form II into electrical energy. After
years Of discussion this project is now
about to receive practical demonstra-
ton by an English company known as
the General Power Distribution Com

that district, and supply the current
to neighboring towns and villages
within the radius above stated.
This area embraces Sheffield. Noting

Rotterdam, Chesterfield and many in

to utilize the resources contained in the

secrete themselves In all sorts of places
in order to see her enter or leave her

famous actress from the bullets or the
