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 q paper read before the British
association by Mr.. Campbell Ewinton,
yields to mans use an energy equal to
1,4S3, 3S0-horse power, Of which Great
Britain figures for only 1l,9O6-horse
power. The British Aluminium COM
pany gets 7.OOO-hOrse power from the
falls Of Foyers and 1t expects present.
ly to procure 17.0O0-horse power from
Loeb LeVen. The North Wales Elec-
trio Power company is about to tap
Lake Llydaw. on Snowdon, and hopes
to obtain s,2O0-horse power for every
working day Of nine hours. Finally.
the Scotch Water Power syndicate is
peering round in quest Of waters that

generate electric power. From Loeb
Sloy, 157 feet above Loeb Lomond, Il

MUSIC AS A THERAPEUTIC.
Mental and Physical Ills May Be
Relieved by Its Aid-one
Example Of Use.

Much assistance is in many instances
to be derived from the intelligent use
of music, either vocal or instrumental,
as a therapeutic adjunct. Melancholia,
insomnia, hysteria, family affection.
business reyerses, delirium, pain,
fatigue, mental or physical, will all be
helped by the beneficial influence OF
music, rightly used. AS a post-opera-
tive measure it would have an IN
doubted influence for good in taking the
patients mind from his bodily distress.
So, also, could painless" dentistry be
relieved of some OF its pain and distress
by the quieting influence of music,
which would. as has been amply demon
strated, produce pleasanter mental in
fiuence during the administration or
nitrous oxide or other anaesthetic. A
German writer recently stated (Febru-I
airy, 1904, that in a number of test
cases in which music was provided DUR
ing the administration of the anaesthet-
ic there was an absence of distress and
resistance on the part of the patient: |
also an absence or reduction of the
pOst-Operatiye nausea under the same
circumstances. To be advantageous the
nature Of the composition must be care
fully selected with a view to the needs
of the individual case, and the execution
must be as nearly faultless as possible.

UNNECESSARY DISTINCTION
Expressions "By and By" and 'EBy
the Bye" Are Cause of Argu-
ments as to Origin.

The two expressions by and by"
and by the bye" are really derived
from the same original word, and the
words by" and bye" have the
same general sense. But the SPELL
ing bye" has long been used in
the second of these phrases, without
any real reason for the change, de-
clares st. Nicholas Magazine. We
should not speak Of a bye-law or a
bye-path. and yet many are careful
to write 'by the bye" and by and
by" In goodbye" there might be
some reason for keeping the final e."
since it stands for the word "ye" in
the shortened form Of God be with
ye;" but where so much has been
dropped the "e" is hardly worth keep
ing, especially as the old meaning IL
seldom recalled. ,

JAPAN AS. OUR CUSTOMER.
England and the United States Are
Favored in Trade Of the In

According to an article in the Ger

consular reports. the materials needed

land. Even big ships built for Japan
in Germany years ago were ordered

armamenL Recently Krupp and the
French firm of Schneider are preferred.
The fact that England and the United
States are favored is shown by the
purchase Of material for the Yokohama
waterworks. In calling for bids it was
provided that the cocks come from
England and the water meters from
England or the United States, the
names Of firms even being specified.
Locomotives for the railroads in Japan
and Korea are bought exclusively in
the United States. presumably because
they are more quickly obtainable
there. The friendship for the United
States Is increasing.
