and with bad pen. Only
2S0 years before Christ it had -
palaces in one street and how
els of mud in the next. From ~
the forum one could see and
smell the fish market. The
crowds that thronged the
streets showed each other
cheerfully into the mud, for
there were few sidewalks
and there was no STRENGTHENING
brigade.
Then, suddenly, she began to develop,
stretch, raise her head and become
splendid.
Like many American cities, she had
to change from a town of shanties to a
city Of palaces all at once. The process
Of growing SO suddenly burst her seams
and made troubles in all corners.
Then came the police, that desperate
remedy of every municipality that has
outgrown the constable and the pound
master. --:;- -. :,
Truly Imperial Rome.
They were needed, however, for when
it was full-grown under the great en-
perors, Rome had two circuses, two
amphitheaters, three theaters, four
schools of gladiators, five arenas for sea-
fighting spectacles, thirty-six triumphal
arches, thirty gates, almost 800
public stores, l 100 palaces and 46,602
tenements.
Ground was SO precious that the own
ers OF land in most parts of the city
aimed to build as narrow and high
buildings as they could, just as they
do now; and the heights of the tene-
ments were limited only by the ability
Of the architects Of those days. Most
of these tenements were Of stone in
the first story, while the rest was of
wood. ..rr
T There was no building department at
first, and everybody was permitted to
build as he pleased, with the result that
the poor people were housed miserably
and still had to pay enormous rents.
After the great fire in Nero's reign
much Of this was changed. Almost all
Of the cheaper tenements were de.
| stroyed, and Nero issued a series of
edicts fixing the width of new streets
and the maximum heights of buildings
1t was ordered that streets must be
cut straight and be no less than if-
teen to eighteen feet wide, and that nc
buildings must be more than seventy
feet high. ".
Of course, as soon as these edicts were
issued, somebody had to enforce them
and naturally. the police got the job
They accepted it with enthusiasm.
Uncer Cesar the police authority had
been under aediles and censors, who
were elected by the citizens each year
When the emperors got supreme power
they needed police force that was
more amenable, -and the position of city
project was created. The city project
began by being practically what ou1
police commissioners Of today are. The
position became so powerful a one thai
it was the highest aim of senators anc
other dignitaries to become project Of
the city of Rome. Practically those ole
| police commissioners stood next to the
emperors in power-aot always to the
delight Of the latter. .,..
- Rome was a great opportunity then
at the height of it's glory, for a fruga
policeman. Two millions Of people
thronged it's streets-Romans, Germans
Africans, Asiatics, Spaniards; rich ant
poor, the most learned and the mos

ume of water would be decreased and
the natural beauty of the falls would be
impaired.
In connection with the negotiations it
will be necessary for the two govern
merits to consider the effect upon the
industries already established on both
sides of the stream. At the present
time there are in operation or under
construction on the banks of the Nj
agara river electrical power plants of
a combined 12-million horse power.
In additions to this amount the pro-
Jected improvements and the plants to
be erected under charters given by the
state of New York and the Ontario gov
eminent will increase the horse power
developed to 100000. The estimated
gross income of the power companies is
in the neighborhood of $1O,0O0,o0o a
year.

POWER FROM LAKE TITICACA.

The great altitude of Lake Titicaca,
which body of water is known to every
sehoolboy as being the highest lake in
the world, is to be utilized in the de-
velopment of electric power.
The waters of this lake, which are
about 10000 feet above sea level, afford
excellent opportunity for the develop
ment Of a hydraulic electric system,
and the Peruvian government has com.
missioned an electrical engineer of ma
tional reputation to investigate the
feasibility of such power plant, with
the idea of using the power so gener-
ated for the operation of the state rail.
