"WHlTE COAL" OF FRANCE.
Glacial Streams of the Alpine Region
Put to Work,

Glacial Streams of the Alpine Region
Put to Work.
There has been quite n great deal of
activity in the past few years in the
development of the glacial streams of
Alpine France, says the Philadelphia
Record. and the torrents which until
recently flowed aimlessly through that
country have in many cases been put
to useful labor and the engineers have
designs on Il number of others. one
of the chief spirits in this movement
to utilize the mountain streams is NJ
Herges, a well-known engineer. and he
has estimated the hydraulic forces of
France at 100000 horse power. This
is more than sufficient to drive all the
industries of the country According
to his figures the 25,000 miles Of rail-
roads in France make use of 4,000O00
horse power and the other Industries of
the country require 100000, making
Il total of 6,500,000 horse power
In most cases the method of maiing
Use of the water has been to divert it
and conduct it to Il point where it can
economically be availed of. Large pipes
of metal bring the water from vast
heights. A section of one of these
great conduits is a few inches less
than eleven feet in diameter, or about
the same size as the tunnel under the
Thames at London, but the latter is
less than 100 feet in length. while those
in the mountains of France are in some
instances of great length. The one
spoken of. which is laid near Grenoble,
which is the "white-coal capital" is
over $1,000 feet long. A little over
5000 feet of this is of steel and the
rest is of wired cement.
At Lancey, few miles northeast Of
Grenoble, the water which gives pow
er to mills of various kinds and to the
electrical pant which lights the valley
of the Graisiyairdan and maintains
its several tramway systems is brought
by three successive falls, whose total
is G,560 feet.
Light is furnished to the houses and
farms of the vicinity at a very moder-
ate cost. For example:
Per year.
First lamp, ten candlepower. .S4S2la
Second lamp, ten candlepower. 2.S932
Three lamps. five candlepower

An average of SIP per lamp per

In 1863 it was deemed a bold
achiel ement to bring water from a
height of 2GO feet, as at Uriage; but
now NJ. Berges has succeeded in canal
izing fall of 1.G40 feet and another

Profit in summer Feeding.

The greatest profit is usually deriy-
ed from the live stock during the sum-

higher market prices. but TO the adj
vantages afforded by the spring and
summer conditions. and to the cheap
food that may be had in the form of
pasture. Clover. rape and blue grass,
with grain food, will so cheaper the

Just how long eggs may safely be
kept before setting is not known Care
full experiments along this line are
needed. Last spring eggs kept five
weeks seemed to hatch as well as those
which were fresh laid. How much
longer they would have kept is uncer-
tain. Probably five or six weeks is
close to the limit. These eggs were
kept in n cool roof in March and April
and were not turned. The daily turn
ing often advised and for which patc1t
racks and eases have been devised is
not strictly necessary But old eggs
and fresh eggs should not be mixed in
the same setting, as the term Of hatch
ing will he uneven. The length and
manner Of keeping eggs for Matching

March eggs are fertile there is no
reason why they should not be saved
