. At Bishop
Cotton school, at Simla, there was once
an English boy named Charles de Reus-
selte. He got into some boyish scrape,
and, to avoid the consequences, abb
seconded. Search proved abortive, and
nothing more was heard Of the fugi-
tive. Itappears now that he had wan
dered no farther away than Mount
Takkho, just above. There he had
taken refuge with the fakir OF native
temple. He became first the holy mans
acolyte and eventually his successor.
His identity with the runaway school
boy was entirely lost, and the sanctity
of his life made him On cg eedingly in
fuential parsonage. Meantime, Charles
dc Rcusselte had become entitled to
large fortune, and was being advcr-
tiscd and sought for far and wide
without success. One day a corrc-
spondent of the Lucknow Gazette, who
CHANGED to be at Simla, fell in with the
fakir, and either discovered his secret
or had it communicated to him. But
the heir manifested no desire to claim
his Inheritance. On the contrary, he
assured the correspondent that he
should never revert to the religion Of
his fathers: nor ever return to civiliza-
ton. lie wa; quite happy where he was

firing In Both Army and Navy Less Ao-
curatc' Than Formerly.
The training Of naval artillerists has,
in recent years, been given good deal
of attention, and no end Of powder and
shot has been expended in target prac-
tice designed to serve more telling
purpose in actual warfare, should the
occasion present itself. 1twould seem,
therefore, says Casters Magazine, that
the floating equipments of fnaval powers
of to-day ought to give good accounts
themselves in point Of craftsmanship if
called into action, though it would be
presumptuous to undertake to fore
shadow possible results. If, on the
other hand, past experience counts for
anything, there would seem to have
been notable decline in accuracy in
naval gunnery, growing with success
sive improvements in naval architec-
ture and naval armament. 1t was esti-
mated some years ago, from data fur
nished by target practice at sea, that
heavy gun must be discharged fifty
times to make one effective hit. The
old smooth-bores were credited with
killing man by the discharge of the
guns weight in shot; in other words
three tons of thirty-two-pounder shot
were required for the purpose. Actual
service test with modern high-powcr
guns, however-guns weighing twelve
tons-has, within the past ten or twelve
wears, shown that it took about sixteen
tons Of projectiles to accomplish the
same thing. 1t is interesting to note
from what statistics arc available that
the introduction of riled muskets into
the armies has had somewhat similar
result. The old-time muslsets, it is
said, killed o man by firing at him his
own weight in lead bullets, but the
modern rife, in the hands of the aver
age soldier, so it has been figured out,
does not effect fatality until it has
discharged twice the mans weight in
lead. Both here, as we'll as in naval
shooting, therefore, there has been
shown to be an important demand for
greater skill and care: Whether this
has been met in any measure, future
hostilities only will tell.

NIAGARA'S POWER.
It Is Being Harnessed for Manufacturing
Purposes.


Purposes
Engineers have estimated that the
total water power OF Niagara falls is
seven million horse power. This esti.
mate, to be sure, is in the main only a
guess, but when the area drained into
the lakes above Lake Ontario and pass
ing through Niagara river be consid-
cred, the guess or estimate does not
seem to be too large. The water sur
face of the great lakes above Ontario is
$4,000 square miles, and the watershed
OF these lakes is 100000 square miles
more than twice the area of Great Brit
ain and Ireland. The total length of
shore line is 5000 miles, while the vol
ume Of water is 6,0OO cubic miles, of
which Lake Superior contains almost
one-half. The rate Of outflow at Buff
falo is from 217, 900 to 275, 900 cubic feet
per second, while the fall of the catar-
act is 1G5 feet. The volume of water
in the lakes is such that it has been es-
timated that even if no rain fell the
flow of the river would be continued at
its present rate for one hundred years
that is, If the lakes could be gradually
drained.
These are very large figures, says
Harper's Weekly, but in tho main they
are the results of exact measurements.
The small water powers i'll the world
are uneven, and are affected by floods
and droughts, but.this great power ut
Niagara is as constant as anything in
this world can be, not even the ice in
the severest and longest winter ever
known appreciably changing it. The
present plant is intended only to utilize
125,oOO horse. power, and the turbines
now in place are only for small part
of this. Other turbine wheels will be
put in place as tho demand for the
power grows. The general plan of the
company contemplates the ultimate use
of 45O, 900 horsepower on the American
side and like amount in Canada. Such
o power would turn oil the wheels
within radius of 500 miles of the
falls. At the present time considera-
BILE part Of the power developed is to be
taken to Buffalo by electric transmits
sion, and it is the confident expectation
of the electricians now at work on the
problem that the power con be taken
as tar east as Albany, 300 miles away,
and delivered there cheaper than power
can be generated by burning coal. If
this be SO, then all the country be-
tween Albany and the falls will be ad-
mirably adapted for manufacturing,
while the Erie canal will afford cheap
and tolerably quick transportation, for
there seems to be little difficulty in the
way Of hauling these boats by electric
nl power.

Tho Horse Came Back.

a horse that belonged to family Of
Bloomfield, N. Y, for twelve years was
sold two years ago. A few days after
the sale the animal returned to his old
master, and although the faithful beast
has been sold three time since then he
has invariably returned. During his ab-
sence setter dog has become attached
to the horse, and the loving pair take
all their trips together.

immense output OF Rold, pr1ceS were
seriously affected. Prior to 1850 the
annual product had never exceeded
$4,000, 900, or slightly more than will
be produced in the two states Of Cali.
tornia and Colorado this year. During
the next five years the annual average
was $137, 100000, the highest point
reached being in 1853, when the output
was S155, 900, 900. After that date there
WIS decline in production. In 1873,
twenty years later, the output was $685.
100000; in 1883 it was 1914, 100000. Last
year, however, the effect of the in
creased demand for gold was felt, and
the output reached and passed the fig
ures of 1853. The most careful. esti-
mates place this years production at
s17O,OO0,Oe For the four years since
1890 tho annual average exceeds that
OF 1S5O-'55 by s12,Ooo,oOo.
What is to be the effect Of these i'm
mense additions to the worlds supply
of gold? The increased production of
1s5O-1seO resulted in decline in the
purchasing power OF gold, or, expressed
differently, prices generally rose. The
same result should be seen this time
were it not for certain. other factors
that are at work. The increased sup
ply is in response to an increased de-
mand, and that demand will absorb
the surplus as it is produced. Again,
the worlds stock of gold is far greater
now than it was forty years ago, and
additions that would materially affect
the mass then would not be felt now.
It is therefore probable that, unless
continued for number of years, the
increased production will not affect the
business of the world. The effect In
California will, however, be different.
The annual addition OF fifteen to
twenty millions to the wealth OF this
state Is bound to affect all business
bcnefcially. One years output would
be sufficient to build the proposed rail-
road through tho Gan Joaquin valley.
The cost of new transcontinental line
would scarcely be felt if taken out OF
several years. output.

At seven and half minutes past 4
