Glacial Streams as Power.

AS yet the great glacial streams OF the
world have been little used as a source
of motive power, but in Switzerland and
southern France they are beginning to
utilize these unfailing sources of water
power. The melted water from the gla
ciers is diverted into pipes, and our con-
sui at Grenoble says that under this
system power is transmitted over long
distances into several thriving communi-
ties of France that We're formerly idle
The hydraulic engineers of France say
that the water power in her mountain
Gus districts can produce electrical en-
ergy equal to 100000 horse power. The
enormous energy that is running to
waste all over the world will some day
be utilized.

MOTHER KILLED HER CHILDREN
Then Cut Her Own Throat and Set
Fire to the House-Horrible Affair
Took Place in Fiskdale, Mass.

A tragedy which recalls the Nara
more murder in Colbrook, another little
town of Worcester county, Mass, took
place at Fiskdale Monday, when Mrs.
Louise Burke, "a, wife of Peter Burke
a machinist, killed her four children with
an AK and then cut her own throat and
set fire to the house. The children were
girls of six, one and one half years and
five months, and a boy of five years.
The fire was discovered when smoke
burst through the windows. The flames
were put out before the house was badly
damaged All of the bodies were in a
closet, and those of three children and
Mrs. Burke were badly burned. After
killing the children Mrs. Burke evident
ly poured kerosene over herself and ar
ticles in the closet, started the fire and
cut her own throat. Mrs. Burke's home
life is said to have been happy, but for
some time she had shown signs of men
tai trouble but had never given cause
for fear of violence. MIR Burke went
from the Smell Manufacturing company $
plant to the scene of the fire, and when
the bodies We're taken out he became UNI
conscious.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
INCREASED WAGES AND SHORT.
Err HOURS.
Board of Arbitration On the Coal
Strike Makes Report Highly Ben
efcial to the Miners.

The report of the anthracite coal strike
commission was made public at Wash
ington Saturday. 1t provides, in gen.
eral for an increase of ten per cent. in
the rate of wages of contract miners
and for a reduction in the hours per day
of the other mine workers. Water hoist
ing engineers are to work hereafter, in
eight hour shifts, with ten per cent In
crease. where they have been working
heretofore in such shifts. Other engi-
neers and pumpmen are to have a five
per cent. increase. F'iremen are to have
eight-hour shifts without increase. 9th
er mineworkers are to be paid the same
wages, on a basis of a nine-hour day,
that they have been receiving for a ten
hour day.
A board of Cancellation is provided for
the settlement of disputes arising out of
the Interpretation or application of the
commissions awards, to consist of three
members selected by the operators, three
by the miners and an umpire in case of
a tie. to be appointed by one of the cir
cult judges of the third judicial district
of the United States. No strikes or lock-
outs shall take place pending the adju-
dication of this board.
The commission declines to recognize
the United mine workers of America as
such, by compelling the operators to en-
ter into a contract with that organiza-
ton, but modfies this in manner above
stated by providing that the miners or
ganization shall have hand in the ma
chinery, whereby the findings of the
commission shall be put into effect.
The demand of the miners, that coal be
paid for by weight, was refused. 1t is
provided, however, that check weight
men be employed when requested by a
majority of contract miners of any col
liery, their wages to be paid by the
miners.
A sliding scale of wages is provided
whereby the miners may increase their
earnings according to the market price
of coal, the rates awarded by the COM
mission being in all cases minimum
There shall be no discrimination against
any workman because of his membership
or non membership in labor organiza-
tons nor shall there be any interference
by union with non union men.
The awards made shall continue II
force until March 81, 1906.
The entire report comprises eighty.
seven printed pages or about $1,000
words. Particular stress is laid by the
members upon the fact that the findings
are unanimous.

Niagara Falls Dry.

The following despatch was sent from
Niagara Falls Monday: The American
Falls are practically dry and for the
first time in 50 years people are able to
walk about in the river bed Thousands
have clambered over the rocks hunting
for relics and souvenirs. Great rocks
never before seen are high and dry. So
little water is flowing over the American
falls that men in high boots almost
could have crossed at the brink. This
extraordinary condition is due to the ice
jam which formed in shallow places up
the river. The ice was driven from
Lake Erie into the entrance to Niagara
and lodged in shoal water shutting off
the flow into the American channel.
Horseshoe falls are not affected as much
as the American. The river bed in the
vicinity of the Three Sisters islands is
quite dry, and the Centre fall, between
Goat and Luna Islands, is the skeleton
of itself. This condition is likely to
exist several days.
