The Future of Niagara.

rom the Engineering Magazine.
In considering the Canadian Niagara
power situation broadly certain striking
features are at once presented. We find
financial faith In a demand for power at
last established, although this has been
rather slow in coming. but now that 500
100000 to 100000 600 is being invested
the markets must be found. -
The fields yet unexpected are many.
Steam railways will probably turn TO
electric when they feel absolutely sure
of continuous power. and the group of
Niagara plants should now make this
possible. The various power companies
also hold large blocks of land at Niagara
Falls, ontario, and will doubtless induce
smelling and manufacturing industries to
locate in the vicinity, and. beyond ALL the
many manufacturing towns in the center
of western Ontario are still unsupplied.
How much all these various dema nds
will amount to it is difficult to estimate.
but as there will be 100000 to 10000
horse power on the market from these
plants in few years. and as they are be-
ing developed with view to a total out
put of $4,000 to 100000 horse power, it
is a safe conclusion that the probable
demand within the next five years will
about equal the smaller amount men,
toned. On the other hand. II is hard to
conceive total demand in both coun-
tries within a present reasonable dis
lance of Niagara Falls of more than I00,-
900 horse power within the next genera
tion.

More Rays From the Brain.
arper's Weekly.


Following the experiments of Prof.
Charpentier of Paris with the much dis
cussed N-rays, in which he claimed that
this form of energy was emitted by the
human body and in particular by the
brain, comes the announcement of the
discovery of new, yet somewhat SINH
lar, form of radiation. M. di BraZza, a
student at Liege, claims to have demon
strated that the brain is the seat of act
i've radiation in the form of rays which
differ in certain respects from the N
rays, and on that account he has given to
them the name of l.. Utaly) rays, after
his native country. These rays have been
observed both visuafly with the aid of a
fuorescent screen OF platinocyanide of
barium, and also photographically, in
such a manner that it is thought by the
experimental that subjective effects have
been eliminated. The method is to attach
phosphorescent screen to the patients
head and then illuminate it family by
means of a photographic tube which is
inclosed in a wooden box. When the sub
ject concentrates his will the luminosity
supposed that this variation corresponds
with his psychical activity. The source
of the radiation has apparently been To-
Called, for it has been found that the
position of the screen eXertS powerful

of Broca's center no rays are emitted, but
apparently they are at maximum be-

The Best Iris.

The regal Japanese iris may be as easily
grown as the potato. Moreover. il is per-
fectly hardy. High, dry lands do not suit

stream on his place. Some exceedingly fine
specimens have been produced in a city

RUN ON WAR HISTORY.
Events in Russia. Reflected in the
Secondhand Book Trade.

From the New York Sun.
''The trouble in Russia has knocked the
cobwebs from my stock" said second
hand book dealer in a downtown cross
street. II haven't many books about Rus
STA. but that doesn't seem to make any
difference with my customers. 1 told one
who asked for volume on the czars-that
vas the way he asked for it-that 1 had
nothing in that line. So
What was the next biggest thing to
this St. Petersburg massacre?' he returned.
II told him that the French revolution
rather overshadowed it, in my opinion.
Then he wanted to know how many people
were killed in that uprising and how long
it lasted. From his inquiry 1 thought
would be safe in not being exact, SO L
Jumped the lot. 1t seemed 70 please him.
Got anything about it, he asked.
Il told him | had and | clambered up
on my stepladder and pulled down about
dozen volumes that hadn't seen daylight
"'All of EN- about the French revolu-
tom? he asked. How much for the lot?'
well, l shut my eyes and named the
first figure that l thought of, and he told
me to wrap 'em up. He went away APP
parently in a happy mood.
"A few hours later another customer
came in and asked if I had anything on
Russia. told him had just sold out my
Russian collection, adding that the oc-
currence in ST. Petersburg had created quite
a demand.
What else have you about revolutions"
he asked.
Il knew I had a lot of musty tones on
the commune in Paris. l had tried to give
them away several times. He said he had
heard about that, but that he had forgotten
whether it was big thing. / told him 1t
was a pretty lively affair while it lasted.
Tie me up a bundle of EN- he replied,
as if he were ordering lot of nails.
LAS he was about leaving he asked me
If l was living during the civil war in this
country. l told him that l had distinct
recollection of The whole trouble.
81 wasn't here them he said. I'm
only thirty-two now. But I've heard that
it was a great war.
Il told him he had heard correctly.
Do you think it was a bigger thing
than Dewey's fight at Manila? he asked.
Il told him tGat in my opinion 1T was.
How did it compare with the Sampson
Schley business at Santiago? he asked
"I9gaVe him ny opinion about that.
That Spanish-American war; he said,
was bit too one-sided for me. L want
something that was nearer draw, and
that fingered so to speak.
II recommended a history of the civil
war. He said he would take some. l
asked him which history he would prefer.
"'Oh l don't care he replied, give me
about So worth of it. I've got to catch
up on this war business somehow. Every
body's asking me what / think of Russia,
well, that's the way it goes. If a man

