TO SuRPASS NIAGARA.
An English Papcr's Account of an
American Project.


American Project.
Big as the Niagara scheme is. work
has just commenced upon still larger
scheme Of water power development
near Massena, on the ST. Lawrence river,
United States of America, says Cham
bers' Journal. 1t is intended TO develop
here 10000 horse power by taking ad-
vantage of the difference in level be-
tween the ST. Lawrence river and the
Grass river, flowing nearly parallel
10 it at distance of 3R miles. A big
cuual is to be cut across the intervening
plateau, and fall of water so feet in
height thus obtained on the banks of
the Grass river. The latter river will
itself form the tail race" of the power
station.
This scheme dwarfs the Niagara one,
since not only do the plans provide for
greater amount of power, but man is
going to do what nature has done for
him at Niagara-namely provide the
waterfall. The necessary capital for
carrying out this scheme has been pro-
vided, work has been commenced, and
it is hoped that some of the turbines
and dynamos will be working by De-
ccmber, 1893. If no unforeseen diff
Guilty occur, and If this scheme BE COM
pleted by the date named, il will GER
tainly form one of the most remarkable
achievements of the century,

HIS ATTENTIVE AUDIENCE.
Two Views of the Lecture Delivered
by n Novelist ih a Jersey Town.


A well-known novelist delivered lee
ture recently in New Jersey town not
far from this city, in which he read
selections from his own works. His
reputation and the society that engaged
him brought together an audience com
posed of the best people of the neigh
bcrhood. After the lecture, when peo-
pie met, it was the proper thing for one
TO ask the other:
"Were you at the lecturer" and the
answer in every case was:
"Oh, yes! / was there, but didn't
hear a word. Did you hear the lee
ture?"
"Well. no! I was there but I couldn't
hear, either"
A friend who met the novelist few
days after his visit to the suburban
town asked him what kind of audience
he had and how he liked the town.
"It's fine place." was the reply,
"and had the most attentive audience
that I have ever spoken to. No one
made sound, and didn't have to raise
my voice above whisper"

We wish every subscriber of the
JOURNAL in and out of town to know
that we are anxious to have news of a
local and personal nature, and are very
thankful to those who inform us OF the
arrival and departure of their visitors.
1t don't matter whether you consider
class of society. Any person, no mat
ter how poor or plain, who takes the
JOURNAL is considered friend of the
paper and we wish all to feel that their
little social affairs are as important and
as highly appreciated by the publisher
as though they were from the richest
and most influential people of the com
munity.

Prominent men who claim to be
acquainted with the situation, say that
with the opening of Spring the T,B. G.
g. f. Ry. line will be extended to Fos-
toria and III connection with the line
now being constructed from Fostoria to
Tiffin will make continuous line from
Toledo to Tiffin. Suburban electric
railways seem TO be paying property
and the future for such lines seem very
bright. Perrysburg is destined 10
become an electric railway center, as
all lines leading south, east and west
from Toledo will connect with the Il. &
M. V. Belt line, and Perrysburg is the
most convenient point to make such
connection. Ere long line will paral-
lei the Maumee and Western reserve
stone road from Perrysburg to Fre-
mont and further east. and line will
follow the course OF the MaUmee river
southwest, SO it Is claimed. OF course
all these things will not come at once
but the finger of progress now points In
these directions. Let them come.
The more the better for Perrysburg.

NO PATRIOTISM IN CHINA.
This Was Made Manifest In the wnr
with Jnpun.

This Was Made Manifest In the wnr
with Japan.
AS for the patriotism of the Chinese.
If it ever existed, it is unquestionably a
thing of the past. says the Illustrated
American. At the time of the war
with Japan, China had two squadrons,
the main or northern squadron, with
headquarters at Port Arthur and Wei
Hai-Wei, and the southern squadron,
composed of fine Armstrong cruisers,
of gunboats and torpedo boats. AS it
was clear that the Japanese would
carry the war into Manchuria and to.
ward the Gulf of Petchili, the southern
squadron was ordered to proceed north
ward and to reinforce the northern
fleet. Far from obeying, the COM
manding admiral and his officers de-
cided that, being n great deal safer in
the south, they would quietly remain
there, and go up river, the entrance
of which could be defended by torpedo
mines. which they hurried to lay. Why,
in the name of Confucius. should they
have exposed themselves for the sake
Of defending the northern provinces =?
About the same time the Chinese gov
ernment being in need of money to
carry on the war decided that a srnall
tax would be imposed upon the tea plan
tations, most of whose proprietors are
wealthy. or at least well-to-do people.
But these patriotic citizens. in order
to avoid paying that sspll tax, begged
the foreign merchants tosake the plan
tations in their names!
