Ocean as Motive Power

A writer in the Paris Revue des
Deux Mondes, M. CASTOR Cadoux, has
drawn a fancy picture of that happy
time when London, Paris and Berlin
will be lighted and warmed by electric
energy derived from the sea. In those
economic days, sea mills will skirt the
shore; they will convert the rise and
fall of the tides into electricity, which
wires will conduct to the capital cit
les to do work, to illuminate and to
warm. No more miners, we may sup
pose, pursuing their dangerous voca-
tons under ground, and 10 more gas
lights polluting the air we breathe,
and smoke laden London fogs will
have ceased forever. AS the moon
does in single tide, on but a short
stretch of coast line, more work than
all our steam engines, here is linn
itless supply Of energy. The idea is
charming, rot the least delightful part
of it being the satisfaction OF yoking
the old satellite to our machinery and
making her run our trains and drive
our factories! Hitherto the least
available natural source Of electricity
has been the sea.

Whether the report of the discovery
of the Incas' treasure at Chayaltaya,
Bolivia, is true or not, 1t Is certain
that the conqdistadores did not get
all the gold of the last Inca of Peru.
nor all the gold and precious jewels
of the Mexican monarch. The story
is that the Incas' treasure, withheld
from Pizarro and now discovered in
Bolivia, is worth $16,000,000, and that
the Indians believe there Is still much
more hidden away. Pizarro received
a great sum from the Inca whom he
SO cruelty treated and then killed, but
In so doing he missed greater
amount. which the Inca. hoping to
save his life, promised his tormentor.

has the blood Of Montezuma in his
veins and in whose family the tradI-

treasure escaped the hands of Cortes
and his followers. Where is this treas

was of transparent stuff women call

wonderfully natural looking flower on

worn over an under-slip of mauve silk
there seemed to be yards and yards
of it; it billowed all about her and
fairly filled the open landau.
Her slender little feet rested on
