POWER FOR CARS
FROM SUSQUEHANNA
Ten Millions Of Dollars to be
Expended Upon the River
Plants.

An expenditure OF from 500, O00,-
to ST., 600 upon the water power
plants ON the Susquchanna river
and transmission systems to Baltl-
more. Wilmington and Philadelphia
seems now to be assured.
During tho past fortnight the
Continental Trust Company, Of
Baltimore, which is financing tho
enterprise, has exercised its option
upon the Cuitrd Railways a. Elec-
trir Company. Of that city. Along
with it goes the lease for the
power necessary to generate all the
electricity used in lighting the city
and operating the railway cars
The plans for constructing tho
great power ft1nt Vn the river have
been completed The canals and
dams will hr built near the border
line between Maryland and Penn
sylvania, There will he three sep
aratc pIants each havinga capacity
of 80, 600 horse power, Ono of these,
and the first to he built, will go to
Baltimorp The second will 90 to
Philadelphia, The third will be
divided between Philadelphia and
Wilmington.
The cost Of this will be at the rate
Of $35 horse power Il year When
fully developed the ljO, Oy0 horse
power will bring a gross revenue OF
s.. $50, 900. 1t is probable that two
com panies will be formed to opera
the power system. One company
will have charge OF generating and
transmitting the power to the various
cities. The other company will have
control Of its distribution.
b. H. Welch. of Philadelphia. is
president of the Snsluehanna
Power Company. 1t is believed in
some financial quarters that the
Philadelphia Electric Company,
which controls the greater part Of
the lighting business in that city,
and the Rapid Transit Company,
which operates As miles Of trolley
lines, will Ultimately become inter-
eSted in this scheme for getting
power from the river. The Rapid
Transit Company is one Of the two
or three largest consumers Of electric
power in America. Hence the de-
velopment Of the elevated systems
here makes the question of power
one Of vital Importance to the Rapid
Transit Company.

COI.ORED MEN OUT.
Rivalry Between Their Own Candidates
Resulted in Choice of White Man.

The colored Republicans of the
State have lost their contest for
recognition in State patronage by
their failure to secure magistrate
and notary public in Wilmington to
succeed Magistrate William w,
Pritchett, Democrat.
The colored people had made
such a clamor for this office that it
seemed probable that Wilmington
would have colored judge. Sud
denly there arose two colored con-
testants, James A. B. Anderson, of
Wilmington. an educated business
man, and John w. Bird, an appli-
cant for admission to the New
Castle county bar. The fight became
SO warm that each declared that
rather than see the other appoin ted
a white man would be preferable
The Governor thereupon selected
Alton e. Pyle.

If you look at a human hair under
the microscope, you will find that it's
surface is formed of successive over
tapping scales. The bristles Of the hog
bear much resemblance to the human
hair, though their diameter is greater
and the tilelike scales are much finer.
Sleeps hair has much coarser scales.
It is owing to the existence of these
scales that a schoolboy is able by a Pc
culiar process to tell which is the tip
and which the other end of a hair roll.
Ing it between his finger and thumb.
Thus manipulated, the hair always
travels In the direction of the base be-
cause the edges Of the scales prevent

The Time For Planting Bulbs.

There is no definite rule to be laid
down as to the length Of time in which
bulbs should be left in cold storage.
AS a general thing, top growth will not
begin until root growth is completed.
This nearly always takes from six
weeks to two months. 1t is therefore
generally safe to begin bringing Octo-
Der planted bulbs to the living o In
December. Those desired for later
Towering can be left in cold storage,
where they will remain dormant as to
top growth. BY bringing bulbs to light
and warmth at intervals of a week or
ten days we secure a succession of
bloom which makes it possible for us to
brighten u windows with their beau
tiful flowers during the greater part of
winter.-New Lippincott.
