1t Is encouraging, at least to have Mr..
Tesla's prediction that the time Is not
far distant when we shall be able 0
transmit by underground wires, power
from Niagara to New York City with
loss not exceeding half of one per cent.
He hopes, with the latest improvement
in his transmitter, to obviate most Of
the loss of energy which now makes
the electrical transmission of power
for industrial purposes impracticable
FOR long distances. We have enormous
water power for the cheap generation
of electricity. The great need is means
OF conserving this power during long
distance transmission. With this end
attained we may utilize to the fullest
extent this new motive force which has
already proved SO thoroughly practi-
cable on short circuits. The
power at Niagara may turn
every wheel in New York City
when its transmission becomes prac-
teal success. But at present it can be
transmitted to advantage only 40 to so
miles. 1t may be utilized at greater
distance for street-lighting purposes
than for driving machinery. Thus the
city OF Frankfort, Germany, is now
lighted by electricity generated at the
falls of the Neckar, los miles away,
and Los Angeles is lighted by electro
city developed by water power from
mountain streams 50 miles distant; but
from 40 to so per cent. Of the power
originally available is lost In transmits

The Scheme Failed,

In "Under Three Flags In Cuba,'' by
Musgrave, the author tells how a
scheme was Matched to capture the no.
torious General Weyler:
General Weyler walked nightly down
the Prado with only an aid and three
secret police sauntering behind. Some
Cubans often debated with me the
feasibility Of selling him there one
night, dragging him down the steps to
the Punta beach and shipping him
down the coast to Gomez, to be held as
hostage for all Cuban prisoners. This
would have been easy in the darkness
with a launch and a tug in the off1ng
that could race the obsolete boats in
the harbor.
We worked persisently in planning
this. The guards were to be overpow-
cred by sudden onslaught from the
rear, the general seized, pinioned and
embarked. Lack Of funds delayed the
attempt. Finally we chartered a tug
in Key West, but the owner drew back
at the last, and just as another boat
was offered Weyler was recalled

Not Question of Ownership.

President Eliot of Harvard told this
story at dinner:
GA friend of mine, q college pro-
fessor went into Il crowded restaurant
in New York city for luncheon one hot
day last summer. The negro in charge
of the big corridor where the hat
shelves stood was an intelligent look
ing fellow, and his bow and smile were
not of the obsequious, stupid kind so
often affected by colOred walters ana
doormen in hotels. He took my friends
hat and gave no check for it in return.
An hour later. when the professor
came out Of the dining room, the negro
glanced at him in a comprehensive
way, turned to the shelves and handed
him his hat.
''My friend is a man who prides him
self on his powers of observation, and
the negroes ability to remember to
whom each article of clothing belonged
struck him as being something very
wonderful.
How did you know this was my
hat?' he asked.
81 didn't know it, sah,' was the re-
ply.
"'Then why did you give it to me"
the professor persisted.
because you gave it to me, sah.'"

The Shortness of Life.

What always strikes one SO fOrcibly
is, 1 think, the shortness of human
life, compared with other works Of
nature. The longest life-how short
it is, And half of it one can hardly call
life, being spent in sleep, which is
not real existence.
A French preacher 1 heard once
brought the shortness Of life strongly
before me by relating in his sermon
how a saint, in Olden days, wishing to
impress on himself the rapidity of life's
race, when he came to years of dis
erection, placed so marbles in a glass
jar, each marble to represent year of
human life, taking so years as an out
side limit very far exceeding that.
Then, taking another glass jar, from
the first one he took the number of
marbles representing the years he had
already passed, and placed them in the
empty jar, and then year by year ex-
tracted a marble from the other, till,
more rapidly than he could have
dreamed, the two jars contained 40
marbles each. Then still more swiftly
did each year seem to speed away, and
what had so short time before been
the full jar became the nearly empty
one, till three, two and then only one
marble remained and life, which
had looked so long at starting, had
swiftly and silently melted away.-C.
