BERLIN is MACHINE MADE.
English Writer Calls 1t Stiff, Rigid,
Rect;linear and Only a
Village.

Was Berlin made last year-or the
year before? 1t is impossible to say
from looking at it. Some of the trees
in the streets look at least ten years
old, but they must have been plant
ed long before the city was thought
of-the houses and the streets and
the lamp-posts and the statues are ali
much too neat and new TO have en-
dured the rains of more than one
winter. 1t is all, in fact, quite too
new TO be comfortable. One feels
afraid to sleep in any Of the houses
lest rheumatism should be lying III
walt in rooms where The plaster has
not had time to harden.
| drove from the station in a
"droshki" with a m~OnstrOusly old
horse. Time had bent his foreless
into a very good imitation of a switch
back railway-and as we ploddeG
solemnly along the brand-new asphalt
roadway, with the brand-new houses
on either side and an occasional
brand-new electric car, with a brand
new driver in a brand-new uniform.
] found myself wondering what thai
old horse must think of it all. One
day he may have been grazing in
an open field-and when he passed.
that way a week or so later he found
a new broad boulevard, with hotels
and shops and churches and great
blocks of flats, all sprung up like
mushrooms.
Berlin, then, is a great deal too
perfect to be satisfactory. 1t is the
machine-made, not the handmade al
ticle-it was very decidedly made, not
born. There is no s%pontaneity in it.,
10 life; compared to, say, London;
it is like a beautiful marble statue
to a living woman.
Berlin is, in fact, IN awful object
lesson to emperors and others who try
to make a capital city out of a re
spectacle village. 1t is easy to put
up imposing b~uildings-if you have
The money-and to cut out broad tree
lined roads and have everything nea'
and nice and ine-but you only make
you village bigger and finer with
out making it any the more a capita
city. There is no getting away from
the feeling that Berlin is a village
a big village-a beautiful, rectllinear.
Observation-Disclosures village, put d

POWER FROM NIAGARA.
SIXTY Per Cent. of Gross Energy
Available for Electric
Current.

Always room for one more power
nlart at NIAGARA. The latest looks to
The lower Niagara river, which rams
so feet in a length Of two and a d
miles. with the whirlpool nearly al the
center of this length. This is o
half the descent OF the great cAtarac'
above and is made by the entire vol
ume OF water that passes over both tne
American and Horseshoe falls, Alton
D. Adams calculates that the unused
power Of these rapids just G anu
below the whirlpool could develop nall
as much Bower as could be developed
by diverting the entire flow OF Niagara
river ut the falls. If the American
fails are to be saved further conceS-
,fons must be limited to the gorge and
lower RAPIDS. His idea is to build pipe
lines between the upper and lower
noints on the rapids. Niagara river
has a normal discharge of $4,000 cubic
feet of water a second, and this wajel
falling 80 feet develops 100000 gross
horsepower Making due allowance
for losses in the pipe line, water
wheels. tailrace and generators, II may
fairly he said that 60 per Of the
gross energy could be delivered as eie2-
tric current if the entire discharge
of the river were utilized. This net
power is twice as great as that Of all
the electric plants now completed and
under construction at Niagara falls.
