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
sociation by Campbell Ewinton, yields
to mans use an energy equal to ,4S3,-
800 horse power, of which Great Brit
ain figures for only 11,906 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
tain $500 horse power for every work
ing day of nine hours. Finally, the
Scotch Water Power Syndicate Is peer
ing round in quest Of waters that it
can imprison at lofty levels and so
generate electric power. From Loch
Sloy, 757 feet above Loeb Lomond, it
is going to get 5000 horse power, and
at Ardlul, higher up, it proposes to
get further energy. Even a modest
stream that drops several hundred feet
may be a source of power.

He Got Right Up.

It Is a thankless and sometimes diff
cult task to wake sleeper in the
morning so effectively that he will get
up at once, yet it may be done, safely
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. o..
"Well?" he demanded, sleepily, and
not very pleasantly.
"I've got an important message fol
you," replied youthful voice from the
corridor.
The man was up in an instant; he
opened the door and received from the
bell boy 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
up."

Veteran Organists,

Organists are proverbiauy long lived,
though doubtless the oldest organist is
MIR. Gervase Cooper, an English mu.

but still does active service as organist
OF a Wesleyan church. He has been
associated with the musical services
OF that denomination for seventy five
years. and for fifty eight years has
ofiiciated as organist continuously.
Another notable veteran is 7. n
Webber, who played the national an.
them at Westminster when Queen Vic.
toria was crowned and did the same
at the coronation of King Edward. He
has been organist at the parish church
for sixtyfour years.

Coal Mine Has a Chapel.

One of the most remarkable places
of worship in the world is the Miners
chapel in Myndd Mingdd colliery,
Swansea, Wales, where for more than
fifty years the workers have each
morning assembled for worship.
This sanctuary is situated close to
the bottom of the shaft. The only
light is that obtained from solitary
Davy safety lamp hung over the pull
pit from the ceiling, and the oldest
miner in the colliery is generally cho-
sen to officiate.
1t is the custom in some other places
for coal miners to gather together at
meal times for prayer meetings and
the like, but it is said that this is the
only instance where a special apart
ment is fitted out in a coal mine as q
chapel.

than mink, and it would be an insult
to the feline race to call her cat.
That is almost the worst of mink
She so easily develops claws. But as
rule she walks the ways well pleased
and careless, intent upon her bit or
fun. Like the boys and the frogs she
pursues her paStime regardless OF the
feelings of her victims.
One of my minxes, seeing a promls-
ing Irritation, and wishing to put stop
to it, spread a damaging report about
the young man, whom she herself ad-
mired Then she told him that she be-
Iieved in him and would not give up
his friendship, ETC.. etc. The little plot
had every prospect of success, when
owing to an accident he discovered that
his boycott had been originated by
Miss Mink.
MY pet mink is Ann in Bernard
Shaw's Man and Superman." There
is almost sublimity about some OF her
methods, and though she is walking
over peoples necks and telling shock-
ing fibs there is much fascination about
her. One would give something to
know what Rhoda, her younger sister,
thought of her. If you suspect any girl
of being a mink, the surest way to
find out. If you are right is to study
the manner of her young brothers and
sisters to her.
Cruel? Yes The mink is cruel in
her play, like many other pretty things
in nature; cat with mouse, kitten with
butterfly, brother with sister.

cided answer as follows: 'I do not love
you now, but if you will go on taking
me to the theater and on the river, and
dining me at restaurants, 1 shall per-
haps like you better"
With one or. two admirers of this
kind, Miss Mink may have very good
time. But Nemesis, though lame of
foot, is always to be reckoned with.
That limp of hers disappears surpris-
ingly at times, and more particularly
when Settling day arrives and
