Wonders OF ElectricitY.

Wireless communications have been
successfully carried ON from a special
train on the Lake Shore railroad to
Cleveland and Chicago, while running
at full speed,
1t is expected that in the early future
electricity will supersede steam on all
the railroads of Germany 1t will take
nearly $135,0OO,000 to replace all the
steam locomotive with electrics.
A great dam is to be erected across
the Colorado river at Marble Falls,
Texas. When completed this dam will
give more than 10000 horse power
which will be used TO operate a large
cotton mill and other industries.
The largest electric power station IL
the world will shortly be erected within
fourteen miles of Johannesburg under
the terms of a contract officially an.
nounced, by which the Victoria Fall
Power Company will supply electric
power to practically all the mines il
