TO HARNESS OHIO FALLS.
Gigantic Plant to surpnss That at
 Niagara In Power.


 The tremendous power of the Ohio falls, always heretofore q menace and destroyer, seems at last about to be directed to the use of man. The pos sibility is one of much importance to the surrounding country, including In- diamapolis, Cincinnati and Evansville.
 The plan approved by Major George McC. Derby. the United States engi- neer at Louisville, and by engineers and capitalists provides for the lar gest single plant in the country, not excepting that of Niagara Falls, where there Is one of 10000 horsepower. It is estimated that 100000 can be gen erated at Louisville.
 The falls of the Ohio are more of a series of rapids than fall like the one at Niagara. There is drop of ap- proXimately twenty-six feet, and the falls and rapids are about three miles in length. With the exception of cer- tain points, where the whirling waters and jagged rocks tell of the cruel strength, there is little that appears formidable or promising of power. But the force is there.
 The government has spent millions of dollars in building a canal around the falls and maintains here the only life saving station in inland waters.
 The chief problem that presented It. self to the engineers arose from the fact that the stage of the water on the falls varies. In dry seasons 1t has been possible to cross on foot from the Ken lucky to the Indiana shore. In high water the falls are as placid as a mill pond. These difficulties, it Is said, can be surmounted, though they make nee essary the expenditure of vast sum of money, $10,000,000 or more. If the power plant Is built provision will be made for any emergency, so that n sud den cessation from natural causes need never be feared.
 The project embraces the building of mile and half of concrete wall along the Indiana shoot, the building of cross dam just below Goose is- land and the establishment of huge power house on the Indiana side of the extremity of the race or dam. The existing mill race will be widened and extended to the whirlpool eddy. The terrific power which will thereby be made available will be directed to prac- tical use by means of the turbine wheel and the dynamo. The equipment in the power house will be the same as is now employed in the utilization of the power of Niagara.
 Three years at least will be required for the enterprise.

old Time Grave Robbers.

Under the laws of Draco, the most severe code ever drawn up, all grave robbers were put to death without trial. The old Athenian laws put a slave to death for disturbing body after interment, but in the case of a freeman "confiscation of d moiety Constantine decreed that n woman might obtain n divorce if she could prove that her husband had disturbed the remains of the dead. At one time Qn the time of the seventh and eighth Henrys) the English law held that it is deemed unlawful to open a grave for q second person, except for hus- band or wife"

Dangerous Information.

Eliza is an old retainer in certain Philadelphia family, for whom she has labored many years. The children of the family have grown to regard her with mingled awe and fear, all but Tom, the youngest, who is now eight years old. In spite of her dominant sway, says the Philadelphia Record, Eliza is very unsOphisticated.
 She was mortified to learn that Tom wealth, for she had been putting away her savings for years and had about $600 in the savings fund.
 Tom and some of his small cronies wanted q nickel to spend for candy, but all the mothers were out.
 "Tll tell you what we'll do," said Tom. "I'll borrow cents from our Eliza. She's got lots of money"
 "Aw," exclaimed the inevitable pessi- mist, ''she ain't got any moneyr'
 ''She has" replied Tom. She's got lot of money in q bank downtown next to Williams candy shop"
 Eliza charced to hear this remark, and she rushed out into the yard, sent the other boys home, clutched Tom by the collar and started to read him a lecture on the value of prudence.
 Never tell that aSain!'' she said ear nestly. Suppose burglar had been round and heard you say that? Where would be? Why, if he knew all that money was there he'd go right to the bank, break fin and steal itr'

CENTRIFUGAL CREAM SEPARATOR.

CENTRIFUGAL CREAM SEPARATOR,
 small receptacle for the cream, which Is tapped out into an outer chamber and thence led off to any desired recep- tacle through the outlet pipe shown, The top of the rotary cylinder is closed by bowl shaped receptacle, On the outer surface of this cylinder spiral groove is cut. Similarly, but in reverse direction, groove is cut on the inner surface of the stationary cylinder. Milk Is fed from q tank at the right into q trough above the separator cylinders, whence 1t is led through pipes to the space between the two cylinders near the bottom. The inner cylinder Is TO- tated by crank through train of step up gearing.
 The effect of this rapid rotation Is to drive the cream by centrifugal action up the outer, or stationary, groove to the cream receptacle at the top, while the skinned milk moves up the groove on the rotating cylinder and falls into the bowl shaped receptacle. Two or more radial fianges in the bowl keep the liquid in motion and assist in fore Ing the cream up the dome. The skim med milk passes out of the bowl through small perforations therein and is tap ped out through pipe at the bottom of the separator.
 The driving mechanism is inclosed in box, the lower part of which serves as reservoir for oil. Into this one of the wheels dips and distributes the lubricant to the rest of the driving mechanism. The operating crank is connected with the train of gearing through a clutch consisting of ratchet wheel and pawl, so that upon stopping the rotation of the crank the separator may continue to operate under its own momentum.

TUiIownis lis "DIessed exampie. lie freely for us, has the right to expect fortitude from us. From none of us does he ask such service as he himself rendered to us. When the army of Alexander the Great was sealing a noted mountain pass the strength of the soldiers became exhausted. Many threw themselves upon the ground to die. The great commander. saw the condition. He did not curse or up braid. He quietly dismounted from his war charger. He threw aside his heavy cloak. He lifted q private sol diers pickaX, then vigorously went to work digging away at the ice. His soldiers saw him. They knew he was as tired as they. Then they jumped to their feet. By the power of brave example they arose and went again to work, and again won a new victory. Christian soldiers, wherever we go, we can find our Divine Leader ahead. Our backs may ache, but he is carrying our burden of sin. Our feet may grow tired, but from his feet and hands and head and heart are flowing streams of blood. In olden times a soldier was said to have gathered an armful of pointing spears and pressed them into his own breast, that over his prostrate body his comrades might find breach in the enemy's ranks and charge to vic tory. So over Christ's body we may win eternal life. And here and now upon the foundation stones of Christ's mausoleum may we build the great white temple of Christian soldiers sacrifice"

A NEW CREAM SEPARATOR.
Novel Ideas Embodied In an Improved

An improved cream separator of the centrifugal type forms the subject of a patent recently granted. The invention, described by the Scientific American, embodies some novel ideas, which are very ingenious and interesting. The separator proper has been broken away in our illustration to show the interior details, which comprise q stationary cylinder within which an inner cylinder is mounted to rotate.
 The stationary cylinder is formed with dome shaped top, opening into a

The Size of ManchurIa.

Manchuria corresponds in latitude to Manitoba, North Dakota, South Duko- ta, Minnesota and Nebraska. Its area of 362,310 square miles is only 10000 square miles less than the combined area of these great grain states. It is two and one-half times greater than California and is as big as Texas, Ala bama and Louisiana combined. In the northern part of the province are thou sands of square miles of rich wheat land entirely untouched. ManchurIa has possible wheat area as great as that of the United States.-National Geographic Magazine.
