The Victoria Falls Power Trans
mission Project.

A scheme has recently been proposed
in an official pamphlet issued by the
British South Africa Company, the main
feature of which is the generation by
hydraulic power of electrical energy at
the Victoria Falls in South Africa and its
transmission at 1900 volts pressure to
the Randi distance of 700 mikes. For
the realization of this scheme, the pro-
moters ask for $3.50, 100000. Interest is
added to this scheme from the fact that
the longest transmission line now in use
is just over 400 miles. There are many
features in this project differing from
those of any similar existing long
distance transmission line, the main
points of which are briefly brought out
in an article in the April Technical Liter
ature.

Permanent Naval Display At
jamestown Exposition.

Norfolk, Va.-While not on so tremen-
dous a scale as in the opening weeks. the
naval display at jamestown will never
theless be maintained in an adequate
manner throughout the entire period of
the Exposition.
The United States government has as
signed three ships to duty right off the
great pier during the seven months and
these will be constantly open to the in
spec ton of visitors. Considering that
the most popular exhibit at the Worlds
Fair at Chicago was an imitation battle
ship built on piles in the lake, the reality
of the jamestown squadron will be of
| the greatest interest to strangers from
the interior. But this is by no means the
! limit of naval representation; the harbor
of Hampton roads, being naval rendez.
vous, is seldom without several war yes
sells lying at anchor, and the ships of the
United States navy are constantly arriv-
ing and leaving this harbor. The Navy
Yard at Portsmouth, and the great ship
! DullulDS PAM dI ANtWpOib NEWS, are
generally crowded with war craft under
construction and undergoing repairs, SO
that no visitor need leave the section
without having his curiosity fully salts
fed concerning naval matters.
Some of the foreign fleets will not ar.
rive until later in the summer, and an
effort will be made to have this govern
ment extend further invitation to the
different naval powers to make Hampton
Roads stopping place for their individ
ual cruising vessels during the period OF
the Exposition. This is frequent occur
renee in ordinary times and with proper
representations to the different govern
ments could be made a feature.
This to correct the impression that the
dispersal of the present fleet signifies the
ending of the naval display. AT no time
during the entire period of the James
town Exposition will there be less thar
twenty-five war ships on the nearby
waters for the instruction and entertain
ment of visitors.

MiddIebury Water Decision.

Middlebury, May 10.-One of the most
important decisions given out this week
was the one pertaining to the dam over
the falls of the Otter creek in this town.
Lawyers representing this village in the
case claimed that the sixty-eight farm
ers who brought the suit against the viii
lage could not as a party bring suit
against this village.
The supreme court overruled this ac-
ton of the county courts and decided
that the farmers could bring suit. All
costs of court up to this time are to be
paid by those using the water going over
the dam.
This case has been in the courts for
several years and was brought because
of the flooded condition of the land along
the river banks.

The college president who figures in
the following incident doubtless suffer
ed a cruel shock at first, but when he
found that his benefactor was acting
in good faith and was thoroughly in
earnest amusement over the situation
must have made some light amends for
his disappointment:
He was on trip to secure an endow-
ment for his institution when he re.
ceived this letter from Lone Tree:
President-Can you preach at Lone Tree
church next Sunday and then go home
with me TO dinner? Mother and me wants
to endow two chairs In your college.
Very truly. JONAS SMITH.
He joyfully accepted the situation
after discovering that Jonas Smith was
a very wealthy farmer. to whom the
endowment Of two chairs would work
no hardship. After the dinner which
followed the sermon the conversation
came to the important subject in hand.
and the farmer said; NOW, know
you can buy good. strong, stout chair
for so cents, but we want to do more
than that for the college, and mother
and me have decided that we are will
ing to give IS cents each to endow two
chairs, one for mother and one for
me-"

