HONORABLE MENTION.

There is no devil but fear says a
modern writer. Whether or not we who'll
~ agree with him. l think we shall all
unhesitatingly concede that fear is a
devil OF most harassing and malignant
nature that too often plays sad havoc
with our lives. Then how shall we rid
ourselves of this devil-how shake of
this apprehension of impending disaster
which at times floods our souls?
We are accustomed 10 think of a SOL
der as being naturally q brave man. but
an army officer is reported to have said
recently;
If all the men who sat in trenches. or
hid. from fear in their first engagement
were shot for the offense. the ranks of
all armies would be considerably de-
pleted"
Then how do soldiers acquire bravery
Principally. perhaps. through losing
sight OF their own safety In their desire
10 see the battle won; through becoming
imbued with the fighting spirit, and the
impulse 10 win at all hazards: through
the belief that then side will surely win
the battle
So, too in all the affairs OF life When
we become interpretive. turning our
eyes in upon ourselves, we are likely to
become possessed with apprehensive
thoughts. We must plunge into the
thick Of the fight. filled with faith as to
the outcome. Says the late Prof. James:
1T IS only by risking our persons from
one hour to another that we live at all.
And often enough our faith beforehand
IN an uneertifed result is the only thing

plunge OF 4s2 feet and two stones throws
further Is jump OF 74 feet. For pur-
poses OF generating power these two falls
and the general decline are combined into
lao feet and the water OF the river is
shot through great tubes and brought TO
play on the turbines below.
Six Turbines at Work.
There are now six turbines at work
night and day. These supply all the
power for which there is a demand in all
ihis region There are already other tur-
bines being Installed IN anticipation of a
greater demand. for Mexico must get
used TO her new power before she knows
its use. At first there was but call for
2e.oo0 horsepower, but this was increased
to 5000. and is now approaching 10000.
The falls at Necaxa viii supply 250,OOG
horsepower. and when there is a demand
Tor more the company will go down the
canyon TO the next fall, which Is 1000
feet, and use the water ali over again.
All Mexico can be supplied from this one
plant. II is a canning factory for water
power ia successful operation
Fortunately electricity will run I'D hill.
Water may be forced TO run from the
lowlands 10 the plateaus above through
the simple process OF converting il into
electricity. The power for Mexico City is
developed on level 1900 feet below the
city. All the great plateau country OF
Central Mexico is far above the Necaxa
power plant, and 1t is this section that
the plant is TO feed
This convention OF water power into
electrical power is the greatest influence
in the Mexico OF to-day and of the near
future. 1t is the great power OF the flu
ture in all communities. but where indus
try has developed under other influences
1t viii continue in the old way But
where there is a virgin soil for the in
stailation Of the plant which uses the
white coal of the waterfall the thing is
easier. For this reason Mexico, the land
OF the manyana. is destined TO outstrip
New York herself in the modernness OF
the power that turns her spindles.

Necaxa, Mex. Nov I2-'It IS the most
magnificent engineering conception OF the
age" said Col. Goethals, OF the Panama
Canal. after looking over the work OF the
Mexican Light Snd Power Company IN its
| efforts TO hazness the waters OF the great
central plateau where they plunge over
4 the precipices TO the east, and through
them to furnish power to the heart OF
the republic.
For here is a series OF seven storage
/ reservoirs impounding the flow Of seven
watersheds, connected in each instance
BY tunnels miles long under mountains.
The water is concentrated at a single
point and then plunged through great
steel pipes to power-houses on the levels
below. where its force is converted into
electricity, which, in turn. is distributed
for 100 miles in all directions, where Il
lights cities, pulls street cars, mills ore at
the gold mines, and turns the wheels OF
all manner OF machinery.
Power Cheaper To-day.
Because Of it the industries OF Mexico
City are to-day getting power for a third
of the price paid five years ago. Under
the great wires that carry it over the
plateau pass the oxen of the natives, who
still plow with a forked stick To the
spillway OF the plant the Mexican women
still bring their clothes and wash them
snow white, with a fat rock as a rubbing
board Yet Necaxa throws down the
gantlet 10 all the world for the magnifi-
cent progressiveness of her construction
and the contrast It bears to the region
upon which IL is superimposed.
Necaxa was a river, but is now a dam
and reservoir and a power plant. The
dam is ls4 feet high and 1900 feet long,
comparing with the greatest in the world.
Its core and outside are OF concrete,
while its insides are rock and dirt. So
monstrous are the proportions of this
dam that mountain has been used TO
NIL In its vitals. Yet so progressive are
the men who are doing this work that no
such crude methods as hauling in the dirt
have been resorted to. Water from the
levels above has been piped down and
great nozzles have been turned on near
by mountain side. This has been washed
down into the nav OF the dam, and it
has been completed at no greater labor
than the guiding of this stream. 4 Draw

MAKING ARTIFICIAL RAIN.
Farmers Who Use Electric Motors
for SprinkIing Their Fields.

In the town of Irondequoit, bordering
Rochester on one side and Lake Ontario
on another, more fruit is raised than in
any other place of equal size in the
United States
Some say there is not as much pro-
'duced anywhere else in the world. says
the Technical Education and Inventor
Other fruit sections. even the gardens OF
Long Island. have come to acknowledge
Irondequoit's lead.
This prominence of the IrondequOit
farmers is partly due to their novel way
OF watering their farms. The water It
self comes from various sources: some
from Lake Ontario, some from small
ponds on the farms themselves.
Wherever it comes from 1t is forced to
work by electricity. The farmers tap
the wires of the suburban trolleys OF the
Rochester Railway and Light Company
This current operates the motors which
by a sixty-pound pressure force the water
through pipes so that IL falls like
gentle summer rain.
II is so scattered by this pressure that
the air above the fields Is full of mist
In winter the greenhouses can be watered
the same way.

But for the presence of mind of
George Foraker, of Elkton, a serious
accident would undoubtedly have oc-
Cured on the Pennsylvania railroad
Sunday, March 20, one hundred yards
south of Elkton station. While
walking along the northbound track
he discovered that a piece of rail
one foot in length had been broken
off completely and thrown some dis
tance away. Realizing that the
first train that should reach the gap
would be wrecked, he ran to the signal
tower a short distance away and
notified the operator. Although the
discovery was made over a week ago
the matter was kept quiet by the
railroad officials so effectively that it
did not become known until Saturday
night. AS it is the custom of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
reward heroes of the type of Foraker
he will probably be we'll remembered.
The man was formerly a track work
