The city of Sacramento, in Califor
mia, hitherto has been known princi.
pally as the official Western terminus
of the Central Pacific Railroad. 1t now
has taken on a new dignity. 1t is be-
Ing supplied with n vast current of
electric power obtained from the fall
of water in the American River at
Folsom, twenty-three miles away. The
fall of the river from the dam to the
terminus of the canal at Folsom is
eighty-two feet, and seventy feet of
this Is utilized for power purposes.
This will furnish some 10000 horse
power, so per cent. Of which can be
delivered at Sacramento when needed,
the other 20 per cent. being lost IN
generating and transmitting. Al pres
ent about 1000 horse power is availa-
BILE. and much of that was used last
week in moving the street cars during
the fair. or course 1t Is expected TO
do far more than this. The Bee of that
city says Sacramento is not only the
first city In the world TO receive cleo
trical energy from a distance so great,
but is to-day the only city in the world
that contains so large an electric plant,
1t has become the most favored spot
in the United States If not in the
world for manufactures, for here may
be obtained the cheapest and most
economical power, with a broad, free
river to transport the manufactured
products to deep sea water, and with
lines of railway radiating In all direc-
tons" But this Is not all. The
waters of the American River form
only one of the great number of
streams that How down into the great
valleys of the State from the Sierra
Nevada, and 1t is in contemplation to
use many of these, an additional slim
illus to the Improvement being fur
nished by the fact that coal Is expen-
sive in that region. Wires for the
transmission of power have long been
In use in the East and in Europe, but
only for short distances. The power
generated at the Falls Of Niagara Is
carried only seven miles from the
place of its birth, but it is evident that
IN extension there may be counted on
when the Niagara Falls Company sees
what is being done in and around Sac
ramento.

OVER MOUNTAINS.

My heart went roaming and flying
Where her treasure was;
The day was luridly dying,
A low wind sighed, "Aiasp"
There was no bird at all
Out of his nest SO warm;
Over the mountain wall
My heart went into the storm.
And when the night was mirk,
And on the shrieking sea
The wind was doing its work,
My heart came back to me;
Tapped at my window pane;
Out of the storm and din,
Out of the night and rain,
/ rose and let her in.
70 heart, like a frightened bird,
Heart, like a small gray dove,
Say, hast thou cen OIL heard
Anything of our lover
But v a word she said,
Her eye was leaden and dim,
Her breast had a stain of red,
She spake no word of him;
And whether she saw him OF not
Over the mountains gray,
Or whether he had forgot,
/ know not to this day.
Good Words.

persistently refused more strengthening
diet. He is showing the effects of his
abstinence and confinement and looks
pale and wan. Just why he dislikes to
eat is not known but some facetious wag
has said that the Chinaman was dieting
himself so that in case the jury should
bring in verdict of guilty, he would
not be heavy enough to make the rope
taut and consequently escape strangu-
