NIGHT HARNESS THE cANoooHEE.
\ scheme to Furnish savannah
Water Power.

= scheme TO Furnish savannah
Water Power.
Some time ago the Morning News pub
lished several articles regarding the de-
velopment OF the water power on the
Canoochee river. about twenty-five miles
from Savannah. The project was then
regarded a s premature. The city at that
time had but one electric road. while It
has now some fifty miles Of electric lines
in operation, and the electric lighting
business was small. compared TO what
it is now. The use of electricity having
rapidly increased from S75. 900 20 S1Q9. coo
to something like s25o.0o0 per annum.
Few progressive men to-day will look
upon the project of Harvesting the Can
Cochee river rapids and bringing the
power through electric transmission as a
visionary one when such examples as the
employment OF 10000 horse power at Nj
agara demonstrates its practicability It
is the intention Of the cataract company 10
transmit this power over 800 miles. in
fact. it has contracted to furnish the
Erie canal, which crosses New York state,
with a trolley wire and to supply cleo
tricity TO propel the canal boats.
The Transmission of electricity can now
be accomplished at a loss of only 20 per
cent. Many electrical construction COM
panies guarantee 50 per cent. of power de-
livered Atlanta is developing. too. water
powers on the Chattahoochee river at a
distance OF fifteen miles so as to secure
a cheap power. Baltimore has a similar
power, which also will be available short
ly. Savannah is probably the only city
on the South Atlantic seaboard that has
an available water power of such magni-
tude as the Canoochee rapids. which
can furnish power of 10000 horsepower
for twenty-four hours, or equal TO 25.000
horsepower for a 10 hours a day use.
The ground was surveyed by Mr.. Percy
Sugden and an available fall of over 40
feet was found. Some four miles below
the rapids, and still nearer to Savannah
the waste water could be used again and
a fall OF % or 90 feet would yield another
5000 or COCO horsepower.
While Savannah is now agitating the
encouragement of new manufacturing en-
terprises. it might be well to look into
this available power, which would give the
city the first and most important factor
for manufacturing, an abundant and
cheap power. Mr.. c. 3. Warrand has
looked into the matter, and says there is
no doubt that an electrical horsepower
could be rented fer s25 per annum, OF about
one-third of the cost of a horsepower
generated from coal. The cost Of OBJ
tanning the power at Canoochee, he says
would be comparatively small to what
other cities like Augusta or Columbia
have expended for their power. Probably
500. 900 or 100000, he thinks, would build
and equip such q. proportion Of the power
as could be used for the present with q
very large margin OF power left to be uti-
lized as the demand may increase.

PULLED IT'S OWN LEG.

In "a Restaurant.

The Way One-Legged Man Did II
In IA Restaurant.
There are many ways OF pulling e. mans
leg, but the man who pulls his own leg
and comes out ahead Of the game is now
in Savannah Early yesterday morning a
man about IS years old apparently walked
into Sullivan's restaurant, seated himself
at q table and ordered breakfast. lie was
not dressed In the latest style, but no III
ing was thought Of this He was evidently
hungry as he ordered a sirloin steak, soft
boiled eggs and coffee. He ordered a Sec
ond cup of coffee, and made several kicks
because things were not exactly to his
taste.
After finishing his meal the man walked
up TO the counter and coolly Informed
the cashier that he had no money, but
ne had cork leg which he was willing to
leave in pawn until he could get the
money to pay the amount Of his check
which amounted to % cents. The leg. he
said, cost him $50 and he would be certain
to redeem 81. The cashier was amazed
at the proposition, but told the man that
he could go back in the rear and pull his
leg off il he wished. The fellow did So
and presently came back with the leg
under his arm, making his way with the
aid of a pair of small canes. The cashier
told him that he did not want the leg
but the man insisted on his taking It. The
cashier declined to receive it, however
and told the fellow that he could go.
The man was determined to leave the
Leg behind him, however, and when he
got outside tossed IL to one Of Lewman's
workmen on the new Citizens Bank build
ing asking the workman to keep It for
him until he returned. He then hobbled
/ off on his canes. His purpose evidently
was to make a begging tour and he knew
that he could make a stronger appeal TO
the sympathy of the charitable il legless
than with a good pair OF pins under him
He probably solicited subscriptions yes
terday on the ground that he wanted
money with which to buy leg.
