Engfneera Claim They Have Posst-

Frank j. Carpenter writes interest
ingly of conditions which prevail at
the Victoria Falls In Rhodesia, Africa
The financial arrangements for har-
Messing the Niagara of the Zambesi
have been completed. Within the past
few months London syndicate has
been formed, with paid up capital of
$15.0Oo,0OO. and surveys are now max
ing for the installation of one of the
greatest electrical plants Of the world.
The works which the new syndicate
has in operation about Johannesburg
and in the gold mines will pay some
thing like 100000 year above their
operating expenses, and it is planned
to transmit the enormous force of Vic.
toria Falls by wire not only to the
Transvaal, but everywhere within ra.
dius Of GOO miles from this point.
The beauty and grandeur of Victoria
Falls are beyond description. They
surpass Niagara in their scenic effects
and the engineers claim that they sur
pass 1t also in the mighty force with
which these millions of tons of water
drop down upon the rocks. They fail
with q thunder like that Of artillery
The noise can be heard 10 miles away
and the spray on bright day goes ur
to height Of 1000 feet in clouds OF
pillars of mist which are visible for sc
miles around
As to the exact force of the falls, this
is a matter of scientific calculation
The engineers claim that they have
possibility of 100000 horse power
The possibilities at Niagara are put at
100000; and If these figures are cor.
rect the Victoria Falls, as a working
force, are five times as great as or
own.
Not only the falls themselves. but the
descent of the river through 40 E..ies
of gorges may possibly be utilized. Al
any rate, there is no doubt that they
have here a force greater than all tho
demands that can be created for many
years to come. and that it may be used
for the building up or an industrial.
empire which will affect the whole OF
this part of the continent.
Have you any conception as to What
35,000,0O0 horse power means? If the
total fall of Niagara could be used il
would equal the latent power of 100000
tons of coal every day. This power
here, at the same rate, would daily
equal the force of / 100000 tons of coal
SO that, figuratively speaking, 100000
tons of black diamonds are dropping
down into this gorge every "a hours
In other words the Victoria Falls
every two weeks supply an energy
equal to that of The yearly coal output
of the State Of Alabama and in one
year. If their volume were the same
from season to season, they would nj.
most equal the force contained in all
the coal mined in tbe United States in
one year. Our total oroduct of coal Is
now 81, 100000 tons per anlum.

GASOLINE for washing.

Too many people tell of their failure
in gasoline washing. In nine cases out
of ten, the reason is that too little gaso-
line is used. If you wash with water
you usually take good basinful or
pailful, but, when you wash with gaso-
line, you are apt to put a cupful into
a generous-sized pail. This, of course,
is just enough to stir UP the dirt and
TO distribute it in gray tone all over
the lace, gloves or what not - be
cleaned. Take generous bowlful Of
gasoline and wash your gloves, laces
wells, neckwcdr, ribbons and silken ac
cesSories; then rinse them in plenty of
clean gasoline After using. if you viii
let the gasoline stand for a few mo-
mants, all the dirt viii settle and you
can carefully pour off the clean gaso-
line to use at another operation. To
clean gloves, put them on the hands
and scrub with a little brush, after
ward rinsing them like pocket hand
kerchief. Silk washed in gasoline loses
none of its dressing: feathers lose none
of their curl: plaitings stay plated
Never, of course, use gasoline in a
room where there is burning stove or
where the gas is lighted.

when women Admired whisker.

For ages boards were the delight of
ancient beauties. The sight of a
shaved chin excited sentiments of hor-
ror and aversion. To obey the injunc-
tons of his bishops, Louis VII of

She revenged herself by becoming some
thing more than a coquette. The king
obtained a divorce. She then married
the Count of Anjou. who shortly after
assembled the English throne. and gave
him as her marriage dover the rich
provinces of Potion and Guienne.
And this was the origin of those wars
which for 800 years ravaged France
and which cost the French nation

Don't BE a Drudge.

When a woman is a household
drudge, who has time neither to i'm
prove her mind or her body. it We're
well for Ter to ask the reason of it.
Often it will be found to be caused by
lack of system. The necessary duties
OF the house ale done just any time
instead of on regular days. In conse-
quence, sometimes they are crowded out
entirely, at others are done under such
feeling of pressure as TO become
burden. 1t is as important to live on
schedule in ones domestic arrangements
as if it were another persons business
which must be managed.
Many women feel themselves drudges
because they attempt a scale of living
beyond their resources. While every
enc wants as dainty appointments and
service as possible, when that can be
had only at the expense Of nerves and
brain development, it is. well to live
more simply. If you find you cannot

way. Have less elaborate meals. The
change will save not your time alone,
but your money and your family diges-
lions. Buy all the labor-saving appli-
ances that can be had 1t will be found
to be economy in the end though the
first bills may be rather staggering.
Often the drudgery may be caused
by not getting up early enough in the
morning. A late breakfast keeps every
one in drag all day. 1t is not a hard
ship to get up early if the habit is once
formed, indeed you will soon get to
enjoy it. If you can save enough time
off this end of the day to snatch a half
hours rest after the MONDAY meal.
it will mean much more real rest.
When you know you are a drudge
steal the time to get little reading
done each day, even if desserts are oc-
casionally missing or the baby does not
have handmade slips. If it be only
fifteen minutes it will give you a new
grip on life, and make the inevita bic
