The Cause of Death

In 1927 Mr.. Zea, Colombian Minister in
England, died suddenly. He was insure d
in various offices, and rumor said he had
shot himself A meeting of the insurance
boards was held. and the directors were
talking the matter over, when DR.. M
appeared, who was the com pany's medical
referee, as well as Mr.. Zea's own physi.
clan.
"Ahl now you can tell US the true cause
OF Zea s death"
Certainly l can," said the doctor
solemnly, because attended him."
Here he paused, and was surprised to
find that his merely preliminary remark
was hlarious.y received as solution OF

The Great Falls Earning Money for
E1ectric-Road Stockholders.
Trolley-cars are now run in Buffalo by
electricity furnished by dynamos opera ted
by water from Niagara Falls, twenty-three
miles off. The experiment has cost great
deal of money, but it is a success. 1t has
been watched with much interest. Scen-
titic men have visited the works, and
have been astonished at the mag
nitude OF the undertaking. The pos
sibiIi.y of transm itting electricity TO
distance has, of course, been fact
for years. but the question whether, in
view of the loss of power, it would pay to
do so, has been an I'm Dortant one. If the
power can be sufficiently conserved,
enough can be generated at Niagara to do
vast deal OF work ut Chicago 500 miles
away, and at New York, which is nearly
that distance. These are matters OF detail
TO be worked out. 1t has been demon
strated that the vast volume of water
going over the falls at Niagara can be
made to do effective work. So far as the
present experiment is concerned, the
diminution of water is not perceptible,
and itwould doubtless take many tunnels
to carry off enough to reduce the guam
tity in any great degree.
Foreigners often complain that Ameri-
cans are too much disposed to look at ma
tuie III pr IaCtlcal way. 1hey want every
thing to do work, to pay, so to say. Tor the
privilege of living. Niagara Falls is the
most beautiful sight OF its kind in the
world. 1t draws thousands of visitors
every year. There are very few Americans
unpoetic enough to desire to destroy the
beauty of the falls, and it is not likely that
this will be done, for the law would inter-
pose if that were threatened.
But the practical American says, as
there are millions of gallons of water
going TO waste, why not make use of this
water, especially as IL can be done to serve
a valuable purpose Baltimore American.
