POWER FROM A DISTANCE.
Southern California Has the Most
Notable Electric Transmission
Plant in Existence.

To-day the most notable transmits.
sion plant in existence, says Casters
Magazine, is that of the Southern Cali
fornia Power company, designed to
carry 10000 horsepower at 33, 900 volts
over SO miles of line from the power
house to the town of Los Angeles. The
Southern California power house is sit
uated at the base of the San Bernardino
mountains, on the Santa Ana river, and
the power water intake is at the juno
ton of Bear creek and the Santa Ana
river, about seven miles below the fa-
nous Bear creek dam. The water in
this river, like all waters in southern
California, is owned by water COM
panies, and as soon as it reaches the
valley it is led off in irrigation bitches
in different directions. Un3ar these
conditions, any power company using
the water must not interrupt the flow,
and the regulation of the water wheels,
which are used, must be by DETECTING
nozzles. The water is carried about 2H.
miles, so per cent. of which is through
tunnels, and the rest of the canal is
open masonry and wooden fumes. The
elevation at the intake is 3,422 feet
above sea level, and that of the power
house 2,670 feet. The difference, less
the grade of the canal, gives static
head of 735 feet on the wheels.

TEA CARAVANS FROM CHINA.
The Enormous Business That Is Dcne
on the Caravan Route
Through Siberia.

The newspaper published in Tomsk,
called the Siberian Latest News, gives
some very curious details about the
Russian tea caravans that transport
thousands of tons of tea from China
and distribute it in various carts of ST.
IBERIA and Russia. During the first 20
days of January last 5000 sleighs laden
with tea passed through the city of
Tomsk. The ordinary size Of these tea
caravans is from so to 70 sleighs,
though sometimes from 200 to 800 are
included in one caravan. The average
load is five bales, each weighing from 70
to l2O pounds.
Five sledges are fastened together
drawn by one horse, and one man at
tends to the detachment. To the rear
sledge Of each group are tied bundle
of hay and a measure Of oats, so that
the horses may feed during the march.
This facilitates progress, for the cara
van does not need to halt for the pur-
pose of batting the horses. As the horse
in front, however, does not have any
thing to eat before him his place in the
caravan must be changed occasionally
to give him an opportunity to eat his
lunch.
The caravans trave, night and day.
The only halts during the "a hours are
in the villages where the weary horses
are exchanged for fresh animals. The
drivers sleep on the sledges, while trav-
cling, in spite of the severe cold.

OATH OF THE BOERS.
The Holy Covenant Which Binds
Burghers of the Transvnal in
Peace and War.

This peculiar solemn pledge was sub
scribed at a meeting held by them on
April 10, 1879, Wonderfontein, in the
Transvaal, and is given as reproduced
in the Natal Witness:
SIN the presence of Almighty God,
the Searcher of Hearts, and praying for
His gracious assistance and mercy, we,
burghers Of the South African repub-
lie, have solemnly agreed for us and our
children to unite in holy covenant.
which we confirm with solemn oath.
1t is now 40 years ago since our fathers
left the Cape Colony to become free
and independent people. These 40
years were 40 years of sorrow and suf-
fering. We have founded Natal, the
Orange Free State and the South At
rican republic (TransvaaD, and three
times has the English government
trampled on our liberty, and our flag.
baptized with the blood and tears of our
fathers, has been pulled down. AS by a
thief in the night has our free republic
been stolen from us. We cannot suffer
this, and we may not. 1t is the will of
God that the unity of our fathers and
our love to our children should oblige US
to deliver unto our children, unblem-
ished, the heritage of our fathers. 1t is
for this reason that we here unite and
give each other the hand as men and
brethren, solemnly promising to be
faithful to our country and people, and,
looking unto God, to work together I'M
to death for the restoration of the lib
erty of our republic. So truly help US,
God Almighty"

A BRITISH GREAT"
An EnElishman Who Treated His
Guest Well, But Made Him
Pay His Way.

81 was constantly struck" says Col.
T. W. Higginson, with the genuine
spirit of hospitality among English
men toward Americans, as such, even
those with whose pursuits they might
have almost nothing in common, and
for whom they had not the slightest
reason to put themselves out. l liked
this none the less for its having Its def
mite limitations as to pecuniary obliga-
tons, and the like, including every
thing in the nature of treating all
this being, in my opinion, weak point
in our more gushing or more self-con-
scious habit. 1 remember to have once
been taken by gentleman, on whom /
had but the slightest claim, to the
country house of another, on whom !
had no claim whatever. The latter was
not at all literary, and had not even the
usual vague English interest in Ameri-
can affairs; yet he gave up his whole
afternoon to drive me to Kenilworth.
which he had seen thousand times.
But that for which I liked him best,
and which afforded me a wholly new
experience, was that as we entered the
outer doorway, he going first, looked
back over his shoulder, and said simply:
They make you pay threepence for
admission here and then added, speak
ing to the attendant: here is my
threepence.' After all the time and
trouble he had given to his stranger
guest, he yet left him to pay his own
threepence; a thing which most Ameri-
cans would not have dreamed Of doing.
1t would have been the American no.
ton of good breeding to save guest
from expense, as it was the English Inn
pulse to save him from the sense of OBJ
legation. confess that prefer the lat

JUSTICE BY WIRE.
A Case in Kansas That Was Con-
Quoted Over the Long-DiE-
lance Telephone.

This country is right up to date in
its legal methods, says the Abilene
(Kan.) Reflector. Lately warrant was
issued from Chapman for the arrest of
a party charged with assault and bat
terry. The defendant heard of it, but
was not arrested, keeping out of the
way. He employed Senator Hessin, of
Manhattan, to take care Of the case for
him. 1t was not q serious matter and
the defendant was guilty. So Mr.. Hessin
called up on the long-distance telephone
the justice of the peace in Chapman
who had jurisdiction of the case and
inquired if the case was pending, and
learned that it was. He then called
County Attorney Smith, at Abilene,
who in turn called the justice into con-
ference. The result was that Mr.. Hes
sin entered the appearance of the de-
PENDANT at Chapman, 80 miles away,
by phone; pleaded guilty for him by
phone and the justice imposed fine
of five dollars and costs by phone, and
Mr.. Hessin RENTED it By draftin after
noon mail Presumably justice may be
dispensed after awhile without court
houses or the formahty of trials therein.
