MAMMOTH TURBINES.
Six New Ones For the niagara Falls
Power Company.


\ new feature of much interest has
been added TO the delights Pan-Amcri-
can crowds will have when they visit
Niagara Falls 10 view the scenic and
Industrial attractions there. In that
favored spot there is already developed
more power than is used in many Of
the large cities, bat to this developed
force must be adled 10000 horsepower
that is TO be developed by means Of
six new turbines and six new gener-
ators. the contracts for which have
been awarded. These new turbines
are to be installed in the new wheel
pit now in course of construction. The
design of the new turbines will differ
materially from the design of those
now in use in the present wheel pit.
This change is significant of the fact
that the Niagara Falls Power COM
pany intends that the installation in
its new plant shall be up to the highest
state of perfection known in this open
ing year of the century. IL is this
knowledge that at Niagara the most
modern. the most perfect working pow
er development in the world, may be
seen that will inspire visitors to the
Exposition to go there and look upon
the wonders that man has wrought.
Each of the six new turbines will
have a capacity Of 5000 horsepower,
and each will he connected to and
drive n 5000 horsepower generator.
The turbines now in use were designed
by Picard, Pictet & Co. of Geneva,
Switzerland, while the new turbines
are to be built after designs prepared
by Escher. Wyss & Co. of Zurich,
Switzerland, the plans of which can
pany were accepted in competition.
The turbines in the old pit each have
two wheels, while the new turbines
are each to have but single wheel.
With these new turbines in place
In the wheel pit. the output capacity
of the Niagara Falls Power company
will be $4,000 horsepower. There will
be space in the new pit for five addi-
tional turbines. each of 5000 horse
power capacity, and with these in
place the total output of the two pits
will be 105,00 horsepower

Protecting American Dairy Interests.

The Dolliver amendment to the agri-
cultural appropriation bill adopted by
the senate takes a commendable step
toward preserving the foreign markets
for American dairymen. Senator Dol
liver's proposition is for a rigid inspec-
ton of all dairy products intended for
export. Its purpose is to prevent but
ter limitations from being shipped
abroad as genuine butter, only to be re-
jected after trial and test by the for
eign consumer. One Of the most ur-
gent complaints against the present
practice of the makers and exporters
of butter limitations is that they do not
hesitate to ship their goods abroad in
the name of the genuine dairy product,
thus depreciating the value of the lat
ter in the foreign market. By the use
of double export pail cover and other
cunning devices the makers of artifi-
cial products have been enabled to
avoid detection as the goods are being
sent abroad. Under proper system
Of government inspection it ought to be
impossible to send out of the country
any article of an artificial nature brand
ed as natural, and it ought, further
more, to be possible to prevent such
adulterations as will eventually de-
stroy the foreign market for all classes
Of goods, whether pure or not, which
fall in the least degree under suspicion.
1t is hard enough to capture the for
eign market at best and more difficult
still to hold 1t In the face of the oppo-
sition of foreign governments without
the handicap of fraudulent practices
which serve to destroy confidence
abroad in the integrity of American
products.

TALL CORN

doesn't come by accident. A
fertile soil and careful cultiva
ton are necessary to produce
the towering stems and heavy
ears.
Yet the farmer who under
stands that he can't have a
healthy corn crop without
feeding and wedding, seems
to think that he can have a
healthy body without either
care or culture. But the body
is built up just as the corn is,
by the assimilation of the
several chemical elements on
which vitality depends. And
what weeds are to the corn,
diseases of the stomach and
nutritive systems are to the
body they divert the neces-
sary food supply from the
proper channels, and the
body becomes lean, sickly
and ill-nourished.
The proper digestion and
assimilation of food is a pri-
mary essential of health. By
healing diseases of the stom-
ach and organs of digestion and
nutrition, DR.. Pferce's Golden
Medical Discovery increases
the digestive and assirnilative
powers, stimulates the action
of the blood making glands,
and sends to every organ of the
body the rich red-corpuscled
blood on which physical vigor
and vitality depend.

BETTER PASSPORTS.
More Protection For American Cffi-
Gems of Foreign Birth.

