ter to water wheels, 12O feet below,
where 10000 horse power will be gen
Grated and sent to Omaha over copper
wires.
After leaving the dam the water
will continue in the new channel pro
vided for it for 20 miles, when anoth-
err natural reservoir is encountered,
and a fall of so feet obtained. At
this point, near Schuyler, Neb., 10000
horse power is to be generated and
sen onward to the big packing houses
at Omaha.
Again the river will be made cap
tive and conducted along its new
channel to the Maple Creek valley,
where another plant is to produce So
900 horse power.
Near Fremont still another plant
will generate 10000 horse power, and
then the last stage of the artificial
river is to be begun. Between Ere
mont and Omaha, about 40 miles, the
greatest engineering feat Of the devel-
opment is planned. This is the cross
ing of the river high up above the
Elkhorn river, which travers6s a deep
valley. The Loup will be conducted
over this stream on a giant concrete
bridge, the largest in the country.
From this point to Omaha the new
river will pass through hills border
ing on the Missouri river, and finally
will plunge over the very crest of the
highest of these into the Missouri, in
a cataract 10 feet high, generating
$4,000 horse power. The total energy
generated at the five falls will be
zoo, 600 horse power.
There is no coal mined in Nebraska,
and every pound of energy must at
present be generated from coal, on
which enormous freight rates are
paid, the cost of generationg being
$So.2S q horse power a year, as com
pared with the $1S.S1 for which the
same power a be purchased after
the Loup is harnessed.

A Case for Sympathy.

Two matrons of a certain western

prove altogether satisfactory, met at

CANCER AMONG FISH.

Scientists Trying 10 Discover If 1t
Can Be mmuricnted.
The discovery hat cancer is q very
ommOn disease with many kinds Of
fish, and especially brook trout, has
been made.
Dr.. Harvey r. Gaylord, head of the
Buffalo State Cancer Laboratory, an
nounced Sunday that scientists con
nected with that institution are now
conducting a new line of experimental
ton to discover whether or not can
GER is communicated to human beings
by the fish they eat or whether the
water Of streams is infected by the
cancer germ from the fish.
This new discovery on which the
cancer experts are working may give
a cleW to the manner in which ANGER
is communicated to the human sys-
tenn. Heretofore cancer research had
been conducted chiefly along the lines
of a hunt for a cure The disease was
found to be most prevalent in mice
and rats, and most of the experiments
have been performed with these ami
mails as subjects
While it is an established fact that
cancer is a common disease among
fish, there is no certainty that it is
the source of infection of human be-
ings. DR.. Gaylord said:
There is no certainty that cancer
comes from fish. We are conducting a
vigorous line of experiments, however,
to find out if it does. These expert
,,.,+, ,,,-o ,,t oo-or TO-, oro,,rh rat fo
warrant giving any opinion on the
matter. The discovery hat cancer
exists among fish was made by a
French scientist. A study of fish has
shown that the disease is quite COM
mon among this species CT animal life.
1t is found that the gills of fish are
the part affected. The disease Is
| found in many varieties of fresh
water fish, and many sea fish have
also been found which are so dis
eased."
While DR.. Gaylord was quite guard
ed in his statements as to the effect OF
this discovery and the result Of the
experiments which are now being car
ried on, it is known that officials OF
the State Forest. Fish and Game Com
mission are much interested. Infected
fish are now furnished to the cancer
laboratory in this city by the Stats
h~atcheries for these experiments.
The fish experiments are being con-
Quoted along two lines-first, to see
whether the fish infect the water In
which they live, and, second, whether
the cancer germs are entirely destroy
ed by the heat Of cooking.-New York
