correspondent OF Electricity commends
the energy shown by the local officials OF the
Niagara Falls Power Company after the recent
interruption of their service by fire. Two
embarrassments arose. The cables which con-
veyed current from the dynamos 10 the
transformers were ruined, and the transform
ers themselves were wetted by the hremen
so as to interfere with their efficiency. Fortu-
nately, a good supply Of extra cable was on
hand and inside of twelve hours new connec-
tions for at least four big generators were
established. While the transformers are drying
out it will not be possible to supply all Gus
toners with the old amount Of electricity, but
steady progress is being made in that direction.
The Niagara enterprise was pioneer work "r
its kind. and has taught the whole engineering
world lesson in long distance Transmission OF
power. It now furnishes wholesome example
of good management in emergencies.

Twilight and moonlight were blend
ing softly when Beverley, ON his way
back to the fort, departing from di-
rect course, went along the rivers side
southwark to have few moments of
reflective strolling within reach Of the
waters pleasant murmur and the
towns indefinite evening stir. Rich
sweetness, the gift of early autumn,
was on the ar blowing softly out Of
lilac west and singing in the willow
fringe that hung here and there over
the bank.
On the farther side Of the rivers wide
flow, swollen by recent heavy rains,
Beverley saw pirogue, in one end OF
which a dark figure swayed to the
strokes of a paddle. The slender and
shallow little craft was bobbing on the
choppy waves and taking a zigzag
course among floating logs and masses
Of lighter d1iftwood while making slow
but certain Roadway toward the hither
bank.
Beverley took bit Of punk and a
flint and steel from his pocket, relit his
pipe and stood watching the skillful
boatman conduct his somewhat dam
gerous voyage diagonally against the
rolling current. 1t was shifting, hide
and seek scene, Its features appearing
and disappearing with the action Of tho
waves and the doubtful light reflected
from fading clouds and sky. Now and
again the man stood up In his skittish
pirogue, balancing himself with care, to
use short pole in showing driftwood
out OF his way, and more than once he
looked tc Beverley as if he had plunged
headlong into the dark water.
Beverley stood at ease, idly and half
dreamily looking on, when suddenly
something caused catastrophe, which
for moment he did not comprehend.
In fact, the man in the pirogue came
to grief, as a man in pirogue Is very
apt to do, and fairly somersaulted over

LOCKER ON in IOWA

trate how farming does not pay in
Iowa. 1t seems that two years ago Il
young man bought farm of 100 acres
near town, paying or rather agreeing
to pay $500 for the same. The pay
ment of cash was $1,000 and'the balance
was secured by a mortgage drawing s
per cent interest. He failed to pay his
interest last year and this year is still
worse off, consequently the mortgage
has been foreclosed and 'he will lose

of what the Looker-On hears in
many places. and it is Supposed to ex
cite the sympathy of ali who hear the
story. 1t is here given for the purpose
of asking. Does any one know of
similar transaction in town in any kind
OF business or speculation where the
investor wins out? ~

When Beverley heard the strangling
cry for help he pulled himself promptly
together, flung off his coat, as if by a
single motion, and leaped down the
! bank into the water. He was a swim
/ mer whose strokes counted for all that

Less than half hour later rum0r

town that Father Beret and Lieuten-
ant Beverley were drowned in the Wa

verify the terrible news it turned out
to be untrue Gaspard Roussillon had
once more distinguished himself by an
exhibition of heroic nerve and muscle.
