WONDERFULSUN DIAL

Aiming to Reproduce Famous Time

Peter Hamilton of Baltimore Has
Far outdone the Model He Selected.

The romantic and picturesque sun

Dial making is again an industry re.

Times.
1t was in days when interest in sun
dials was lowest that Peter Hamilton
OF Baltimore conceived and executed
the design for dial unlike any other
of which we have any knowledge and
which is now one of the attractions
OF the celebrated Druid Hill park in
that city.
This dial, beautiful from an archi-
tectural standpoint, is also mathe-
NAUTICAL wonder, for it registers the
time at fifteen places, each far dis
tant from one another. From its fif-
teen faces can be read the hours at
Rio Janeiro, Sitka, Jeddo, Jerusalem,
Fernando Pc, Cape Cod, Baltimore,
Pitcairn's island, Honolulu, London,
Cape Town and San Francisco. The
equatorial and polar planes. the latter

That he had constructed wholly

duplicate is fact which surprised
Mr. Hamilton, for he believed while
constructing 1t that he was repro.

world.
There are over eight dials in all

to four dials each. This dial is Ger.

church in Zion, which is the official

activity in PROSECUTING which might
put some older religious bodies to
shame. From a recent published re-
port it is learned that in the month
of August last, throughout the Uniteo
States there were engaged 598 work

WATER POWERS OF TEXAS.

Many an empire has boasted a
less extensive domain than does the
single state of Texas. Mere acres,
however, do not constitute greatness.
To soil must be added water, trees,
men, FARMS cities, factories; and per
haps, the most mportant-certainly
the first of these-is water. In proper
ton to the size of the state the water
resources of Texas are not sufficiently
abundant to make conditions in that.
commonwealth ideal for farmer or
manufacturer Before the highest de-
Eyelopment can be reached, men have
need to tax their wits, utilizing every
waterfall and storing every raindrop.
Very suggestive to those interested
in the industrial progress of the state
is a report entitled The Water Powers
of Texas, which has recently been pub
lished by the United States geological
survey.
In addition to the main rivers of
Texas, there are at least twenty
streams west of Colorado river when
rise ms prings and which constitute
potential factors in the water supply
and water power Of the state. These,
springs occur for the most part in the
Edwards plateau, the most notable ex-
ceptions being those at Fort Stockton,
Santa Lucia, and at the head of Toyah
creek, in trans-PecOs Texas.
The water power in many localities
is only partially developed There
are, however, many plants in the state
which have been built upon scientific
principles, with modern machinery,
and which obtain high efficiency A
large percentage of the plants now in
existence are located on Guadalupe,
! Colorado, and Brazos rivers and their
tributaries. Guadalupe river easily
takes rank as the most effective of The
streams in the state.
i There are more power plants on
i Neches and Sabine rivers and their
tributaries than on the rivers farther
west, but these plants are usually only
small mills of 6 to 30 horsepower,
which are used for ginning cotton, saw
ing lumber, or grinding corn.
In eastern Texas the country is
heavily wooded and is traversed by
many small streams which are for the
most part tributaries of Sabine river
or Neches river and are not subject
to sudden fluctuations in height. The
water is held back by the leaves, roots,
and low-growing vegetation which
cover the earth and it flows off gradu-
ally, so that there is little occasion
for shutting down plants on account
of low water The power plants in
western Texas are larger but the
streams are subject to sudden rises
and falls, especially the streams that
flow through the mountain Of Edwards
plateau, such as the Colorado, Guada-
lupe and Nueces.
This report was prepared by Thomas
u. Taylor. It is listed as Water Sup
ply and Irrigation Paper No. LOB, and
is published for general distribution.
