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

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 possibil.
ity Of practical wiping out of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
FIVE hundred thousand horse-powe,
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 five 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 compara-
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
we'll as for lighting the streets Of
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed.
and the manufacture and sale of
acetylene generators has become
business Of recognized standing, has
assumed large proportions and is
steadily growing.

It goes without saying that he ought to be able to return their hos pitality in suitable manner, but few American consuls .eaR, da. so..- unless they have private income, says the New York Independent. When we deprive our consuls of the necessary means to enter the social circle to which they properly belong. we re- duce them to mere ciphers," said Pres ident Monroe. It is very true. but there has been little Improvement in this respect since Monroe's day. Tt is not sufficient 10 have our rep.e- sentative living abroad as chcaply as he can afford to exist" said Senator Sumner. because his social position is an important factor in his power to Nc useful" Yet it is the reyrettable fact. as a consul wrote some time ago. that there is hardly consulate in the world where the American repre- sentative is not the most shabbilv housed, poorly served and poorly paid among his consular associates

FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 1905.

There has existed, and still exists to some extent. q false sentiment that labor is degrading or belttling. The contrary is true. truly observes the Cincinnati Enquirer. An ideal condi- ton of society can come only when every member of it recognizes that he is bound to exercise whatever skin or strength or faculty he possesses to it's full capacity. not selfishly or for the sake of gain merely, but for his own happiness and development and for the benefit of all. And there should ba no restriction on anyone. either lc- gal or social. or through association. ln regard to his labor or it's fruits. If by patient application or natural en- doWment man possesses more skill than his fellow. or if he chooses to be more industrious, he Is eRtitled to the full benefit of 1t.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-01-20

Speaking of the various means adopted for safety in railroad travel. q writer in Leslie's says that the block system in its perfection simply re- duces the opportunity for error to q minimum, by substituting a rigid sys- tenn based on time limit and by con centrating responsibility upon one man Only-the engineer man. It is some times objected to the block system that the increased dependence on me chanical contrivances tends to shift from the cmploye that acute sense of personal responsibility which we call discipline. The argument is false Perfect discipline is. of course. the ul- innate goal. But the point is here. We never can get perfect discipline on American railways and we can get the block system, which even with the grade of discipline now enforced will produce measurable safety. All available means to enforce discipline, which can be enforced, are now en- forced.
