 What Is the trouble?"
 Whenever you make any references to the dangers of a Fourth of July eel ebration you speak of the small boy as getting the worst of it. There is a man in our house-a near relative who is so much afraid I will hurt myself that le wants to conduct the entire pyrotechnic display himself, while I stand in the parlor and look through the window. Last year he was obliged to wear medicated mask for two weeks, owing to the fact that his whiskers took fire. But the lesson has made no impression on him, and I wish you would call attention to the fact that small boy is a great deal more at home with fireworks than a near-sighted man with large, dry whiskers.'

Elaborate Plan for the Identification of Baltimore. The First Eastern City to Copy Western Methods

American river at Folsom, twenty miles away.
 Power is transmitted from San An tonic, Canon, Cal, to Pomona. sixteen miles away in one direction. and to San Bernardino, twenty-eight miles in anoth- CT. Seattle and Tacoma are lighted by the power of Snoqualmine Falls, distant from the two cities twenty-five and thir- ty-five miles, respectively Butte Mont, gets 15,000 volts from the Big Hole river. over twenty miles away. Redlands Cal, goes nine miles to NH Creek Canon for it's electric light.
 Salt Lake City used to be satisfied with 10000 volts received overland fourteen miles from the waters of the Big Cotton wood, but when the trolley system grew larger an additional 16,000 volts had to be transmitted from ogden Canon, thirty five miles distant.
 This is the way the West is being light ed. There are plants at Los Angeles, Cal. Riverside, Cal; Colorado Springs; New Richmond, Wis.,; Ouray, Col, and Guad- alajara, Mexico.
 But the greatest plants of all are now being built in California. One of these plants stretches its wires nearly all the way across California. The initial water falls are located in the Blue Lake region, in the eastern part of the state, and the lines will carry 60,000 volts 152 miles to San Francisco. One large offshoot will extend to Stockton. The other plant starts on the Tuba river and transmits 45,000 volts to Oakland, 145 miles distant 1t will have offshoots extending to Sacra- mento and to Nevada City. Both of these systems will be utilized In the cities and mines en route.
 There are indeed many places in the West which would lose prestige if long distance transmission were to be denied them, and others, particularly in the mining regions. where power Is dear, would lose entirely their means of sus- tenance There are places where coal is worth eight dollars ton which are oper- ated proftably by long g-distance currents. and the cities of the West are clean and healthy and not afflicted with the smoke nuisance which has lately scourged New York So Baltimore. in deciding to use the waters of the Susquehanna is taking a first step toward becoming an ideal Eastern town, and her example is impor- tant because of the influence it may have on other Eastern cities.

 With such view of age, one feels like whipping up the lazy years and getting old at once. In heart and soul the old man is not old-and never will be. He is paradoxically old, and that is all. So 1t is that he grows younger with increasing years, until old age at worst Is always at a level par with youth. Who ever saw a man so old as not secretly and most heartily to wish the veteran years upon years of greater age? And at what great age did ever any old man pass away and leave behind no sudden shock, and no selfish hearts still to yearn after him and grieve on unconsoled?

 D ever. Plans have been laid to convert he municipality into an electric city like Niagara. The power will be generated by the waters of the Susque- hanna River and transmitted overland by wire to Baltimore.
 The idea has been in process of forma- ton for 9 year and a hair, and the deal has just been closed whereby syndicate will ultimately absorb the United Light and Power Company and the Mount Washington Electric Light Company. The syndicate will take up one or both of two development schemes one known as the Beach Bottom Development. own ed by Baltimore and Pittsburg capital ists, the other the Conowingo Develop ment, south of Peach Bottom, owned in Philadelphia.
 A third plant Is in contemplation, and the first generation of horse power will be as high as 10000. Over $9OO,OOO has been paid for the two lighting and power companies under the auspices of the Continental Trust Company of Balti- more. and it is part of the scheme to furnish light and power to small towns and villages surrounding Baltimore.
 This scheme for the electrical develop ment of Baltimore Is, with the exception of Niagara. the first move that has been made by any Eastern city to follow the lead of the West in the matter of con- verting water power directly into cleo n the lead over neighboring cities in at tracting to it manufactories in need of cheap power.
 The possibilities of the system have been wonderfully exemplihed in the West, and the process is a simple one. The water under pressure is made to op- crate turbine which in It's turn oper- ates a dynamo. The electric current from the dynamo Is then transmitted overland to the point of distribution ana used in desirable quantities. Generally a waterfall is used for obtaining local pressure. There is no waterfall of mag nitude on the Susquehanna. put there IS a gradual fall from Harrisburg to tide water of 1o4 feet, and this will be suHl- cient for the purpose of the electricians.
 This idea of transmitting electric cur rent generated by waterfalls to distant points of utilization has revolutionized the industrial conditions in the West wnere cities. mines and manufactures are light ed and operated many miles from the initial waterfall. In fact, there Is no lim- it to the distance the current may De transmitted mechanically. sacramento Cal, Is lighted and its trolley cars are operated by power generated on the

