DIFFICULT TASK.

The steel ring for generator No. c
at the Niagara Power company new
plant Is now at the shop OF the West
lnghouso company, and Is attracting
a great deal OF attention from steel
men. as well as from electricians. Il
IL regarded as one OF the very finest
pieces OF work ever turned out. II was
forged at bethlehem. Pa. The ring Is
considerably the largest OF the kind
ever cast. II Is II feet ~ inches In
diameter. about feet high and weighs
$1,000 pounds II cost over $1,000. The
making OF the ring was an exceedingly
difficult task. A nickel steel ingot a.
feet In diameter at the bottom and 81
feet long was east. A hole was then
bored through Il lcngthwlse. A block
OF the proper weight was then cut from
the lngot. and the cylinder thus OBJ
talnod was heated and. under a hy.
draulio pressure OF $4,000 tons, was ex-
banded to the present size. II would
be Just like cutting from a lead pencil
section half an inch long. boring the
lead out OF It and then expanding the
wood to n ring an Inch In diameter.
The ring had to be forged to a perfect
circle, ana In such a way as to pre-
vent the possibility OF weakness In any
part, for, when the tremendous pres.
sure OF Niagara Is brought to bear on
the turbine, which will turn the ring.
II will reyolve around the armaure at
the rate OF $50 revolutions per minute.
The electrical energy thus obtained will
be 5000 horse power.

NEW FOOD FOR WILD FOWL.
An Experiment with Chinese Plants on
Columbia Slough Lakes

An Experiment with ChIneae Plants on
Columbia Slough Lakes.
The carp having played havoc with
the wapatoes in the sloughs and ponds
on Sauvics island, on which the ducks,
geese and swan used to feed, Mr..
Reeder,. of Reeder's Landing, has Sc
cured lot of Chinese wapatoes, which
he will plant as an experiment, and, if
they do well, will try to introduce
them In the lakes, ETC., says the Port
land Oregonian. The Chinese here
consume n great many wapatoes, and
also bring over from China many which
are of different species, being larfrcr
and roundcr. The only Improvement
they will be on the native kind is that
they are too large for a carp to
swallow, while the ducks, etc, can
perhaps bite them in pieces and swallow
them.
Several efforts have been made to
introduce plants on the island which
might attract the waterfowl and take
tho place of the wapatoes and widpeon
weed, but all such attempts have
proved failures. Wild rice by the sack
has been brought from Wisconsin and
sowed here; the seeds of the wild
celery, which gives flavor to the can
vasbacks of the Potomac and the
Chesapeake, have been sown, and the
seeds of the "wokus," on which ducks
fatten at the Klamath lakes, have been
planted; but none of them fourished
The June rise of the Columbia is a very
different thing from what any of these
plants have been accustomed to, and
covers them with several feet eff water
just at the time when they should be
making their growth. If something
cannot be done to preserve the native
plants on which the ducks, geese, and
swan feed the next generation will
have no wildfowl shooting on the
Sauvies island.

A good woman whose heart is set

which she persuades her wealthy

On the steamer she did little else but
crochet things and then sell thcEn-ex.

in filling diary. Some OF the friends

the girl, after little reflection.
The man offered five dollars. That
was too little, the young lady declared,
and finally, one thing leading to an

piled bid upon bid, till the price stood
at sixty-fve dollars.

nothing for the joker to do but to re-
turn it unopened, with his compli-

A Romance of tho peeraee.

In very interesting article, "The
Wives Of Eminent Statesmen" in the
Woman at Home, we read of romance
connected with the marriage OF the
present marquis and marchioness Of
Salisbury. A judges daughter was not
considered a sufficient match for the
son OF marquis. The late Lord Sails
bury tried to prevent the match, but as
his son, then Lord Robert Cecil, was
persistent, he so far relented as to
make terms. These were that Lord
Robert should undertake not to see or
communicate with Miss Anderson for
an entire year. The young lover stood
the test, and at the close of the year he
obtained his fathers consent; but the
marquis, while continuing his allow
ance of six hundred pounds year, de-
clined to increase it. = So runs the
story; and it has been said that the me-
cessity OF doing something for his own
support may have assisted to develop
the noble lords talent.
