star prevails, and this Son of the
Sword rides back again and receives
his crosses once more from the hands
of the sire" Thus Napoleon is not
an incidental character, but an infu-
entail force in the action of the story,
revealing by his acts that unique ma
ture in which the great and the little,
the god-like and the base, were so
startlingly blended.
Mrs. Wood is an English woman who
is better known on the other side of
the water than on this as the author
of charming lyrics and sonnets and of
several important novels, of which
1.-THE Village Tragedy is the most

Electric Power Generated by the st
Lawrence.
TREMENDOUS BUT SIMPLE MACHINERY
Equal to One Hundred Thousand
Horse Power.
ONE MAN CONTROLS IT


Written for The Evening Star.
As a source of power supply to the
Pan-An erican exposition much is heard
of Niagara as to establish a general i'm
preston that it is the most powerful source
of electric current in the world. This is
not so. Niagara is Outdone in this respect
by the St. Lawrence. that vast funnel
which conveys the waters of the Great
Lakes to the sea-a river which from its
head at the Thousand Islands flows with
such force that it forms a continuous wa
terfan for fully 175 miles. True 1t is not
a sheer descent like Niagara, but a gradual
incline which really represents far more
force than the enormous power of Lake
Fries outlet.
Near the little town of Massena. in the
far northeastern corner of New York state
a thousand men have been at work for
several years past constructing what engf-
neers say is the largest power canal in the
world. 1t is practically completed and a
portion of the St. Lawrence now flows
through it to the Grasse river. Though
only about three miles in length, the canal
is 150 feet wide and of sufficient depth
to provide what experts say is sixty feet

of one and one-half inch occurs in which
are set small stars of light green silk placed
one and three-Quarters of an inch apart,
the stars being placed alternately close to
the two sets of double stripes between
which they occur. Each star is about one

in the middle. The whole effect is bold and
