May Yet Save Niagara.


What shall Niagara do to be
saved from whitening into extinc-
ton? As the children of Israel
crossed dry shod over the Red
sea, SO every American now liv-
ing may some day expect to walk
on dry rocks from shore to shore
where now flows the most famous
falls of the continent. DR.. Clark,
New York's state geologist, calcu-
lates that when $4,000 cubic feet
have been subtracted from the
river the American falls will have
dried away. Power hunters haze
already located sites for the
plants that will drain away 400
feet of the river, thus providing
certain doom for the American
splendor, unless swift action be
taken to save it from harness and
humiliation and from advertising
to the world that "we are ready to
coin into dollars every good and
beautiful thing earth Affords

PUNISHMENT FITS CRIME.
Loud Voiced Company in Hunting
Camp Is Eradicated by Talking
Machine Equally as Boistorous.

In a certain fishing and camping
club of the Maine woods that
prides itself especially on its ex-
clusiveness and refinement there
apepared this summer a party the
members of which soon made
themselves distasteful to the 9th
er members of the club by their
loud talking and noisy self-asser-
ton, says the New York Tribune.
Particularly in the dining-room
was this noticeable. There the
newcomers seemed to feel that
they had their fellow guests at
their mercy and could air their
tales of foreign travel and famil-
lar acquaintance with this, that or
the other wellknown man with
out fear of their hearers escaping.
They soon made themselves so OBJ
noxious that the other members
of the club would make careful in
quirv as to the whereabouts of
the loud talking party before ven
turing into the dining-room.
At the beginning of this season.
also, there was presented to the
club from some unknown source
a praphophone of unusually rau-
cous voice. 1t had been promptly
relegated to the attic. but now an
ingenious member had it brought
down and placed in a central po-
sition in the dining-room. The
steward was stationed close by
with a plentiful supply of nickels.
Soon the self-advertisers came in
and the head of the party began a
tale of "When | dined with the
king at Windsor"
simultaneously the steward be
gan feeding in nickels and the ma
chine to sing "a Bit o. Barney
Jasper johnson, Shame on You" "
always in the Way" Il Wonder
Win They Miss Me- "When the
Bees Are in the Hive" Teasing, z
Il Must Been a Dreaming" and
various other selections Of a like
nature for an hour. After that
there was quiet in the dining
room.

HABIT is A DEADENINc ONE
Tendency to Hunt for Flaws Will
Stitie Mental Growth Quicker
Than Anything Else.

A fault-finding, criticising hab-
ii, is fatal to all excellence, says
o. s. Marsden, in Success. Moth
ing will strangle growth quicker
than tendency to hunt for flaws.
to rejoice in the unlovely, like a
hog which always has his nose in
the mud and rarely looks up. The
direction in which we look indi-
Gates the life aim, and people who
are always looking for something
to critieise, for the crooked and
the ugly, who are always suspi
cious, who invariably look at the
worst side of others, are but Civ.
ing the world a picture of them
selves.
This disposition to see the worst
instead of the best grows on one
very rapidly, until it ultimately
strangles all that is beautiful
and crushes out all that is good in
himself. No matter how many
times your confidence bas been be-
trayed, do not allow Yourself to
sour, do not lose your faith in peo.
pie. The bad are the exceptions;
most peope are honest and true
and mean to do what is right.

WHEN TEA FIRST CAME.
Doubt as to Proper Way to Serve II
Resulted in the "Dish
of Tea

History tells us that when COT
fee was first brought to the cities
of western Europe the first max
ers of it were Turks. They roast
ed and ground the liquor, as it is
served to this day in the east, grits
and all, says the London Times.
We still drink coffee as we drank
it then, with this difference, that
we mostly omit the grits and drink
an infusion instead of a decoctl0n.
1t was not so with tea. No China
man was imported with the first
pound of tea to teach us how to
make and drink it. The conse-
quence has been that we have
never drunk tea in the Chinese
way-that is, simple infusion.
At first there seems to have
been great doubt as to how to deal
with the new herb. 1t is even SAID
that it was sometimes boiled,
with salt and butter, and served
up as a sort of spinach. The old
phrase, "a dish of tea" seems to
bear out this legend. Finally II
came to be settled that the most
wholesome and pleasant way to
treat the tea leaf was to make II
into a kind of sweet soup, with
sugar and milk or cream. ! have
personal knowledge of no country
| in Europe, but one where tea i
used as in China-Portugal, whicf
| got its knowledge of tea making
| from a province of China, will
which, at that time, no other ma
ton of Europe was in contact.
1t was while travelling oI
horseback with A guide in th'
wilder parts of Portugal, ava.
4 from shops and inns, where W
| had perforce to make experiment
in the most economical use of tn
| few ounces of tea and coffee tha
| we could afford to carry with us
| that we hit upon discovery
Having no milk, we drank our te
| as most Portuguese drink theirs
i as a simple infusion sweetene
with sugar.
| remembered to have read,
believe in the travels of the Abb
Hue. that when the Chinese d.
sire to be thrifty in the use of tn
finer and more expensive tea
they grind the leaf to powder an
use lessf for the infusion. We foun
tbat tea could be ground in a co
fee mill as easily as coffee; tha
tea made with the powder is a
good or better than when mad
with the whole leaf, and that th
: powder, as it naturally woul'
goes further than the tea leaf.

WHAT MAKES LIcATNa.~
A Thing We Do Not Urt ersters a.
Well as We Thought = Plan
for Weather Bureau.

We are apt to believe great
ly in the progress made ID
electrical research, and to JOY
in our ability to handle the
strange forces Of nature-un
til a thunder storm" wrecks a
house with a bolt whose "spark
gap is a thousand feet, and the
Voltage of which is estimated at
100000. The lightning rod, to
all intents and purposes, is to-
day the identical instrument in
vented by Franklin. The Elec-
trical World publishes the follow
ing on the subject: 1--WE have
rather come to the opinion that
the chief trouble with the light
ming arrester question is still lack
of knowledge regarding the thing
which is to be arrested. We all as
sumo, and probably correctly, that
lightning, being in the nature OF
condensed discharge, is essen
tally oscillatory in its nature.
/ The virtual capacity involved and
hence the frequency is an un-
known quantity, like the poten-
tial concerned in the discharge. 1T
is certain that lightning flashes
sweep over very great distances
ranging from a few hundred feet
up to several thousand, but the
voltage from which these pro
digious striking distances result
cannot yet be evaluated.
sPresent devices for the pro
lection of apparatus and lines
against lightning are based on thu
conception of lightning as a rapiC
oscillatory discharge. 1t is pos
sible, however, that some light
ming at least may have prett.
slow period, or may be dampet
into virtually a single rush, OF
sort which cannot readily b
choked back. Certainly lightning
is of an immensely variable char
acter, so that generalizations re
garding it are altogether unsafe
The trouble with the experimental
study of lightning is the compare
tive rarity of lightning itself a
any one station, rarity that 70
practical purposes is increase

hours Of darkness during whic
