of the bride brought it to him. He may

TRANSMITTING WATER POWER.

An American delegate to the recent Con-
gress of Physicians at Dusseldorf Ger
many, who has just returned to this coun-
try, expresses surprise and admiration at
the manner in which the Germans are
seizing upon every available means of in
dustrial development. During recent years
probably the greatest progress has been
made in Harvesting water powers to mill
wheels through the agency of electrical
transmission. At the electrical exposition
at Frankfort several years ago, 1t was
demonstrated that power could be carried
40 miles with loss of only Is per cent
of energy Since that time improvements
have been made by which greater dis
lance can be covered with less loss.
Great water powers. controlled by ca
nails or dykes, are not the only ones which
are being given attention at present. The
small and rapid streams and falls In the
hills and mountains are being developed.
The dangers to be apprehended from con-
ining large bodies of water high up on
the mountain sides have been practically
obviated by scientific means, and electrical

ment may be located anywhere within a
reasonable distance of the power site,
while the power is brought to it over a
wire from a compact and comparatively
inexpensive electricity generating plant at
the rapids or the falls.
The progress of the Germans along this
line ought TO be interesting to Georgians.
This state is particularly rich in water
powers, the most of which are undevel-
| oped. In the northern part of the state
| there are hundreds of streams in which
there are rapids and falls, and which could
no doubt furnish power enough TO turn
the wheels OF the South Atlantic section.

A FLOWER ron SOUTH CAROLINA.

1t appears that State Superintendent
of Education Mayfeld of South Carolina
has suggested that the school children Of
the state hold an election for the purpose
Of adopting some particular flower as the
floral emblem Of the state.
South Carolina already has an emblem
that is better than any other which Mr..

might, indeed, be called a floral emblem.
It is decorative and beautiful, as well rs

The progress in the development OF the
iron and steel Industries IN this country
that has been made in within recent years
is something remarkable From import
ers of steel and machinery we have be-
come exporters on a very large scaie'
There are railroads in the United states
that were laid with steel rails purchased
abroad some years ago at cost OF SlSo
per ton. At present the price OF better
grade of steel rails manufactured in the
United States is in the neighborhood OF
SIS per ton, and it has been less. We are
according to an authority, at the present
time the largest producers and manu-
facturers of iron and steel in the world.
The greatest recent advances in iron and
steel development have been made in the
Northwest and in the South, an Michigan
and Wisconsin, and Alabama. In these
states, especially, there are DE-
posits of practically incalculable
richness, so situated that they
can be mined and refined at
minimum cost In many other states also
there are vast deposits which can be work
ed cheaply. Indeed, our iron and steer
resources are such as to give us the ad-
vantage in competition with the remainder
of the world This is shown in recent
large sales of locomotives, steel rail- iron
pipes and other iron and steel manutac-
lures abroad. An immense steel mill Is
now being erected in Alabama especially
for the filing of foreign orders. Mr.
Clement A. Griscom, president of the
American steamship line said the other
day that the United States in the near
future would probably do the greater part
of the steel ship building. The president
of one of the largest steel mills IN the
country was quoted a few days as say
ing that he was prepared to contract with
any responsible ship building firm for a
term of years to furnish ship building
steel and iron for several dollars per ton
less than similar materials could be fur
nished by any European iron and steel
manufacturing establishment
Steel as coming more into general use
every day. Steel Orders and beams now
enter into the construction of every large
house. The tall and large buildings of the
great cities are all built upon steel
frames Municipalities and counties, as
well as railroads, are building steel bridges
where wooden ones have heretofore been
made TO answer. Warehouses and elevat-
ors are now made of corrugated steel. 1t
is predicted that we shall have light,
strong and handsome steam and street rail
road cars Of steel within the next few
years. Steel is driving out oak and hick-
DRY as the material for hubs and spokes
in the wheels of carriages and buggies.
Even harness traces are made of steel.
Indeed, there are thousand and one inn
provements into which steel is entering,
where its use was not thought of ten oil
a dozen years ago, and the number OF
them is growing larger constantly. 1t may
be said, therefore. that we have entered
in upon an age of steel, and in which the
United States lead the world.
