General Miles is in training all right.
When he says the pending army bill
will throw the doors wide open for a
future autocrat or military despot" it
sounds enough like that anti-imperial-
istic bugaboo of the last campaign to
deserve the suspicion of having emanated
from Mr.. Bryan, himself. Evidently
that assertion that the general has a
well ll-developed case of presidential bee
buzzing in his bonnet was not altogether
a chance guess.

would ALLEVIATE voters. Those who have

hobby of democracy ever since Mr..

cities, and Chicago fifth. Berlin then

heating the buildings gives about 253
watt-hours per cubic metre of apart
ments, and is assumed to be correct.
The results obtained at the restaurant
during the exposition of 1900 show that
an expenditure Of about $50 watt
hours per meal was sufficient. The
conditions existing at Davos are less
eXacting than were those at the ex-
position. 1t is thought that an allow
ance of 1850 watt-hours per day per
person would not be far from the
truth. Assuming this figure, the total
as given above will he reduced to 22S,-
600 rse-poWer-hours, and a plant of
$500 horsepower should be sufficient.
This power can be obtained from two
streams-the Landwasser and the
Albula, situated at about twenty Eilo-
meters from DaVos, and having a fall
of 1874 meters. The central station
will contain five sets of 5000 horse
coupled directly to two thTee-phase
alternatOrs of 1900 horsepower each
The alternatOrs generate a potential
of 5000 volts, and two being coupled
in series give a pressure of 5000
volts, which is sent out over the line
The annual expense of this service, in
Guiding interest, depreciation and cost
of operation, is estimated at S29,52S
francs. The consumption of energy
for the year will be 25,OO0,OO0 llilo-
watt-hours, so that the price per llilo-
watt-hour will be 3.3 confines. This
cost is not regarded as excessive for
heating, while the advantages of it's
use for cooking, and the avoidance Of
all smoke, are more than sufficient to
warrant the rtaling-L' Elec-

REST IN THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
How Gladstone Avoided the Usual
Nervous Breakdown.

nervous BREAKDOWN.
There are men, and plenty of them,
who start the business of the day, or
thinking about the business of the day,
almost as soon as they are out of bed,
| and keep it up with scarcely an inter-
val until they turn in at night. The
business kilograms and letters brought
! TO the bedroom in the morning and the
continuation of mental labor and
worry into the small hours OF the next
morning, until sheer inability to go on
compels a reluctant halt for sleep. are
eVll modern phenomena that occur too
often. And the hurried midday lunch
IS not worse for the digestion than it
Is Tor the mind, which is thus cheated
OF its due pause for rest.
This is certainly not the way to get
most work done in the long run. re-
marks the London Express. The men
who have put most work into their
lives and been able to keep on longest
at it have been men like Mr. Gladstone,
who knew the full value of absolutely
banishing work from their minds for
some time every day. In the height
of political excitement Mr.. Gladstone
could always contrive to shut out
politics and official business for an
hour or two while he read Greek or a
novel.
One man may seek his relaxation
with a tennis racket or a bicycle. an
other with a book. another in talk (not
about business); but complete relaxa-
ton in some form every man should
have every day. And an entire and
absolute holiday, long enough to count,
is no less indispensable every year.
The meaning of rest" varies with the
individual; to one it is rest to climb
alps or cycle fifty miles day, to an
other to lie under a tree or on the
beach. But in some form the rest is
inevitable, unless the breakdown is to
come, The hours from which bust
ness is entirely excluded every day,
the weeks from which it is entirely ex-
cluded every year, must never be neg
lected by the man who means to last.
