AMERICANS GREAT COURAGE.
Possibilities in Long-Distance Electric
Power Transmission,

Possibilities in Long-Distance Electric
Power Transmission.
The feasibility of power transmission
by means of electricity over distances
of limited extent has been clearly DEM
onstrated in the long years of expert
ence with the direct current, but
transmission by means of the d.
rect current speedily reached u
limit beyond which for econom-
ical reasons it became inadvisable
to go. Yet it was transmitted over
very long distances. How best to eff
feet this became the urgent question Of
the hour.
The direct current was, perforce, dis
carded, and the alternating current
called into requisition. Attainment of
an economical solution was by no
means easy. Difficulty after difficulty
arose, requiring countless experiments
to elucidate; and alteration after al
teration in machinery was made, in
volving the expenditure of vast sums.
BY successive and painful stages a
solution was finally reached, and to-
day the long-distance transmission of
power by electricity is an established
economic fact of potentiality which.
seems limited in its comprehensive
ness only by the exhaustion of the
available natural forces of the earth.
Indeed, everything points to a corner
in water powers, speculative enter
prises keeping Steady step with honest
industrial initiative, and generally a
fa11 onf
aract have suddenly assumed greater
interest to their owners than that i'm
parted by their merely scenic features.
Hitherto unutili&ed water powers have
become, in sanguine imagination, pos
sible gold mines in futuro, and the elm
ination of the domestic coal heap and
relegation of the steam engine to the
oblivion which awaits the discarded
have become articles of faith with
water power proprietors. :
BY far the greatestnumbero of the long
distance transmission installations of
the world are situated in the United
States. The American seems endowed
with the courage of temerity, and is
willing to adopt new thing with prom
ise only, where other nationalities de-
mand assurance or proof. A possibil-
ity has special attraction for the
American mind, and the risk of its
realization is willingly run. 1t is
this spirit that has covered the United
States with electric lighting stations,
spread a nework of electric car lines
over every city of any Importance in
it's boundaries, and initiated the super
session of the steam locomotive itself
from its main line railways.-John Nc
Chic, in Cassiers Magazine.

reached the summit Chu Chu suddenly
reared, wheeled, and the next moment
was flying back along the road we had
just travelled at the top of her speed.
It might have been that after her alb
stracted fashion, she only at that mo-
ment detected my presence-but SO
sudden and complete was her evolu-
ton that before I could regain my
horse from the astonished Enriquez,
she was already quarter of mile on
the homeward stretch, with the fran
tic Consuelo pulling hopelessly at the
bride. We started in pursuit. But
horrible despair seized us. The at
tempt to overtalze her-to even follow
at the same rate of speed-would only
excite Chu Chu and endanger Con-
suelo's life. There was absolutely no
help for it-nothing could be done
the mare had taken her determined
long, continuous stride-the road was
straight, steady decent all the way
back to the village-Chu Chu had the
bit between her teeth, and there was
no prospect of swerving her. We could
only follow hopelessly, idiotically, furi-
ously-until Chu Chu dashed triumph
antly into the Saltello's courtyard, car
rying the half-fainting Consuelo back
to the arms of her assembled and as
tonished family.
1t was our last ride together. 1t was
the last ever saw of Consuelo before
her transfer to the safe seclusion of a
convent in southern California. 1t was
the last ever saw of Chu Chu, who, in
the confusion of that renconter was
overlooked in her half loosed harness,
and allowed to escape through the back
gate to the fields. Months afterwards
it was said she had been identified
among band of wild horses in the
Coast range, as a strange and beautiful
creature who had assumed the brand of
the rodeo and had become myth.
There was another legend that she
had been seen-sleek, fat and gor-
geously misunderstanding from the
Rosario patio, before a numbering
Spanish Gabrielle, in which a short,
stout matron was seated-but l will
have none of it. For there are days
when she still lives, and can see her
plainly still climbing the gentle slope
toward the summit, with Consuelo on
her back and myself at her side
pressing eagerly forward toward the
illimitable prospects that open in the
distance. BRET HARTE.

FAREWELL TO THE BONNET.
These Dainty Bits of Millinery Have Been
Deposed.


Deposed.
The bonnet, large and small, convex
and concave, narrow and wide, is
doomed. 1t is superseded by the hat
even for the most festive occasions.
The flower wreath or a rose and an
aigrette are still in vogue for opera and
theater, but the actual bonnet that
covers the crown of the head and ties
under the chin has had it's day.
Hence the prettiest display of spring
millinery is in an infinite variety oe
hats. The most dashing Of new hats
are displayed either in q combination of
vivid colors or else are entirely black
The former are usually perfect flower
gardens, while the black hats are broad
of brim and carry large and pictur-
esque display of tossing plumes. The
desirable hat for the first warm spring
days will be undoubtedly the flower
turban. These dainty turbans are
square and oblong as we'll as round, and
are completely covered with masses of
flowers and foliage, with always a.
bunch of violets and black aigrette
on the left side.
The rose t,Eban is brilliant sample
of the amount of color and style that
can be crowded into one conscientious
millinery effort. tits made up of dozens
of crush roses, shading from the deli
cate pink of the La France to the deep
velvety carmine of the Black Prince.
Rose leaves in various shades of spring
green's are used literally, and thorned
stems stand tall and straight in COM
pany with the black aigrette.
The violetand mignonette turbans are
less gorgeous than the rose hat; but
where they are found altogether too
modest in effect vivid American
Beauty rose is placed at the base of the
aigrette in place of the knot of violets.
Buttons are to be one of the chief
trimmings of the new spring gowns.
Both large and small buttons will be
used and their arrangement will bo
varied.-N. Y. World.

Year Without Summer.

Seventy-nine years ago was the year
without a summer. Frost occurred
every month in the year 1916. Ice,
formed half inch thich in May. Snow
fell to the depth of three inches in New
York, and also in Massachusetts, in
June. Ice was formed of the thickness
of a common window glass throughout,
New York on the 5th day of July. In
dian corn was so frozen that the greater,
part was cut in August and dried for
fodder, and the farmers supplied them
selves from the corn produced in 1918

Surely, Cara way Bones is great name
for an undertaken.

always delved deep for his ideas, and in
this case he reached the limit, and has
given the public one OF the funniest and
