ELECTRIC ENERGY IN FRANCE.

NI GU1LLAIN has recently submitted to the French Chamber of Deputies report of a A' commission upon the distribution of energy from natural sources throughout the country, to- gether with a bill designed to promote by govern mental action the extension of the distribution on grand scale. The object of the movement is to pro- vide the French people with the full use of the water and other natural power which is now going to waste to great extent and carried out will of course vastly increase the working strength of the nation
 It is pointed in the report that the construction of railways by cheapenng the of transportation of raw material has massed the working population into large cities, most of which are distant from waterfalls and other natural sources of power The invention of of transmitting energy by cleo tricty from the water power to the city has copen- saed for the loss occasoned by the original removal of the factory from the place where the fall exists Hence the development of that transmission is one of the needs of the time. The material having been carried from the country to the city, the natural power must be carried there also.
 According to the report of the commission the waterfalls of France have force which is estimated to surpass the motive power generated by all the steam engines in the entire world outside railways and steamboats. By well devised system of cleo trical transmission every pound of this power could
 
 productive energies of the nation largely increased
 An important feature of the transmitted energy is the facility with which it can be subdivided and de- vered in force proportioned to the demand The big factory obtain 100 horsepower, and the indepen- dent workman in his small shop can get half horse power with equal Moreover the farmer can have 1t in his fields we'll the artisan in his work shop. This fact may have far-reaching consequences for one of the reasons why small factories are now being crowded out by the larger is the superior advantages of the big factories in the matter of power When the individual worker get power on some thing like equal terms with his giant competitor there is likely to be considerable change in our ir- dustrial system.
 From the reports of the bill which have come to us through Le Petit Journal it is not clear what e- tent the commission would have the Government ex- ercise control the transmission of energy. It is certain however that the aim is to prevent this vast power from falling into the hands of monopoes or other irresponsible control The natural energies of France to be developed for the whole people of France and if the great plan is carried the bene- fits likely to accrue hardly be overrated

MAKE IT THOROUGH.

| the Railroad Commissioners undertake an inves- | tgatlon Of the expenditures of the Southern Pa
 c1hc Company for the purpose of determining whether or not the corporation IS able pay divi- dends upon its capital stock they should make the in qury thorough and complete. There will be no ex- for partial investigation. For instance it will be entirely unsatisfactory for the Commissioners to ascertain the paid in salaries to officials the amount consumed in influencing legislation and the amount charged for legal expenses without in- quirng as to the sums which have been paid to news papers consideration for their silence
 There is rumor that certain journal in this city has "pul' with the Commissioners by which it will be enabled to suppress all inquiry by them concern ing the journalistic operations of the Southern Pa cifc Company. We do not credit this rumor If such an influence exist we doubt whether the bers of the board would be anxious as they appear to be to precipitate inquiry, because it is abso- utey certain that if the investigation proposed is un dertaken everything will come out Somebody will be present to ask concerning the expenditures of the corporation for newspaper silence even if the Com missioners themselves shall be opposed to exploit ing that branch of the subject
 Besides the $Iooo month paid to the Examiner for twenty-two months of editorial complasance upon Southern Pacific subjects we are informed that the same sheet paid $7ooo for publishing Colonel Creed Haymond's address before the Senate Com mittee on Pacific Railroads, $5ooo for keeping its hands off the Pattson Pacific Railroad investigation and $25oo for blooded colt which Senator Stan ford lost in attempt to do business with the pro- pretor of the sheet Here is $6 500 expended by the corporation for iegitimate purposes. We in formed also that during single year. not very long ago. the corporation declined to collect bill of over $3o,ooo for transportation from the same journal
 These matters of serious moment and if the money of the corporation is being wasted as they to indicate surely the Railroad Commissioners should put the facts record Indeed there will be no excuse for them if they do not If they ignore the subject in pursuance of political or other "pul' which the Examiner is alleged to have with them will be to their immeasurable discredit There is rule of evidence which provides that when fact is asked for in testimony the opposition is entitled to bring out all the other facts bearing on the matter This rule should be adopted by the Railroad Com missioners in their proposed investigation.

~ EVERAL of the names selected for N the vessels recently acquired by the 1navy are not alone inappropriate, but " in two cases, at least, probably the worst that could have been chosen and are not likely to make the respective ships companies proud of their vessels.
 The yacht Alicia has been renamed Hornet, of which there have been four in the navy. The first belonged to the revolutionary navy, and was blown up in Delaware Bay in TIT to prevent her cap- ture. Hornet No. 2 was transport dur ing the Tripolitan war, and was sold in 1906. Hornet No. 8, a brig of IS guns, 440 tons and carrying 40 men, performed gall lant services during the war of 1812-15, and her numerous captures and actions with superior ships, notably with the Peacock and Penguin, were highly cred- itable to the navy, but her loss with all hands in 1929 brought mourning into many homes. Hornet No. 4, a small schooner used a dispatch vessel on bays and rivers, was broken up in 1920 With. the loss of the Hornet in 1929 the name dis appeared from the navy list.
 The yacht Hermione is henceforth to be known as the Wasp, making the fifth of that name. The first was blown up in Delaware Bay in TIT. The second Wasp was captured at sea by the British October 1S 1872, taken into the navy and subsequent
 
 lant action with the Frolic and other heroic engagements, was lost at sea with all hands in 1914. A side-wheeler Emma Henry was captured December 8, 1884, and taken into the navy under the name of Wasp, sent to the South Atlantic sta tion, where she lay for number of years off Montevideo, and was finally sold in 1876 for nominal sum.
 The yacht Amy has been renamed Eagle, and will be the fourth in the navy of that name The first and third were sold in 1901 and 1924 respectively and the second was captured June 8, 1913.
 The tug E. F. Luckenback, now called Tecumseh before Mobile August 5, 1864, when she was blown up by torpedo and 8 officers and men were drowned.
 To the torpedo boat purchased In Ger many the name Somers has been given. schooner by that name was captured in Lake Ontario August 12, 1874. by the British. The second Somers has a his tory which is the only blurred page in American naval history. She was brig of 10 guns and 259 tons, built at New in September of the same year with crew of 120 of which 96 were apprentice bows. Commander A. $. Mackenzie and seven other officers had charge of the ship, and it was not until in the vicinity of St. Thomas. homeward bound, that November 26 Commander Mackenzie re- ceived information that one of the mid shipmen contemplated mutiny, and Philip Spencer, midshipman; Small, boatswains s rested. A court-martial was convened, which found the prisoners guilty without bringing them before the court, and three days later the unsuspecting prisoners
