ELECTRIC POWER IN AFRICA.
Plan to Transmit Current 745 Miles
Is Not Approved.

Plan to Transmit Current 745 Miles
Is Not Approved.
1t is gratifying to note that the tech
nical press has sounded note Of warn
ing against the preposterous proposal
to generate hydraulic electric power at
the Victoria falls of the Zambesi river
and transmit it over a distance of 745
miles for use in the gold mines of
Johannesburg, says the Scientific Amer
.can. But, although the proposal to
deliver this power at figure that
would be at once economical to the con-
sumer and profitable to the company
has been ridiculed by the technical
tpress, the lay public is liable to be mis-
led by the scheme, which on the face
of it would seem to hold out tlattering
prospects of success
At the present time the most import
tant transmission of energy for COM
mercial purposes is that from Niagara
to Buffalo, where the distance covered
does not exceed twenty miles. The long
est transmission, according to present
information, is that which is in sue
cessful operation in California, over a
distance of about 900 miles, so that
the proposed transmission line in
South Africa will be $40 per cent longer
than anything that has yet been con-
templated.
According to Prof. William e. Ayr.
ton, who not long ago made a severe
criticism Of the scheme in the London
Times, the Johannesburg mining dis
trict consumes about 100000 horse
power at an average cost of 500
horse power a year. Niagara sends
4,000-horse power to Buffalo, where II
is sold at about $125 horse power O
year, and Buffalo, as we have noted
is distant from Niagara only twenty
miles.
Furthermore, In the neighborhood Oi
Johannesburg are abundant supplies ol
coal, of which an excellent quality car
be delievered on the Rand for from
$3.50 to 50 ton. Even if the VictOriG
Falls plant were to be built and a grea
transmission line constructed it is moi
likely that the important mining indus
tries in johannesburg would be willing
to trust the operation Of their costly
plants to the integrity of few copper
cables extending for over 700 miles
through the wilds Of savage country

QUALITY VS.. EQUALITY.
BY Rev. D. F. Fox, D. D.


Ours is pre-eminently an age of dis
content. We are all protestants. Men
note the glaring inequalities that OBJ
tain, then quote the Declaration of In
dependence to the effect that "All men
are created equal, and are endowed by
the Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which are, life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" From
this they proceed to argue that we are
drifting away from the landmarks
which the fathers have set up. They
at least believed in the equality Of man,
we are told.
Now surely in the temple of justice
all men stand on level floor. Before
the government all men are equal. Our
fathers were taxed NT-hout representa-
ton. This they declared to be unjust,
and In order TO form more perfect
union, establish justice, insure domes-
tice tranquility, provide for the COM
non defense, promote the general well
fare, and secure the blessings of lib

they ordained and established the Con-
stitution of the United States, concern

mated from the brain Of man." And
