| am afraid that they will be bitterly
disappointed with the result.
AT our main receiving near
the Rand an entirely new departure
will be introduced through the utiliZa-
ton of system Of hydraulic storage.
So far as we can discover, this eX-
pedient has never been previously en-
plOyed in connection with long-dis-
lance transmission.
The main purpose of this device
is to prevent waste of power. In any
industry-and mining is no exception
there are slack hours. Between
shifts, power is in full swing. Never
theless, the water does not cease to
fall over the lip Of the falls, the tur-
bineS continue to generate current,
and If our customers do not use 1t,
the power will be wasted. To prevent
spare power available, use it to pump
water into reservoir at the top of a
high hill, where it will constitute a re-
serve supply Of energy. We can then
allow it to run down again through
pipes to the bottom Of the hill, and
we shall thus be able to constitute at
pleasure an artificial waterfall and by
its use regenerate power.
when the line reaches the Rard, it
will be worked in conjunction with
large steam-driven reserve station.
Our customers will therefore have
triple security.
Consider, too, the eject which the
development Of power at the falls up
on large scale may have upon the
future destinies OF South Africa. The
establishment Of great industries at
the falls themselves, the supply of
water for irrigation to agriculturists,
and the provision of cheap power to
the mines in the Transvaal, will all
tend to give greater employment to
European labor, and will help to
redress the balance between white
and black"

You test Strawberries as you test
port wine, by the color, the odor, and
the flavor. And there are few winter
berries that will meet this test. It
is like the port wine story.

America is to witness the next

st, Louis has been designated rs the
Hight city by the Aero Club of
America because of its central loca-

concert and with great promptness to
meet the situation that has arisen in
Morocco, A warship of each of these
powers is now in the harbor of Casa
blanca, and three French and one
Spanish men-of-war are en- the way to
Morocco.
France has proposed to Spain the
immediate landing of French and
Spanish troops at Casablanca, and in
anticipation of a favorable reply has
prepared three transports at Toulon
to convey $500 men and 800 horses to
Morocco. What further steps, if any,
have been contemplated have not
been made public. A slight delay and
embarrassment in meeting the situa-
ton is caused by the absence Of Pre-
mier C~lemenceau, who is at Karlsbad
taking the cure.
An official communication says that
the action of the powers in Morocco
is limited to that granted them under
the Algeciras convention.

Helena, Ark. NJ. Scott, city

had entered his head.
A montn ago an attempt was made

tc the rear of his office by a noise,
and on approaching to ascertain the
cause of the noise, two shots were
fired at him. He began firing in re-

months ago, which forced the resigna-

in all, Infatuated men and women
in four different parts of the
city, attempted to take the law in
their W hands because of the inabil-
ity of the authorities to cope with the
unparalleled number of crimes against
women and children.
Nine attacks were reported to the
police. In one instance a moose was
placed around the culprit's neck. He
was about to be lynched when he was
rescued by the police. In another an
innocent man was pursued by thou
sands in Harlem, beaten into insensi-
bility and is now dying.
In the Tenderlcin a man was at
tackled for trying to lure a little girl.
The police had to draw their revolv-
ers and use their night sticks to keep
the crowd from killing him.
Three men were caught attempting
to drag two young girls under a bridge
in the Bronx. A great crowd gathered
and stoned the men and the police all
the way to the station house. The
scream of another child in Brooklyn
saved her from a fiend.
A woman in the Bushwick section
of Brooklyn was attacked violently in
the Bronx, and almost strangled to
death.

ment, saying the police were unable

SECRETARY SAID WEEK AGO:

DECISION NOT MADE THEN
Metealf Not to Resign-eeneralIy Ex-

Oyster Bay, n. Y.-Secretary to
the President William Loeb, Jr,
when asked if Secretary of the Navy
Metcalf had been asked to resign
from the cabinet because of his state
ment a month ago that the Atlantic
fleet was to start for the Pacific this
fall, said:
Such a report Il absurd. Mr.. Met
calf's resignation will not be asked.
The fleet is to go to the Pacific, there
fore, Mr.. Metcalf was right"
Had the decision been made to
send the feet to the Pacific when Mr..
Metcalf made his statement" Mr..
Loeb was asked.
NO" Secretary Loeb said. "The
President had issued no order at that
time. 1t was decided later on.
Nothing to Do With War Talk.
You may say this: The sending of
the ships to the Pacific has nothing TO
do with the recent war talk-nothing
whatever. 1t has been decided to give
the navy some good practice work
81 don't know when the feet will
start or how long the cruise will take.
The start will be made when the Pres
ident gives the word, and, so far as
know, he has not yet decided the
time"
Secretary Loeb would not deny that
the decision had been reached at a
conference between the President and
Acting Secretary of the Navy New
berry last Monday.
On leaving Sycamore Hill that day
Mr.. Newberry, who had insisted posi-
any sort had been issued by the Pres.
ident, said the feet would probably"
go.
One week ago In discussing the pro.
posed cruise of the battleship feet,
Mr.. Loeb said positively the President
had issued no order for the cruise and
he could say with equal ~positiveness
the President had never expressed a
desire for the fleet to visit the Pacific
There has been no change in the
battleship situation" Mr.. Loeb said in
that interview. 81 can say precisely
what l said before: That the Presi.
dent has issued no order for the de-
parture of the fleet to the Pacific or
any other waters"
President Roosevelt is now waiting
for a report from the navy board as
to the condition of the various ships
before determining upon the starting
time for the cruise. October is the
month most talked of for the depart,
