TANNING | RIVER.
How tho Erratic SusgurIunna Has at
 Last Been iinrncsscd.
lFrom lhe reehnLeaI WorIdl

tt'rom the Technical WordD
 Although with the exception of the St. Lawrence river it is the largest stream flowing into the north Atlantic, the Sus0uchanna river has never been renowned for anything but scenery and trouble
 Since the timber has been stripped from It's mountainous drainage basin, embodying an area of 2700O square miles. the floods of the Susquchanna have been extremely sudden violent and destructive, Not infrcqucntly it attalns to the remarkable record of a flow at high water equal to twenty five times it's volume at low water.
 Large as it Is, the erratlc Susque- hanna is nayigable for only five miles above It's mouth Beyond that point it is so full of rocks and shoals and rapids that nothing but an occasional raft at high water has ever passed down.
 Such particularly outrageous stream is the susquehanna that 1t Is difficult to find room upon 1t even to navigate a forryboat comfortably. one of those quiet reaches is McCaIl'9 Fer ry, where a part of Washlngton's ar my crossed on its way to do up Corn wallis at Yorktown The commander himself crossed at Conowiugo Ford, fourteen miles below
 At this historic spot some clever engineers are demonstrating that the Susquehanna is good for something after all, for they are building a hydro electric power plant which Is remark able. Not the least interesting fea- ture Is the extraordinary care with which tho situation was studied before plans were formed, To be sure engi- neers are proverbially palnstak king, but in this case a new record for thoroughgong accuracy was estah- lished. It was the highest tribute that man could pay to the terrors of the Susquehanna.

Court Decides That Prince Does Not Exercise Pernicious h. fuence Over Young
 Castellanes.
COUNT CAN SEE THEM
Boys May Not Leave Continent With out Courts and Counts pCrmis- sion--Nindicatio of
 Princess.

Paris, Dec, So-The petition of Count Boni dc Castelane that the custody of his three sons be given to his mother the Marquis de Castellane, was denied to-day The court ruled that the ehll- dren remain in the custody of their mother, the present Princess de Sagan, who before she married de Castellane, from whom she secured a divorce, was Miss Anna Gould of New York,
 The court ruled further that the chill dren should not leave the Continent without its permission. Beginning Oc- tober 19, 1909, they are to be placed at a college situated within one hundred miles of Paris.
 In his petition the count attacked the character of his former wife and the Prince de Sagan, The decision of the court Is considered vindicatlon of the Princess Anna.
 The rights of the count to see his children are not greatly changed by the decision of to-day. He will see them twice week regularly. Before they are placed In school he will have them with him also New Years day and Easter of next year, as well as for six weeks running some time between now and october.
 After october l9, when the two oldest boys will be sent to school, preferably in Normandy. the count and the Prin- cess de Sagan will see the children equally during vacation, and each will have equal rights in the matter of wis its to the school The youngest boy will remain with his mother until he Is ten years old, when he will join his brothers The children cannot leave France without the consent of their father,
 The court non-suited the Marquise de Castellane, who was an intervening petitioner, and condemned her to pay the costs.
 The court did not uphold the conten- ton of de Castellane that the Prince de Sagan exercised perncious infu- ence over his children. While the prince and his former wife were i'm prudent before their marriage, nothing had occurred since to indicate that the interests of the children were endan- gered
 In conclusion the magistrate pointed out that the decision handed down to- day could be changed any time that the conditions in the de Sagan' house. hold were found to threaten the wei fare of the young people,

ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR ENGINES

The Maine Central is to try the ex- pertinent of electric headlights for its locomotives. This is not new ex. pertinent in Maine, the Bangor and Aroostool having tried them in 1909. The lights tried by tho B. and A, differ from those which the Maine Central will use in that they were supplied with electricity by small dynamo, while the new ones receive their cur- rent from a storage battery The Canadian Pacific has been using this new type of light for some time, and 1t is said is going to equip all loco- motives with It. Pullman 7t was wearing one of the new electric head lights when 1t went through Wator- vile Friday. The headlight went back OH Train 6i Saturday and was broken. the heat generated being too strong for tho glass. Tn other ways, however, tho light proved it's efficiency on the trip. When some improve ments are made in the model now In use the light will be much superior to the ones than have been in use.- Lewiston Journal

TARIFF REVISION
 DONE IN SECRET Changes in Schedules as Put Into New Bill Will Be Kept From All Till Final
 Report, REAL FIGHT IN SENATE. Committee Fears It Will Be Besleged by Interests Affected-Novel Plan for Automatic Slid
 ing Scale.
REAL FIGHT IN SENATE

Washington, Dec. 2s.--Although the entire country is deeply concerned in the work that is being done by the tariff framers the daily deliberations of the house subcommittee are so well guarded that practically no relia- ble information as to the changes that have been decided upon Is ob- talnable.
 It is contended as an argument in favor of secret sessions that If the decisions reached by the committee were made known the members of the committee would be besleged by the representatives of those interests which would be affected by the pro- visions of the new measure. Fur thermore, 1t is claimed that the de- eisions reached are not final until the completed bill is reported 10 the full committee.
 When the bill reaches the senate 1t is believed that the real fight against the proposed changes in the present schedules will be made If the senate makes many amendments to the measure, as reported from the house, the special session of congress that is to be called in March probably will continue into the middle of the summer.
 Among the newest of many novel suggestions made to the committee Is one outlining a plan for an automatic self-adjusting tariff, submitted by A. M. Stillman of Pensacola, Fla. MT Stlllman proposes q sliding scale for the tariff rates on the principal ar ticles imported, the rates to change automatically with the market prices. He describes his principle as follows.
 "A basic price for each commodity is to be fixed by act of congress. Whenever the market price of com modty is the same as this basic price, the present rate of duty on that com modity Is to be in force; but when the market price rises the tariff rate falls and the tariff rate automatlcal- ly adjusts itself to the market price,
 "To provide duty on a commodity without restricting the selling price of that commodity is Illogical contn- ucd Mir Stillman. "The republican idea of the tariff is all for the manu- facturer or producer; the democratic idea is all for t9ne consumer Either view embodles only half the truth"
