POWER OF WATER.
The Great Force u Six Inch Stream
Can Exert.

the Great Force Il Six Inch Stream
Can Exert.
Imagine perpendicular column of
water more than one-third Of mile
high, twcnty-six inches in diameter at
the top and tWenty-four inches in di-
ameter at the bottom, writes Hamilton
Wright in The World Today. Those
remarkable conditions are complied
with, as far as power goes, in the Mill
creek plant, which operates under a
head Of 1860 feet This little column
Of water, which, if liberated, would be
just about enough to make small
trout stream, gives capacity of $500
horsepower, or enough power to run a
good sized ocean going vessel. AS the
water strikes the buckets Of the water
wheel it has pressure Of $50 pounds
to the square inch. What this pressure
implies is evidenced by the fact that
the average locomotive carries steam
at a pressure of 100 or 200 pounds to
the square inch. Were this stream, as
it issues from the nozzle, turned upon
the hillside, the earth would fade away
before it like snow before jet Of
steam. Huge powders, big as city
offices, would tumble into ravines with
as little effort as clover bur is car
ried before the hydrant stream on a
front lawn. Brick walls would crackle
like paper, and the hugest skyscrapers
crumble before stream like that Of
the Mill creek plant.
1t takes a powerful waterwheel to
withstand the tremendous pressure. At
Butte creek, California, single jet Of
water six inches in diameter issues
from the nozzle at the great velocity
of 10000 feet minute. 1t impinges
on the buckets of what is said to be
the most powerful single water wheel
ever built causing the latter to travel
at the rate Of ninety four miles an
hour, making 400 revolutions a minute.
The six inch stream has capacity Of
10000 horsepower. The water for op-
Grating the plant is conveyed from
Butte creek through a ditch and dis
charged into a regulating reservoir
which is 1900 feet above the power
house. Two steel pressure pipe lines
thirty inches in diameter conduct the
water to the power house.

The HelDful Word.

Give the young and struggling a
word Of encouragement when you can.
You would not leave those plants in
your window boxes without water nor
refuse to open the shutters that the
sunlight might fall upon them, but you
would leave some human flower to suf-
fer from want Of appreciation or the
sunlight Of encouragement. There are
a few hardy souls that can struggle
along on stony soil shrubs that can
wait for the dews and sunbeams, vines
that climb without kindly training
but only few. Utter the kind word
when you can see that it is deserved.
The thought that mo one cares and no
one knows blights many a bud: Of
promise. Be it the young artist at his
easel, the young preacher in his pull
pit, the workman at his bench, the boy
at his mathematical problems or your
little girl at the piano, give what
praise you can. d." ;.

The voice which spoke the command
was indignant and imperative, but
Pete Long paid not the slightest atten-
ton to it and coolly went on with his
work. When he had driven in the last
nail which held the notice paper firmly
to the board he had affixed to an up
right post he topped his four foot monu-

rifle and stepped forward few PAGES.

down contemptuously. at the small fig
ure in jumper and overalls standing in
front Of the tunnel.
She put up little grimy hand and
pushed back the sombrero from her
damp forehead, where her yellow curls
clung in wet rings. It had been so hot
working in the tunnel.
(; I""You take down that notice right
away, this minute!' she ordered, her
fearless blue eyes looking straight into
the mans. "This claim Is Leonard's,

Insulting drawl, II always did hear

The blood rushed to Lee BurreHs

proudly as she said:

/ The wolfish gleam in the mans eyes
showed her the madness Of her un-
guarded words, and her glance swerv-
: ed to her rifle, which was leaning
against rock few feet from her.

/ ''That guns all right"
He dropped, on one knee and, rails
ing his rifle to his shoulder, pointed it
in assumed playfulness at her. $50 the

"And what business is that Of

"Lots Of business Amt it mine?

"You needn't try to hide nothin'. You
bet I know the claims rich. And If. it

true no one> knew what she had been

A Su1Reatlve Sermon.

The Rev. DR.. Howard, chaplain to
Princess Augusta, was so fond of good
living that he ran into debt with many
Of the tradesmen in his parish. 1t was
in their special interests that he one
day preached from the text, "Have pa
tience, and l will pay you ALL" He
spoke at great length on the virtues Of
patience and then proceeded, Il now

Horace Hutchinson, the English writ

royal and ancient game. If they take
up western sport with the success with
which they learned the western arts of

out Of Nippon When the Japanese
begin to apply the principles Of jiu jit-

ply muscular force to a golf ball some

The Man Behind the Scenes In Russia


Perhaps the most astonishing fact
connected with this astonishing situa-
ton is that no one knows who it is who
orders the strikes and revolts and d.
rects the revolution throughout Russia
as conductor directs some great Or
chestra-first calling for strength or
fury In one direction, then hushing it
down for time; then again calling for
a fresh outburst Of energy in some new
place, but always controlling and play
ing at will with each wild passion as
it is aroused. Not name has emerg-
ed through the tumult. We only know
that somewhere in the center Of the
storm must be a directing brain or
brains.-London Spectator.
