INSIDE OF A DAM.
Unique Power House Near Baltimore
Constructed Under Water

An absolutely unique power plant has
recently been completed about fifteen
miles below Baltimore on the Patapsco
river. 1t is built within a dam and is
entirely under water 1t is the first of
lis kind ever built and cost much less
than it would have if built i'll any other
known way.
The dam is 22O feet long. 10 feet thick
ut the base and 26Ia feet high. The
sp!lway is los feet long, but at present
only los feet of this distance is used
for housing the power plant. The dam
is OF reinforced concrete, the she'll be-
ing is inches thick at the bottom and
tapering at the top.
The apron extends only half way down
from the crown, says the Electrical
World, the remaining down stream pOr-
ton being entirely open and provided
with windows by means of which the
interior is lighted. The shape of the
apron is such that the water is thrown
some little distance away from the win
siOws.
The part used 10y the power house is
lifted with Il false ceiling hung five feet
from, the inside of the dam so as to
protect the apparatus from any water
that might seep through the outer shell
of the dam. The dam is built of fine
and rich mixture, which was laid very
wet Aside from this no precautions
were taken to eliminate water.
The water is fed to the turbines
through steel pipes passing through the
up sCream spillway shell and discharged
by draft tubes into the base of the dam,
dropping :itto we'll sunk some three
feet below the river bed. The water
passes thence by way of a channel con-
Structcd in the river bed. out of the dam.
The intake is 5l5 feet below the crest
Of the spillway so that the trash racks
are kept clear OF drift wood, etc.

FLOATER IS IDENTIFIED.
Madison Authorities Believe Evanston
Man Was Murdered |

MADISON, Wis, Sept 23-A body
found in Lake Waubesa, eight miles
south of Madison, on July 30 last, has
been identified as that OF Benjamin
Ticholsen. aged AZ years, coachman
of Evanston, Ill. The authorities here
are unable to determine whether it was Il
murder or an accidental DEATH
The day before the body was found
some one drew the balance of the dead
mans savings from the Evanston bank
amounting to $50. This fact and the
disappearance of the rest of the money
cause authorities to believe Tichlosen
was murdered.

and all of them true, but there the saloon.
Nor would it matter that this his first ven

1t was not certain that she would believe him, and
anyway, if she did, he had notion that she might
regard his as a pretty swift descent
His college education had never been particular
ly useful to him, but he had tried not to let it him

always had been a satisfaction in the thought
that between him and politer civilization

ever.
"Yu see, a day so orter that, meets the
school marm," he went on. Run plum bang into

to run, and at sight of me she breaks out into
a grim and before knows it we was just a. shak-

"Just had heard about my sellin' out" she said,
"and wanted to congratulate me on my dec1din
to quit such sinful business. Was powerful glad
she'd been inspired to say the right thing to make
me do it. Hoped I'd come over to her house

had turned green in spots and the brim was
horribly frayed Slim enough evidence indeed,
of a respectability in the back of ones life, but
ages in advance of the tremendous broad brim
which shaded Broffy.
He arose and tumbed the stool back into the
tent. No easy plan had come to him, but he
felt that he should hesitate longer. 1t was
unfair to permit her to waste more money max
ing improvements while in ignorance of the real
value of her settlement He would go to her,
and must trust to inspiration for the right thing
to say. Then he surveyed himself in the bright
side of the lid of the lard can, and nearly backed
out.
Making wry face, he dropped the lid with
clatter, and, gripping himself by an effort, he
started forth. Then sudden resentment against
Broffy and his kind filled him. 1t was just an
other instance of evil association, for it is GER
tain that he had lived too long on the plains
with them. The nervous chill which raced along
his back bone as he walked was evidence Of
that. But he pushed on recklessly, straight
ahead until within thirty feet of the little shack,
and had received the full glare of two very sus-
picious blue eyes.
Then without slackening his gait his hat rim
cutched in kind of salute, he tip-toed a wide
detour and passed on into town and to Broffys.
That gentleman, in his shirt sleeves, was seated
