Niagara Falls, August 1.-THE

reaching such proportions that the
people of the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the POSSIBLE
ity of a practical wiping out of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred, thousand horsepower

Quiring more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the
electricity produced by the waters Of
the mighty river is the concern which
by the five or six thousand degree
heat of the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as
so much broken rock, but in contact
with water it springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts, though of compare
lively recent discovery. were soon
seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness il buildings of all descriptions,
from the ordinary barn of the farmer
to. the country villa of the wealthy, as
well as for lighting the streets of a
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed,
and the manufacture and sale Of
acetylene generators has become a
business of recognized standing. has
assumed large proportions and is
steadily growing.

st. Paul. Aug. 6.-Although condi-
lions approaching a tie-up have not

graphers' strike on the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific, increasing
ly serious delays, caused by the
strike, effected the moving of traffic.
Reports from officials report num-
Der of deserters and the number of
stations opened vary widely. General
Manager Horn, of the Northern Pa
cific, and General Superintendent
Slade, of the Great Northern, say that
they are continuing to get men from
the union ranks, and President Per
ham. of the telegraphers' union. de-
clares that these statements are great
ly exaggerated in each case.
Numbers of stations are being open
ed on both roads, clerks from the gen
eral Offices of the roads and other en-
ployes, besides dispatchers, being
used to augment the ranks of the
strike-breakers. Those who are not
telegraphers are assigned to smaller
stations to take care of the freight
and express business.
General Manager Horn, in com
menting on the developments, said:
''The striking operators have abso
lutely failed to tie up the Northern
Pacific or to interfere to any great
degree with the movement of trains
Our freight and passenger service is
being maintained effectively and with,
out a break"
The difficulties in train operation
will be greatly increased by union rul
ings received tonight by conductors
and engineers employed by the two
systems. Grand Chief Engineer w.
S. Stone. of the order of railway
engineers, has instructed the mem
bers of that body to cease assuming
any functions of the telegraphers, and
E. E. Clark. head of the Order of
Railway Conductors, has issued like
order. The telegraphers say that
much of the success the roads have
had in moving trains is due to the
aid given by members of these two
orders.
