poes It Pay To Be a Lawyer?

From the Ohio Magazine.
 In the United States today there are more than 175000 lawyers-more than in any other profession or calling save teach ing and medicine. Tn addition to this number there are thousands of young men in law offices and colleges educating themselves for the lava mighty army of legal representatives fighting and pre- pairing to fight the battles of life.
 In one city alone there are more than 10000 lawyers three-fourths of whom are wholly dependent upon the incomes from their practice as a means of livelihood. While from 30 to 50 per cent are success. ful practitioners, with good incomes and a monopoly upon the better class of law business, it is safe to say. that the re- nianing 50 ped cent make on an average less than s1200 a year.
 In many law offices in our larger cities YOU will find half dozen or more lawyers occupying merely clerical positions and working for others, like insignificant cog wheels in mighty machine, on salaries of from S15 to S25 a week. and who con- graduate themselves that they are able to hold their positions.
 A motorman on a street car receives from s15 to s25 a week for his services and he is sure of his money. clerk in a dry goods store, railroad or insur- ance office receives from $20 to $25 a week
 A bank clerk is paid from $75 to s15O a month. A skillful mechanic or machinist earns from $3 to s10 day.
 Many business men command salaries of from $5O00 to $25,000 year. travelling salesman sells goods on commission and earns from s1O00 to $5000 year and per haps more. A reporter on daily news paper makes more money than the aver age lawyer.
 What does it mean? Wake up, young lawyers, wake up! In the face of these conditions is it not time that you were asking yourself the question, Does it pay to practice law?

Nearing the End.

From Everybody's Magazine.
 Joe Lincoln, whose Cape Cod folks are well-known characters. recently attended a lecture. When asked how he. liked it, he related this little story:
 A stranger entered a church in the middle of the sermon and seated himself in the back pew. After a while he began to fidget. Leaning over to the white hair ed man at his side, evidently an old member of the congregation, he whis- pered:
 How long has he been preaching?'
 Thirty or forty years, I thinli,'' the old man answered. "I don't know ex- actly."
 "I'll stay then" decided the stranger ''IIe must be nearly done"

~ power. obtained from water power, was transmitted distance of los miles with loss of only 25 per cent. The alter hating current installation al Telluride. Col. was even more efficient.
 These few installations immediately attracted the attention of such eminent engineers and inventors as Edison Tesla. Thomson Houston. Lord Kelvin, and others and the transformer was de- veloped into the wonderful machine of today which brings the mountain tor rents to the heart of the industrial cities of the plains.
 Nearly 100 cities in the United States alone are today using electricity sup piled by transmitted water power Ten years ago Niagara Falls was a scien- tihc interest only, today it is distribu- ting over 100, 900 horsepower to Buffa To, Syracuse, Rochester Toronto. and other smaller places. Spiers Falls north of Saratoga. which supplies the industrial cities of Schenectady Am sterdam, Troy and Albany with cleo trical current was practically unheard of: no nan had so much as dreamed of harnessing the Kern river, the Feather river or any other stream in the Sier- ra Nevada range which now supply every city on the Pacific coast with cheap electricity. The great water power development in the south along the Yuba and Yadkin rivers were not even spoken of. The transmission or water power has increased manufactur- ing to a very marked degree The popu- lation of cities provided with cheap cur rent has increased as misunderstanding plants focked to the places where eco nomical power was available. Millions of pounds of coal have been saved and the electrical industry has been stlm- rlated to new and greater possibilities.
 Among the larger cities which receive greater portion of their electricity rom transmitted water power are the follow

 transformer has no moving parts. In shape and outline it looks not unlike a large oval boiler. The interior mechan- ism consists of large coils of wire in- sulated with oil. A cooling device is attached to keep the temperature below the danger point
 1t was but b years ago when the first 10.O00 volt transmission line in this coun- try was opened in Southern California transmitting single-phase current from San Antonio Canon to light Pomona and San Bernardino, distant 14 and 2S miles. There were two banks of small transformers raising the pressure from 1000 to 10,00O volts. In all, there were 40 six-kilowa tt transformers-the largest of that day. A comparison of these insignificant machines with the six monster transformers being constructed by the General Electric com pany at Schenectady, N Y.,- for the Great Western Power company of California full demonstrates the wonderful ad- vancement of high tension transmission These giant machines each stand over 20 feet high, weigh 12S00O pounds and will send 14000 electric horsepower at pres sure of 100000 volts, with the remarkable efficiency of ss.6 per cent, a distance of 12S miles. One of the very first water power stations to transmit alternating current was the Gold King mine, at Tel luride. Colo, in 1890.
 It was in 1877 that Dr. William Sic mems indicted the possible commercial importance of electrical transmission for considerable distances. About this time Marcel Duprez, Frenchman, was experimenting in electrical transmits sion and successfully sent three horse power a distance of 25 miles over or dinary telegraph wires using pres sure of 2000 volts; but he obtained It the motor only 32 per cent of the en- ergy expended-a very serious loss. In 1889, M. Hillairet of Paris successfully transmitted 260 horsepower 10 miles to actuate a motor in a paper mill. All these first transmissions were of direct current. In 1891 alternating current was employed in the Lauffen Frankfort.

being washed. In this electrical age this can now be easily done. In St. Louis there is a laundry which specializes on hurry work The clothing is washed and wrung by motor power dried with cleo trio fans and electric heaters and ironed by electricity. The whole operation takes less than a half hour
 Physicians have great hopes in the electric light as a pain killer. Experi- ments are now being carried on in New York The patient is subjected to what is known as the 1ucidescent light To- cused by parabolic refiectors. The light is turned upon the seat of pain for 10 or 20 minutes at a time, much care being taken not to burn the flesh. In most instances the pain is lessened or stopped altogether.
 It is said that plant discovered in Nicaragua appears to be charged with electricity At certain times of the day if the plant is touched distinct shock will be felt. Its influence upon the mag netic needle is very noticeable.

There is no apaprent limit to the vari- ous things the electric current is asked to do. From shearing sheep and dogs and plucking ducks, to the other extreme of making music and the production of dia- monds lies multitude of uses for the mysterious force. Electricity Is, or can be, used in every plane of life, in every profession, all trades and in all amuse- ments.
 Twelve electric omnibuses in PhiIadel- phia have proven commercial successes The number will be increased to fifty as soon as possible.
 Five thousand electric flatirons are be- i-~ erodueed every week at the Lynn,
 -, -aclory of the General Electric company
 A 50,000 volt. 4O-rnile transmission line supplies electric power to Minneapolis from the St. Croix river. At sub-sta- ton at the city limits the voltage is re- duced to 13,S00 at which pressure the va rious stations and sub-stations of the Minneapolis Electric company are sup piled.
 Sometimes it is desirable to plate large castings with copper or other metal, but it is impractical because of the large size vat which would be necessary. The new method of applying the electroIyte is to use a paint brush attached to one pole of the source of current. A smooth. ad- herent and strong coating of metal may thus be built up to any desired thickness This process has been found successful in plating with silver, gold, copper and nickel
