Shoals of Books on BRIDGE.

ShSdiS VI DSOHo 0u DTiuHC.
When bridge was established a COM
mittee of three members of the Port
land was appointed In December, 1895,
to drafe the required lode of rules for
the new game. The task was a diff
cult one, as their knowledge of the
game was at that early stage q very
elementary one, but the work was so
skilfully and successfully done that
the code of laws then drawn up lasted
practically unaltered for a perior of
ten years. and stood the test of cover
ing all the debatable points of the
game.
These laws wereissued early in 1895,
and in July of the same year they
were submitted to a joint committee
of the Portland and Turf clubs, and,
being passed with few unimportant
alterations, they became the standard
laws of English bridge. and remained
so until another joint committee OF the
same clubs issued the Revised Laws
of Bridge" at the end of 1904.
There never was any game about
which so many people have aired
their different opinions. Between 1904
and 1905 somthing like one hundred
books were published dealing entire
ly with the practice of bridge, and the
list is not yet completed. They still
come. Hardly week passes without
some fresh aspirant to literary fame
setting forth his views under an al
Turing title.

NO QUORUM
Likely to Be Present at Session of
Congress Friday-Reported
Troooa Will I and TODAY


Troope viii Land Today.
Havana, Sept 26.-It is the general
belief here that there will not be a
quorum at the extraordinary session OF
congress Friday and that therefore
the designations of President Palma
and Vice President Capote will not be
acted upon. President Freye Andrade
OF the house of representatives, in an
interview with the Publishers Press
correspondent, said tonight:
There Is great indignation among
the Moderates regarding the American
commission proposing peace terms fa-
voring the Liberals. The Moderates do
not sanction the action of the commits
sion In arranging terms favorable to
the revolutionary party and will not
attend the congress. leaving the alter
native of American Intervention or the
Liberals seizing the government. Since
the arrival of the American commits
sioners the revolutionary movement
has grown in strength"
Senior Andrade added that the in
,rease in the numbers Of the insur-
gents is due to the report that the
peace terms included the payment of
revolutionary soldiers. A report, caus-
ed by the receipt by Secretary Taft
OF a cablegram from Washington, was
circulated tonight stating that Ameri-
can troops will land in Cuba today.
The members of the commission re-
fuse to either confirm or deny the re-
ceipt of such a cablegram.

to these there are two seventy kilo-
watt, direct current, 125 volt generators
connected TO Peiton water wheels, used
as exciters to produce magnetism in
the large 1900 kilowatt generators.
The current is taken from the main
generators to a switchboard and this
switchboard is so arranged as to con-
troll the flow of current through what
it known as step-up transformers.
These transformers are six in number,
with one to spare. They receive the
current at 1900 volts and step 1t up to
33 600 volts.
The current leaving the transformer
house passes through high tension con-
troll switches and lightning arresters

THE MAIN LINE.

The main line is built of 30-foot poles
carrying three transmission wires, two
being supported, on a substantial 5X6
feet crosSarm at each end and a third
line being supported on top of the pole.
/ Beneath this transmission line are two
| telephone lines giving connection be-
| tween the power house and the receiv-
| ing station The transmission lines are
of aluminium wire of seven strands
| each, these being spliced together with
aluminium connecting tubes in a very
unique manner. The wires themselves
are supported on high tension insula-
tors manufactured by the Locke In
sulator company These are large
plate-like porcelain affairs. inverted
: and secured to glass pettycoats, the
largest diameter being eleven inches
and the total height being eleven
inches. They weigh thirteen pounds
each and there are a total of over $500
on the line.
The line runs over the mountains be-
tween Wainiha and Lumahai and be-
tween Lumahai and Waikoko through
the valleys of Waioli, Waipa and Ha-
nalei. At the upper end of HanaIei
valley the line rises and crosses the
divide separating Kalihiwai and Wal
lua at an elevation of 1000 feet. 1t then
drops down the ridge into Wailua
crosses Hanahanapuni. Kilohana. Ha-
Xxi, Laval, Wahiawa and into Hama
pepe valley.
At No. 2 pump station in Hanapepe
valley a receiving station has been
built. equipped with four step-down
transformers of S75 kilowatts each
These transformers receive the current
at $4,000 volts and deliver a secondary
voltage of 2200 volts. From these trans
formers the current goes to a switch
board to be distributed to the various
pumping stations and to the mill.
At the present time the only pumps |
