Twoscore Men and Their Work-keepinQ
the Daily Record Toll Incessdnt
at the Switchboard

1t is at in the morning, in the
midst Of the first big rush of each
twenty-four hours, that the day be-
gins at the power houses where they
produce the current for hauling troll
ley cars in and about the business
congeries of towns we call the Greater
New York, says the Press.
You would not need to look at the
clock to recognize the hour were you
lettering about one of these great
electricity shops in the early morning.
The approach of o'clock is preceded
by the dribbling arrival of a lot of
stalwart fellows, mostly young, many
of whom on entering the place are
carefully clad in the tweeds or dag
onals of the ordinary business man or
clerk.
Four in every five of these who
come earliest pass through the vast
apartment where the great engines la
Dor and the big generators whine to
narrow stairway leading to a loft
! where lockers and bath-tubs and roll
Ter towels are much in evidence. There
the early arrivals transform them
selves from men of affairs to work
ingmen by stripping off their creased
trousers, their up-to-date coats and
waist coats and their high collars and
substituting therefor wooden shirts
and overalls, in which the freest move
ment is comfortable and which can
not be damaged by the, oil and dirt
with which power house men must
come in contact from time to time
through the day.

POWER FROM THE NILE.

Vast Possibilities of Suitable Use Of the
Water.
Professor George Forbes, says Lon
don Engineering, is reported to have
said to an interviewer, in reference to
his Nile power scheme, that power
could very easily be generated at the
First Cataract, where Assouan, one of
the most important towns in Egypt,
Is situated, to supply electricity for
pumping purposes for the irrigation
of Egypt proper. This would certain
ly be the most important application
of it at this juncture, but the power
could also be introduced into the sugar
factories and other works at Assouan
and elsewhere, and also utilized for
electric light, railways and tramways
which could be worked from there
With the facility of large pumping op-
erations by means of electric power.
1t would be possible to reclaim vast
areas of good soil which are at pres
ent above the reach of the existing
irrigation canals. At the Second Cata-
ract. which is situated just above
Wady Halfa, power could be develop
ed to any extent that is likely to be re-
quired. Its chief value here would
be for working the two railways that
have been built by the Sirdar-one fol-
"
Dongola, the other running across the
desert to Abu Hamid, and thence,
when completed, to Kartoum. But in
order to work this last railway with
the best economy, it would be neces-
sary to make use of the Fifth and
Sixth Cataracts in addition. These
Professor Forbes had not examined,
and consequently did not know what
their capabilities We're. Near the
Third Cataract is n place called Kai-
ber. There n reef Of granite runs
across the river. and IS entirely COW
cred by the water when in food
while in summer all the water flows
through three channels in the reef
At this point n dam could easily be
built, not only for impounding the wa
ter in a reservoir, but also for assist
ing the irrigation at low water in
Egypt proper, and to work machinery
for generating electric power. This
would be applied partly to the work
ing of the first railway referred to
above and partly to pumping opera
tions in the Dongola province. This
province appeared to Professor Forbes
to be capable of being made one of the
most fertile regions of the world. Pro-
fessor Forbes has submitted this re-
port to the Egyptian government, and
1t remains TO be seen what will be the
outcome.

Soldiers SON, for Their Dog.

An ordinary yellow dog passed
through La Junta the other day bound
for Cuba, from Fort Huachuca. Ari-
zona. He was being sent by Wells
Fargo express. after the manner of
gold and silver bullion and other things
dear to the boys in blue. He was out
on foraging expedition the day the
soldiers left the fort, and was conse-
quently left behind. AS soon as he re-
turned the boys at the front made up

Busiest of All.
In sense the switchboard man is
by far the busiest of all the power
house employees. 1t is true that he
spends the greater part of his time
polishing up the bright metal OF the
various indicators about the board and
the brass handrail of the stairs that
lead to the elevated gallery where he
works. But the work is more for the
purpose of keeping him alert than
anything elese. 1t is his real busi-
ness to look out for breaks in circuits
and to close the circuits when breaks
come, and he isn't allowed to sit down
a moment from the beginning to the
end of his day.
AS matter of fact, it's trifle mis-
leading to say he is watching for
breaks in circuits. They don't need to
be watched for. They announce them
like rifle shots, each making long
binding flash of light terrifying to the
outsider, and apparently startling
enough to unnerve the most hardened
switchboard man himself. But the
pops and flashes never faze that in
dividual for an instant. Whenever a
circuit is broken he simply pulls back
a lever or two and stamps hard upon
a pedal to make the connection again.
Sometimes, when the breaks come
thick and fast, the switchboard man
has to hop around like pea on hot
griddle, and then he sweats and may
be swears, but he never loses his head,
or If he does, he loses something else
at the same time. and that is his job.
The last big snowstorm was a good
deal of trial to every switchboard
man within fifty miles of New York.
One, whose troubles are sometimes re-
hearsed in the writer's hearing, had
$50 breaks to look after in a single
day of twelve hours, and was limp
and almost nerveless when he left his
post at night.
Regulating the Power.
BY the time you have taken note of
all these things, the mid-morning lull
is on, and the big nemometer shows
that less than 5000 amperes are being
consumed by the roads served with
electricity by this power house, and
one or more of the big engines is cut
out. Before midday an increase of
power is again demanded, and the en-
gine that was cut out is perhaps set
to work again. In mid-afternoon
thero is another lull, but by 4:3O the
lily drawn on once more. and before
5 all the engines in the house are
working together with giant strokes,

wild Ru.h of Diamond Miners.

A wild rush of miners is reported at
Nullagine, Australia, where diamonds
have been discovered. and it is feared
that many will lose their lives in the
struggle. In this country the rush for
gain is causing men to break down in

There are looks that wound and hurt.

Drop troubles out of sight;
To the dear little wife who is waiting
Go cheerily home tonight.

A smile on her sunny face,
And your wee little girl, as pure as pearl
Will be there in her childish grace.
And the boy, his fathers pride, John,
With eyes so brave and bright;
From the stife and the din to peace, John
Go cheerily home tonight.

Though the shafts of adverse fate
May hustle near, and the sky be drear,
And the laggard fortune wait,
You are passing rich already,
Let the haunting fears take flight,
With the faith that wins success, John,
Go cheerily home tonight
