This is Mr.. Ralph D. Mershon of New
York. d well known authority on the
transmission OF electricity at high tension.
Mr. MershOn has said that there is no
doubt that this power can he carried for
distance of 600 miles, and he speaks Of
the scheme practical and profitable.
Among the other European authorities
who have investigated ii are Prof Blon-
del of Paris. DR.. Tissot of Basic and Prof
klingenberg of Berlin. l am told that
Lord Kelvin made careful investiga-
ton of it and that the chief German cleo
trical works are interested. and that they
will supply some of the machinery.
Carrying Electricity Six Hundred
Miles.
The scheme involves the carrying of the
juice. or electrical current. for a distance
of 900 miles. and it Is proposed to con-
struct line that long from here to the
gold mines of the Transvaal for the first
installation. This Is much farther than
power has yet been carried in our or any
other country. We are working plants
more than half that far in California.
There are tramways in Oakland which
get their electricity from water powers
140 miles away. and there are certain
stations served by the California Gas
and Electric Company at a distance Of
800 miles. II this plant succeeds 1t Will
result in the power of Niagara Falls
being carried to far beyond Chicago. and
to its utilization in New York. Boston.
Washington. Cincinnati, Indianapolis and
throughout the mighty Industrial beehive
which is inclosed within six-hundred-
mile radius of Buffalo.
AS is now planned. the power will be
carried through aluminium cables as big
around as a mans wrist, and these will
be supported by great steel towers sixty
feet high. Each tower will weigh in the
bedded in cement foundation and will
be made about six times as strong as the
weight of the cables and insulators seems
to demand. An experimental tower was
recently made in Scotland and tested.

radius would come more than thousand
miles of the Cape to Cairo railroad all of
the two thousand miles of the railroads
of Rhodesia and d large portion of the
mines of the Transvaal 1t would COM
prise hundreds of small gold mines I'm
Rhodesia and the great deposits of iron
which lie between the Zambesi and the
Kongo Free State. If the experiments for
smelling by electricity which are now I'M
der way in this country and Europe are
successful the ore from these mines may
be turned into pig iron by the power from
the falls. They will also be especially
valuable to the great copper syndicate
which has been recently organized TO de-
velop the vast deposits just over the
boundary of the Kongo Free State.
AS 1t is now, the Transvaal is said to
be paying something like $15.OO0,OU an
nually for power and a large revenue
should come to the company from the
gold mines alone. The initial plant. which
is to produce $1,000 horsepower. will be
all used by the Rand. and other plants
will speedily follow. The success of the
whole undertaking will depend on whether
the power can be successfully and profit
ably carried to distance of 600 miles. or
about as far as from New York to Cleve-
land.

$i00,C0O year above their operating
expenses. and il Is planned to transmit
the enormous force of Victoria Falls by
wire. not only to the Transvaal. but
every where within a radius of 600 miles
from this point
l have already written of the beauty
and grandeur of Victoria Falls They
surpass Niagara in their scenic effects,
and the engineers claim that they sur
pass il also in the mighty force with
which these millions of tons of water drop
down upon the rocks. They fall with a
thunder like that of artillery. The noise
can be heard ten miles away, and the
spray on a bright day goes up to a
height of LOO feet in clouds or pillars
around.
AS to the exact force of the falls, this
is a matter of scientific calculation. The
engineers claim that they have a posi-
bility of thirty-five million horsepower.
The possibilities at Niagara are put at
seven millions; and if these figures are
correct the Victoria Falls working
force are five times as great as our own.
Not only the falls themselves, but the
descent of the river through forty miles
of gorees may possibly be utilized. AT
any rate. there is no doubt that they
have here a force greater than all the
demands that can be created for many
years to come. and that it may be used
for the building up of an industrial en-
pire which will affect the whole of this
part of the continent.
Thirty-Five Million Horsepower.

total fall of Niagara could be used it

One very serious matter in connection

NO SIN TO END LIFE.
DesPOndent Widow Believed She
Had Right 10 Commit Suicide.


A short time after she had said. 1T is
no sin 10 die by my own hand" Mrs.
Mary Hinton, a widow. hfty-three years
old. was found dead In bed at her home.
222 East Capitol street. at 8 o'clock yes
terday morning. A rubber tube connected
with a gas Jet and with one end in the
woman's mouth showed the means OF
death.
Mrs Hinton was a widow OF Charles II
Hinton. an expert examiner in the Patent
Office. who died suddenly April 81. 1877
She was an Engllshwoman. OF literary
tastes, and her high-strung nature made
her friends fear that the death OF her hus-
band might unbalance her mind.
For some months Mrs Hinton was
melancholy and frequently quoted grew
some epigrams. a short time before she
was found dead. In conversation with
friends. she said. Life is something thar
we have the privilege OF ending when we
choose. When life becomes a burden il
Is everybody's right TO exercise that
privilege. When We have lived more
than our allotted time il Is no sin 10
die by our own hands. Everybody has
the right 70 their own views Of life and
this is my view. When / think il is time
to die l shall end It all"
Persons living in the house with Mrs
Hinton smelled gas escaping from her
room early yesterday morning At 9
o'clock they tried the door and found II
securely fastened. The door was broken
open and Mrs. Hinton was found lying
on the bed with a coat across her face.
A gas tube was IN her mouth. Dr. l. L.
Frederick. who lives directly across the
street. was summoned. He said life had
been extinct for several hours.
