POWER FROM sAULr STE. MARIE.

Great System Being Perfected for Its
Utilization in Manufactures.
From the Chicago Tribune.
There Is under way at Sault Ste. Marie
Mich, the eastern end of Lake Superior
what Is conceded to be the greatest water
power system in the world. There Is In
process of building a canal two miles long
carrying a stream Of water twenty-five
feet deep and more than two hundred feet
wide, big enough for the largest ships
of the lakes, that is to supply force te
turbines and dynamos capable Of general
ing 10000 horse power. The fall of the
river at the outlet of Lake Superior is eight
cen feet, all of which is to be utilized. AL.
ready there has been completed and put
into use 1900 horse power on the Cana
dian side of the river by the same com
pany.
The combined companies have spent some
100000 and have plans for the expendi-
ture of about $15,OOO,0O0 more, which sum
has been placed at their disposal. In init
mate connection with the plans of the COM
panies are others for the manufacture OF
iron and steel and the construction of ships
at Collingwood on Georgian bay, where the
government and the municipality have
granted large concessions
The power works now under way on the
American side of the Sault rapids consist OF
a canal two miles long, now half built
ing through a stone power house 1853 feet
long, set crosswise Of the stream. In this
house are to set $40 wheels and eighty 900
horsepower dynamos, all under construc-
ton at Holyoke and Schenectady.
The canal is an international navigation
affair of Importance for 1t is designed to
rob Lake Superior of nearly half its regular
outflow of water. and the great lake Is Its
mill pond Not less than 10000 cubic feet of
water will flow through the canal each Sec
Ond. In order that this enormous flow
shall not lessen the. depth of the lake the
War Department has now in hand scheme
for the erection of remedial plant, to be
built and maintained under It's supervision
by the power company.
Nearly all the great power to be derived
from these works has been contracted for
and will be used for the manufacture of
carbide, steel, paper, alkali and other prod

THIS OLD FORGERY AGAIN.

The Alleged Prophecy of Abraham
Lincoln About the Republics Doom.
From the Dayton EyeAing Pfess.
The Verdict of New fork, In its issue of
May %, has double.page cartoon which
promugates historic! lie. for a truth, and
desecrates the memory Of Lincoln. The
historic lie consists in the reproduction of
the following whine of socialism which
democratic populists and their, socialisdc
comrades have been for years persistentIy
crediting to Lincoln in the face of album
dant and absolute proof of its forgery:
las a result of the war, corporations
have been enthroned and era of corrup-
ton will follow and the money power of
the country will endeavor to prolong its
reign by working upon the prejudices of the
people until Ill wealth is aggregated in a
few hands and the republic IS destroyed.
The Verdict permits its cartoopist to credit
the alleged quotation to "Lincoln's Second
Inauguration Speech" A glance at the
speech will show this to be a brazen false
hood, as nothing resembling this soclalistic
rant occurs in that patriotic utterance.
Hay and Nicolay, about fifteen years ago.
made a thorough and exhaustive search
through Lincoln's written and spoken pro-
auctions without finding an expression or
an idea that could be plausibly construed
as even moral justification Of this puerle
forgery. 1t made its appearance about that
time and was promptly denounced as a for
gerry. The Press has had occasion several
times to expose its falSity.

