Postal cards are not good to write love letters on or to carry secret diplo- matic dispatches, but they have impor- tant uses. We owe their invention to Germany. In 1865, says the World s Work, the German postmaster general advanced the idea. His government rejected it, but the Austrian postoffice took it up, and issued the first card in Vienna in 1866. All the important coun. tries in Europe used postal cards be- fore the United States, which did not issue them until 1873. To Germany We also owe the picture postal card. which has become such popular way of sending bright message to ones friends without the labor of compost tion. Much might be written on the relation of the postal card to the de- cline of the art of polite correspond ence; and the postal card would join hands with the telegraph in the de. fense of brevity at the expense of lit erary style.

charging It into the upper bed of the Illinois or Desplaines river it would thus be possible to develop great local power and also to increase any water power that may be developed along this river In it's course across the tate. A power station near Joliet, on the line of the Chicago drainage canal. Is under construction and is to have 24,noO horsepower. If the franchises are obtained more may be built and each power plant will divert more water. and all the water thus diverted flows toward the Mississippi.
 Cliffs Instead of Cataracts.
 Similar opportunities are offered on the kankakee river, Indiana. and there are even possibilities in Ohio of divert ing the water of Lake Erie and permit ting it to find its way into the Ohio river. The questions of getting iran clises and of being able to divert the water by an economical method are the only obstacles to a water power de 'elopment in Ohio. When the States and the Canadian provinces geograph- ically situated to make rse of the tre- mendous and cheap power of the wat CTS of the great lakes make full use Of the supply at their doors, Niagara Falls, as one Of the wonders of the world will have disappeared as coni- pletely as has the Colossus of Rhodes; for, instead of a sublime cataract, there will remain a little waterfalls: high. of course, but unimpresslve. and entirely dry when a contrary wind further lowers the level of Lake Erie.
 Constructing Canadian Plants.
 The construction of the plants of the which will develop 10000 horsepower.

The plan provided for an inland forebay. placed at the foot of the cascades in the NJ agara river, just at point where the tumbling waters are seen in fury ap- preaching madness. To accomplish this the first proceeding was to build cot- ferdam to hold the furious waters in check while the forebay was construct ed.
 To build the cofferiam was held i'm practicable. owing to the fact that the bed of the Niagara river at that point was worn into immense boulders. To gether these conditions formed task of magnitude and of great danger IL appeared that to build water tight cofferdam under the circumstances was next to impossible. Yet the dam

pose will reach 1,237 cubic feet a sec ond. The Chicago drainage canal Is said to require as much as 5000 cubic feet of water a second. Work has been started on a canal that is to run from La Sale to the Devils Hole in the gorge below the Whirlpool Rapids. and this canal will develop 10000 horsepower, to achieve which about I.400 cubic feet of water a seconl must pass through the turbines. In ad- dition to these diversions of water which otherwise would pass over the falls, there is the possibility that ona of the power companies on the New York side of the Niagara river will con. struct another tunnel, and another S,G00 cubic feet of water a second may be diverted.
 Diversion of the Waters.
 In immediate prospects, as will be seen from the above, the total diversion of water from the great lakes and the Niagara river will reach no less than & 400 cubic feet of water a second, or fl per cent of the minimum discharge rated of the Niagara river. IT should be borne in mind however, that when the record of the discharge rate of the river was taken in 1899, about 10,- 600 cubic feet of water a second was being diverted. Even considering that, the prospect of the near future is that of about 60,0O0 cubic feet of water second being diverted, or about 36 per cent Of the minimum discharge. It has been declared that only about 10 per cent of the volume of water pass ing over the falls is carried by the New York bank, which Is known to be shallow. Consequently, when there is a further diversion of 60,OO0 cubic feet a second, 1t does not require feat of imagination to see that this reduction in volume will have m appreciable effect upon the American falls.
 Tapping Lake Michigan.
 But 67,4O0 cubic feet of water a sec ond Is not all that 1t Is projected to di- vert from the same supply. The State of New York alone has granted within recent years franchises to at least six companies to use the supply for power. and the Ontario government has au-

TWO DEAD
EXTRACT ROUTE
S S Glover and Tom DOugherty
Die in Same Bed From
Drinking Lemon Extract

S. S. Glover, an attorney, and Tom
Dougherty, a Shawnee Indian died
last night in a shack on the south
side from the effects, presumably,
of drinking lemon extract.
Both men have resided In Vinita
for the last twenty years and we're
familiar figures about town.
Clover was formerly OF Lawrence,
Kansas and had since his residence
here been engaged in handling Shaw
nee land claims in Kansas
Tom Dougherty was full bl0oded
Shawnee Indian and had for years
been sort of a partner Of Clover in
loking after Shawnee business.
Both men we're hard drinkers and
from the empty bottles Of extract
found in the room the supposition is
they met death from drinking that
liquid.
Clover has daughter, Mrs. Daisy
Mitchell now living at Lawrence and
who has been notified of his death.
