alleged that the tunnels are failure

the electricity cost more in Buffalo

deayor to build up large manufactur-

this connection they have offered for
ty-hve acres of land and all necessary
buildings to the General Electric Com

General Electric's property at Schen-

doubtedly some truth in the report that
the General Electric wants to move its
plant from Schenectady and has Buff
falo In view. But we very much doubt
the allegation that the Niagara Falls
Power Company cannot cheaply trans
NIT their power to Buffalo, as such
improvements have been made within
the past few years that loss of electrical
power in Transmission has been re-
duced to minimum. The probabili-
ties are that this story about building
up city at Niagara is bluff" in or
der to bring Buffalo to its senses, as
there has been decided inclination on
the part OF its city council to bleed the
Niagara Falls Power Company by
threats to unduly limit its scale of
charges and length of franchise. Were
there any foundation in fact for the
failure of their ability to transmit
power to distance, the principle would
hold equally against the proposals of
certain local parties to establish a
large water-power on the Susquehanna
river, some forty miles from Baltimore,
for the purpose of selling electrical
power to the lighting and traction bust
ness of this city. But the genius of in
'vention has given new value to the
water-powers of the country. In Min
nesota capitalists are now engaged in
looking up long neglected waterfalls or
rapids in streams where the power is
susceptible of utilization at practic-
able cost, with view to buying and
improving the same.

FOR USERS OF SPECS"
Hints Which Wearers or Eye-G!asses
VIII Find Valuable.

Hints Which Wsarers or Eyeglasses
VIII Find Valuable.
The sizzling season" brings to the
man who wears glasses, either pinch
ers' or SPECS double burden Of woe.
and as it is the Recorders mission to
mitigate the sufferings of humanity, no
matter in what form it comes, these
hints are offered for the benefit of all
quadroculars. II you wear spectacles,
and they are of steel, the nose-piece will
certainly rust and discolor the skin in
addition to making it sore. To remedy
this have your optician put tiny bit
of cork under the bridge. You will
probably take your spectacles Off twen-
ty times day in the next three months
to wipe them. Little by little they will
get entirely out of focus, but so grad
ually that you will not know what the
matter is when your eyes hurt you.
Take your glasses to ar optician. They
make no charge for the job, and it takes
only minute or two to set them right.
Never use chamois skin to cleanse your
lenses. A drop or two of ammonia and
clean bit of linen is simplest and best
for the purpose. Do not fold your spec
tacles up. The threads of the little
screws thereby become loosened and
give great annoyance. If you are go
ing to be at the seaside much, get gold
frames. Salt water rusts steel ones in
a day or two. Don't use string or
chain if you wear eyeglasses. You will
break more lenses by catching your fin
ger in the string and pulling your
glasses off than in any other way. FL
nally, if you want safe place to keep
your glasses at night. and a place where
you will be sure to find them in the
morning, put them on the floor just
about eight inches under the head OF
the bed: There you cannot knock them
off or tread on them, and neither can
anybody else.

She Snapped Up at Him, but He Had
His Revenge.
The line of people waiting to cash
money orders at the post Office was long
and growing longer, and the late
corners were suffering from the heat
and the long period of standing, says
the Chicago Tribune. Far back at the
last end of the line man glanced
casually over the shoulder of the wom-
an in front of him and saw that the
order she carried open in her hand was
not drawn upon the post Office at all,
but upon prominent express COM
pany.
Excuse me. madam" he said, good
naturally, thinking to spare her fur
ther waiting; excuse me, but you have
come to the wrong place; you must
cash that order at the Office of the -
Express company"
Mind your own business" she
snapped back, turning her head to
glare fiercely at him. What right
have you to read my papers? guess
| know post-office order when / see
one, and, anyway, my son told me he
should send the money to the post
Office. I'll thank you to look after your
own affairs and let mine alone
The good natured man was mortified
at the reception of his well-meant sug-
gestion, and he made no further effort
to explain her mistake to her, but he
could not help smiling little when,
after another twenty minutes wait, she
reached the window and the clerk, Civ
ing hasty glance at the paper, re-
marked briefly: Wrong place,
! madam. Go to the express company"
The woman tried to argue the ques-
ton, but was told to pass on and she
stepped from the line, intently reading
the much-discussed order. When the
good-natured man had finished his own
business and was walking quickly
down the corridor he was stopped by
touch on his arm, and there she stood,
looking deprecatingly up at him and
holding out her paper.
Where did you say l should go to
get this cashed?" she asked, a trife
haughtily, and his own neck stiffened
Immediately at the remembrance of
her recent rude behavior.
Pardon me, madam he said, quiet
ly, "but am minding my own business
now" and, lifting his hat, he departed,

NO STAINED GLASS THERE.
Commander Booth Says None Shall b
Permitted in the New Building.

Permitted In the New Building.
Some newspaper men and women got
an impressive glimpse of the aims of
the Salvation Army one day last week,
says the New York Press. Commander
Booth was showing the party over the
new building just before it was opened
for public inspection. On each side Of
the stage in the auditorium is large
window and both give light enough by
day with the glass roof over the top to
make artificial lighting before shutdown
unnecessary. These two windows are
so situated that ones first thought Is
what a magnificent effect could be Gre
ated if the windows were filled with
stained glass. A young chit of wo-
man, a dinty little thing who does art
work for one of the city papers, voiced
what was probably in everybody's
mind when she said: "Of course you
hope that somebody will give you
stained glass for those two splendidly
situated windows, Commander Booth?"
To the surprise Of everybody the COM
mander replied to the young woman:
mo, never, never, never! We don't
want stained glass there nor anywhere
else. The aim of the Salvation Army
is to keep down near the lower strata Of
society. Stained glass Is beautiful to
look at, but it removes a religious or
ganization one or more steps from the
people. We won't have it because we
want to be as plain as the plainest and
as homely as the homeliest. We aim to
reach the great human family, the very
dregs, you may say, of humanity.
Never forget that We are pleased to
have the rich and wealthy patronize
us and even good-naturedly coddle us.
We thankfully accept your dollar. not
only because it does you good to give it,
but it helps US to get down nearer to
those we want to reach. We do not
want to rise. We want to go lower in
stead of higher. No stained glass for

A notable example of a big result

the fact that lead-pencil users have
Whitfield away several big forests Of
cedar trees in Europe and the supply
Of wood suitable for lead pencils is
practically exhausted in the old world.
An order has just been placed by a

is found to be the best wood now avail
able for pencils. The sequoia is the
