the machinery need not be stopped. A
canal leads around the reservoir and
connects directly with the pipe down
the mountain, and the reservoir can
be dispensed with if necessary.
1t is in the line of pipe which conveys
the water from the reservoir to the
power house ut the foot of the noun
tain, rather than in the canal and res
ervoir, that the chief interest lies.
Large pipes are met with often, but they
are small, compared with this one, car
rying water from a precipice I ,410 feet
in perpendicular height. 1t must be of
stronger construction than any boil
er made.
The steel in the pipe is one-fourth of
an inch thick at the upper end, grad
ually increasing until it reaches the bot
tom, where it is seven-eighths of an
inch. The pressure at the receiver is
610 pounds to the square inch, exceed
ing several times the pressure consid-
cred dangerous in a steam boiler. At
the top the pipe is "a inches in diane

creases, until at the receiver it is only
20 inches. Immense wire cables anchor
the pipe TO the solid rock of the noun
tain so it cannot slip.
After the 1900 feet of pipe were COM
pleted it was necessary to paint the in
side, and the only way to do this was
to send a man through it. A San Fran

work. A sled was made that would
pass through the pipe from the top.
1t was loaded with paint, brushes, wa
ter, food and candles and prepared with
ropes and pulleys to control the jour
ney. 1t was found impossible to do the
work in the daytime, because of the
roasting heat made in the pipe by the
suns beams on the metal.
The power house at the foot of the
mountain is built of granite. Here
are placed the wheels and dynamos.
At the lower end of the pipe is the
large steel receiver, out of which pro-
ject the noZzles that furnish water for
the wheels. The nozzles are of defect
ing pattern, with about one inch orifice,
and are made of phosphor bronze. The
nozzle is fastened into the receiver by a
ball-and-socket joint, and is so ar
ranged by means of a differential gov
ernor that when the waterwheel re-
wolves too rapidly the nozzle is defect
ed, and when the speed falls too low,
the nozzle is turned back to deliver it's
full force against the buckets of the
wheel.

The waterwheels are very STRONG put

The waterwheels are very strong, but
very light. Their general appearance
is that of heavy circular saws, with
large cup-like disks. These disks or
buckets are close together, and made
of phosphor bronze. The wheels re-
volve GOO times a minute.
There is not cog nor belt in the
power house, and, except the roar of
water on the wheels, scarcely a sound
is heard, so perfectly is all the machin-
cry adjusted. Each dynamo develops
400 horsepower. Space is provided for
additional dynamos when needed, but
the present installation supplies about
twice the power needed in Fresno at

present.

Florence, aged five, and Helen, aged
two, children of A. L. Stone,
of Anderson, Ind, had a most
extraordinary experience the other day.
The Stones live out in the suburbs. The
children are allowed to play around in
the yard. The other day they began
telling their parents about a nice worm
they had found out in the front Of the
house. They said it would curl around
and was such a nice thing. When they
measured off about three feet, when
asked how big it was, the parents were
startled. They went out to the spot
whsre the snake always came to the
children. They could find nothing
there. The children were called out
and moment later the snake came out
and began to play with them. 1t was
killed. 1t was a little over three feet
long and poisonous. Little Helen said
that at first it would open its mouth
real wide and stick out it's tongue, but
would not do it after day or so. 1t
was very evident that they were domes-
ticating it. The children cried when
their strange pet was laid out before
them dead.

UNIQUE CAUSE FOR DIVORCE.
Wife Objected to Entertaining the Hus-
bands Kin.

A divorce has been granted by the
district court at Atchison, Kan, that
falls outside of the ordinary. 1t was
granted principally on an allegation
that is unusual, to say the least, and
the courts ruling has been accepted as
justice, if not law, by great many peo-
pie, both wives and husbands, who
have been afflicted with too frequent
visitations from wife or husbands kin.
Laura E. Downey was divorced from
her husband, Harrison Downey, after a
brief marital life and restored to her
former name. Her principal allegation
was that shortly after her marriage to
Mr.. Downey her husband brought
numerous men, women and children to
her house and thrust them upon her for
entertainment, which was against her
wish and was q great expense.

made to keep the matter secret, but the

ride a bicycle. The young woman
managed to start the wheel down the
street at good pace, when she lost con-

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The character of the election must car
ry with it sweep in Congress perhaps
equal to, if not surprising, that made by
the Republican party in the election two
years ago 1t could not well go much
farther than this at the North, but the
probability is that the Democrats of the
South have lost several of the districts
which are represented by their party in
the present House of Representatives.
The majority for sound money elected to
that body must be very large. The Sen
ate, in the face of this demonstration of
opinion, cannot we'll resist following in the
same track. In point of fact, it is probab-
| ly assumed that the free silver majority
goes out of Congress on the 4th of March,
not to reappear again at any stage of the
nations history.

