many other experiments will tend to en- large the sphere of water-made electric sty Tn all parts of the world. In the south of France there is an almost gen erai substitution of water power and eiectricity for coal. The streams which come down from the STOW crowned Abs are Deins harnessed to dynamos and the tower thus generated is penetrating to all the manufacturing towns and vii. 'ases or the country. The French peo. pie speak of the electric fluid as 'the "ni'e coal" in allusion to its source among the Alpine snows, and they,set the time in the near future when the, whl pc independent of coal as a source o. power.

WATER AND COAL.

The substitution of electric for steam | power is advancing much faster than a casual reader might imagine. 1t is one
 of the wonders of the age, but there
 would be but little economy if the world
 should continue to use coal and wood
 to generate the electric power, for one
 of the problems which has worried econ
 omists for years has been the question of what the world will do for motive
 power when the coal is exhausted. It
 was but lately that scientists seemed to
 get their eyes open to the fact that there
 is in the world an almost unlimited wa
 ter power going to waste, and that this
 can be utilized in a way undreamed of
 but few years ago. On this subject
 The Manchester (N. H.) Union says
 The application of water power to the pro- duction of electricity has advanced with re- | markable rapidity during the past few years and the opinion is general that only beginA ming has been made. The exposition at Buff | falo is a gigantic illustration not only of the possibilities of Niagara, but of what may be | done on smaller scale in well-nigh countless | localities-anywhere, in fact where water falls | over rapids in its descent to the sea. At pres | ent .he tendency is to generate electricity at
 any convenient point and to convey 1t to the | centers of population and of manufacture: but | this may not always be the prevailing prac- | tice, Electricity is so readily applied to any | size of motor, furnishing power in any de | sired amount. that many have cherished the | hone that there would be a return to small and | independent manufacturing establishments. | with a consequent scattering of population over | an extended territory, in opposition to the | present massing of the people.
 Whether this hope Is ever fully real
 ized or not cannot now be answered, but
 so much has been done in that direction | that the time may not be far distant
 when the small village as we'll as the
 large city will have its own electric
 plant, and manufacturing will not neces-
 sarily be carried on in crowded and con
 gested cities. One of the beauties and
 utilities of electric power is that it can
 be carried to practically unlimited dis | tances with little or no loss of energy. | Water power is the cheapest power known, but 1t must be used where it is l generated, if used in the way it has | been used for ages, and that is why it | has been so largely superseded by
 steam. which can be generateU and used wherever there Is fuel to be had.
 This is why electric power is so rapid l ly taking the place of all other power. | What is being done on a large scale at
 Buffalo is in process of completion at
 Tallassee, and the success of these and

THE STREET CARS
Traffic Suspended for an Hour and 6
 Half Last Night

Half Last Night
 Last night for the second time within three days the Montgomery Street Car Company, went entirely out of business. For an hour and half, between and 10:30 o'clock. not car on the system moved. This same state of affairs ex- isted between the same hours Saturday night. The apparent reason for this tenn porary suspension which is becoming a regular thing. Is the lack of power to operate the cars. No doubt the rattle trap machinery which the car company own. broke down and while waiting for repairs the public have to suffer. tele- rhone message to the power house was an wered that they did not know what was the matter. When asked if the ma chinery had broke down. the reply came: ri anybody should ask you, just tell them that you don't know
 A gentleman whose statement can be conridered authoritative stated to an Ad- vertiser representative yesterday that tne Montgomery Light Company only Car Comp4ny. anl they have their own machinery in the Light Company build- ing Ana tnls gentleman further said that the machinery was in an awful con- dition. Now 1t is evident that the Light Company plant is operating satisfactorily burning properly at the time the street car company shut down, hence the only possible calculation is that its old plant again played out
 The public are getting sick and tired of this almost daily occurrence. The cor ners were crowded last night with pe- destrians anxious to get to their contem- plated destinations. No one of the citi- zens knew when the cars would start again, and naturally they turned their query to the Street Car Company. It was learned that phone 22l at the Street Car Company shed was rung time and time again last night during the shut down. still not one answer was received. In addition to suspending traffic the car ant 1at inc enough to tell an inquisitive citizen what the prospects were for relief
 And thus matters ran on. If the power does not give out the car will jump the track. or the trolley line will break, the motor will burn out, or something worse may happen.

He said that many of the Erg- knowledged receipt of the circular and sanctioned the movement. There was TO doubt but that the convention to be held in this city on the 18th inst. would te well attended.

SOME MORE CRANKs.

In Denver lot of scientific cranks late " got themselves together and resoluted Adam and Eve out of the Bible, and out Of history. and out of everything else. They declare that no such persons ever existed. and that belief in them, or m the common percentage of the human family should no longer be taught or al- lowed. These iconoclasts wipe out the whole story of creation
 It strikes us very forcibly that the ac- ceptance of this Denver deliverance would be vastly more farAreaching than might at first be supposed. If 1t were merely the elimination of the two names which have come down to us as the names of our first parents we might ad init that other names would, perhaps do just as well, but a little thought will convince any one that this is not where the trouble lies, and not the point of the difficulty.
 1T we admit that there was no Adam and no Eve, then it follows as a neces-' sary sequent that there was no apple no serpent. no temptation. no fall. If there was no Adam and Eve there was no garden and no transgre ssion and no lree or Life. But that is only part of the perplexing result If we deny that 'HS'S was all AudIn ana Eve who were our first parents, then it follows that there was no Cain and Abel, no Noah. no Ark and no flood. In fact, is 1t not an inevitable conclusion that if there were no first parents, then all that fol- lows in the way of Biblical history goes with 1t. and the entire genealogy from Adam to the Savior is a myth? As we said. the denial by any student or society that there were no first or common parents named Adam and Eve would be of little consequence. because those two personages by another name would still stand as the father and mother of the human race. but to deny that there ever was any first parents assuredly carries with 1t the entire structure of Biblical history, faith and belief. and leaves us without starting point. Those Denver people may be cranks. but they will have followers, and we may expect to hear their views ex- plotted, and probably a sect organized to promulgate them. What will come l next?
