LARGEST STEEL FLUME IN THE WORLD

Of water from the river above the
Horseshoe falls every second. This
fume is so large that it was necessary
to establish a temporary shop on the
grounds for its construction. 1t runs
through Victoria Park and is laid in a
trench. In order that it may not mar
the beauty of the park lands, the great
pipe is covered with earth, but before
being so concealed was given a jacket
Of concrete, SO that there would be no
unequal pressure of the earth. The
flume Is protected against electrolysis.
From the water that will flow through
this pipe it is expected to develop CO.
600 electrical horsepower. Three such
fumes will be constructed

Conditions have changed In relation
to the farmer. No longer is he segre-
gated from his fellows. His is not now
a condition of irremediable loneliness
or isolation. With the advent of the
interurban trolley car, the telephone
and the rural mail delivery the entire
condition of his existence has changed,
To-day the farmer has his daily news
paper, his added facilities for CORE
spondence and his telephone that
brings him within speaking distance of
his neighbors and the great outside
world. The nature of the farmer has
changed with the changed conditions
that surround him. He has become a
business man who Is in constant touch
with his markets and Is well versed In
the varying circumstances of trade In
the commodities that he produces. The
old days of loneliness are gone forever.
The man with the hoe has triumphed
ct last. He has come into his own.

: A man who is recognized as emil
nently successful in business has hang
ing over his desk little motto which
says: do the Hard Thing First" II
came across that motto years ago."
he says, Eat pivotal time In my life.
I suddenly realized that had been
in the habit of putting off the disa-
greeable duties, of evading the I'M
pleasant tasks, and they had formed a
ghost which haunted me and held me

awakening and change of tactics"
Many a man who has done much good
work has fallen short Of success be-
cause some disagreeable thing lay in
his way which he would not overcome.
A boOkkeeper who complained that ha
was not advanced as rapidly as he
thought he deserved to be had 1t point
ed out to him that his handwriting
was bad. Practice in handwriting was
repugnant to him, and he remained in
the minor position. Many people fail
because they refuse to do the small
things, and these mount up In the final
reckoning, forming a barrier between
them and success. If you have moi
met with the success you think your
efforts merit, do not rail against fate
but just cast about for the disagree
able portions of your work from which
you have shrunk. You may not at
tach any importance to them. But yor
can never know how your neglect OF
them has changed the current Of your
life. Somehow or other 1t seems thai
the hard things are the important

first and lie among the flowers after

of that we will go to rolling stones
But the longer we lie the more dis

The Inevitable.

Whatever you do and whatever you say
Somebody's going to kick.
If you even attempt to give money away
They will vow it's some kind Of a
trick.
You may struggle and toll to evolve a
new plan
For meeting the needs or the pleasures
of man,
But when, with some pride, your en-
beavers you scan,
Somebody's going to kick.
If refuge you take In the far-distant
stars,
Somebody's going to kick.
If you hint that perhaps there are people
in Mars,
There's ridicule following quick.
The man who is mentioned when history
is read
Is the man who went straight and sin
cerely ahead.
For you may as we'll know that till aftel

Puzzle for French war once,


A singularly rare case under the
law of universal military service is
now engaging the attention of the
French war office and of the public.
It is that of three trlplet brothers,
among them the mainstay of a very
poor family of eight otnsr children and
their mother, who are swept at one
stroke from the workshop to the bar
racks. One Is a mason, one a painter
and one an agricultural laborer. An
other point arises as to which should
be exempt If legal excuse is extended
to any. Even their own mother is
ignorant which of the three saw day.
light first and it is quite impossible to
say which is the eldest and which il
the youngest. --.-.--. .-.-

who made the photograph was enjoy
ing morning tramp through the
heather in the highlands in search of
grouse. In the moment that he stood
alone and posed for the photograph he
doubtless experienced feeling OF per-
sonal safety unknown to him at any
other time or place, There were no
cares of court or state to weigh upon
his mind and body, no treacherous
mental to betray him to his enemies,
no lurking anarchist to hurl his soul
into eternity without warning. Above
him was the gray sky Of Scotland and
about him the wind-swept moor Of the
highland, and for company two honest
freemen. For the time being he was
man among men, with no occasion
to suspect or fear those about him.
What grateful sense of relief he must
have experienced can only be con,
| jectured, but unless he be lacking in
human emotions he must have tasted
momentarily the delights of the calm
restful, simple life of the highland peo
pie about him. OF all the uneasy heads
that wear crown, none lies 30 un
easily as the Gar Of Russia's at this
time. The picture which shows thai
monarch relieved from his worries
cares, doubts and fears, even for the
moment as it was, Is pictorial preach
ment to all men who seek to gain Of
exercise unjust power, and who, like
the Gear of Russia, never experience
the joy Of the simple life but for
fieeting moment, and then only to in
crease the misery Of their daily exist
ence through its loss.
