The Bishops Label.

Bishop huntington once went down
to town In Connecticut to perform n
marriage ceremony. He arrived the
day before the wedding. and he left
at the same time the bridal pair did,
although he was driven to a different
railway station. As he passed through
the station, carrying his travelling bag,
he was aware that he was creating a
sensation. but was totally at loss to
account for 1t. In the ear he found
that he was still the object of amused
attention. The porter positively snick-
cred as he passed his seat. and finally
Just as the train drew out he came up
and assisted the churchman to remove
his overcoat.
what Is the matter with you, my
mani" asked the bishop. The porter's
smoker broadened into laugh.
"Ain't you done lef' the lady, sab? p
he chuckled
"Eh% exclaimed the bishop in sur
prise. Then his eye fell ON the side OF
his travelling bag which the porter had
just turned round There glued to it
was a wide strip of white satin ribbon
on which was painted in large letters:
Married this morning"
The facetiously minded best man had
mistaken the bishops travelling bag
for that of the bridegroom, and a
chuckling black porter worked late in
10 the night removing that ribbon

The Adirondack region abounds with
streams. most Of which can some time
be made use OF as sources OF power for
carrying on industries, running rail
roads, and furnishing light and heat.
Indeed. the great problem at present
Is not al all To find available heads of
water, but to devise means of trans
hitting the power with the minimum
loss for long distances.
1t Is impossible to believe that with
the success, of existing plants aud the
spectacle of practically unlimited pow
er going TO. waste on every hand, to
stimulate inventive genius, methods
will not be devised before very long
for overcoming this difficulty ,of trans
mission. -
Whether 1t Is by the discovery of
some new conyeyor or by using sue
cession of generating plants or by a
process OF storing the electricity and
conveying II by freight or express OF
however the new power Is bound in
time TO come into practically universal
use. lf tho difficulty of transmission is
neyer wholly obvious. 1t may be there
will be some regrouping of Industries
and communities in the near vicinity of
