A lady In Thomaston, Me-, has cat
-Fanny-which had kittens, as cats
so named frequently do. Hearing her
mistress remark that the kittens must
be drowned Fanny removed them one
day to safe hiding place. After a
day or two she brought them back to
the mistress with an air Of triumph.
1t was then seen that she had with
teeth and claws torn to pieces an old
canvas and cork life-preserver and had
fastened piece Of cork around each
kittens neck. Moved to pity by the
sight the mistress said: Fanny, not
one of your kittens shall ever be hurt. !"
At this the intelligent mother took off
the bits Of cork and went to sleep In
perfect confidence.

THE POWER OF RAIN.
80 Good Plan Has Yet Been Brought

80 Good Plan Has Yet Been Brought
Forward to Utilize 1t.
A Philadelphia engineer has figured
out that inch of rain, falling upon
an area of one square mile, is equiva-
lent to nearly 17,500,O00 gallons, weigh
ing 145, 100000 pounds, or 72,6O0 tons.
Assuming this water to have fallen
from clouds about half a mile, or, say
5000 feet, above the earth, we have for
the energy represented by it about o.
600 horsepower. With pumping ma
chinery working at the low rate of
consumption of 2 pounds of coal per
horsepower per hour, it would take 200
gross tons of coal to raise the water
represented by one inch of rain on a
square mile to the assumed height of
5000 feet. AS a matter of fact, rain
often falls from clouds which are at
much greater height than 5000 feet
above the ground, so that the figures
just given are quite conservative ones.
With all the talk that there has been
about utilizing waste energies, it seems
just a little peculiar that no promising
scheme has yet been evolved to turn to
good account the prodigious power
waste which thus far has been shown
to go on with every rainfall of any ac-
count And yet, while writing, prof
eet comes to my mind which was
advanced about ten years ago, appar-
emily in good faith, by some enterpris-
ing genius in the West Indies, to ac-
complish exactly this saying. What
he proposed to do was to conduct the
water from each roof, during heavy
ropIcaI storms, into main pipe sup
plying small turbine coupled to dy-
namo. The electricity so developed by
passing showers was to be stored in
accumulators, and these, as they be-
came charged in variable times, de-
pending, Of course, on the rainfall, We're
to be collected and stored at central
depots, from which the power was af-
terward to be distributed. Unfortu-
nately, however, this enticing scheme
did not materialize, so that the field is
still open for some one else-Cassin's