Ingenious COntriNances for Scientific
Uses.
From the London Express
The British Rainfall Association, as 1t
now stands, is the result of half a CEN
tury's unremitting labor. From something
over 100 at the start, 1t has now more than
5000 reporting stations. which extend over
all parts of the British Isles.
At each sation Is an agent Of the associa-
ton, armed with rain gauge. making OBJ
servations TO DE eventually dispatched to
headquarters for embodiment in the annual
report. On December 81 of each year
printed forms are sent to all the agents,
who are supposed to fill them in with the
particulars of their observations for the en-
tire twelve months.
But now as to how the rain Is measured.
1t is done by means of a gauge. There are
various kinds of gauges, costing from about
rs Cd, up to severa! pounds. The Snow
dom gauge Is considered very trust
worthy apparatus.
1t consists of long circular metal-gal-
vaniZed iron or copper-reservoir which is
wooden spiked stakes. 1t contains a glass
bottle and metal funnel. At the side of
ii. also fixed into the ground by means of a
spiked stake, is graduation glass, which
will register from hlIndredth of an inch
to half an inch.
The rain is caught in the funnel. which
fits flush with the reservoir, and passes
into the glass bottle. From this 1t Is poured
into the graduation glass and so measured.
At Camden Square 0he headquarters of
the association) there is a very elaborate
and ingenious gauge. which measures and
registers automatically. The rain is caught
in funnel and passes into a metal cup,
which is connected with index. AS the
cup fills 1t presses upon the index, which
marks a line on a paper form wound round
cylinder.
When the cup Is full 1t turns over and
empties its contents into a larger receptacle
and returns to its former position, the
index having registered exactly one inch
and shifted its position ready to repeat the
operation. At the same time dial on the
outside Of the gauge also marks the work.
ing Of the index. The former can be read
at night by means of a lantern which is
attached at the side. So that the depth of
a rainfall may be ascertained at once by
merely glancing at the dial fixed to the
gauge.
Another remarkably ingenious contriv-
ance to be found at Camden Square, and
which took years to perfect. Is an elabor-
ate apparatus which will simultaneously
measure rain, snow and hail and register
them. 1t will also register thunder, light
ming and the rate OF the wind. 1t gives the
duration of thunderclaps and the number
of lightning flashes. 1t Is altogether a most
wonderful invention.
The average rainfall of a locality is yery
useful knowledge to farmer who contem-
plates purchasing land in a district he ia
unacQuainted with.

formed with the greatest secrecy. 1t
is known as the Federal Pattern Com
pany. The first step was to get con-
troll of the output of all the pattern-paper
factories in this country and then refuse to
sell pattern paper to any company which
declined to come into the trust. Nearly all
the pattern paper used in this country is
made in the New England states. There
are not more than half a dozen big facto-
ries. One factory's output has already been
bought.
Russia Wants More Money.
There is a report from London that a
prominent financial agent of Russia is COM
ing to New York to negotiate another large
loan for his country. This is believed by
local bankers to be true. financier, who
returned from Russia recently and was in
terested in the negotiations for the last
loan made by this country to Russia for the
extension of the Vladikawkas railway,
says:
M. Rothstein. president of the Russian
Imperial Bank of St Petersburg. and one of
the governments trusted against is. l have
been informed, coming here to get money
for some of the Russian trans-Caucasan
railways This is one of the largest roads
in the world, and is not completed by any
means They need money. The last loan
of $1J,0Oo, 900 made to Russia about two
months ago was for the Vladkawkas road
in the southeast part of the empire. The
money was held in trust in this city. and
various banks and trust companies. Mr..
Rothstein is coming from London here. and
is going to Washington TO see the Russian
minister of finance. NJ. Ronthowsky
through whom all negotiations are to he
made
American Athletes Handicapped.
American athletes who compete in the
sports at the Paris exposition will find
themselves handicapped by conditions with
which they are unfamiliar, as the rules
governing many of the events are radical
ly different from those which obtain in this
country. The most essential difference is in
the pole vault, in which the English meth
cd. which allows the vaultcr to climb the
pole has been adopted. American ath-
letes long ago abolished this on the ground
that that feature brought in the element
leap from the ground was not only more
graceful. but required more skill and
strength than the old method. Those who
enter from this side are apt to be some
what handicapped. therefore, as the inter-
vening time is not sufficient to practice the
French and English method successfully.
In the weight throwing some concessions
have been made. In the hammer throw the
loop handle will be used instead of the
straight handle used by English athletes.
The J6-pound weight throw has been elm
mated. and the contests will consist of the
discus. shot-put and hammer throw. The
shot VIII be put from a seven-foot square
instead of a circle, and the measurement
will be from the nearest break in the
ground directly to the square or prolonga-
ton of the lines of each side. This is SINH
lar to a rule in vogue in America many
years ago. The discus will also be thrown
from square instead of a ring.
