EVIL OF PRESENT DAY.
Mental Faculties Greatly Disturbed by
Noise.

Noise, In my judgment, is one OF
the most powerful and most success
full disorganizers of the mental facul
ties in the world" said a thoughtful
citizen to a representative of the
New Orleans Times-D Democrat, "and
when we reflect on the enormous in
crease In noises of all kinds, we will
probably be convinced that the time
is rapidly coming when the race will!
be In no small danger mentally on &C

necessarily so. | suppose. But wheB
l speak of progress of the noisy type,

We can't build, in a material sense,

progress even is not always along
quiet lines. But | was thinking OF
noise in a lighter aspect. Have you
not noticed how some men become
mentally reckless on account of loud
talking? Have you not noticed that
children will sometimes shrek them
selves into a highly nervous state?
They become mentally disorganized
on account of the noise they make. I
was rather close observer of a man

He started to yelling gently and grad

tude of the shrieking rooter. Before
that game ended that fellow was as
mad as March hare. He had been
crazed by his own voice Noise is a
dreadful distractor, when you come to
think of it, and the trouble about the
noisy 'rooter' at ball game is that
in driving himself to the madhouse he
is likely to take few other fellows
with him."

Power the lnducement.

Niagara Falls, August 1.-THE
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people OF the state are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the possibil-
ity of practical wiping out of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
hve hundred thousand horsepower
continuously, twenty-four hours per
day, for industrial purposes, is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls. and further developments re-
curing 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 1t springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene
The light resulting from the ignition
OF acetylene Is the nearest approach

These facts, though OF compare

seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
cium carbide is being shipped every

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,

acetylene generators has become
business of recognized standing, has

hid In the attack and the cellar and
lin every possible place between. A
normally sedate young man was the
seeker. He galloped about madly,
shouting ..,apd- sear&hing. He opened
every door he saw and In one room
his keen eyes espied somebody trying

and seized the figure.
