THE CAPTURE OF NIAGARA.
The Great Wheel Pits and Power House of
the COmpany.

Next to the canal or reservoir to be
observed are the great and gloomy pits
at the bottom of which the turbine
wheels are placed. Standing in the
power house of the paper mill and
looking down into the pit, it seems al
most as though we were gazing into
the mouth of the Internal regions.
The workmen light piece of tow sat
urated with oil, and when it has famed
up into huge torch, let it down by a
rope to the bottom of the pit. Then
the visitor may see by the ghastly light
of this torch the rushing of the water
as it escapes from the wheel, and. COM
ing up from the depths, he hears an in
fernal diapason. The force of the
water is SO great that if man re-
ceived it upon his body he would be
crushed and shattered as though blown
from the mouth of a cannon. The
power is so great that turbine wheels
of almost perfect resisting tensile
strength have had to be made in order
to receive the force with safety. Some
of them are so large that it is possible
for a man to stand between the blades
and one photograph has been taken in
which Mr.. StetSon and some of the Of
ficers of the company are pictured thus
framed by these bronze blades. The
pits are cut out of the solid rock, and
the work was very expensive and diff
cult, consuming more time than the
engineers had estimated it would.
Over the greater of these pits is built
the electrical power house, building
designed by Stanford White, and sug-
gesting in its unique and impressive
architecture the enormus power to be
generated within, and giving in itself
some hint of the capacity of man to
master the forces of nature. As it now
stands it is one hundred and forty feet
long, but the company designs ulti-
mately to extend it three hundred feet.
At the same time the main wheel pit
will be extended until it is large
enough to contain ten turbine wheels
and ten dynamos, each of five
thousand horsepower. The water
wheels at the bottom of the pit are con-
nected by steel shafts to the dynamos,
which are upon the main floor, so that
the power of the water falling nearly
two hundred feet upon the wheels is
conveyed back to the surface and trans.
formed by the dynamos into electricity.
The dynamos are probably the finest
and largest of all the mechanical i'm
plements now employed for the develop
ment of electrical power. They are
built after the design of the Westing
house company, and embody the very
latest improvements in works of their
class. For the present only enough OF
them are to be set up to produce elec.
tricity equivalent to fifteen thousand
horsepower, and it is the design to de.
liver the greater part of this to the city
of Buffalo.-McClure's Magazine.

A PECULIAR CASE.
Physicians Puzzled by the Expert
ence Of Mrs. Bowen.
The Episcopal Hospital Said She Had
Consumption.
6From the Record Philadelphia. Pay

. (Froa the Record, Philadelphia. Pay
Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted
woman whose pale and emaciated face and
racl1ing cough proclaimed her the VIC
tim of consumption. She gave her name as
Mrs. Sallie q. Bowen, wife of Vim. g.
Bowen, residence, IS4y Meighan St, Phila-
delphia. The case was diagnosed and she
vas told plainly that she was in an ad-
ganced stage of consumption. The eXamin-
ing physician even showed her the sunken
place in her breast where the cavity in her
lung was supposed to exist. She went home
to her family broken, disheartened woman
with death staring her in the face. That was
the beginning of the story, the end was told
BY Mrs Bowen, who no longer expects TO
die, to a reporter who visited her home.
"The first symptoms of consumption came
In the form of terrible sweats, both night
and day. From April until September 1
was constantly cold and kept wrapped up
in blankets through the hottest weather. A
terrible cough took possession of me, my
breast was sore to the slightest touch, and
nv limbs were like Geld clay. The hardest
rubbing with the coarsest towel would not
create the slightest flush, and the least ex-
ertion would so exhaust me that could
barely gasp for water.
al went to the hospital in July and they
diagnosed my case as above stated. 1t
was when the clouds were the darkest
that the first CLINT of sunshine came. Mr.
Shelmerdine a friend, who lives around at
1874 Clementine St, said to me one day:
Mrs. Bowen. did you ever try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale Peoplel | had never
heard of the medicine, but in my condition
could not turn deaf ear to anything that
offered relief 1t was after considerable
thought and investigation that concluded
to discontinue all the medicine Twas taking,
including cod liver oil, and depend entirely
upon Pink Pills. l began to take the Pills,
at first with but little encouragement. The
first sign Of improvement was a warmth
and a tingling sensation in my limbs.
Finally the cough disappeared, my chest
lost its soreness and i began to gain flesh
until was fifteen pounds heavier. All this
l owe to DR. Williams Pink Pills, and
cannot praise them too highly"
Mrs. Bowen is a kindly faced lady OF
middle age, a church member well-kuOwn
and highly esteemed. She looks to-day
well and strong, and it seems almost i'm
possible that she was ever given up by
eminent physicians as an incurable con
sumptive. Yet such is the case beyond all
dispute
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary 20 give new life anC
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are for sale by all druggists,
or NAV be had by mail from DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. Schenectady, N. Y, for 5O(
per box, or six boxes for $3.50.

