The Era of the Waterfalls.

One of the most notable things in
the rapid march of mechanical science
is the increasing use of waterfalls for
the production of electric power. This
is going on in all parts of the world,
and has resulted in an enormous in
crease in the money value of the falls.
Some one has estimated that Niagara
Falls, as a producer of power, is
worth $1,000,00O,000. Waterfalls are
now driving tram-cars. lighting cities,
running factories, irrigating farms and
performing innumerable other SER
vices, often at a distance of many
miles from the source of power Italy,
Astounding with waterfalls on the
slopes of the Alps and the Apennines,
is among the leaders in this advance.
In India it is proposed to derive 10000
horsepower from the Doogh Sagar
River, at a point where its waters de-
scend about $500 feet.

Reno, New, June 2S.-Both Jeffries
and Johnson are today declared by
their trainers to be in the pink of con-
dition and ready to step into the ring
to fight the greatest battle Of their
lives.
johnson has abandoned all of his err
ratio habits and has settled down to
systematic daily routine. The black
mans practice work with his sparrlng
partners has created a good impress
sion.
Jeffrles has also made the assembled
fight fans sit up and take notice by
boxing with one after another of his
sparring partners until the men and
the list were exhausted. After this
hard exercise he seemed as fresh as
in the beginning, and this has deepen
ed the belief that he has lost none of
his old time staying power.
Reno Is now town of boosters. No
body knows what has become Of the
