HARNESSING THE TIDES.
Power Near Large Cities That is Not
Utilized.

Power Near Large Cities That is Not
Utilized.
Fiom the North American Review
The tides Of the North and East rivers
produce power enough to generate all the
electricity to Eight New York and Brooklyn,
to do all the mechanical work in the fac
tories and machine shops, and to run all the
railroad lines in the city and suburbs. This
power is wasted, as formerly all of the
power of Niagara was allowed to expend it,
self IN a proftless way All that is required
is to store this immense power and turn 1.
into profitable use. The problem presented
differs somewhat from that OF Niagara. The
tides are periodic, and not constant. and the
power would have to be collected at the
times OF its greatest exertion and stored for
later use.
The Niagara people have already proposed
to run a line to New York to do what the
tides of the Hudson and East rivers would
accomplish right a home. Either undertake
ing is a large one, requiring the expenditure
Of millions of dollars. but the results would
more than Justify the outlay. An inexhauSt-
ible supply of power from outside would
prove blessing that could hardly be APP
preciated today. The present cumbersome
delivery OF coal to factories and private
houses would be abolished. and clean,
neat. pleasant method substituted.
What applies to New York and Brooklyn
would apply to many other cities. The tides
Of the Delaware and Chesapeake could be
converted into inexhaustib1e power to give
the cities along that coast perfect and
cheap electric plant.
The present outlook is that the Niagara
Falls Power Company VIII in time run an
electrical conduit to New York to supply
the motive and Lighting power OF the city
and suburbs, unless some enterprising body
of capitalists undertakes to utilize the
wasted power of the tides nearer at home.
A conduit capable of bringing lOc.0O TO
200 600 horse power from Niagara would
cost more than a four-track steam railway.
The investment of a similar amount in col
lecting and storing the power CT the tides in
the North and East rivers ought to yield

'ke ly war" 1t will be Of interest to trace
as far as possible the origin and meaning
of '.jejad," or holy war;"
1t Is understood to be a Mohammeds n
doctrine that iejad. or holy war. can only
be proclaimed by the Shiek-ul Islam. the
religious deputy of the sultan, by the per-
scral order of the sultan himself. The
proclamation Is performed by unfolding the
sanjaksherif, or flag OF the prophet, which
is made Of green silk, with a crescent at the
top OF the STAFF. to which is attached a
horsehair plume This flag Is deposited in
the Mosque of st. Sophia. at Constanti-
neple. 1t is not, however. the original flag
of the prophet, as that ensign was white,
and was made from the turban of the
koreish which Mahomet captured. For
this, some time later. was substituted q
tlack flag. made of the petticoat of Aye
sha, the favorite wife Of the prophet and
in whose arms he died.
Omar. the second Moslem caliph. obtained
pc secession of the flag by conquest and 1t
passed subsequently into the hands of the
Atassides and The Caliphs of Bagdad and

The unfurlu of the green flag among

Or LATE frequent reference has
been made to both the convention
and the understanding" between
Hawaii and Japan on the subject OF
coolies for the plantations. The
treaty is a public document, quite
formal and familiar TO all. 1t was
made between the late King Kala-
kaua and the Mikado when Walter
Murray Gibson was at the right
hand Of the Monarch of the
Islands. At that time the sugar
industry was in sad need of field
hands. Its great store in this line
was Chinese TO the number OF
2I,ooo. The understanding" was
that the Chinese were not to be in
creased in total and that their i'm
portafion beyond this limit was to
be within 500 or 600 in each quar-
ter. The total Of Chinese has been
reduced to about $1,000 or 10, 900
and the importation was but recently
resumed in a small way after a
complete cessation of several years,
The facts in the case are these, that
Hawaii has observed most rigidly
the terms Of the treaty and has more
than lived up to the agreements inn
piled by the unsealcd under
standing" The color Of possible
complications between this country
and Japan has been given through
the efforts Of opponents Of the Re
public. These individuals have
exerted themselves in advising res
ident japanese ambitious for fame
and fortune. This then is the ex-
tent Of the probability Of trouble.
