New Workers Living in Hotels.

Wealthy New Workers manifest an
increasing tendency to live out of the
city. Social observers go so far as
to say there are indications that ere
long the families who have longest
been identified with New York will
choose to make their homes in sub
urb and will be satisfied with an oc-
casional visit to town. What is more.
most of these persons, even to the
richest, will prefer to put up at a
hotel or to live in an apartment hotel
when they do come to town instead of
maintaining an establishment of their

Min Yung whan, the Corean prince
who killed himself as protest
against the Japanese protectorate,
lived in magnificent palace of his
own, which came down to him by
hereditary right, and was surrounded
with an army of retslners, fighting
men, slaves and women. He had a
table of beaten silver crusted with the
most precious sapphires. and his state
dress was so heavy with gorgeous
Jewels that It took two men to lift It
over his head. He carried with him
on his travels great white parrot
with rose colored lining on his wings.
The parrots beak was perforated and
each side was set with precious sap
phires.

HAVE PERPETUAL MOTION IDEA.
Many Men of Ability at Work on
This Problem.


In the days of the Maytiower the
first perpetual motion inventors took
out their patents for engines which,
being put in order. will cause and
'mainteyne their own mocions with
continuance and without any bor-
rowed force of man, horse, wind, river
or brooke" and in the last century
they have applied for about 600 pat
ents which are based chiefly on the
force Of gravity less of equilibrium,
specific gravity of floats and weights
immersed in water or other liquid, as
cension of receptacles inflated with
air or gas under water, compression
and subsequent expansion of gases,
and of the surface tension of liquids.
So sanguinely hopeful are these in
genious designers that in many cases
they provide brakes TO stop their ma
chimes if necessary. or to prevent any
dangerous increase of speed. The
care and thought expended on the
principle and detail of many of the in
sentions demonstrates that many men
of mental ability cling to the idea that
perpetual motion is possible and that
they themselves are successfully solv-
ing the problem.

conoressman a Keen Fisherman.

There is no more devout disciple of
Izaak Walton in the house than Con-
gresham Albert Burleson of Texas
He is a born fisherman. In his opin-
ion. fishing is the finest sport and
recreation on top of the earth. Burle-
son has fine collection of fishing
tackle and his rods are the prettiest
ever. He is not a picture fisherman,
one who loves to sit in front of the
fire and discourse on the possibilities
of the sport, but is an active sports.
man. No opportunity ever slips by
him TO take day off and try a fly at
bass and trout Some of the stories
he tells-or rather the stories his
friends tell--of his prowess with the
reel and rod are wonderful The
beauty of 1t is they are all true and a
few can be substantiated by snap
shots.

POWER PLANTS FOR NIAGARA.
Scheme Now on Foot to Utilize the
Lower River.

Scheme Now on Foot to Utilize the
Lower River.
Always room for one more power
plant at Niagara The latest looks To
the lower Niagara river, which falls
eighty feet in a length of two and
half miles, with the whirlpool nearly
at the center of this length. This is
about half the descent of the great
cataract above and is made by the en-
tire volume of water that passes over
both the American and Horseshoe
falls. Alton ID. Adams calculates that
the unused power of these rapids
just above and below the whirlpool
could develop half as much power as
could be developed by diverting the
entire flow of Niagara river at the
falls. If the American falls are to be
saved further concessions must be
limited to the gorge and lower rap
ids. His idea is TO build pipe lines
between the upper and lower points
of the rapids. Niagara river has a
normal discharge of $4,000 cubic feet
of water a second, and this water
falling eighty feet develops 100000
gross horse power. Making due allow
ance for losses in the pipe line, water
wheels. tailrace and generators, it
may fairly be said that 90 per cent of
the gross energy could be delivered
as electric current if the entire dis
charge of the river were utilized. This
net power is twice as great as that
of all the electric plants now complet-
ed and under construction at Niagara
