have heard that Niagara, being such
success as a generator OF electric power for
manufacturing purposes. an experiment is
about being made IN Scotland to something
Of the same effect. Can you give any informa-
ton on the subject GRO.
There has been such 4 scheme under con-
sideration--A bill was reported to the com
mon This plan is unique and almost mar
yelous In its conception, for It is nothing less
than a means OF providing Scotland with
water power and thereby electricity sufficient
TO supply the whole State. II involves the
turning of the waters OF the great uninhabit-
able mountain Businesses which drain into
several lakes. principally Lake Ericht and
Lake Rannoch, into canal TO be dug which
will connect the water with the sea at Bally-
hulch. on Loeb Linnhe, near the Firth OF
Lornc, precipitating the waters down a sheer
preciplce OF a thousand feet into Loeb Linnhe.
1t will turn half OF the waters Of North Perth
from the Firth OF Tay on the east to the
Firth Of Lorne on the west coast. The plan
was devised by an engineer named MacRae
who, during a residence OF several years In
Canada, devoted himself to the study OF Nj
agara and the great hydraulic engineering
works there After arriving at some estimate
OF the value Of the waters which now run T.
waste. he returned TO Scotland and surveyed
the whole highland lake district, taking Levels
and discovered that Il was feasible to use thu
drainage from that district for manufacturing
| purposes on the coast

Dr. Tripler the inventor asserts that with
the expenditure OF two gallons he can produce
ten gallons OF liauld air. Whence is the In
crease in energy OF the ten gallons over the
two7 C.V.W.
This inquiry has been made by great
many people. aud Professor Tripler's nsser-
ton has not only been doubted, but denied
by many Of the leading scientists OF the coun-
try. At the same time he adheres to his
statement that he can not only produce ten
gallons OF LIQUID air from two. but with inn
provements IN his apparatus he can increase
that amount indefinitely. and there are those
who claim to have seen II done. DR. Tripler
says It is simple problem OF manufacture.
aud he uses the energy of the original two
gallons over and over again, Just as the same
ammonia can be used over and over again
IN manufacturing ice Persons who have Wis
tied Professor Trpler's laboratory In New
York and observed the operations Of his APP
paratus admit the truth OF his assertion some
OF them very reluctantly, others with dualih-
cations. while still more assert that the ener-
gy Of the original two gallons must be ana Is
re-enforced by fuel or other motive power
II is an interesting subject Of controversy
which is likely to occupy the attention of the
scientific world for some time.

when is II proper to use the words fleet ana
squadron in speaking OF number OF yes
sells Of war; who takes command? NAL
There seems to be some confusion in tho
popular mind as to tie meaning OF the term
squadron" as distinguished from that Of
fleet Tho word fleet may be used to
signify tho whole navy OF a country, while a
squadron is part Of fleet, In naval tao
tics, however, the word Geet means any body
OF warships numbering twelve or more ships
OF the line namely. ba;tleships and drst- class
cruisers. A feet Is divided into three squad
rons, known as the van. the center and the
rear. The senior nag officer, under the feet
commander, commands the center. the next In
command the van. and the third the rear
whence the term rear admiral. These are not
distinctions OF vital Importance to the way
faring man, and the popular definition Of feet
and squadron will do we'll enough for ordinary
usage. But In view OF the events Of 1898,
perhaps we ought to try to make our general
/ acquaintance with naval Technology equal to
cur naval standing.

THE NEW LAND OF GOLD.

