FEAR FOR NIAGARA
IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM FALLS.
Commercial Enterprises are Making
Heavy Drains on This Famous Show
PIsce--lts Tremendous Electrical
Power the Inducemsnt

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 POSSIBLE
ity OF a practical wiping out Of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
FIVE 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-
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 Eve 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
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 in 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.

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 mes-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 ao
count Of noise. Progress is noisy:
necessarily so, | suppose. But wheB
speak Of progress of the noisy type,
|, OF course, mean material progress,
We can't build, in a material sense
without making noise. Intellectual
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.
was a rather close observer of man
at a game of baseball the other day.
He started to yelling gently and grad
ually worked his way up to the alti-
tude of the shrieking rooter. Before
that game ended that fellow was as
mad as a March hare. He had been
crazed by his own voice. Noise is
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 a few other fellows
with him."

Forbidden Guest.

The following verse from a recent poem
on sour Christmas Guests discloses q
delicate little hint:
the imp who in my ear
For thirty years has whispered. with
feverish lips of fear
That the thing to get was money, the
stun that men most prize;
Don't think I'm longer blinded by the
glamor of your lies.
For you're mighty liar. and the thing
to keep is health.
And 1t has value greater than all your
boosted wealth.:
And another one is honor. and some moro
are truth and right:
I can hardly bear your presence amongst
my guests tonight