Gems of Foreign Birth.
The department Of state has adopted
new policy in issuing passports to
American citizens of foreign birth
which, it is believed, will result in pre-
venting some of the arrests of those
who now return to the country Of their
origin, says the Washington Star.
Heretofore it has been the practice to
grant passports to all Americans who
proved their citizenship and allow
them to go wherever they chose with
out any warning as to the risks they
might run, but it has been found that
many people of foreign birth suppose
that the mere acquisition Of American
citizenship and the security of an
American passport render them i'm
muhe from the operation Of the laws or
regulations of the country of which
they were formerly subjects or citizens
If they return. Such is, however, very
far from being the case.
In all countries a person who secures
naturalization in another country is
still liable to punishment upon his re-
turn for an offense committed before
his emigration, and In some countries
emigration and naturalization without
permission are themselves offenses.
The department has taken a very
simple way of preventing Americans
from unwittingly running into danger
by preparing a series Of notices which
1t now sends to all applicants for pass
ports of foreign birth. Each applicant
receives one Of these notices with his
passport. 1t Is brief and simply writ
ten and tells him IN way that any one
can comprehend just what the laws
and regulations are that may affect
him. AS the notices relate to the pol
Icy Of foreign countries they are not
official, but they are believed to be cor
rect and have been compiled with
great care in the department after con-
sultation with our ministers abroad.
The notices for Germany, France and
Switzerland are being regularly issued.
and those for other countries of Eu-
rope and Asia are now being printed.
There is intended to be no departure
from the attitude Of dissent of this gov.
ernment from the policy of certain for
eign countries in their treatment Of
their former subjects or citizens, and
the department has from abundance Of
caution so instructed American diplo-
matte agents abroad.

Lumber Supply Nearing Its End.

Lumber Supply Nearing Its End.
The American Lumberman publishes
some figures which should stir con-
gress and state legislatures to prompt
action touching the preservation of
American forests. They ought also to
move owners of forest lands to consid-
er whether self interest would not re-
quire them to take steps to prevent the
destruction Of their industry.
In 1890 the states of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota produced S,597.-
100000 feet of pine lumber. Since then
the product has steadily declined and
In 1900 was but 5,4S5, ,2G1 900 feet. Dur
ing the last two years prices of lumber
have been high, and there has been ev-
cry inducement for the mills to turn
out heavy product. Every resource
has been strained but without avail.
The trees could not be found. The end
Of the white pine industry of the north
west Is almost at hand The years Of
its greatness are already passed.
While the destruction of the forests
In the states named has perhaps been
more rapid than elsewhere by reason
of the proximity to markets and favor
able shipping facilities, all forest sec
tions of the country are suffering irrep
arably from the woodman's AK. Chief
Geographer Gannett of the United
States geological survey, from the best
data obtainable estimates the total
stand of timber throughout the United
States at 1880, ,OOO,O 100000 feet In 1880
the cut was about 25,000,000,000 feet
and since that time it has steadily in.
creased throughout the country at
large, though decreased in some Sec
tions by reason Of the practical ex-
haustion of the supply.
At the present rate of consumption
the available supply will last not to
exceed 80 years and perhaps not so
long as that. The present generation is
likely to feel the pinch of scarcity.
Aside from the meteorological infu-
ences of land denudation and its effect
upon the water courses there is shame
full waste of natural wealth which is
justly a part of the heritage of coming
generations. The preservation of the
yet remaining forests is one of the
most important matters to which legis-
lators, state and national, can direct
their wisdom and energy.

ing the wants of his customers,
trying to please them both in style
and price.
Second. While his styles are
the very latest, such as a good
dresser would want, his prices are
very moderate, and you don't have
to have all kinds OF money to buy
shoes ut Miller's.
Third. He controls ard sells
the best lines of Mems and Ladies
Shoes in the U. s., namely-for
Men, the "Walkover" and Doug
lass" union-made shoes; and for
Ladies the "Delsarte" for $3.50,
the "Herrick" for $3.50 and $500
and Cincinnati goods for 81 ,$2-25,
$3.50 and $500.
Fourth. He gives special at