The Nobility of Trees.
IN the National Magazine.


Directly in my path stood ancient
swamp white oak. the greatest tree, 1
think, that / have ever seen. 1t was not
the highest, nor the largest around. per-
haps, but individually. spiritually, the
greatest. Hoary. followed and broken
limbed. his huge bole seemed encircled with
the centuries. and in this green and griz-
zled top all the winds of heaven had some
time come
One could worship in the presence of such
a tree easily as in the shadow of n
vast cathedral. Indeed. what is there built
with hands that has the dignity. the maj
esty, the divinity of life? And what life
was herei Life whose beginnings lay 60
far back that / could more reckon the
years than l could count the atoms 1t had
builded into this majestic form.
Looking down upon him from twice his
height doomed tulip poplar, clean, boiled
for thirty feet. and in the top all green and
gold with blossoms. 1t was a respondent
thing beside the oak, yet how Enthusiastically
the gnarled old monarch wore the crown!
His girth more than balanced the poplars
height, and as for blossoms-nature knows
the beauty of strength and inward majesty
and has pinned no boutonniere upon the
oak.

The Man Who Rules Japan.

From Harpers Weekly.
The Emperor of Japan is the sun of all
authority. Everything in Dai Nippon shines
by his light. In the Japanese conception
OF history he is the living representative
of the gods who made Everlasting Great
japan. Whether it were court mobiles of
immemoral lineage, heads of military
clans, medieval governors who governed
in the mkado's name, or the all-powerful
Shotgun at Kamakura or Yedo, they did
but shine by borrowed light Even the con-
stitution of 1889, which made government
representative and progressive, was a gift
in the name of his divine ancestors from
the emperor. The whole theory of ad-
ministration is that the Son of Heaven is
the source of all authority, and that pros
perity to the nation comes from his divine
ancestors through him. The most serious
questions which japanese patriots have to
answer and the most weighty problems
they have, to solve, center in this-how to
reconcile this ancient theory with the
claims of civilization and of Christianity.

Rubens and Velasquez.
From st. Nicholas.

From st. Nlch1Ids
Rubens, on the other hand not less orig
inal, took from the Italian style what could
be of use to him, and then built upon it
style of his own. He was as intellectual
a man as Velasquez, and. like the latter,
was accustomed to court life; but while
Velasquez, bound to the most puncunous
and superstitious court in Europe, was
driven IN upon himself, Rubens Travelled
from court to court with pomp as a trusted
envoy at liberty to do as he pleased AS
an artist Rubens had the wonderful faculty
of being constantly in white heat of
imagination, while perfectly cool and cal
culating in the control of his hand. Hence
the enormous output of his brush.

the theaters of New York at the present

door of one of these theaters, last week,
in the makeup of a south Jersey Rune,
with alfalfa whiskers, hickory shirt and
leans trousers tucked In undiscovered top
boots. may unhesitatingy be branded as a
falsehood of the most frivolous description.
Equally mischievous and uncalled for Is
the story that Mr. Winter. in his anxiety TO
witness a new Broadway performance from
the sight of which he was previously mott
fed that he would be excluded, made HIM
self up as a husky young Bowery miXed-ale
prizefghter and went on in the mon

able of making himself up in any such ap-
surd and husky manner.
Nor is there the slightest basis of truth
in the statement that Acton Davies at

from which he is barred in the uniform or
a private in the Salvation Army.
The story that Alan Dale fruitlessly es-
sayed to get into theater that doesn
