A Tale of Horror from Italy.

The following authentic news
comes from Italy: A short time ago
the musician Carmolo, of Catania,
cruelty butchered not less than TWEEN
ty-four children to saturate the
ground with their blood, thereby to
discover hidden treasure. The tiend
was hunted down, but became vio-
lently insane, and died in lunatic
asylum. The horrible occurrence
has just been repeated. During the
last few days twenty children had
been kidnapped out of the town of
Cibali and Santa Sofia, and were later
on found dead-the bodies having
been cut open-in the woods near by.
At the same time the parents of the
victims received anonymous letters,
asking them not to take the matter
to heart, as by means of the blood of
the children vast treasure would be
found, out Of which they were to be
amply Unidentified. So far the per-
petrator or perpetrators of the hor-
rible deed remain undiscovered

HARNESSING NlA1A"H'
UtiIizina the Great CatarsS'
Water Power.

Engineers have estimated that tne
total water-power of Niagara rails
is seven million horsepower. lliio
estimate, to be sure, is in the man
only a guess, but when the area area
drained into the lakes ABOVE LAM
ontario, and passing through the
NIAGARA River be considered, the
Guess or estimate does not seem W
he too large. The water surface "
The Great Lakes above Ontario IS
$4,000 square miles, and the WATER
shed of these lakes is $40, 600 square,
miles-more than twice the area OF
Great Britain and Ireland. The total
length of shore-line is 5000 miles,
while the volume Of water IS o'ooo
cubic miles, of which Lake Superior
contains almost one-half. Inc raee
of outflow at Buffalo is from 2l''ooo
TO 275. 900 cubic feet per second,
while the fall of the cataract is 100
feet. The volume of water IN the
lakes is such that it has been estl-
mated that even if no rain fell the
flow of the river would be continued
at it's present rate for one hundred
vears-that is, if the lakes could be
gradually drained.
These are very large figures, but
in the main they are the result
of exact measurements. The small
water-powers in the world are
uneven, and are affected by floods ana
droughts, but this great power at
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, 900 horsepower, and
the turbines now in place are only
for small part of this. Other tur-
bine wheels will be put in place as
the demand for the power grows.
The general plan of the company
contemplates the ultimate use OF
$50, 900 horsepower on the American
side and like amount in Canada.
Such power would turn all the
wheels within a radius of five hun
dred miles of the Falls. At the pre-
sent time a considerable part of the
power developed is to be taken to
Buffalo by electric transmission, and
it is the confident expectation of the
electricians now at work on the pro-
blem that the power can be taken as
far east as Albany three hundred
miles away, and delivered there
cheaper than power can be generated
by burning coal. II this be So then
all the country between Albany and
the Falls will be admirably adapted
for manufacturing, while the Erie
canal will afford cheap and tolerablv
quick transportation, for there seems
to be little difficulty in the way of
hauling these boats by electrical
power.- Harper's Weekly,

Electric Yict0rias.

In Berlin, we are told, there are
teveral Victorias which take their
owners in and out of the city each
day. They have been built by Ger
man electricians, have storage batter
fes, and are guided by man who sits
In the drivers seat. In Paris there are
also three or four steam and electrical
carriages which are permitted by the
authorities of the city to travel over
the streets and boulevards of the town.
They apparently work with entire
smoothness and certainty, and roll
along swiftly and only frightena small
percentage of horses. In New York
there are two electric carriages which
occasionally arouse the sightseers on
Fifth avenue and in Central Park;
but there is, as yet, no demand for
ponveyances of this kind from the

May Die by Proxy.

The steamship Sikh sailing for the
Orient the other day, from Port
Townsend Wash. carried away three
Chinese who are in a peculiar
predicament. They left China at the
beginning of the trouble with Japan,
landed at Victoria and made their
way across the Continent, attempt
ing an entrance into New York.
They were captured and ordered de-
ported, being brought to Port Towns
end in charge of three marshals, at a
cost of So, 600.
The penalty of desertion in China
is death, so that when they arrive in
Hong Kong they will be sentenced
to death. This fact prompted sever
al local humanitarians to interest
themselves in the case with the re-
suit of developing the remarkable
fact that though sentence of death
be passed the culprit need not neces-
sarily die.
Fear of death is conspicuously alb
sent among Chinese, and only in the
case of the better classes who appre-
ciate the stigma is any attempt made
to avert that fate. This is easily ac-
comp!ished by furnishing substi-
tute, usually a coolie, who for small
pecuniary payment, and time in
which to spend the same, will will
lingly take the place of the condem-
ned man.
AS the three Chinese are all well
provided with money it is more than
likely they will suffer death by proxy.

Queer Chinese Sayings

When the Chinese wish to describe
a person who pretends to be very
brave and makes great parade in order
to show his courage, they say that
she is cutting off a hen head with a
battle axe" A coward who boasts of
his courage they call II paper tiger. "
They compare person who pretends
to be what he is not, to fox who tries
to look as noble and strong as II tiger.
If person is ignorant Of books, they
will say, Turn him upside down,
but not drop of ink will come out
of him."
