MORE POWER.

Perhaps the time will come when the coal barons will have to sell coal to each other if they sell it at all. The people may not want it. The hydro electric power plant which is being es- tablished at Shawinigan Falls in Can ada is cheering indication for the fu- ture. The location of this power plant is in the province of Quebec, about midway between the cities of Montreal and Quebec. It is proposed to supply both these cities with electric power, and a manufacturing town is already growing up in the immediate vicinity of the falls. The power of the Shawini- gan Falls is enormous. It is always sufficient, it is said, to produce 100000 horsepower, the utilization of which is a great economy, especially as in that part of Canada good coal is not easily obtained. A portion of this power is al- ready utilized, and the full force of the stream will be harnessed as it is de- manded in industry.
 It would be interesting for one who lives now to drop into the world for a tour of observation two hundred years from now. He would see sights as strange and impressive as the steam and the trolley cars would be to the h. dians who used to roam the places where the cars now roam.

LESS DISTR ESSFUE.

It has been apparent for some time That Ireland is not as "distressful' as she used to be. John D. Crimmins, of New York, who has just returned from A visit to Ireland, points out that while there has been loss in population in Ireland of about a million since 1871 there has in that time been an increase in the amount of livestock. which in- crease for horses, cattle sheep and pigs totals over 60O,000 This he takes as showing that there has been change in the agricultural interests of the is- land, farmers turning their attention to stock rather than crop raising, and also to dairy farming. That business has improved of late years he proves by comparing the exports and imports for 1896 and 1900, the volume of trade being SIS, S,000, ,0O0 greater in the latter than in the former year, though the imports are still far in excess of the exports. The figures for 1900 were, roughly, i'm ports $60, ,O00,0 ,000 and exports only $6,56O,- COG. Since 1879 the number of letters delivered in Ireland has practically dou- bled, while the number of telegraph

The Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce says of the campaign work: More is being done beneath the surface than before the public. Both sides are busily at work on their campaign books, which will ap- pear within very short time. Both are sending out large quantities of lit- erature. The Democrats have adopted the plan of sending their literature only to candidates who disseminate it for themselves. It is thought that each candidate will know best exactly what is wanted in his own particular district.
 Senator Hoar's Philippine speech is one of the documents most eagerly in de- lnand.

On Warren's island, off the coast of Maine, is being erected what is properly described as "a palatial log cabin" It is composed of spruce logs, and costs the tidy little sum of s75,OG0. The en- tire island on which this summer palace is erected was purchased by the late William H. Folwell, of Philadelphia. MT. Folwell died before the completion of the house. The work is now super intended by his son, William H. Fol- $ well, Jr. Some idea of the size of the "cabin" may be gained from considera- tion of the fact that there are twenty two sleeping rooms on the second floor On the ground floor there is a fireplace of brick and granite, the mantelpiece being of marble, twelve feet in length three in width and nine inches thick the whole piece of work weighing some forty tons.

James Cahili, of Virginia, is perhaps the only man in the United States who has in regular use upon his farm an elephant, which is used for farm work. With the swaying beast hitched up to plough he can turn more ground than any of his neighbors with team of horses, and when it comes to hauling logs the elephant will walk away with ease with logs which the best teams of his neighbors cannot move. The ele- phant eats little more than horse. and does many times the work of one, is gentle and docile and little trouble and Mr. Cahill is more than pleased with his experiment. MT. Cahill bought = the elephant from a stranded circus proprietor.

WEAPONS OF THE CHINESE.
How Their Arms Were Evolved-Method
of Designating Rank.

The prominent part played by China
in the worlds affairs during the past
seven years has aroused the interest of
collectors who have brought to this coun-
try many specimens Of wares and goods
peculiar to that part of the far East.
None among these are Of greater his
torical value than the weapons which are
III use III all provinces OF the empire, even
IN the district where the imperial armies
are equipped with European firearms.
One Of the best collections was shown III
this city not long ago, and is now in the
possession of the commercial museum ut
Philadelphia. Single specimens Of value
are to be found in the Chinese club
rooms in Chinatown, and in many of the
brlc-a-brac stores scattered throughout
the city.
a careful study of the weapon shows
that most of them are naught but indus
trial appliances suddenly employed for
purposes Of oifense. One smear is q,
pitchfork and another a trident similar
to the eel spear employed by our fisher
men. Another CHASTITY weapon when ex-
allned carefully proves to be a scythe
blade fastened to the end of 4 strong
pole: The halberds, or hatchcts, axe
heads, AIDES and cleavers wired or tied
with thongs to stout slaves. Even the
spears and lances show III agricultural
or domestic rather than military origin
These weapons may be viewed as his
torical souvenirs which are preserved as
testimonials of the bravery of the Man
Gnu conquerors. The Tartars take great
Pride in their conquest of the middle
kingdom. Before they came from the
north they were savages in comparison
with the civilized Chinese. They preserve
this fact in their laws and customs. The
cum of every of1icials coat is made i'll the
form of horses hoof to indicate that
the Manchurian armies were cavalry,
not infantry. The official footwear is a
cavalry boot, which, though made Of
satin with kid-covered soles, is in cut and
general appearance the same as the
heavy leather articles worn by their an
cestral troopers 800 years ago. When
they conquered China they experienced
the strongest resistance from the farmers
and fishermen, who armed themselves
with whatever came to hand and at
tackled the invaders with fierce intrepid
ity.
In honor of these victories they re-
tanned the primitive weapons of their
captives and used them as trophies Of
their battles. Each Manchu officer EN-
ployed a lot Of Chinese captiyes and
armed them with their own spears, tri-
dents and axes as the case might be.
The practice has been kept up ever since.
When a mandarin goes calling he has one
or more guards in his retinue who are
armed with these simple contrivances.
nearly all the temples there are weapons
which belong to the god of the temple,
and these are usually Of the same agri-
cultural character as those employed by
the guards Of civil and military officials.

Young Milwaukeean Who Has Won Fame

Full of enthusiasm, and in a naive and
delightful state of satisfaction with the
world and his art, Edward J. Steichen
returned to Milwaukee recently for a
brief sojourn before he opened his studio
in New York.
Young Steichen, who was the first to
raise photography to an artistic plane,
sufficiently elevated to receive place in
the Paris salon, talked interestingly and
enthusiastically about his work.