Northfie!d's New Water System

The water commissioners of North
field, VT, have just issued an interest
ing report of the villages new water
system. In this pamphlet Mr.. Frank
L. Fuller, civil engineer of Boston, who
has had charge of plans and construc-
ton has given in detail many items of
general interest.
This system is classed as an under
ground gravity system fed wholly by
pure mountain springs from two sources.
The water is stored in two concrete
covered reservoirs with combined ca
pacity of one half million gallons, kept
at temperature above freezing in win
ter and cool in summer. The reservoirs
are near to and at proper elevation
above village to give ample pressure for
fire protection.
Over 8 miles of 10 in. to in. cast
iron water pipe is required to distribute
the water to all parts of the village for
domestic use and to supply the n fire
hydrants.
The pamphlet contains a view, from
the reservoir, OF the business section
of Mortified on the Dog A street
plan showing the pipe line, tables of
bids for reservoir construction, cost of
iron pipe and pipe laying, street dis
tribution of pipe, gates and hydrants,
together with elevations, analysis of
water and a summary of the cost of the
system.
Important features are good sup
ply of pure spring water for domestic
use and manufacturing purposes and a
first class fire protection, resulting in
very liberal reduction in insurance
rates and a feeling of greater security
from fire loss by the business interest
of the village.
Eighty thousand dollars of bonds have
been issued by the village in payment
for the system, three-fourths of which
have already been sold and undoubtedly
the village has a substantial asset in ex-
cess of the debt, and the earnings will
eventually pay that. The completion
of the system will likely increase the
building of new houses in the pleasant
village of Mortified

Ale IN oil the Future Fuel.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. in a
recent address before the American club
at Pittsburg, referred at considerable
length to the work the department is do
ing toward the development of the pro-
duction of alcohol for industrial uses.
He said: "No more coal is being made.
Our wood fuel is getting scarce, and the
supply of mineral oils will some day
cease. 1t is high time we were looking
about for sources of light, heat and pow
er. Other countries are doing this. AL
cohol meets the requirements, and
starchy plants yield alcohol. One of our
explorers last year found the Siberians
at Tomak growing large variety of po-
tato for the alcohol it yields. He brought
half ton of them, which will be dis
tributed this spring among the expert
ment stations" He made the further
statement that corn cobs made 1 gallons
of alcohol to the ton, and sweet corn
stalks 7, and that alcohol could be made
from unmarketable fruit and vegetable
matter and many refuse plants, and
thought the time was surely coming
when the people remote from.wood, coal
or oil would arrange to grow plants rich
in starch for their supply of light, heat
and power.

Getting Customers for Export
Trade.

American exporters have long recog-
nized the fact that one of the greatest
difficulties in securing new customers
abroad is the long wait that must elapse
between the time when the prospective
buyer writes for detailed information
and the receipt of reply. Often further
correspondence is necessary, and months
may pass before any actual business is
done. The elimination of all this letter
writing is prime object of the Ledoux
system, and the illustration Just given
shows how it works.
When he secured permission from the
State Department to try his plan Ledoux
bought a Monograph and set out to
write to every manufacturer and COM
mercial house in the United States which
had reputable rating in the commercial
agencies, requesting the information
needed to prepare his index and soliciting
catalogues and samples. He also wrote
to every American trade newspaper, ask
in that copy be sent to the Prague
consulate to be kept on file in the read
ing-room. AT first responses were slow
in coming, but failing to get reply to
his first letter the interchangeable Consul
would write again, and keep it up until
he either got what he wanted or decided
that he could not get it at that time. To
do all this extra work it was often neces.
sary for the Consul and his assistants tc
work at night; in fact, it is not too much
to say that the greater part of the labor
of establishing the system here has been
done outside Office hours. Ledoux has
economical in other departments where.
ever it was possible without hampering
their efficiency, and has used his private
means to provide the furniture of the file
and reading rooms.-Review of Reviews

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Various Matters from Various
Standpoints.

Last week one of the most atrocous
murders in the annals of crime was
committed in Bennington. In his con-
fession the murderer says he chad been
drinking heavily for week and did not
realize the enormity of the offense."
We hope he gets his deserts at the
hands of the law. The only regret is
that his partner in crime--the man who
sold him his rum-is likely to go scot
free.
1t may not be orthodox, but it really
seems as if punishment, as well as re-
wards, are sometimes too long defer

THE MYTHOLOGY OF GREECE AND ROME

The Interpretation of myth has under
gore such a radical change within re-
cent years as to render most textbooks
out of date. To incorporate the result
of recent investigation into a hand book
that should meet the needs of the young
student of literature has been the cons
tant aim. That is, the book is not a
working over of old material by a dill
ettante, but an actual addition to the SUBJ
ject, timely and needed book, from an
Independent scholar. Most striking are
the rich and numerous illustrations.
