and effectually, by any one who Will
follow a simple plan recently described
In the Rochester Herald.
A man put up for the night at the
leading hotel in a small town, and be-
fore retiring left instructions to be
called In time for an early train. In
the morning he was disturbed at an
early hour by laundering tattoo upon
his door.
"Well?" he demanded. sleepily, and
not very pleasantly.
1--WE got an important message for
you" replied youthful voice from the
corridor.
The man was up In an instant; he
opened the door and received from the
bell boy a large envelope. He opened
It hastily. Inside, on a small slip OF
paper, was written in large letters
'This is the time you wanted to gel

The lesson of the use Of Niagara
Falls for generating electricity has
been put to worldwide application,
says the New York World. Through
out the world falling water, according
to a paper read before the British AS

to mans use an energy equal to 1885,
800 horse power, Of which Great Brit
ain figures for only 11,006 horse power.
The British Aluminium Company
gets 1000 horse power from the falls
Of Foyers and it expects presently to
procure 1900 horse power from Loeb
Leven. The North Wales Electric
Power Company is about to tap Lake
Llydaw, on Snowdon, and hopes to OBJ
