When the electrical water power
transmission scheme at Niagara falls is
finished, it will be the greatest enter
prise established for such purpose on the
globe. But it is by no means the first,
nor was it when it was planned. AL
ready in the west, particularly. on the
Pacific slope, water power transformed
into an electrical current has been sent
to places where power was needed miles
away. The San Antonio (Cal. Light
and Power company has for several
years dispatched power to plant 80
miles away. Scores Of other establish
ments in California and other western
states transmit power from water falls
electrically over anywhere from to Is
miles of wire. The great 5000 horse
power dynamo made for the Niagara
plant is constructed on the latest idea
of Tesla. If power can be sent electric
ally 80 miles, there is no reason why it
cannot be sent 200 miles. That seems
plain.

If legislatures undertake to pass laws
that women shall not wear large and
high hats to the theater, they ought also,
while they are about it, to affix to the law
a clause declaring that all men who 20
out for drinks between acts should take
seats next the aisle, so that whole row
of people will not have to rise each time
they dodge out 1t is poor rule that
will not work both ways. Meantime,
however, the sympathies of the public
are entirely with the movement against
the high hats. They are an annoyance
and an transportation that only those who
have sat behind one Of them at public
meeting can appreciate. One way to
abate the nuisance might be for a Sec
tion Of theater to be set specially apart
for the big hated ladies, where they
could have it all to themselves and an
noy nobody but themselves with their
towering Gainsboroughs.

HAIRLESS EcyDt. 4.

England may find it necessary to an
mex Egypt in the general interests of
civilization and the particular interests
of British trade. The solemn announce
ment of the London Times correspond
ent that the khedive is "giving alarm
ing proofs Of his unftness to discharge
the duties of ruler Of Egypt" hints
that England may consider it incum-
bent on her to depose him and put an
other in his place who will be the dog
to do Britain's barking. The unfit
ness the correspondent complains of
consists. as he explains, in the fact that
young Abbas is making it impossible
for any Egyptian ministry to work 10y
ally with England. This is the crime
Of Abbas, and it is an objectionable
one in British eyes. Still worse is the
suspicion entertained that Abbas would
like to make friends with France. In
the interests Of civilization Great Brit
ain will not even let the khedive choose
his own friends.
Significant is this from the CORE
spondent's letter: 1.-THE interests of
England require that the khedive's des-
perate course should be arrested With a
firm hand. This can only be done by a
sterner lesson than any yet received. I"
It is not at all unlikely that the pres
ent generation will see Egypt, the era
die Of civilization, colonial possession
Of England and in the condition in
which India now is. It is little better
now, in fact And what India is Eng
land will also make of China if she is
let alone. She will do it with express
sions Of sanctimonious can't about the
interests of Christianity and civilian
ton.
