Power Produced by Current of the
a River to Generate Electricity is
Scheme of ST. Louis Man.

A St Louis genius has patented
plan for hrneassing the Mississippi
river and making its current do the
work done by coal converted into
steam.
He would build floats in the shape
OF fumes OF reinforced concrete or
other suitable material. If concrete,
these floats would be provided with
air chambers TO render them buoyont
and unsuitable. Placed in midstream
the current OF the river would flow
through these fiumefike boats and
turn wheels that would communicate
power to motors, which in turn would
generate or collect electricity. This
electricity is to be used for moving
an endless cable from one float to
another on wheels placed at the ends
of the extreme floats of the series.
AS one side of this endless cable is
moving down stream, the other side,
on tie opposite side of the anchored
floats, will be going up stream, and
boats. barges and other craft need
only hook on 10 this cable to be
towed in any direction.
Enough surplus electricity will he
generated to furnish municipal and
other lighting and power to run
cars. factories and other things along
the way
It is figured that the cost from ST.
Louis to New Orleans will about equal
the cost of aslouble track railroad the
same distance, while the cost of oper-
alton would be much les and repairs
and betterments neglible.
1t Is also figured that the freight
traffic at 20 cents ton added to the
revenues derived from the sale of
electricity to riparian cities would pay
for the entire plant in 10 years.
This proposition is big enough for
a dream, but all big things were once
dreams, says the News Scimitar. The
American people are accustomed to
handling big things.

EVENING CHAT
By RUTH CAMERON.

Why it is. I wonder that people
of reserve and taste in most matters,
so frequently offend the canons of both
by having their living rooms and re-
ception rooms and even t--eir dining
rooms, lavishly hung with photographs
Of their family and relatives and init
mate friends.
That the rooms which are used for
the entertainment of general company
should be decorated chiefly with i'm
personal pictures, pictures of general
interest, seems to me just as much a
law of taste and politeness as that con-
versation with these people should be
of general interest rather than on per-
Sonal matters. t.
You would never think of examining
your relatives and intimates into your
callers ears by talking constantly
about them. Why, then, should you
foist them upon her eyes by covering
the walls of the room in which you en-
terrain her, with nothing but their pic
lures. s.
The private den or study or work
room where only the most intimate
friends are taken. or the citadel of
ones private personality, ones own
chamber, seem to me the proper places
for these picture galleries, and yet how
seldom we see a home where this rule
is strictly adhered to.
L suppose it is partly because in
these days of frequent and easy picture
taking, most of US have so many Pho
tographs of our friends In our posses
sion that they overflow our private
quarters and inundate the whole
house.
Quite frequently the gift of a photo
graph, fond though we may be of its
original and glad thought we may be
to receive it, brings a problem in its
wake.
I We show it to the people who will
be especially interested in it. 1t lies
about on our desk or table for a few
days, and then what? If we stand it
up or tack it up unframed it will sure
ly SPOIL and discolor. We do not feel
just like taking the money to buy a
frame especially for it. And yet we
would surely have been offended if
that friend had passed us by in the
distribution of her pictures.
1 know one girl who solves this little
problem in a way that will surely in
terest for its uniqueness even If it does
not appeal. She has about half
dozen frames which is all there is
space for in her room. These frames
are so made that the pictures can
easily be slipped in and out. Every
few weeks she changes the pictures in
them so that she has all her friends
looking down upon her from time to
time.
In this connection let me suggest
that for an inexpensive birthday or
Christmas gift, 1 know of nothing that
will be more sure to fill a niche of
need than a small frame, suitable for a
photograph Let it be of any sort, an
oval of brass or bronze or the simplest
of wooden frames. and it will unde-
niabIy fiEd welcome, for show me the
person who has not more photographs
than he has frames for them, and ]
will show you a rarity.
