FEAR FOR NIAGARA
IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER
DIVERTED FROM FALLS.

Heavy Drains on This Famous Show
Plaee-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 POSSIBLE
ity Of a practical wiping out Of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water SUFFICIENT to develop nearly
Ave 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-
curing 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 compare
lively recent discovery, were soon
seized by men with an eye to the COM
mercial possibilities and to-day cal
eium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
moss 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 .
LARGE number of towns. Acetylens
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 10
steadily growing.

BUILDING COLLAPSED
MANY PEOPLE KILLED

Hundred People Are Caught
in the Ruins.

in the Ruins.
Albany, N. Y.-The middle section
of the big department store OF the
John @. Myers company in North
Pearl street collapsed early Tuesday
carrying down with it over 100 per-
sons
Caught in a chaos of brick, plaster
and wooden beams, between twenty
and thirty men, women and children
met death. Twelve hours frantic
work on the part of an army OF res
cuers disentangled fifty people, six OF
them dead and many of the rest badly
injured.
The collapse came shortly after the
opening hour, when barely score OF
shoppers were in the store. A clock
found in the debris had stopped at IL
minutes before Q o'clock showing
when the crash came.
The best accounts of the event that
probably caused the ruin is given by
the head of the crockery, glass and
drug department, which occupies the
basement.
"The workmen were saving at
wooden floor BEAM" said he, which
runs under the northern end OF the
pillars in the middle of the store. Ex-
cavation for the cellar was going on
about the base of this pillar, and I be-
lieve that Earring of the beam beneath
1t displaced the foundation OF the
pillar"
The pillar which gave way support
ed the ends of two giant Orders and
when it fell, the main support OF the
central part of the building was gone.
With a noise that could be heard
blocks away and which shook the
adjoining buildings, nearly half the
great structure from cellar to roof and
extending from one sidewalk to the
other came grinding down. When the
fire department arrived they had
plenty to do in rescuing those who
were pinned under the top wreckage.
In a short time the city's entire hos
pital and ambulance force was on the
scene, aided by half hundred doc
tors from all parts of the city.

appearances died. The third time the
game was played with an ingenious
variation. The uncle went to a life
insurance company. explained that he
was In financial straits and wished to
borrow money on his niece's estate.
To compensate for such a loan he
would have to insure her life for its
value, but could not afford to have
this insurance become known, as Il
would expose his financial condition
and ruin his credit The company,
therefore. agreed to write the insur-
ance under a bond OF secrecy. As
usual, the young woman went into
commissions and died. Before her
funeral she lay in state for all the
world to see, Her uncle was pros.

He did not try to collect the insur

did the company paid him In full with

Recognition by Colleges OF Importance
Of American story.
A little moro than thirty years ago
a boy could enter Harvard college and
after four years graduate with tho
highest honors without knowing of
the existence of the declaration Of In
dependence or when the constitution
Of the United States was framed, says
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader
Magazine. What was true Of Har-
ward was true. OF other universities
and colleges. American history was
not included IN the scheme Of the
higher education. Boys entering col
lege were required TO know something
OF tho history Of Greece and Rome,
but not OF their own country. During
the four years of the college course
they had opportunity TO study the his.
tory OF England and Europe, but never
to learn aught OF the United States.
This condition of education was mere
ly an Indication OF an attitude of mind
then passing away. but which had once
been predominant. The usual opinion
seems to have been during the first
half NJ the nineteenth century that
there was no American history worth
telling. apart from the adventures Of
the revolution, which were both con.
nected 40 closely with the history OF
Europe that they might be deemed Of
importance.
