SIX HUGE PYTHONS LAND.
Largest Snakes In Captivity Come

10 America from East indies
New York. May 11.-Six huge pythons.
considered the largest ever captured. each
measuring about forty feet in length. oc-
eupied the imperial suite on board the
steamship Indrania, which arrived In port
to-day from Manila via Singapore and
other Eastern ports.
The pythOns were purchased by Capt.
McFaddon for the Bronx zoo. A seventh
died few days after the ship left Singa-
pore because, Capt. MeFaddon said, of
homesickness for the Indian jungies.
Four of the pythons escaped while the
lndrania was crossing the Indian Ocean,
and We're captured after an exciting
chase
The Indrania reported a pleasant pass

THE DEVELOPMENT OF
 ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION
Invention of the Transformer Enabled Engineers to Harness Distant Waterfalls and Bring the Power to Industrial Centers to Turn Wheels and Light Streets and Houses-Cities that Use Long
 Distance Power.

The development of electrical trans mission of energy was, without a doubt, the greatest boon to the industrial world in the history of manufacturing The invention of the transformer enabled the engineer to harness most distant water
 falls and to bring the power within the industrial centers to turn the wheels of mills and factories, light the streets, sup ply power for the street cars and illum- mate the buildings. Without this machine hundreds of thousands of horsepower now in daily use would still be tumbling to waste down the far away waterfalls and swift-flowing mountain streams.
 Industries require excellent shipping ia
 cilities, so the mills and factories could not go to the distant inland water falls The transformer is the machine which brought the mountain to Moham- med. Now the water power is changed to electrical power and transmitted over slender copper wires to the manufactur- ing oenters.' Fifteen years ago this would have been impossible because, without the transformer, the current could not be raised to send it under pressure for any distance. Low voltage would require large transmission line and a heavy loss in current. By way of explanation, if the water power itself were to be transmitted any distance at low pressure it would take q large canal to carry the required amount of water; but if the water could be sent under high pressure small pipe would carry a good many hundred horsepower. The transformers raise the voltage and send the electrical current under high pressure over a very small wire and so great is this pres sure that thousands of horsepower can be sent to great distances over small wires with very little losses.
 In the past 10 years the transformer has grown from a few kilowatts to few
