horse power from turbine wheels in
the United States has naturally inlu-
enced Il corresponding development in
Canada. 1t is directly due to such de-
velopment in the States that Canada
will soon possess electric generators
Of 10000 horse power, or twice as large
as the biggest dynamos in the world.
The past decade will be notable for the
remarkable changes III methods Of cur
rent generation and the concentration
OF industries around, motor power per-
hitting the transmission Of electric
power over distances formerly deemed
impossible.
Those who visited the Buffalo expo
sition in 1900 and saw the brilliant
electrical displays would be surprised
at the changes wrought in THAT vicinity
since that time. owing to the power

by Lake Ontario. Herein is the raison
d'etre of the beginning of great pow

ara Falls or Clifton, namely, the
growth of industries, buildings and
populations along the American shore
of Niagara River. The development of
electric power at Niagara will ulti-

American power houses catch up with
the demand, if ever Power, plant, and
construction in dangerous localities IS
a slow proposition. The electric gen
orators or great dynamos are located
at the surface at the top end of shafts,
$50 feet long, set vertically in turbine
wheels, which revolve them. AS the
water rushes out of the wheels it Is
made to turn upward and uphold the
entire weight of turbine, shaft, and
dynamo, of 100000 pounds, which
would otherwise test the strength g

passes from the turbine wheels

huge transformers in a special station,
where it is raised to $4,000 volts Of
which 200 volts operate the indus

livered to low pressure transformer

School Essay on Ducks.

A schoolboy in Jewel City, Kan,
was assigned to prepare an essay on
the subject Of Ducks" and this Is
what he wrote: ''The duck is a low,
heavy-set girl composed mostly Of
meat and feathers He is mighty
poor singer, having a hoarse voice
caused by getting too many frogs in
his neck. He likes the water and car
ries a toy balloon in his stomach to
keep him from sinking. The duck has
only two legs and they are set so far
back on his running gears by nature
that she came purity near missing his
body. Some ducks when they get big
have curls on their tails aud are called
brakes. brakes don't have 10 set or
hatch, but just loaf, go swimming and
eat. II | was a duck I'd rather be a

Everything in China of any rarity
whatever is quite certain to be drag
ged into the pharmacopoeia of the Chi
nese physician. Jade is no exception
to the rule. 1t may be swallowed as
a powder or in little pieces the size
of hemp seed for various stomachic
complaints. Even pockmarks and
scars may be obliterated By being
daily rubbed with piece Of pure jade
1t is also considered to be Of very
moist nature. and we read of an inn
perial favorite OF the eighth century
who was cured of excessive thirst by
holding a fish-Shaped jade in her
mouth. And so. when the tomb OF
the great commander TsaO Ts'aO,
third century A D., was opened, 200
years after his death, among the usual
objects found in such circumstances
was a large silver bowl full of water.
That the water had not dried up was
accounted for by the presence IN the
bowl of jade boy three feet in height.
Jade is chiefly brought from the
K'In-lun or Koulkun range, between
the desert of Cobb and Thibet; from
Khoten Or Ilchi, in Yarkland, and
from Lan-t'ien, ON the Belurtagh
mountains. still further to the west.
This Lan-t'ien has been confused by
Chinese writer's with another Ian
t'ien in the province of Shen-Se, near
the city Of Hsian whittier the Chinese
court fed the city in August, 1900,
upon the relief Of Pekin. In the tenth
century, A. D., the latter was actually
known as the Jade Hills district,

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM

The recent woes of Hannah Elias
have served to advertise well and gra-
tuitously brand of whisky A Han
nah Elias highbalP' is made with this
liquor as its chief ingredient and the
order, Give me a Hannah Elias high
ball." always starts the inquiry as to
what that drink may be.
1t is the answer to this popular Ques-
ton that is serving a such a splendid
advertisement nowadays for this brand
of liquor. =
The summer Sundays always show
the usual groups of visitors from out
of town looking disconsolately at the
outside of churches and wondering
whether they have found the place of
worship they are seeking. 1t is easy
enough for them to find the name and
address of the sexton, and to learn also
that he is an undertaken at a certain
address. But the name of the church
and the rector are matters not so easily
ascertained. Strangers are compelled
to enter an ordinary New York church
to learn it's name. The exterior rarely
reveals it. In other cities the names of
the churches are put where they NAV
be seen. In New York the sexton
alone receives all this attention.
A manicure who numbers MANY Of
the city's wealthiest persons among
her patrons has ceased work for the
summer with feeling of security for
the future that few of her kind NAV
enjoy. She was fortunate enough to
attract the special attention of one Of
her customers, who Sympathized with
her troubles and determined to do what
was in her power to relieve them. To
raise for the young woman a fund that
would put her permanently bevond the
danger of poverty seemed the best plan
for her benevolence, and she decided to
get 500 from 100 persons who could
afford to give it. Collecting the money
occupied the entire winter and took the
constant attention of the benevolent
woman who had thought Of the plan.
But the full amount was finally raised

Pompadour silks, chiffons, nets and
muslins are being very extensively used
this summer for dinner and evening
gowns. They are generally made over
colored underslips and are fashioned
after most picturesque models.
The dinner gown illustrated is a
charming example of this style. 1t is
of pompadour net with a creamy col
ored background and with bright yell
low predominating in the flowers, and
1t is worn over a canary yellow taffeta
foundation and has pointed girdle of
the same. The skirt is cut in nine full
cores and is shirred over the cords at
the top to the depth of hip yoke and
is trimmed at the bottom by a deep
fiounce of cream colored net top lace.
The bodice blouses over the wide girdle
and has short big puffed sleeves fin
ished by double Louis XIV ruffies of the
net top lace, and the same lace is used
to form the pointed bertha around the

Hints From HadIey

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, June 29.-Meet-
ings of alumni and the dedication of a
memorial to Horace Tracy Pitkin, Yale
missionary who was killed by the Boxers
in China in 1900, were the main events
on the Yale commencement programme
yesterday. The general meeting of the
alumni was also held.
President Hadley presented his annual
report. 1t said the year just closing had
been an exceptionally prosperous one, and
that the financial condition of the uni
versity is good. The gifts and bequests
exceeded $500, 000 President Hadley
pointed out that while the total receipts
year by year are, as a rule, sufficient to
meet the total expenses, the provision for
the expenses and administration of the
university as whole, as distinct from
its various branches, is not adequate. The
departments have their income from in
vestments and their income from tuition
fees; the university has no tuition fees
and has to rely on investments.
He spoke Of an increase in the tuition
fees as a means of increasing the in
come and said that if one looks at the
value of the instruction given one would
find no difficulty in justifying an increase
in tuition, which would enable the uni
versity to meet all deficiencies without in
fringing on the income of the departments.
This increase, too would allow larger sal
aries for certain professors In recogni-
ton of their work.
President Hadley did not believe in
creased tuition would involve any consid-
cradle loss in the number of pupils
But whether an increase of charge
would have an effect in changing the
quality of the student body is a more i'm
portant point" he said.
He added that every effort is being
made by the authorities to ascertain just
how it is possible to raise the tuition
charges to meet actual expenses without
adversely affecting the quality of the stu
dent body. He advocated system giving
graduates large share in the manage
ment of the university. The alumni now
elect third cf the corporation but
he believed this was not sufficient and