The corner stone of the First Universal

A cornet band LED the music VIM Pat
tangall, master of ceremonies, and Selden
Gilbert, pastor, were assisted by Revs. I.
}. Wright of the Methodist church, and c..
D. Crane of the Congregational church,
and lawyers John lynch and John c..
Talbot. There was large crowd present.
The writer recalls a time when the
Universalists had nei her a church nor a
settled pastor. j. A. Milliken, Esq, of
Cherryfield, for many years judge of pro-
bate for Washington county, used to
come to Machias onc4 a fortnight or once
month and hold services in the court
room. At that time there was only one
church edfice in the town, the Congrega-
tional. Later the Catholics built chapel.
and still later the Methodists built on a
lot nearly opposite the old Machias
House.

The Results of the Election.

The Boston Herald, which did good ser
vice during the campaign in behalf of
sound money and the national honor, has
the following interesting comments on the
results of the election:
THE CITIES OF THE LAND.
The Democratic party in this election
has thrown away one important strong
hold of its power in sacrificing the cities
OF the land 1t detied the business inter-
ests there, and it has met its answer.
Even New York has left it, an event alto
gether unparalleled in the political his
tory of the country within the memory of
man. This, if continued, amounts to
virtual Democratic humiliation in all save
the rural districts of the South 1t is an
astounding event, and one which no po-
litical prophet few years ago would have
ventured to predict as in the realm of pos
Sihility

many pieces of freshly charred wood,
quite like charcoal. A vessel may have
been burned. We kept a good lookout
for other wreckage or boats, but saw
nothing.
The weather turned very fine and the
winds again became closely related to the
family of Gains. We drifted up by Hat
teras and out of the Stream. After be-
ing in the tropics long time, when one
comes into soundings on our northern
coast he feels cold even in July, while in
October he can almost freeze. After get

night, and credited our side with $50.
Arrived in Baltimore safely, and so ends
this triangular, tri-continent voyage,
rather successfully, and without the loss
of the proverbial rope yarn.

FISH AND GAME. Game Wardens Neal
and Smith of Bangor made a seizure of
venison, partridges and ducks at the
Maine Central station at Bangor October
18th. The game came to Bangor on the
Bar Harbor train There were two hind
quarters of venison, a half dozen part
ridges and TWO ducks. They We're in a
trunk which had been cheok ed to Boston
The cartridges were ali done up separate
ly in paper bags and the venison was
wrapped i'll cloth SO that no blood would
escape from it. Game Warden Smith told
a Bangor Commercial reporter, that he
thought the cartridges We're taken with
SHARES, as he found no marks on them
| Indicating that they were shot..A re-
ward of five dollars has been offered by
Game Warden Berry for the destruction
of the heron which is catching the trout
in the brook, in Winthrop.... In report
sent to Mr.. O. B. Written, commissioner
of fisheries, by Fish Warden Lyman of
Bar Harbor he says that in his district
during September of this year 50 boats
captured SO, 220 Holsters as against 10, S91
for the same period of time in 1895. The
increase throughout the entire State will
be found to preserve about the same ratio
as shown in this district This is due to
the lobster law that does not permit lob
sters under ten and half inches to be
taken.

Catarrh Means Danger.

Because if unchecked it may lead directly to
consumption. Catarrh is caused by impure
blood. This fact is fully established. There
fore, it is useless to try to cure catarrh by
outward applications or inhalants. The true
way to cure catarrh is to purify the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparlla, the great blood puri-
fer, cures catarrh by its power to drive out
all impurities from the blood. Thousands
of people testify that they have been per-
fectly and permanently cured of catarrh by
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

THE GENERAL RESULT.

