The longest transmission Of electric power in the
Eastern part of this continent occurs over line that
was opened last month from De Cew Falls twelve
miles west of Niagara to Hamilton, Ont. The
distance is thirty-ive miles, and the voltage en-
ployed is from 10000 TO 40O0 The insulators have
bee. tested up 10 300 volts matter of safety.
On such lines the three-phase system has been
generally used. it requires less copper in the
wires or rods used for carrying the current than
the twophase plan does. But III this the latter
has been resoTed TO- the weight of the conductors
on the crOssarms Of the pole line is better balanced
than is practicable with the three-phase system.

Will recall the Indian exhibit or en-
campment ON the shore of the south

was occupied by an athletic and fine
looking but somewhat taciturn specimen
of young Indian manhood as his own
particular home, and while it was open
at all proper hours for the inspection of
visitors he resented any approach to i'm
pertinent curiosity.
A bevy of young women dropped into
his tent one day before his usual hour
for opening it and found him sewing a
rent in q blanket.

of the visitors. I've have caught him
