Electrical Possibilities,

When one realizes that it is possible
to-day to transmit with q fair efficiency

of 100000 square miles area. or, to put
1t in another way, over a diameter of
800 miles extent, and realizes that only
six such stations would be required to
serve the entire country from the At
lantic to the Pacific Ocean throughout
n belt Of 500 miles wide, one may well
think that the alternating current sys-
tenn has approached the limits of its
serviceable expansion, but 1 am con-
vinced that, while the extension of the
territorial limits covered by the system
need no longer demand the study of the
engineer, we will expand its use enor.

If those who are not succeeding in
proportion to the amount of effort
they exert would examine themselves
closely, they would find. as a rule,
that their locomotives are off the
track. Not realizing where or what the
trouble is, they merely intensity 1t by
putting on more steam, and, the more
they put on, the deeper they sink into
the mud and the harder it Is to move.
If they would stop long enough to
examine their machinery intelligently,
and make a thorough investigation of
the causes that prevent its working
properly, they would probably succeed
in getting their locomotives on the
Eight track before they waste all their
steam plowing in the sand and mud.

middle life, the secret of their failure

One OF the main motives Of misers
which the London Spectator recognizes
is the passion for collecting. Asiatics
often hoard coin and jewels to their
own hurt, knowing that their possess
sion involves extreme danger; and
there are two authentic stories Of great
accumulatlons of gold coin made by
Englishmen who seemed to derive
pleasure from its actual sight and
touch. These are, however. rather H.
Illustrations of the collector mania, so
often described and analyzed in the
case of books and china, than instances
of true miserliness, which is based,
we are convinced, rather on fear than
on the passion of boarding.

and most of the six hundred savages

as runner, and his practice now stood

Caught in n Stampede.

| Two years ago, when the cowboys Of
Northeastern Arizona came together to
| find out who was the "best man" in
various ways, James Evans won the
steer-tying championship by roping,
| throwing and tying vicious steer in
twenty-four seconds. But in a recent
roundup the champion did more re-
markable thing, by which, says the
Kansas City Star, he saved his own
and another mans life.
While he and some companions were
camping for the night on high table
| land, which ended few miles away in
an abrupt drop of 200 feet, a storm
swept through the mountains. Made
nervous by the lightning, the herd of
1900 cattle stampeded in the direction
of the precipice. Evans and his men
mounted hurriedly, and circling to the
front of the maddened cattle. tried
| with whoops and revoiver-shots to turn
them back.
| In the dense blackness of the night
Evans horse missed his footing and
went down in heap, one leg in a
named Davis, running close behind,
stumbled over Evans horse, and Davis.
too, came to earth and lay still, u1con-
scious.
Fifty yards away came the herd, and
short flash of lightning showed Ev-
ans the situation. The swiftly moving
sea of cattle reached 100 yards each way
Unable to arouse Davis, and never
thinking Of leaving his disabled COM
rade, Evans took the only chance Of
saving both. He emptied his own re-
volver and his companions into the
centre Of the herd, cutting a breach in
the front of the mass. Then, throw
ing the inanimate form of Davis over
his shoulder, he awaited his opportun-
| ity.
| AS one of the leaders brushed by,
| Davis, with one movement, put the
body Of Davis across the shoulders
of the steer and mounted, also. Vainly
the animal leaped, bucked and side
jumped. With his legs wrapped tight
ly around the body Of Ills mount, Evans
drove his spurs deep IN and held him
| self and Davis in place.
The steer, wild with rage, agony and
| fright, rapidly let the herd in the rear,
and veering to the right at n furious
gallop, carried his riders out of danger.
Then Evans rolled off the back of his
| strange rescuer, and half-hour later,
when his cowboys turned the head
| of the herd at the rim of the canon,
and rode back to look for the foreman
and Davis, they found them, bot. un-
conscious. The weary steer, with his
| sides covered with blood, lay exhaust
| ed a short distance away.
The outfit ordered medal for Evans.
and the steer has been pensioned for
