While the hot air was palpitating with

little men was damned up on the bank,
where a struggling village had come under

and babylike. Occasionally one or other OF
them would suck Intellectually at the ma

more expressively voiced than In the cries
of these little piggies.

She was lank and hungry-looking beast,

In the water, she turned her head round

Long Distance Electric Service.

From the Scientific AnercaD.
1t is gratifying to note that the technt-
cal press has sounded a note of warning
against the preposterous proposal to gem
crate hydraulic electric power at the
Victoria falls of the Zambesi river, ami
transmit 1t over a distance of 745 miles
for use In the gold mines at Johannesburg
But, although the proposal to deliver this
power at figure that would be at once
economical to the consumer and profitable
to tho company has been ridiculed by the
technical press, the lay public is liable to
be misled by the scheme. which. on the
face of 1t. would seem to hold out latter
ing prospects of success. At the present
time the most important transmission OF
energy for commercial purposes is that
from Niagara to Buffalo, where the dis
lance covered does not exceed twenty
miles. The longest transmission. accord
ing to present information. is that which
is in successful operation in California
over a distance of. about 800 miles. that
the proposed transmission line In South
africa will be $40 per cent longer than
anything that has yet been attempted. Ac-
cording to Prof. William +. Ayrton, who
not long ago made severe criticism of
the scheme in the London Times, the Jo-
hannesburg mining district consumes about
$50, 900 horsepower, at an average cost OF
500 a horsepower a year. Niagara sends
"a 600 horsepower to Buffalo. where 1t 10
sold at about S123 a horsepower year, and
Buffalo. we have noted, is distant from
Niagara only twenty miles Furthermore.
In the neighborhood of johannesburg are
abundant supplies of coal, of which ex
cellent quality can be delivered on the
Rand for from $500 to 81 a ton Even IL
the Victoria falls plant were to be built
and great transmission line constructed,
1t is not likely that the important mining
industries in Johannesburg would be will
ing to trust the operation OF their costly
plants to the integrity of few copper
cables extending for over 700 miles through
the wilds of a savage country.

Methods of Chief Croker and

NEW YORK, June 1e.-With the excep-
ton of the higher officers. the pay Of the
firemen in the District Of Columbia under
the new schedule fixed in the bill recently
passed by the House and Senate, compares
most favorably with the compensation of
the men who compose the great fire-fighting
organization of Greater New York. In the
lower grades of privates the pay OF the
District men is actually greater than that
OF the New York firemen.
comparison of the new District pay
table with that of the local department Is
interesting. 1t shows first of all that the
actual head Of the New York department is
civilian commissioner, In most of the
large cities, while the chief engineer Is a
practical fire fighter whose sole attention Is
riveted in his profession. His study of &C
tive service problems is not interrupted or
interfered with by details of office routine.
Chief Cookers great red automobile, equip
ped with a wonderful siren horn and a To-
connective bell, Is known from one end of
Manhattan Island to the other Its dashes
across Brooklyn bridge have also become
famous, and third or fourth alarm fire
In any of the boroughs finds the fire-fighting
head OF the department missing. He re-
ceives salary of 5000 year, or 81 600
more than the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
1Ae executive head of the department, the
fire commissioner, receives an annual conn
pensation of 81 500 while the secretary of
the department is rated at 1850 a year.
The present fire commissioner, John H.

In-short, our industrial great
ness is a thing of the day, and to-
morrow we must look for some
other means wherewith to clothe
and feed and house our millions.
And tomorrow-in less than
fifty years, Mr.. Hill opines-there

and feed. And how shall it be
done?
The soil-that is Mr.. Hills an
swer. We must return to agricuI-
ture, we must begin the develop
ment of the soils resources in
sober earnest. He figures that the
area susceptible of cultivation in
this country is so great that twice
two hundred millions may be fed
therefrom, if necessary. And he
urges that the study of intensive
agriculture be begun at once.
The possibilities of the soil must
be conserved and fostered as the
other natural wealth Of the land
never has been.

MUST RETURN TO AGRICULTURE

James J. Hill, Americas great
est railroad builder and developer,
expressed in a recent speech the
belief that in return to agricul-
ture lay the salvation of our coun-
try. Wastefulness and wanton ex-
travagance in the use of our com
modities, fuel and timber espec-
tally, will bring about this result.
''Back to the Farm" will be the
cry ere long, and it must be needed.
And the man best equipped with
an agricultural education will sue
coed in intensified farming, which
must then be adopted. Hence the
necessity for institutions impart-
ing that kind of instruction.
The agricultural college will
equip the boys of the present to be
the men of the day forecasted.
AS Mr.. Hill says, we have wasted
our forests, and are drawing upon
our mineral reserves as if we had
the whole universe to grasp from.
He points out that the visible
supply of both coal and iron is
limited; and he foresees a day in
the not very distant future when
there viii be a sharp decline in all
the related activities that neces-

Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are i'll, don't hesitate to get a
