ALPINE TORRENTS IN HARNESS

""tor FoWcr NOW USED Co Light Noun
tain Villages with Electricity.
"All over the Tyrol, Switzerland, and
the Alpine country generally, you find
to-day curious conjunction Of tho
modern and the medieval in the village
streets, the stores and the inns" said n
traveller to Il New York Sun man re-
Gently. I'm the smallest, the most re-
mote and the most ancient villages in
the Hawaiian Alps, the Tyrol and the
Bernesc Obcrland you find the streets,
the stores, the inns, and not infrc-
Qucntly the houses, supplied with cleo
trio lights. l revisited last August a
little village back in the Tyrolcan
mountains, near Innsbruck, which is
one of the most charactcristicallv
medieval communities one could we'll
find. The people live in the houses of
their grandsircs, and follow their Gus
toms and ways.
This year arrived there in the
evening, and was amazed to find the
streets as brilliantly lighted us Broad
way, where formerly the only light
was from swinging horn lantern here
and there. There were clusters of in
candesccnt lights strung across the
streets every few yards The little inn
had complete installation, and so had
the few little shops. l was prepared
to learn that the formerly quiet village
had become n fashionable watering
place. But it hadn't. 1t was as quiet
and as slow, antiquated and out of
date as ever. Later, as l wandered
about the Tyrol and Switzerland, 1
found the same change everywhere.
1T is very natural that it should be
SO, too, for in all that region there is
power in supcrabundancc running
waste on every hand. From every
rock leaps cascade, and over every
cliff roars n waterfall; there are
streams that flow evenly with n steady,
small power and torrents that thunder
down with tons of force. The village
of Murrcn, pcrchcd on the edge of Il
cliff opposite the Jungfrau, at height
of five thousand feet above sea level,
has very complete electric lighting
system, and power enough within a
few hundred yards radius to light half
New York. The villages get their light
almost free,
This is, so far as could learn, the
very first use to which the vast water
power in the Alps has been put. Hith-
erto it has all run idle. Materialistic
travellers often wonder why Switzer-
land is not big manufacturing coun-
try Alas! it soon may be, now the
patient plodders there are finding what
wonderful capability for work is in

MACHlNE-MADE SPEECHES.
Turned Out with Marvellous Rapidly by q
Recent Engllsh Invention.

Turned Out with Marvellous Rapidity by a
Recent English Invention.
There is no doubt that both the type
writing machine and the photograph
arc very ingenious and useful invcn-
tions, but the chief difficulty with
them, says the New York Times, is
that they cannot be made to act auto
matically. 1t is in order to fill this
want that distinguished inventor,
whose maine is for the present with
held, has invented an automatic writer,
and, judging from the private cXhibi-
ton of the machine which was recently
given in London to n committee of
members of the Royal society, it bids
fair to prove the greatest invention of
this or any age.
In appearance the machine is said 10
be not wholly unlike Il typcwritlng
machine. 1t, however, is provided with
Il sort OF hopper, in which are placed
blocks of type metal, each one of which
is provided with complete word, in
stead of single letter When Ibis
hopper is filled and the small electric
engine which furnishes the motive
power of the machine is set in action it
instantly begins to print. OF course,
what is printed depends in a good de-
gree upon the selection of words which
are placed in the hopper, but it is un-
dcrstood the machine can be used for
almost uny sort of composition.
At the exhibition already mentioned
the hopper was filled with supply of
words relating TO the English political
situation, and in ten minutes after the
engine had been started the machine
had eprintcd two'full columns, each of
about the length of an ordinary col
umn of a newspaper. When these were
read they were instantly recognized to
be Il speech on home rule in the general
style of Mr.. Gladstone. The hopper
was next filed with choice selection
of the very finest words in the Ian
guagc, and the machine thcrcupon
printed what was at once perceived TO
be an essay after the manner of Mr..
Rnsllin on political economy. Moro
words were added and three pages of
what any critic would have unhcsi-
tatingly accepted rs passage from Il
new novel by Mr.. Meredith delighted
the committee. The last experiment
was made with the hopper filled with
words taken from the Slang Diction-
airy and the result was story in dia-
lcct which was held to be superior to
almost any dialect story hitherto pub

Expert Photography.

A recent lawsuit M Ohio, involving
the ownership of fifteen hundred acres
of valuable real estate, was settled
lately by the aid of photography. The
turning point of the suit was as to
whether an old deed executed seventy
five years ago had five signatures or
only four. There were spaces for five,
but only traces of four visible. The
clerk of the court was ordered to have
the deed photographed by an expert.
He took it to Washington for this pur-
pose. The negative developed some
evidence of the missing signature, but
on charging it ten times the whole
name came forth distinctly.

Dispersion of New England Families.

The extraordinary dispersion of New
England families is illustrated in let
ter written by William Chaplin Web
stcr, of Hudson, o., to the Hartford
Courant. MI. Webster says that his
eat-grandfathcr, Thomas Webster,
of Hebron, Conn, who lived to be
ninety-nine years and eight months
old, had Il family of thirteen children,
all but one or two of whom married
and some of whom settled near by
among them his grandfather. William
c. Webster is now in his eighty-ninth
year. When he was boy there were
four Webster families on four adjoin-
ing farms in that part of Hebron
known as Gilcad, and he can count up
fifty Webstcrs born and raised on those
farms. Now there is not Webster on
those farms, and the name has run out
in that neighborhood.

sand dollars. When the pu, chaser
called with notary to close UP the

husband having signed and passed it to
the wife, she positively refused to sign
without consideration, saying she had
spent her life i'll making the farm, and
had never realized anything she could
call her own and now was her oppor-
tunity. The husband failed to satisfy
her and secure the signature. Then the
purchaser asked to know what she
would take and sign the deed, fearful
that She would be cxacting beyond his
inclination to comply. After Il good
deal of hcsitancy She said she thought
she ought To have two dollars, which
he promptly handed her, and she
signed the title. She turned over the
silver dollars time and time again
