Extensive coal deposits were found

He built the West Virginia Central

him that he knew every nail that was

years ago the road reached n certain

Davis and said

water Power in California.

The wonderful results which Cali
fornia has accomplished IN the trans
mission of electricity to distances
greater than anywhere else in the
world leads to an interest in its pecu-
liar type OF water power possibilities
which in part make this great electri-
cal development possible. The secret
of the efficiency of California powers
lies in the excessive grades of the
mountain streams rather than in an
unusual volume of flow. the near
proximity Of the high Sierras to the
populated valleys and their quick de
scent, giving the streams unusual ad-
vantages in this regard.

the lines OF dissipation and reckless

soldiers self-restraint held them In

Mrs. Trezevant sat across the table
from the lieutenant In the rosy light
her face was pale and pure. Her
eyes were carefully guarded by the
long lashes that swept her cheeks.
Just before dinner the lieutenant
had been presented to Mrs Trezevant.
He ate his soup in silence, and the
neglected woman who sat beside him
decided that heroes were very stupid
creatures indeed.

The lieutenant lifted his eyes to
meet Mrs. Trezevant's troubled ones.
The girl had ideals. He could not
reach them. Poor fellow, he did not
spare himself-he said that he was
intemperate-brutal-he took all the
blame. He drifted from Cuba to Ma