Result OF Extensive Improvements.

The Louisville, Evansville & st. Louis
Consolidated Railroad, Familiarity known
as the "Air Line" has shortened the run
ming time of its passenger trains between
st. Louis and Louisville one hour and twenty
minutes; but the many improvements re-
Gently made in the roadbed, bridges, tun-
nels, equipment, etc, will admit of a still
faster schedule, which will be made effect
i've as soon as necessities may require. The
facilities this line now gives the travelling
public make it the favorite line between St
Louis and Louisville. All trains depart
from terminals later and arrive earlier
than competitors. The patrons of the Air
Line can not fail to appreciate the efforts
of the management to furnish accommoda-
tions superior to any other line.
Between Evansville and Louisville, where
no competition exists, this being the only
through train service route, the time has
been shortened one-half hour.

Cleansing Rugs.

Ingram rugs and even Brussels
squares may be much improved by tie
following process After the rug has
been thoroughly beaten, it should be
spread on a clean, bare floor; wash with
soap and hot water, using a new, small
scrubbing brush, the spots that ara
most soiled, even going all over the
surface if possible, Wipe off the soap
places with clean cloth wrung out OF
hot water and then dry with other dry
cloths The best soap is OK gall, which
is so cleansing. After the carpet has
been cleaned in this way. open the
windows and keep off FROM it for day
or so. The improvement will pay for
the hard work.-N. Y. Void.

THE BOW AND ARROW.
Great Feats of the Ancient Archers-
Mahmoud Effendrs Shot.


From their perishable nature the bow
and arrow shaft have utterly disap-
peared, but the arrowhead has come
down to us by thousands in the river
drift and cave deposits which experts
place at a hundred thousand years ago.
With this, our very remote ancestors
used to slay the mammoth, the woolly
rhinoceros and the reindeer-animals
whose like our spOrtsmen of to-day
pursue with Express rifles and explo
sive bullets. In due time the bow be-
came finished weapon, and savage
man grew to use it with great skill,
both in hunting and in war. The bow
mans prowess, however, was not so
great as it has been represented by
writers of fiction, and there is little
doubt that just as the runner or the
boxer of to-day could beat the athlete
of antiquity, so the bowmen even of
these days when shooting is but pas
time could easily beat the redskin or the
African in feats of skill. 1t is at the
target, however, that he would excel,
not in the forest, for his woodcraft
would not enable him to get the oppor-
tunity of drawing his bow. Neither
savage nor modern toxophilite, how
ever, can hope to come up to the record
of Mahmoud Effendi. secretary to the
Turkish ambassador in England in 1895,
who, with Turkish bow, shot an ar
row four hundred and eighty-two yards
in the presence of three members of the
ToxOpilite society. Before such
range as this it is not so surprising to
be told of an arrow that pierced two
inches of brass or of another that, being
shot by a Welch archer at an armored
man on horse back, struck him on the
thigh, pierced the armor. his leg, his
leather saddle, and killed his horse.
The bow and arrow was at its height
at the battle of Flodden in 1913, when
the Scots yielded before the shower of
shafts which the bowmen poured upon
them, but already the knell of the fine
old arm had sounded.-London News

Senator Steiwer has introduced
a bill in the legislature remodeling
the form of deeds and leaving off
much of the legal verbiage, where
by the instrument is much short
ened and simplifed. The private
seal that is part of printed deeds
and scroIled with pen in written
deeds is entirely dispensed with.
Under the present law the absence
of this seal by accident or other
wise, affects the validity of the
deed. This bill is urgently sup
ported by lawyer members of the
senate, claiming that it will be a
great saving to their constituents
who have occasion to make deeds,
as the instrument will be much
shorter, costing less for attorney
work, and materially lessening the
expense of recording. The bill has
reached second reading and re-
ferred back to the judiciary com
mittee to be reported upon. The
bill will doubtless become a law.