Yes, 1dahO'S turn has come at last.
For years she has lain dormant, wait
ing, waiting. The turn has been called,
"the clock has struck" the change has
GENE.
The extension of the Northern Pacl-
fic's SpokanePalouse branch to Lewis
ten up Lapwai Creek and up the Clear
water River into the heart of the old
Nez PerceS reservation are working
wonders. And along with this era of
railway expansion, comes the wonder
full discovery of gold in the Buffalo
Hump country. Here, where forty
years ago the placer mines yielded
500. 100000, so the authorities tell US,
now are discovered the most stipend
tween Florence and Elk City. Grange
vile and the Salmon River. the proba
bilities are that the Klondike will be
Outdone.
Then, too. the farmer and ranchman
has his chance.Betwee Lewiston and
the Hump lies fruit and grain region
famousaround Idaho. The Cold Springs
and Camas Prairie lands can't be beat.
AS fruit and grain country this re-
gion beats California. and now that
Lew mining camps furnish good and
nearby markets and transportation IA
cilities are so much improved. the
farmer will find these acres to be as
rich mines of gold to him as the quartz
lodges are to the miner. So everybody
| has a chance here to make good turn.

Ancient American Sleeping Carr.

l.. Navire Eyma. a Frenchman, who
came to this country in 1917. wrote an
article in ILLUSTRATION of Paris, pub
lished July 22nd. 1913, giving his ex-
pel'ienceS on the railroads of the United
States. He says that at that time the
Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road had
length Of seventy leagues and that the
cost of the road was 4 .116,744 francs,
the receipts 3.9SS.456 francs and ex-
pcnses 1864, al francs. He also gives
considerable space to the interior ar
rangements of the sleeping cars used
at that time. and says that, they are
actually houses where nothing is lack
ing for the necessity of life. and are
divided into compartments and sleep
ing rooms, some for men and some for
women Each room held six beds or
rather little couches in three tiers along
the sides. He winds up his account by
saving that valuables are not particu-
larly we'll taken care of. as in AIMEE
RIGA there were no such things as
sneak thieves

CHAPTER XVII.

Madame Florence's guests had taken
their departmental save one. The
prince and the attache had vanished.
Harry Ark wright remained behind.
His mouth was stern. and weary,
anxious look was in his brown eyes,
which had seemed born but to laugh
ter. He and his hostess were alone.
He rose from his chair and stood be-
, fore her
"Florencev' he said.
She glanced up with smile so
bright that one could not fancy it
forced from breaking heart.
''Still the old name?' she asked, in
implied reproach. "Have L not told
you that it and she who owned it-both
are buried? Have I not warned you
that it is treason to resurrect their
ashes"'
Both dead?' he answered, gravely,
:lnheeding her light tone. Sometimes
! l fear they are. Really, feared so to-
night. Florence, do you know what
your coquetry has wrought?'
She glanced quickly up, forgetting
the question in amaze at this man,
who dared to her face accuse and re-
! proach her. in one breath, of coquetry
and it's result.
Yet as her eyes scanned the fresh,
handsome face. the tall, muscular
young form. holding itself so erect-and
bravely, her anger died in admira ton
of his noble bearing and the courage
which forbade him to utter platitudes
Of falsehood.
Really she responded "it must he
that my ear is, indeed. satiated with
f1attery that l find your rudeness re.
, freshing."
SIS truth rudeness, Florence? Then
1. indeed, must bear the Implication.
But once more put to you the ques-
ton: Do you know the consequences
of your rash act tonight? An act
which could be dictated only by wo-
mans vanity and atoned for in a
mans blood?''
''Of what are you speaking?' she re-
piled.
But involuntarily. her glance fell to
the ribbon OH her arm.
His hand followed the glance, and
lightly clasped her wrist.
81 speak of this, Florence, and you
know it WE'LL" he said-"this tiny bit
of ribbon. tinted with the blue of heav-
ell, but which has done the work of
aell-this and the red rose fashioned by
God and cursed by man, with woman's
seal upon the curse. Are you aware

