tanning the committee. After one more
test OF strength, the amendment was
withdrawn by Mr.. Bellows. .and the

tion of Smith of King. to employ a Sec

Water Power Abandoned.

The famous incline railway at Pros
pect Park, Niagara Falls. is to be oper.
ated electrically according to recent
decision of the New York State Park
Commissioners. Heretofore this rail-
way has always been operated by water
power, but in view of the fact that
during the great ice bridges, when
tourists flock to see this marvellous
sight, from all over the state, the rail-
way is usually imperative. This has
been due to the checking of the intake
with ice and very often too low water.
AS there is no other means of access
without tedious descent and ascent.
the tourists have been greatly incon-
venienced, and the management have
lost considerable money. With abun-
dant electric power available from the

The regular increase in the delta of the
Po has been studied by Prof. Marinel-
Ii. Comparison of the Austrian map
of about 1928 with the records of sur
veys made in 1898 shows that the mean
annual increase during those years has
been about three -tenths of a square
mile; and from all known data it ap-
pears that the total increase during six
centuries has been about 1913 square
miles. The incease is continuing and
the Gulf of Venice is doomed in time
to disappear. No immediate alarm
need, however, be excited, for Prof.
Marinelli calculates that between 100
