WATBR-POWER,
American and European Methods OF
Using 1T in Large Way.

American and European Methods OF
Using 1T in a Large Way.
The standard American method of utiliz-
ing large amount of water-power has
hitherto been to distribute the water to the
several consumers or mill-owners by means
of system of headraces, so called, with
facilities for it's discharge at a lower Level,
to be utilized as the owner or lessee saw fit,
and generally on his own premises. This
led to long head canals and to insignificant
tailraces, whereas the Niagara plant con-
sists of common tailrace, a mile and
half long, with comparatively insignificant
he eadraces. The old-tim WATERPROOF er COM
pany sold or leased the right to draw
definite quantity of water at defined times,
with the privilege of discharging it lower
level, and the mill-owner did the rest;
whereas at Niagara Falls the right is leased
to discharge definite quantity of water
into the tailrace tunnel, with the privilege
of drawing this quantity from the head
canal or from the river. But over and
above this the product--power-may be
contracted for at Niagara Falls, delivered
on the shaft.
To create large group of mill sites of
the older sort there was necessary, in the
first instance, large continuous BODY of
land, properly located for the purpose. If
this could not be bought up secretly, and
in large blocks, the whole water power
enterprise would fail to come to fruition.
In Europe, however, several such enter
prises came into being in spite of the in
ability of the projectors to primarily buy
tracts of land such as have been described.
This was done by establishing central
power stations near the dam, or head
canal, and then transmitting the power
produced, instead of the water to produce
IT, to the consumers or real owners. Up
to within, say, five years, this had always
been accomplished by means of wire-rope
transmissions of power, and it is easy to
see that the invention of the electrical
transmission of power would give this
form of the utilization of a large water
power great impetus. Many such plants
are, therefore, already in existence, many
are building, but among them ali no one
is probably SO celebrated and is attracting
the attention of all intelligent men as this

far was favorite in those days when
say that even now, in my Goth year
but why should dwell upon that which
Is already sufficiently well known.
Our regiment of Hussars was quar-
tered with the Horse Chasseurs of the
Guard at Fontainbleau. 1t is, as you
know, but little place buried in the
heart of the forest, and 1t was wonder
full at this time to see it crowded with
grand dukes and electors and princes
who thronged round Napoleon like pup
pies round their master, each hoping
that some bone might be thrown to
him. There was more German than
French to be heard in the street, for
those who had helped us in the late
war had come to beg for reward, and
those who had opposed us had come
to try and escape their punishment.
And all the time our little man, with
his pale face and his cold gray eyes,
was riding to the hunt every morning,
silent and broodlng, all Of them fol-
lowing in his train in the hope that
some word would escape him. And
then when the humor seized him he
would throw 100 square miles to
that man, or snip as much off the other,
round Off one kingdom by a river. or
curtail another by chain Of noun
tains. That was how he used to do
business, this little artilleryman whom
we had raised so high with our sabres
and our bayonets. He was very civil
to us always, for he knew where his
power came from. We knew, also, and
showed 1t by the way in which we
carried ourselves. We were agreed,
you understand, that he was the finest
leader in the world, but we did not for
get that he had the finest men to lead.
Well, one day, l was seated In my
quarters playing cards with young
Regnier Of the Horse Chasseurs, when
the door opened and in walked La

what fine, staggering fellow he was.

or no, just that we might resemble oui
colonel We forgot that it was not
because he drank or gambled that the
Emperor was going to make him the
head of the light cavalry, but because
he had the surest eye for the nature OF
position or for the strength Of a
column, and the best judgment as to
when infantry could be broken, OF
whether guns were exposed, of any
man in the army. We were too young
to understand all that, however, so we
waXed our mustaches and clinked our
spurs and let the ferrules of our scab-
ards wear out by trailing them along
the pavement in the hope that we
should all become Lasalles. When he

who had taken guns at Austerlitz, and
two years had passed since the battle.
Or it might be that he wished to re-
ward be for my affair with the aid
de-camp of the Russian emperor. But
then, again, a. cold fit would seize me,
and l would fancy that he had sent for
me to reprimand me. There were a
few duels which he might have taken

little jokes in Paris since the peace.

said Lasalle. 1t was obvious that my
colonel had some idea of what was in
the wind. If he had not known that it
was to my advantage he would not
have been so cruel as to congratulate
me. My heart glowed with joy as this
conviction grew upon me, and l sat
, down to write to my mother and to tell
her that the emperor was waiting at
that very moment to have my opinion
upon matter of Importance. 1t made
me smile as l wrote it to think that,
wonderful as it appeared to me, It
would probably only confirm my
mother in her opinion of the emperor's
good sense.
At $50 heard a sabre come clanking
against every step of my wooden stair.
1t was Lasalle, and with him was lit

escaped him where rewards were to be
distributed. Still I was a colonel at

that have no reason to be dissatis-
fled with my career. Had the wars
lasted another two or three years
might have grasped my baton, and the
man who had his hand upon that was
only one stride from the throne. Murat
had changed his hussar's cap for

man might have done as much. How
ever, all those dreams were driven
away by Waterloo, and, although

When I told you some little time
ago how it was that I won the special
medal for valor, finished, as you will
doubtless remember, by repeating the
saying of the emperor that I had the
stoutest heart in all his armies. In
making that remark, Napoleon was
showing the insight for which he was
SO famous. He disfgured his sentence,
however, by adding something about
the thickness of my head. We will
pass that over. 1t Is ungenerous to
dwell upon the weaker moments of a
great man. I will only say this, that
when the emperor needed an agent he

but he could not get very far from his

perpetual peace at that moment France
would have taken a higher place than
any nation since the days of the Ro-

other things to think Of. All the girls

its long absence, and you may be sure
that 1 had my share Of any favors
