Economy in Thrcshinn,

The fact that there is more grain put
INTO the straw stack than there should
be, IS something that merits the earn
est attention of the up-to-datc farmer.
IS IT not possible to save the wastage
OF grain and time which attends the
use or old-style machinery? This is
something that should command the
careful consideration of every farmer.

tentlon to the ad. of Nichols & Shepard
Company, Battle Creek, Mich, found

1t would seem that the time has
come when this great channel of vast

ORIGIN OF NAMES
Scarcity of Small Change Recalls
Methods Of Early Italians and
Roman Customs.

There has been a scarcity of small
change Of late" said c. M. Binghamton.
kor 40 years with the United States treas
ury department, to a Louisville Herald
man recently. "All sorts OF reasons are
assigned to explain this condition, but.
whatever the cause. it is vexatious
However. it is moi as bad now in the way
OF exchanges as it was In the olden
times.
THE early Italians used cattle in
stead OF coin. Aperaon would sometimes
send for change for a thousand-pound
bullock. when he would receive a %
pound sheep, or, perhaps, If he wanted
very small change. there would be a few
lambs sent back. The Inconvenience
Of keeping a flock of sheep at one S bank
er's led to the introduction of bullion.
People often Wonder where certain
monetary names came from. I'll tell
you a few of them.
formerly every gold watch weighed
SO many ~'carats.' from which it became
usual to call a silver watch a 'turnip.'
Troy weight is derived from the ex-
tremely heavy responsibility which the
Trojans were under to their creditors.
THE Romans were in the habit of
tossing up their coins in the presence of
their legions. and If a piece of money
went higher than the top of the ensign's
flag 1t was pronounced to be above the

BACK or NIAGARA FALLS.
Remarkable Sight to Be Seen from
the Tunnel Uneer the Great
Horseshoe.

Three coEspaLies are working
hard on the Canadian side of the Nj
tgara 10 prepare for generating ele;-
SricaR power from the tails. Two OF
these companies are controlled by
American capital, and the third exclu-
sively by Canadian and English cap
ital. All expect TO sell their product
on the Canadian side, and to distribute
power to points as much as 200 miles
distant from the falls. says the New
York Sun.
Each company has encountered some
interesting engineering problems in
the course of the work. One company,
for example. has had to plan for a roof
of unusual strength over its power
house, because ii is expected that the
spray from the falls in winter will
thatch the roof with five feet of solid
Zee.
No part of the work is nor inter-
esting than that undertaken by the
Canadian company. The penstock, or
great trench. of this company, at the
bottom of which will be placed the
turbines that are to generate the pow
er. is 1900 feet from the center of tho
Horseshoe falls.
The great trench Is to be $50 feet
deep by 400 feet long. and 30 feet wide.
The problem presented was to dis
charge the water from the bottom of
this trench, after it had passed through
the turbines and done its work.
The engineers decided that in order
to accomplish this a tunnel should be
extended from the bottom Of the pen
stock to the center of the Horseshoe
falls. For this purpose a shaft about
ten feet square was sunk on the Cana
dian side a little above the falls to q
depth of about $50 feet.
From the bottom of this shaft was
dug a tunnel to a point q few hundred
feet above the center of the falls to
meet the line of the 1,900-foot tunnel
that Is to run directly from the bottom
of the penstock to the center of the
falls. When this line WIS struck the
workmen began tunneling directly to-
ward the p%enstoclz.
In order TO make the removal of the
debris easy there was dug from Nthe
tunnel leading from the ten-foot shaft
a short tunnel to a point beneath the
falls and pretty close to the Canadian
side. One may 0 stand at the mouth
of this tunnel within a few feet of the
whole mass of Niagara's vast down
pour. and looking through the roaring
sheet see the dim. transfused light Of

LEAD N IN VIVA
Originally Discovered by the Romans
and Are Still Full Of
the Ore.


Attempts are now being made to form
a syndicate to resume the working of the
aTSentiferous lead mines Of the Com
pania de Minas de Iviza. For centuries
these mihes have been known to exist in
the little island of Viva, one of the Bal
earle group According to the mining
engineers who have carefully examined
the locality, the ore is to be found In
abundant quantities. and the prospects
are very favorable for any new undertake
ing with capital and modern machinery.
The mines were originally discovered by
the Romans, who extracted large guam
titles of mineral from them. 1t is said
that a small company obtained a con-
cession to work the mines, and that it
was able to make a profit of 81, 900, 600
by the sale Of the ore found at the mouth
of the mine, left there by the first ex-
plorers. Recently the mine became
flooded, owing to the borings having
opened a spring at an elevation of 100
feet above the sea level, and am told
that work has been suspended in conse-
quence ever since. The new company
will have to pump the water out, and,
by tunneling, to arrange for an outlet
for the spring, a matter offering no diff
iculty to modern appliances.
