ECONOMY OF SPACE.
A Great Power Generating Station Which
Covers but Little Ground.

Covers Dut lslttso uHV"ss~s
Probably no other kinds Of power
nlants afford better illustrations OF the
tendency to concentration than some OF
the modern splcndidly equipped electric
stations in large cities. where ground
area has closely approached the r,axi-
mum in value, and in which. therefore.
economic considerations have dictated
the putting Of as much generating ap-
naratus into as little space as human
ingenuity would permit. with due re-
gard to satisfactory performance. In
some of these rtations vertical engines
and boilers ir large units have been
installed to the entire exclusion OF hori-
xontal designs, and in others, again, the
saving in ground space thus secured has
been still further augmented by setting
engines and boilers in tiers, one above
the other, giving n ratio OF horsepower
per square foot Of ground area which q
decade ago would have been thought
quite beyond the limits OF possibility.
In probably no station in the world
has this concentration been carried Out
TO greater degree, or to as great one
even. AZ in that Of the Edison Electric

in the city Of New York. The grount

COUTHOUI CONCERT.

| It is within safe lines to promise
our readers that the entertainment to
be given by this company at the
opera house, Feb. Sth, will excel any
thing in it's class ever known in Min
eral Point.
Jessie Couthoi is most remarkable
woman, rivalled by few elocutionists
of this country. and peer of the best.
This was the judgment that led to
her selection to read '"The Prophecy"
at the opening Of the worlds fair in
1893, an honor that any reader would
have esteemed mark of especial
favor.
Nellie Salome Thomas, the soprano
of the company, has for several years
been a recognized star in oratorio,
opera and concert circles of the best
class.
Geo. Hubbard Wilder, hutist, is a
musical genius, whose rare native
powers have been developed and
| trained under the best masters. He
is u composer of distinction and a
performer of merit on different in
strumcnts, but the mellitluOus flute is
his favorite, his playing of which is
indiscribably charming.
Ida j. Low is a piano accompanist
worthy of her famous associates.
Following are few of many sim
liar Communications of this superior
company by the public press.
Those who attended the entertain
ment heard one of the finest elocu-
tionists and dramatic readers that
has ever been in this city. Her rem
dition of King John, Act ~, was the
masterpiece of the evening. In it
she showed her wonderful powers of

An Oxford undergraduate of the thir-
teenth century was IA widely different be-
ing from his successor of the nineteenth,
who is surrounded by everything that can
conduce to IA life of studious enjoyment
and whose ideas of disorder, thanks to tho
efficiency of the double machinery of police
and proctors, do not run beyond casual

up u shifting mass of some hundreds of
students, lads of all ages, many of them
Irish or Welsh, some of good blood, the
great bulk apparently possessed of no more
property than few clothes and weapon
or two, lodging where they chose or where
they could, some at hall, some at tav
ern, many of them dependent on charity
for their very food, restless, noisy, quarrel
some, attached to the university by no
more than the loosest ties, plainly beyond
any sort of control.
Amid such an assemblago of unquiet
spirits, in an age when every man went
and had need to go armed, the university
statute which still forbids the carrying of
deadly weapons and the city regulation
that any armed person abroad at night
should be seen to his lodging by the watch,
were, as will be seen, no meaningless
forms. The most trivial occasional hot
word in a tavern-was apt to flare up into
brawl, and Il brawl was quick to grow

Early and Late Casters.

Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than March % or later than April 25, but
between these two dates it has II range OF
80 days. At the time of the council Of
Nice, 1916 A. d., it was agreed by the rep
resentatives present that from that time
forward Easter should fall on the first
Sunday after the full moon occurring on
or next after March 2l or, in other words,
ION the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the sun crosses tho line.
Since the above arrangement was adopt
cd by the great ecclesiastical council re-
fcrred to, Easter has fallen on March %
and on every date between that and April
25, but it is only after long intervals of
timo that it occurs on its extreme dates.
In 1886 Caster fell on April 20, its latest
possible date, an event which had not be-
fore occurred during the present century,
and which will not again occur until the
spring of 1913. The last time Easter fell
IN its earliest date was in 1918. This will
not happen again during this century or
the next.-St. Louis Republic

1t Is easy enough to tell man by his
friends, but 1t is impossible to tell o
woman by her lovers. Ono reason for this
is that man usually shows himself to his
fellows as he Is, but it is impossible for
his fellows to know how he shows himself
to woman, so long as he is in love with
hor. In that blissful condition the rude,
offhand man of business becomes to his
mistress picture of clumsy courtesy.

WARToN AND PRINCE FRED.
The Lsureato's Metrical Cant and Rhym-
ster's Brutal Candidness.

Warton of course is not man to be de-
spised, but his laureateship is only an
amusing episode at the end of his career.
His real work was historical and critical,
and had nothing to do with the annual
turning out of mechanical odes. But there
is some entertainment about Laureate
Warton. To begin with, Warton had been
doing the jobs of the office long before he
actually possessed it. When George lis
foolish son, the Prince of Wales, died in
1851, Warton broke out into metrical can't
about a nations tears, the fact being that
the nation did not shed or affect to shed
the most perflnctory tear on this particu-
lar occasion. There Was rhymster who
knew far better what the nation thought.
Here lies Prince Fed
Who was alive and is dead.

Had 1t been his brother.
Boomer than any other;
Had it been his sister.
There's 10 one would have missed her;
Had ii been the whole generation,
Best Of all for the nation;
But since it's only Fred,
There's no more to be said.
The writer of these lines never became
poet laureate.
Warton, however, did, and he is ready to
afford us another few minutes diversion.
1.-The Rolliad" is not much remembered
now, and it hardly has much claim on re-
membrance But more than 100 years
ago, when Whitehead died, it gained for
itself very fair share of popularity. Its
authors produced % series of mock odes,
supposed to be written by possible candi-
dates for the laureateship. They thus pref
acod their work:
I'm order to administer strict and inn
partial justice to the numerous candidates
for tho vacant poet laureateship, many of
whom arc Of illustrious birth and high
character, notice is hereby given that the
same form will be attended to in receiving
the names of the said candidates which Is
invariably observed in registering tho
court dancers. Each candidate is
expected to deliver in q probationary birth

ally to appear on "a future day to recito tho
