VAST JAPANESE WATER POWER.
Syndicate Will Furnish Power From
Streams 100 Miles AWAY.

The rich field offered by japan for the
development oi water power schemes Is
now beginning 10 bc practically recognized
| by English and American tnancier-, who
with japanese syndicate, have Just com
| plcted arrangements for commencing work
ON what probably viii be the greatest
power undertaking IN the world.
What l. known a. the Kobe syndicate,
limited, has already acquired concession
IN the japanese Alps, capable, il is esti.
mated, OF ultimately developing something
IKE Juv,WO horsepower, and OF furnishing
tins power 10 various enterprises IN Toxic,
Osaka, Kobe aud other important com.
mercial centers of Japan. In the spring
OF 1906 the Kobe syndicate dispatched an
expert hydraulic engineer, j. NJ liowells,
an American, to report on the concessions
already secured. Mr. liowells personally
discovered some additional power propo-
sitions, one OF which Is described as per.
haps the most remarkable in the world.
IL is situated in the japanese Alps. be.
yond Mount Fun, and consists OF two
rivers, the FUji kawa and the Tashara
Gawa. which flow parallel to each other,
but with difference in elevation of no
less than 5000 feet. MIR. llowells' pro-
posal Is To make a tunnel through the
mountain range and drop the Fuji Kawa
bodily into the Tashara Gawa, by which
means 1t Is estimated that about loo. 900
horsepower could be developed. Another
scheme IN the same neighborhood is of
iered by the Oigawa, with drop of $50
feet and capacity of 10000 horsepower
which the Joint syndicate proposes to
handle first as the least troublesome
The power site of the Oigawa is sit
uated within easy transmission distance
OF Toxic, only l05 miles. as also of Osaka,
Kobe, klota and Yokohama. The same
remark applies to the more ambitious
Full kawa scheme.
Work will commence this autumn on
the Oigawa and the syndicate expects to
be able TO deliver the power in two years
time. At present there is an immense
market Tor power in Japan, mainly owing
to the high prices and lower quality OF
japanese coal. Other factors in favor of
The scheme are the very cheap labor,
ample supply of timber and readily pro-
'urable supply of cement. The sum re-
luired to carry out the contemplated
works is SS,5O0,O0O. The capital of the
company will be S36,OOO,OOO.

MONKEY CULTURE.
Troubles of the Simian Psychologist in
Zoo,

Melvin Haggerty, the Harvard MAJ
who is studying monkey psychology al
first hand in the Bronx Zoo, has now
| been instructing four ringtailed Mad
agascan monkeys for several days, and
stands ready to send to the parents Oh
guardians Of the pupils reports of ere
markabe progress. - The report
would be based largely on what hap
pened in the monkey house yesterday.
Mr. Haggerty has a little room of
his own Just to the left of the entrance
keeps a lot of apparatus for testing the
intelligence of his pupils, He spends
almost all of his time there. He
brought with him two thoroughly in
structed high brow monkeys from Har-
ward, both having had four full years
there.
He has been keeping in the room,
besides, Porthos, Athos and Aramis,
the original three Musketeer mon keys,
as well as d 'Artagnan, who came later
from Madagascar. When D'Artagnan
was first put in with the original Three
Musketeers some weeks ago they beat
and chewed him until he was sent into
hospital training. That's partly what
he is doing in Mr.. Haggerty 5 private
room now. He is convalescing in a
cage separate from Athos, Porthos and
Aramis.
Now the four Bronx monkeys are
supposed to gather culture from asso-
citation with the two Harvard monkeys,
whom the keepers already call Percy
and Rupert. Mr.. Haggerty has been
at great pains to rig up device that
forces monkey to shove his hand
sunfiower seed. He also has glass
box, which the Harvard monkeys can
unlock to get a banana.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Haggerty
left his private room at 3 clock
From what was seen when he came
back it must have been two minutes
after he went out that Porthos, Athos
and Aramis with lightning speed I'M
locked the cage door. Mr.. Haggertys
best hope has been that they would
learn how to open lock after some
months.
The Three Musketeers went right. to
work. They smashed the paper ring
and seized all the sunflower seed in
sight. They found Mr.. Haggerty s
watch and a bar of soap. They com
mingled the two, so that the watch
knocked off work. They tore up sew
eral of Mr.. Haggerty's books on psy-
chology and philosophy. They, ripped
up book Of poems entitled, Lifts of
The Summer Eve.
But that was only a start. They |
climbed up to the cage of poor D AR
,agnan. Furnishing him as much as pos
,ible through the bars. They set
yramophone to playing that ancient
Back to Baltimore thing.
Then the Three Musketeers turned
heir attentions to Percy and Rupert,
rom whom they were to absorb cul
ure. They punished them through the
Jars. and had begun to batter in the
ides of the cage with Mr.. Haggerty s
watch when Keeper Riley, attracted by
he noise. rushed in.
The Three Musketeers climbed quick
v back into their cage, slammed the
DOR, skunk back into their corners, and
iosed their eyes as if in sleep. Mr..
Iaggerty came in ten minutes later;
1t was understood at the Bronx Zoo
asst night that Mr.. Haggerty will grad
ate Porthos, Athos and Aramis today.
