ODD WATER WHEELS.
Some Float on Streams-Hu9e Ones
Make . River Lift Itself.

some Float on StreamR-Huge Ones
Make q River Lift Itself.
The people OF Syria and Tifis make
their streams do things that Americans
do not seem to have learned the secret
Of persuading the water courses Of this
country to perform.
At Tifiis the natives have learned
how to utilize the power of the current
of the river Kur without building
dams. What they have accomplished
possibly might be done by an Ameri-
can farmer living on the banks Of
rapidly moving stream and desiring
small cheap power. The Caucasians
build floats on the surface of the river.
Into them are set water wheels. The
whole affair Is fastened to the bank in
such way that it will rise and fall
with any change In the level of the
surface of the river, SO that the power
Is about constant all the time.
In Hama, the ancient entering in of
Klamath" the Syrians have accomplish
ed feat that makes one think of lift
ing oneself over fence by Juggling at
ones bootstraps. They have harnessed
the historic Orontes, or Nahr ell Ash, as
the Syrians call 1t, into the work of
lifting itself many feet toward the ze-
NTH and trained it thus to water their
fruitful gardens and orchards.
As for size, the water wheels which
do this work are as to other water
wheels what Niagara is to other water
falls. AS one stands by one of these
great wooden frames revolving upon
Its wooden axle and looks up at its
perimeter forty feet above one thinks
1t large and Is astonlshed when he
turns his gaze up stream to see that
relatively 1t is not great Wheel for in
the distance looms up one sixty feet in
height. Even then he is not prepared
for the spectacle of one ninety feet III
diameter grunting around on it's cum
brous axle just outside the town.
Life in Hama for some people is
like the liking of others for olives, an
acquired taste, because of these very
water wheels. According as one feels
about 1t, it is a musical city or one
| filed with nerve racking groans. Day
and night without ceasing these mass
i've, slow revolving structures utter
speech. For those who have acquired a
taste for their companionship the never
ceasing tones are soothing, resembling
the ocean roar or slow fugue played
on some cyclopean organ. The dia
| pason tones are deeper and louder thar
the deepest organ stop. Now they are
| In unison, now repeating the theme
| one after another, now for brief mo
ment in sublime harmony never tt
be forgotten, according to one traveller
then once more together In a tremen
dous chorus. The sounds are describ
ed as a slow movement up the scale
followed with heavy drop to the key
note as: Do mi sol, do do do; do sol la
do do do. This unceasing SisypheaI
music, it is said, has been going OF
for a century at least.-New Yorl
Tribune.

The Color of Flames.

You have often noticed the many
tinted bars and bands that rise in the
shape of 'forked tongues Of flames"
from wood burning in the CRATE. 1t is
ten to one, however, that you never
have thought to figure on the cause of
the variegated hues presented by
flames To bring the matter quickly
to the point, we will say that the many
colors are the result of combustion
among the different elements of the
wood. The light blue is from the ny
drogen and the white from the carbon;
the violet is from the manganese, the
red from the magnesia and the yellow
from the soda, which are constituent
parts Of the wood
