WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY.
It's Superiority as a Motive Power
Gives Promise Of the delegation
Of Steam and Smoke.

In electricity there Is nothing more
interesting than It's application to steam
railways. Engineers Of high standing
believe that the day is near at hand
when most Of the larger railways will
dispense with steam locomotives and
employ electrical motive power, either
by motors fed from third rails or over
head conductors, or by electric locomo-
tives. However this may be, writes
Walter WelIman, in Success, electricity
is already coming into use on steam
railways. The New York Central is
spending $4O,0OO,O0O for Identification
Of its metropolitan terminal, partly for
the purpose of dispensing with smoke
and coal gas in the tunnels, and partly
to obtain higher speed Of trains.
1t is easy even for layman to under
stand the superiority Of electricity as
motive power in urban and suburban
transportation. With a locomotive,
traction is secured from the weight Of
the driving wheels. With the multiple
unit system the weight Of every car in
the train may, If desired, be put upon
the drivers. In service with frequent
stops, speed Is secured by high rate OF
acceleration, and a rapid acceleration
requires power and weight. In New
York's new subway a train of eight cars
will carry motors which may, at any
desired moment, exert tractive force
equal to that Of a half dozen large steam
locomotives.
OF great promise is the motor which
uses an alternating current without sub
station transformers. II It proves en-
tirely successful, 1t will introduce a
large economy in all electrical railway
operation. The application of electrical
railway devices to all sorts Of indus
trialism affords material for book all
by itself,-ranging, as 1t does, from the
great electrical locomotive and the huge
overhead crane to the broiling Of beef
steak or curling of my lady's hair by
means Of the magic current In almost
every workshop electrical tools may be
found. In these, and in compassionate
appliances, may be found the greatest
advance In shop mechanics during the
decade. There Is new automatic or
mechanical telegraph tender, transmit
ting messages 40 times as fast as hu-
man operator. In fact, 1t is well known
that science and invention have, during
the last ten years, made telegraphy so
easy and cheap that, If we had in this
country a government or postal tele-
graph instead Of semi-public companies,
short letters could be sent by wire al
most as cheaply as by post. Unless I
read incorrectly the signs Of the times,
postal telegraphy is imminent in Amer
lea; 1t Is demanded by progress, and
progress cannot be denied. The auto
matte telephone is coming rapidly into
use, and promises to carry the con-
venience Of telephone communication
to hundreds Of thousands who cannot
now afford It. The rural telephone is
growing at an amazing rate, too, and
already scores Of thousands Of Ameri-
can farmers have the phone in their
houses

MONEY MADE IN DANCES.
Clever Brains Employed In the In
vention Of New Steps and
Figures.

The average citizen whose dancing
days are over. TO use the conventional
phrase, little realizes how many scores
Of clever brains are, year In, year out,
exercised In the invention OF new dances,
these latter quite apart from theatrical
dancing, says London paper.
And both fame and money come from
any new ballroom dance that happens
TO lift the public taste, though It must
be frankly stated that most Of the So
called new dances are, In reality, but
novel combinations and variants Of the
old ones. This, however, is not only
Inevitable, It Is positive advantage,
Inasmuch as the ordinary dancer, who
has learnt all the usual movements, can
the more readily follow the new COM
'binations. In the case Of a dancing pro-
fessor who has been responsible for any
new set Of movements that have become
fashionable, there Is always veritable
rush Of profitable pupils, all eager to
learn the new dance at first hand.
A considerable source Of profit to the
inventor Of a new dance Invariably Is
the sale Of music that has been CON-
posed with the express view Of fitting
the new movements. as the sales Of such
nHw music often extend over the whole
kingdom. Amongst dancing masters
themselves prizes are every year COM
peted for and given for new terpsi-
shorean movements. and the winners Of
these always derive considerable advan-
tages In the way Of popularity from their
Inventions, the monetary reward follow
Ing almost as a matter Of course.
In at least one case known to the
writer the invention Of a new dance
brought-with the sale OF the accom-
panying music, which had been bought
outright from the composer-something
over $500 in less than Is months.

Do YOU
UNDERSTAND

How an uninsured property
owner can rest easy?
Why some men will risk
their future happiness in
preference to paying a few
dollars to make everything
secure, is something beyond
the comprehension of cautious,
conservative people who care
for their own mind-easineSs
and the welfare Of their loved
ones. There is no certainty
Of his owning any property
tomorrow-fire may wipe out
in a few minutes all that he
has acquired.
We represent the soundest
companies in the world and
their rate is no more than you
would have to pay for ques-
tionable insurane.

Don't You Think

It would be a valuable aid to
you to have a fire insurance
policy that is worth its full
force value in cash the day
after your fire? The vast ma
iority of burned dwellings
were owned by men who could
not rebuild without their fire
insurance money. And yet,
strange to say a small per
cent. of such men carry in
surance. A large majority OF
the wealthy business men are
fully insured. This fact alone
should be enough to convince
every man of moderate means
-(the man who can't begin
to rebuild day after the fire.
to carry full insurance.
The companies we repre-
sent are the worlds standard.

A London doctor advances the theory
that a great deal Of the prevalent bald

does It.

IS THE SALTON BASIN FILLING FROM THE GULF

The Yuma Sentinel says that the in dications are that the Salton Sea has subterranean connection with the Gulf of California. The volume of water from the Colorado for the past ten days has been insufficient to cause the sea to rise two inches a day
 Where, then, has the surplus water come from? The mystery becomes less mysterious, apparently, whan the | physical geographical conditiyns are taken into account, which make the subterranean theory entirely plausible.
 A large territory bordering the lower stretches of the Colorado river and the Hardy, which has direct connec- | ton with the sink, is volcanic. At ir- regular, but infrequent periods, vol canic action is demonstrated by hun dreds of little cones being thrown up over the surface of the country. It is not lava that is forced up, but mud hot mud-the sulphurous fumes from which are suffocating. At the top of each one of these cones, after erup- tion ceases, fine powdered sulphur can be gathered by the handful. The whole region is underlaid and streak ed with sulphur, no telling to what depth, that has been burning, perhaps, 1 for ages. The exudation in the form of mud indicates connection with the gulf waters, especially so because erup- ticns are most violent and active when the great tide rushes in.
 An old time steamboat man still liv- ing in Yuma, who navigated the Colo rado forty years ago, and knows the river and country as well as he knows the multiplication table, believes thor oughly that the Gulf is contributing to- the Salton Sea through subterranean channels. There is DO other way to account for the continued rise of the sea-" he says. His theory is this:
 The land barriers separating the Gulf from the Salton sink are undoubt- edly perforated by channels created by the burning out of streaks of sul-

 T believe, he said, If a thorough investigation is made, whirlpool will be found somewhere n the Gulf that will indicate where the outlets are. A large cork dropped into the vortex would find its way into the inland sea where it could be watched for, and the finding would prove my theory to be correct. I believe the Salton has come into it's own again. For hun dreds of years, perhaps, it has been dead, but the forces of nature, working unseen in subterranean mystery have restored it to life.

The Southern Pacific has complet- ed its "shoo-fly," or detour track in the Salton Sea district and trains are being run over it. This track was built in record time. As many labor CTS as could be secured were put to work, and the construction was rush ed day and night. The shoo-fly is ten feet above the old track and out of reach of the waters of the sea, which rage every time the winds blow across the desert. With the shoo-fly com pleted it is thought that the railroad has won it's battle with the elements. The detour track is built to replace the three miles of track which has been under water The sea still lines the track for miles, and when a heavy wind comes up it makes waves four or five feet high which dash against the roadbed and send spray over the tracks.
