ELECTRIC LIGHT IN DENMARK
Every Town In That Country Of Over
5000 Population Has
Public Service.

According to recent information
About the progress Of electric light
and power industries in Denmark. 1t
appears that all the towns of 5000
inhabitants and over are now provid-
ed with public electric service. says
the Scientific American. AS to towns
having between 5000 and 1000 inhabit-
ants, there are only three IN which
electric mains are not installed. so
that II will be seen that Denmark is
one OF the most progressive countries
IN this respect. The largest sized cleo
trio stations are to be found at Co
penhagen and at present there are
three large plants In operation giving
a total of 1900 horse power. Cur
rent is supplied for the city mains,
as we'll as for the tramway lines. AS
regards the Danish stations in small
towns, in general each town has its
own plant, and there is but one ex-
ample Of an intercommunal system.
This Is at Skovshoved, near Copenha-
gen, and the central station extends
its power lines over all the suburban
regions. also supplying the tramways
Of Hellerup and Klampenburg. In
most Of the town electric stations the

Physicians in all of the eastern

MEANING OF AT HALF MAST"
At First Universal Symbol Was Tok'
en- Of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that
whenever a prominent person dies, es'
pecially If he Is connected with the
government, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the
way up, remarks the Toronto Mail M
EXPIRES. This is called half mast.
Did you ever stop to think what con
nection there could be between a flag
thai was not properly hoisted and the
death Of a great man?
Ever since flags were used in war
It has been the custom to have the
nag Of the superior or ~cOnquering ma
ton above that OF the inferior or van
Quished. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten it hauled It's flag
down far enough for the flag of the
victors to be placed above 1t on the
same pole. This was a token not only
OF submission, but Of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags were lowered out of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
OF universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag Of the great
c%onQueror Of all-the angel OF death.
