WATER POWER.
American and European Methods OF Using
1t In % Largo Way.


Tho standard American method of
ntlllzlng large amount of water power
has hitherto been to distribute the wa
ter to the several consumers or mill
owners by means of system of head
races, so called, with facilities for its
discharge at lower level, to be utilized
us the owner or lessee saw fit, and GEN
orally on his own premises. This led to
long head canals and to insignificant
tail races, whereas the Niagara plant con-
blsts OF common tail race, mile and q
half long, with comparatively insignifi-
cant head races. The old time water
power company sold or leased the right
to draw definite quantity Of water ut
defined times, with the privilege of dis
charging it at a lower level, and the
mill owner did the rest, whereas at
Niagara Falls the right is leased to dis
charge definite quantity of water into
the tail race tunnel, with the privilege of
drawing this quantity from the head
canal, or from the river But over and
above this the product-power-m be
contracted for at Niagara Falls, deliy-
cred on the shaft
To create q large group of mill sites
OF the Older sort there was necessary, in
the first instance, Il large, continuous
body of land, properly located for the
purpose. If this could not be bought ND
secretly, and i'll large blocks, the whole
water power enterprise would fail to
como to fruition. In Europe, however,
several such enterprises came into being
in spite of tho inability 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 trans
hitting the power produced, instead of
the water to produce it, to the consul
mers or mill owners. Up to within, say,
five years, this had always been accom-
pllshed by means of wire rope trans
missions of power, and it is easy to see
that the invention of the electrical trans
mission of power would give this form
of the utilization of large water pow
or great impetus. Many such plants
hre therefore already i'll existence, many
hre building, but among them all 10
one is probably so celebrated and is at
tracing the attention of all Intelligent
men as this ut Niagara Falls. -Cassier's

A POINTER FOR THE CARELESS.
How Unused Railway Tickets May BE Re
deemed at Slight Cost


Some men with valuable unused rail
way tickets on their hands sell them to
scalpers, while others go to tho railway
company that issued them and obtain
their value i'll money. Most men, how
ever, do Mother, and accept the loss
when tho ticket is worth less than IL dol
lar. Indeed, many men do not realize
that railway companies stand ready to
redeem unused tickets even of small
value, so that tho companies must be
richer by many thousands of dollars
per year by reason of this neglect or ig-
norancc.
Every railway ticket bears the namo
OF the general passenger agent of tho
road issuing the same. 1t is simple
matter to inclosc tho ticket with Il let
ter directed TO the general passenger
agent asking him to refund the money
paid and explaining tho reason why
the ticket is left unused III the hands of
the purchaser. 1t is courteous to incloso
stamped envelope in which the money
may be returned.
When all these things havo been dono
the company usually acknowledges tho
receipt of the ticket holders communi-
cation and promises to investigate tho
matter. The investigation consists in
the proper identification of the ticket
and a little bookkeeping to set all right
III the accounts. Then the purchaser re-
ceivcs from tho company u check for the
amount due, along with n letter request
ing acknowledgement on the part of the
recipient. That closes tho transaction
and there is 10 material loss OH either
side. -NGsv York Sun

following interesting information:
FTbe last census report gave q total
population OF 1850. but observation
showed that after that report given in
November. 1898. the population must
have dropped considerably below that
number. To day, although in the heat
of sumner. when the habitants Of

Roanoke contains to day 3,I65 oc.
cupied dwellings, 9, 406 Of which are oc-
cupied by white people. OF this latter
number only 965 are occupied by the
same families who were in possession
two years ago, while the colored people
OF the city have almost moved bodily.
OF the 1868 names contained in the
previous volume also are omitted from
this book and 2.410 added, making the
total names contained therein 7,193. 1t
should be explained that many of the
omitted names are those Of people who
resided at Nor wich, Vinton and Salem,

effect the count OF population of the
