Ex-Pri.oner. Of War.

Miss M. E. Mitchell, Haddam, Conn,
makes an appeal for justice to the ex-
prisoners of war, who suffered every
thing but death. The bill should be
pushed to a finish as soon as possible
before those who are yet living pass
beyond all earthly help. They are
broken in health, and the last roll call
is not far distant. Miss Mitchell is Sec
retary of the Ladies' League.
George D. Hunter, Minnehaha Sol
diers' Home, Minn., is desperately anx-
ious that Congress should do something
for the old prisoners of war at the pres
ent session. He was taken to Ander-
sonville in the Summer of 1864, and
starved almost to death, his weight be-
ing reduced from $50 pounds to 68
when he came out of the prison. Nov.
10. For an infraction of the rules he
was bucked and gagged, and then put
in the stocks, with his neck, hands and
feet made fast, to he SO confined from
sunrise to sunset. Near him were some
boys who were being punished for dig
ging out of the prison. Five of them
had balls and chains on, and were suf-
fering from the bites inflicted upon
them by the hounds which had cap
tured them. He can see them in their
miserable condition yet, and, badly off
as they were, they had pity on him,
and one came limping toward him,
dragging his chain, to give him a chunk
of cornbread and bottle of molasses.
Another gave him a big sweet potato.

GASOLINE Is CONQUERING THE
DESERT,

Automobiles have been found much
more serviceabie and reliable for COM
munication across the far Western des-
erts with the isolated mining camps. An
automobile does not have to have great
quantities daily of water and forage,
such as even the patient, starved, long
suffering mule demands The latest en-
terprise does away with the famous go
mule team" which the picture adver-
tisements have shown us drawing loads
of borax from the Death Valley to the
railroad station. Instead, strong steel
wire cable one and one-fourth inches
in diameter has been laid the 40 miles
across the desert. This remains station
arv, but little four-ton locomotive will
run along it, catching with sprocket
wheels upon an endless chain of links,
catching hold of 16 of these links at a
time, and pulling itself up even so per
cent with its 200-horsepower. 1t will
be vast economy, since, in addition TO
the water and forage required for the
mules, the mortality among them was
frightfully expensive.

appear three times as large, and SO on.
AS the nearest distance at which the
average person can see an object clear
ly is about six inches, it follows that
the diameter of an object three-quar-
tiers of an inch from the eye would ap-
pear eight times the normal size. The
object would then be magnified eight
diameters or 81 times. (The area would
appear 64 times as large.) But an OBJ
ject three-quarters of an inch from the
eye appears SO blurred that none of
the details are discernible. and it is for
this reason that the pin-hole is en-
ployed.
Viewed thru this microscope, f1y's
wing appears as large as PERSONS
hand, held at arms length, and has the
general appearance shown in Fig. }.
The mother of vinegar examined in the
same way is seen to be swarming with
a mass of wriggling little worms, and
may possibly cause the observer TO alb
stain from all salads forever after. An
drop of water, in
which hay has been soaking for several
days, reveals hundreds of little infu-
soria darting across the field in every
direction. These and hundreds of other
objects may be observed in
this little instrument, which costs little
or nothing to make.

LOCATION OF THE YADKIN RIVER DAM.

markable success in spite of the many
obstacles, and to-day cotton mills line
the Southern Railway from Lynchburg
to Atlanta. transformation has been
effected in that country, with the cleo
trio lights of the factories working at
night making cheerful blaze all thru
the mountain region. In the daytime
one sees great stretches of one-Story
factories in such old and sluggish towns
as Danville and Salisbury, and around
them are villages of neat little frame
houses of the New England pattern,
built for the accommodation of the op-
eratives.
The first obstacle which had to be
surmounted was to teach the poor
white trash" to work steadily and un-
remittingly during working hours. A
great proportion of the whites at first
refused to work at all, thinking it de-
grading, but the success of those who
did work and the comforts with which
they surrounded themselves, the ambi-
tions Of the girls to have fine raiment,
at last did their work, and the mills
now experience no difficulty In getting
all the labor that they require.
The next trouble was that the drier
air of the South was not as favorable
to the spinning of fine cotton as the
damper atmosphere of the North. This
has been overcome by producing artifi-
cial atmosphere in the rooms devoted
to the spinning Of fine yarns. In con-
sequence there has been a steady de-
velopment Of the factories and a wider
utilization of the abundant water power
which has hitherto been running to
waste.
There is now under course of con-
struction a water-power project of di-
mensions and importance not surpassed
in the North. Near Whitney, n. c., the
Yadkin River has a fall of 129 feet in
four and half miles, and at the Mar
rows the river falls 80 feet in little
over a mile. 1t is calculated that this
fall will supply 00,000-horsepower,
which if developed by steam would cost
at least 100000 annually. To utilize
this dam is under construction 100,-
600 feet long, with an average hight of
3S feet. 1t has a width of SO feet at
the base to IL feet at the crest and is
being built In the most substantial man
ner. The granite construction is REIN
forced by a concrete core m, and
every precaution taken to mike the
work permanent against any flood which
may assail Il. The water will be taken
from the dam breast by a canal four
and half miles long and permitting a
flow of $500 cubic feet per second, CIV
ing head at the turbines of 1875 feet.
1t is calculated that the total cost of
the dams, canal and power house will
be about $9,000,000, but this will pay
| richly in furnishing power that if gen.
Grated by steam would cost $4,000,000
year. In addition to the power fur
nished directly from the canal, there
| will be an electric power plant installed,
| which will deliver power for radius
of 60 miles. II the demand for power
grows. as is anticipated, some 10000
additional horsepower can be developed
by other dams in connection with the
main one.

Science Notes.

The building of the Lakes to the
Gulf" waterway will be followed by
wonderful development The Missis-
sippi itself is navigable for steamboats,
for 2.161 miles, while small boats go
$50 miles further. It has 55 navigable
tributaries, the aggregate length of
which is 5000 miles.
The Lakes to the Gulf waterway is
needed to furnish an outlet to the ship
building interests OF the Great Lakes.
With cheap iron plates and an entrance
to tidewater. the inland shipbuilders
could compete with any shipbuilding
concern In the world. Steel plates cost
In England 80 per cent less than in
this country. but with these plates
made In the West by the cheap assem-
bling of coal and iron ore upon the
lake shore, no shipwright anywhere
could undersell in the shipbuiIding in
dustry.