you always-remember that" and then

you always-remember that" and then
he turned and left her.
She threw herself back in the chair
with long, low sigh. Tears-the first
that Madame Florence had shed-triclS-
led UNDECIDED through the closed fing-
erS, and splaSed unheeded on the white
lace Of her robe.
They would fight for me-" she MUIR
INJURED. at must not be. 1t is as Har-
ry says-their blood would stain my
soul. But how to prevent it-how?"
The question still echoed in her heart
when she entered her own apartment.
Her maid handed her note, which
had been brought during the evening.
The envelope was addressed in crab
bed, Uniformed hand. Indifferently she
tore it open. Another moment, and her
good angel had crossed with her the
threshold of her room; but when the
note was ended, a hooking demon
stood in its stead. Yet the note was
very short, and these We're the words it
held:
ga friend would warn Madame Flor
ence that her former husband, Louis
Gervase, arrived in st. Petersburg to-
day, and is plotting mischief. He in
tends to do her evil"
She crushed the paper in her hand,
then thrust it into the very heart Of
the glowing fire.
Gle shall know tomorrow that a
prince fought for my sake" she NUT
tered to herself. "He shall know, as
well, that 1 shall wear a princess IT,
tie. Louis Gervase, 1 defy you and the
world to harm me them"
Surely this woman, standing in the
midst of the exquisitely-
roon:-her figure reflected at full length
in an opposite mirror, her eyes blazing
scorn. her white teeth clenched, her
head thrown proudly back-had spoken
truly when, looking at this picture of
herself, she said that Florence Vane
was dead.
"Let them live for me or die for me"
she murmured, with a cruel hooking
smile upon the perfect lips. cit is my
due. and through it do 1 pay my debt
to him."

Froze1 Heart,
Il THRILLING LOVE STORY.
BY FRANCES WARNER WALKER.

What had happened? Something was
in the air-such as precedes the thun-
der storm. Her eyes fell on the rose at
his breast.
''You will wear my colors?" she half
whispered.
YES" he answered, "to the death!'
But she little dreamed that the words
held literal meaning. That he would
be worsted in the impending conflict.
bancroft had no doubt.
The princes reputation as a swords
man was as we'll known to him as to
others. and his own skill was as moth
ing compared to it. Yet, singular to
say. it was not of the woman for whose
sake his life blood would be spilled
tomorrow that he thought as he went
out from her fair presence into the
night.
\ voice within him told him that
when they brought her the news that
he. indeed, had worn her colors "to the
DEATH" the lovely cheek would mo-
mentarily pale, perhaps. the exquisite
bosom heave a sigh. the sweet voice
would murmur, Poor boy! life for
rose! and then he, like rose, he. too,
would be forgotten. her smile drying

Wrapped in his furs, he paced the
face. Slowly he seemed awakening
from a dream. and out from the dead
and buried past there shaped itself Il
sweet. fair face-a face less beautiful
far less beautiful-than hers ON whom
his eyes so short a time ago had rested,
but lighting into beauty, as electricity

love!
Aye. she had loved him-now, when
death stared him in the face, the pas
sion which so long had swayed him
burnt low and the old days came back
to him with cruel force and cruel long
ing.
He had bartered gold for dross, and
the price he had paid had been. first,
acknowledgements, life! Yet tonight
was still his, and once, more, himself
unseen, he would gain, if might be, a
passing glimpse of Beatrice Leonard's
face!
The season was at it's height. The
night was young. Doubtless she would
be at some gay scene, and later would
return to her home.
Walking hastily now, he gained the
street, the mouse, once so famlllaf. Up
and down he paced before it, to keep
the blood warm in his veins.
At last a covered sleigh stopped be-
fore the door, and the bells near rang
out one sharp. single stroke.
He covered behind marble lion. as
4 thief might hide. but his long wait
! ing met with it's reward
One instant the lamplight streamed
full upon Beatrice Leonard's face. as,
wrapping her furs more closely about
her. she sprang, with a slight shiver,
from the sleigh and disappeared within
the doors. which flew open to receive
her and the tall, stately man who fol-
lowed her.
The doors closed. Once again Carlo
bancroft was alone in the darkness
and the night, indeed. for he knew now
that by his own hand he had shut out
the daylight and the dawn.
He died for Madame Florence-for
the beauty which had fascinated and
bewitched him-but his heart, false
and tickle as it's beats had been. once
more and forever. lay in Beatrice Leon
; ards own keeping.
