Watson, who had taken up with the
chief engineers the matter of getting
the work under way soon.
Surveys have been made, plan.
have been completed and negotia-
tions are under way for the pur-
chase Of the site for No. 81, accord
ing to the chief of engineers, but
the time when the work win be be-.

another appropriation by Congress.
The completion of No. 81 and the
other dams already under way
would give a continuous stage of
nino feet or more from the mouth
OF the Kanawha river to point
near Ironton. distance OF some
sixty miles. The completion of these
loc!.s would be of immense value to
the coal shippers from the Kanawha
valley and give them an advantage
over the Pittsburg competitors by
reason of being able to get to mar
ket sooner with coal, because Of the
dams which would do away with the
necessity for waiting for a coal rise
in the Ohio river.

Used. in Public Places Are
Regulated by Wireless
Energy Now.

BERLTNG, Germany, Jan. 20
The regulation of all the public
clocks by wireless energy is the pro-
gressive and ambitious plan adopted
by the secretary Of the Imperial
PostofTice Department
According 10 the project Of the IN
yentor, an electrician named Ferdl-
nand Schneider, which has received
the support Of the military and naval
authorities, a central station will be
erected near Fulda, centrally situated
for the whole empire. 1t viii have a
tower 325 feet high from tie top Of
which the electric waves will be dis
charged at one minute intervals, af-
fectlng the hands of all the clocks in
the System. Three clocks will be
employed in the central station
switching in INTERCHANGEABLE Il
guarantee absolute accuracy.
1t is planned to have only one re-
ceiving clock in each town, other
timepieccs in the same place being
connected with It on the ordinary
electric circuit now in use.
Preparatory steps have already
been taken toward erecting the cen.
trail establishment at Fulda. The in,
ventor guarantees that the system
will work with absolute accuracy ant
that the waves cannot be interferel
with by those Of other wireless sta.
tons, The service, it is thought
owing TO the great number of clocks
which can be controlled from the one
station, will be comparatively mex.
pensiye and the obvious advantage Of
absolutely uniform time throughout
the country has also, it is understood

However absurd it may seem it is
certain that essence of roses may be
manufactured from paraffin. The
profits offered by this industry are evil
dent at once if one considers that the
pure essence of roses is sold at 40
cents a drop for the best. AS the es-

its surface an unknown liquid contain
