A REVOLUTION ON THE CANALS.

Electricity is to be applied right
away as a motive power on the sta te
canals of New York. The state au-
thorities have issued permit to the
Cataract general electric company to
establish electric power plants along
the banks of the canal. Rates are
not to exceed $2Op per electrical horse
power for each season of naviga ton,
but the charges of the monopoly
thus granted will be further regulat-
ed by competing mule and steam
power. With this company is con-
nected an auxiliary company which
will build canal boats equipped to
show the advantages of the new
power. Both companies are SUBJ
sidiary to the Niagara power COM
pany, and the electrical power to be
used on the canals will be obtained
from Niagara falls and transmitted
all the way along to Albany. This
use of the Niagara falls to generate
electrical power for transmission to
various remote points promises a
great revolution in industry. 1t is
worth noting that such men as J.
PieIpont Morgan, William K. Van
derbilt, D. o. Mills, August Belmont
and other of like financial capacity
are back of the Niagara power COM
pany.

THE FLIGHT OF BEES.

MANY authors have attempted to
answer this question. but none have
succeeded. Theoretically, the solu
ton has been attempted by counting
the number of wing beats per sec
ond, and from that. to guess the
distance the bees fly from their hives.
The results have differed widely,
varying from two to twelve English
miles. According to Prof. Marcy's
"graphic method" the bees make
100 wing per second. His
method consists in fastening bee in
such way that its wings are free to
move, one of them touching lightly a
rotating cylinder covered with a
smooth and Lightly blackened paper.
Prof. Landois, who has studied the
sound apparatus of many animals,
thinks, from the pitch of the sounds
made by the vibrating wings, that
they move to and fro at the rate of
400 vibra lions per secOnd-mOre
than double Marcy's results.
According to Prof. Marcy's figures
100 wing beats per second would
bring the bee over distance of one
English mile per minute. IfProf. Ian
dois is right, the distance would be
two miles. According to these esti-
mates, it will not be far from the
truth to say that bees fly about
thirty English miles an hour, or
that, during an absence of twenty
minutes from the hive, they fly about
ten to twelve miles. Most observers,
however, are inclined to think that
the bees do not fly more than eighteen
or twenty miles an hour, because the
wing beats OF bee in freedom and
under the observers instrument are
not the same. Every one has OBJ
served the comparatively slow fight
of the bee when returning home,
loaded with honey and pollen.
Practical examinations shows that
experiments of this kind are not en-
tirely reliable. Better results are OBJ
tanned by observing bees in districts
where bees never before were found
or by introducing yellow bees where
only gray or brown ones are known,
or vice versa. In such cases, it has
been seen that the bees never went
more than four to five English miles
away at the utmost. The usual
distance was two miles. One instance
is known where a bee-keeper on an
island seven miles from the coast of
Texas, found that his bees went to
the mainland for honey and pollen.
A practical bee-keeper does not ex-
pect any great results from flower
fields three miles away. They should
be no more than two miles away in
straight line.-[W. M. S., in "Folke-

A NEW DISEASE.
People who are wearing away
because they cannot digest
their food.
They eat heartily but their food does
them good.

They eat heartily but their food does
them NO good.
Ifyou speak to your acquaintance you
will too often find someone who says to you:
MY food does me good. 1 have a good
even voracious, appetite. eat plenty and
enjoy what 1 eat, but I'm thin as rail-
My stomach pains me after meals. 1 get no
flesh strength from what 1 eat
This is not exactly disease. 1t is
attention. They are recognizing that at the
door of this disease may be laid the blame
for most of the dangerous sicknesses which
decimate the human race.
Consumption, Dyspepsia, rheumatism. Di-
abetes, Scrofula; all these, and many other
diseases, could be prevented or cured if a food
could be found that would do good
Doctors have recognized that in Paskola
they have such food. Made according to
Ghe strengthening fattening foods) pre-di-
gested, it is perhaps the only food which will
do good" to the most delicate stomach and
to the sickest dyspeptic.
Paskola is not medicine. 1t is aid to
medicine. 1t often does away with the need
for medicine.
