better margin.

Overproduction affects only the pro-

POWER IN SCOTCH LAKES.
Ut Is Proposed 10 Drain One Loeb Into
Another One thousand One Hun
dred Feet Below It.

There have been numerous chimer-
ical schemes advanced from time TO time
by land refor1ners for the praci.eAI
utilization of the deer forests and waste
lands Of the Scottish highlands, but,
curiously enough, one never heard of
any practical plan to turn the water of
the Highland lochs to practical account
until a scheme of this nature is within
measurable distance of actual accom-
plishment. Parliamentary powers
granting permission TO utilize the water
of Loeb Ericht, in Perthshire, and con-
vey it 10 Loeb Leven, in Argyllshire, are
to be asked in the coming session, says
the Sketch. The abundance of water
power in America and Germany for
generating electricity at cheap rate
has. ii appears, adversely affected Brit
ish chemical manufacturers. and the
proposed scheme. by which fall OF
1.1cO feet al the head of Loeb LeTen will
be obtained. Will. il is expected, supply
power capable of generating over 81
coo horse power. The scheme has,
moreover, cccasioned. so il is asserted,
a postponement of the project some
l1rge chemical manufacturers had con-
templsted Of transferring their works
from this country to the United States.
Loeb Erieht covers nearly eight square
miles of area, and contains a very large
volume OF water. The diversion is TO be
effected by means of tunnels and open
aqueducts, and the power houses viii
be situated near the head Of Loeb Leven,
which is nayigable at high tide by YES
sels drawing II feet. When completed
new era may dawn for district at

posed to establish number of factories