 The Old Man never grows so old as to become either stale juiceless or unpala- table. The older he grows. the mellow CT and riper he becomes. His eyes may fail him, his step falter, and his big mouthed shoes-"A world too wide for his shrunk shanks"-may cluck and shuttle as he walks his rheumatics may make great rheumatics of his knees; the rusty hinges of his vertebrae may re- fuse cunningly to articulate, but all the same the "backbone'' of the old man has been time-seasoned and tested, and no deersldn vest YVES ever buttoned round a tougherl Look at the eccentric kinks and curvings of it-its abrupt depres- sion at the base and its rounded bulg ing at the shoulders; but don't laugh at the smart young man who airily ob- serves how full-chested the old man would be if his head were only turned around, and don't kill the young man, either, until you take him out some place and tell him that the old man got himself warped up in that shape along about the times when everybody had to hump himself Try to bring before the young mans defective mental vision a disssolving view of a good old-fash- toned barn-raisin' "-and the old man .'grubbin'." and ''burnin " logs and ''un- derbrush," and "dreenin' at the same time, and trying to coax something be- sides calamus to grow in the spongy little tract of swamp land that he could stand in the middle of ana "wobble'' and shake the whole farm.

 In this little side-show of existence the old man is always worth the full price of admission. He is not only the great est living curiosity on exhibition, but the object of the most genial soHeitude and interest to the serious observer It is even good to look upon his vast fund of afflictions, finding prominent above them all that wholesome patience that surpas- seth understanding; to dwell compassion stely upon his prodigality of aches and ailments, and yet by his pride in their wholesale possession, and his thorough

WHAT'S HISTORY !?

President Roosevelt is reported as nav
ing said that never while he is Presl-
don't of the United States will Maclays
history be used at the Naval Academy
as a text book.
The President means by this to say
;nat Maclay's history, so-called, is not
a history, but q one-sided narrative, full
Of prejudice and spite. Men like Maclay
are not fit. TO write history. A historian
snoul5. be a man of broad view and
should be truthful reporter. II he sup
presses or extenuates or mlsstates or
.,isleads he is not a historian, but a par
tisan writer. 1t is scarcely less than
criminal to teach the children out OF
such a. book, whether 1t be written by
Maclay concerning the Spanish-American
var or by a Northern writer or South
crn writer concerning the war between
t;,e States. We have no right to teach
tie children anything except the exact
truths Of history, when we set out to
teach them history at all. We have no
right to mislead the children by mis-
statement or suppression or extenuation
or coloring or what not. The child has

RICHMOND MIGHT GET IT.
The Chesapeake and Western Should
Come This Way.
ilitor Of The Times:

Editor of The Times:
Sir.-Is Richmond to make no effort to
secure the Chesapeake and Western
Railroad? It is understood that the rail-
read is to pass either through Gcrdons-
Vile or Charlottesville. In the first con-
t'ngency a line may be easily run down
the South Anna River to the vicinity Of
Rockville, in Hanover county; thence
down the valley Of the creek which emp
ties into the James at Vinita, and thence
to Richmond.
In case the read passes through Char
lu.tesville the line may follow the Ri
wanna to Columbia. cross the James and
follow the south bank of that river to
Richmond.
Either of these routes would open up
belts Of river bottom which are now des-
titute of transportation facilities, the
valley of the James at least being fer
tile and productive.
From Richmond to Gloucester Point
the York River Road would be utilized
us far as West Point, as the new road
is not competitor of the Southern.
Fl ON West Point to Gloucester Point
The construction would be very easy.
Either of the proposed routes would
add not more than fifteen miles to the
length of the road. entailing an addi-
tional expenditure of about S2OO0CU. Can
Richmond pay this for a new through
Inc to tho West? Assuredly, yes.