In Il Gf4NEhAl4 RESI- LIZ
1t is a landslide The most sanguine
anticipations of those who had faith and
confidence in the American people are
realized. They have proved anew their
capacity to be intrusted with self govern
ment, capacity which there has at no
time been serious occasion to doubt. The
Herald remarked ten days ago that Bryan
could not be elected without the American
people losing their identity. This has
been its firm conviction from the outset
1t has never wavered in its trust in their
intelligence and their sound Judgment.
From the day that the Chicago conven-
ton presented its candidates and its plat
form we have steadily prophesied the re-
buke of both at the hands of the voters
of the land. The conditions Of the con-
test made it inevitable, and this simply
because the contest was to be decided by
tile votes Of the American nation, the de-
scendants of the men who had brought it
into being, had themselves enjoyed the
benefits OF the government thus created,
had been instructed in its principles, and
had appreciated the benefits it conferred
There has been nothing in the incidents
of the campaign from the beginning to
its close to create any serious misgivngs
on this point, or to Justify doubt as to its
result. The manner in which men align
ed themselves on the respective sides was
in itself full guaranty, if any We're need
ed. One entire party, and that the strong
est, was committed by its initial action to
the defence of the integrity of the gov
eminent, and to it We're Joined much of
the intellect, the sound judgment, the
substantial citizenship of the other. This
was really a demonstration i'll advance of
what must of necessity follow 1t was a
rally of the American people to prove
that the nation which had attained the
eminence of our own was not an accidental
but logical product. 1t demonstrated
that we We're the United States that had
gained the respect of the world, and that
the people whom our institutions had
nutured were worthy of them.
In the face of all, how tleeting, feeble
and puerile appears the attempt to trans
form this government. 1t dashed against
the rock of the sound sense and the stern
integrity of the nation, and it dissoves as
the froth of the waves of the ocean. The
deluded men engaged in it have been
taught useful lesson, and the dema-
have found that the soil of our republic
furnishes no field for their folly or their
Vaccinations. 1t may be expected that
the great bulk of those whom they have
msled will speedily recover from their
error and reioin the ranks Of sound Amer
lean citizenship, becoming again sensible
and rejecting upholders of wise govern
ment.

The Voice of Chicago.


The Daily Papers Speak In no Uncertain Tone.
The Chicago papers Of "Wednesday morn
ing commented editorially on the result
of the election the day before, as follows
THE HERALD.
1t means that the nation honor has
been indicated: that every department of
the government will be maintained in its
integrity; that reputation is dead; that
revolution is rebuked; that mob law will
not be tolerated. 1t means that section
cannot be arrayed against section on any
political issue whatever in the lifetime of
this generation, and that the loyal South
vles with the loyal North and the loyal
West in devotion to the best interests of a
common country. lit means that capital
and labor are not to be pitted against each
other in life and death struggle and that
class is not to be arrayed against class in
internecne warfare to the shame of our
Christian civilization and to the reproael
of our manhood.
THE TRIBUNE, REPUBLICAN,.
The American people have preserved
their honesty and self respect. They
have defeated Bryan overwhelmingly and
have shown the world that they are not a
nation of cheats and anarchists. They
have voted that they will not swindle for
honors, and will not swndle one another.
They have put the ineffacable brand of
their condemnation on the brows of Bryan
and his accomplices. The sanctity of con
tracts has been upheld, and the infamous
attempt to put into effect a policy which
would violate millions aud destroy billions
of credit, has been trampled under foot.
TIE CHRONICLE.
A conspiracy was formed to betray and
wreck the Democratic party and to put
the Populst party in its place. The con
spirators included the Populist adventur-
ers and agents of every class in the noun
tain States, combined with the southern
Populistic unreconstructed rebels and hu
Klux clans and with time serving and
cowardly politicians Of all sections, who
by fraud and usurpation seized control of
the national convention at the Coliseum
held under Democratic call. This
would have been bad enough, but added
to this evil congregation were represen-
tatives of the worst elements of society
and politics. The real Democrats in the
convention were driven out OF silenced.
A declaration for free riot accompanied
their declaration for free silver
Altgeld and Tillman were put in the
place of Democratic leadership. A man
who made hystercal speech, with no
other merit and not Democrat, was
nominated for President. This perverted
action made Democratic victory impossi
BILE. This is the most instructive politi-
cal lesson of the century.
