WATER POWER IN NORTHERN
ITALY.

No other country OF Europe has.
during the last few years made as
much progress In the utilization OF It's
water power as the northern part OF
Italy. There We find for the last FIVE
years a steady increase by about 100.-
000-horsepower annually, 80 that the
whole water power now used Is about
six times that of 1904. The cxplana-
ton for this rush Is easily found in
the natural conditions of the country
Coal is so scarce in Italy that II
fetches prices almost thrice as high
as In Great Britain On the other

TWO HUNDRED MILLIONS IN

A dozen years ago there were con-

reached in 1893. There was a decline

the House Committee on Pensions has
agreed on bill which, it is estimated,
would increase the expenditure TO

creasing the service pension rate

II Is obvious that the recipient OF
