WATER POWER
BOOSTING CANADA.
Rapid Development at Niagara Falls
Disturbs Americans Who Are
Forbidden to Import Cur
rent

Niagara Falls, July 22.-Recent
enlargements of the generating
plants of the hydro-electric power
companies on the Canadian side of
Niagara Falls call attention to the
rapidly growing demand in the prov
ince of Ontario for this modern from
of energy, and are leading to appre-
hension as to the effect of this eX-
pansion upon industry on the Ameri-
can side of the border. Six years
ago less than 5000 horse power
from Niagara Falls was sold in Can
ada. Now sales amount to about
100000 horse power, while one of
the three companies in the field
announces that by 1913 it will have
ready two additional generating
units of 1900 horse power each to
meet the increasing demands of its
Canadian business.
There is a limit to this growth. 1t
is found in the recently-negotiated
treaty for protecting the scenic
beauty of the Falls, by which Canada
is restricted to a maximum of &c.
600 cubic feet of water a second and
the United States to 10000 cubic
feet a second-in all only a small
fraction of the total flow. The
United States is already using all
but 1000 cubic feet of her allow
dnce, Canada about half of hers.
The United States would be using
her full amount but for the fact that
the treaty is not yet fully operative
in this country. By an old law run
ming until March 4, 1913, industries
on the American side of the Falls
are limited to 1900 cubic feet OF
water a second, while importance OF
electoral current from Canada is re-
stricted to 100000 horse power. The
latter provision, intended to safe
guard the Horseshoe Falls, was de-
vised at a time when the Canadian
Government afforded the cataract nc
protection. Under the treaty the
protection is ample becomes opera,
tive the restriction will be removed
What is worrying business men OF
New York is that while they wait for
the treaty to give them 4,400 cubic
feet additional water and to remove
the limit on importation of power
new industries are passing them by
and locating in Canada. This means
not only loss of the industries them
selves. but the absorption of Can.
ada's limited quota of hydro-electriC
energy, so that when unrestricted
importation of power is finally per
mitted. Canada may be using al
the treaty permits her to develop
and there may be none left to i'm
port into the United States.

AVIAT0R'S RARE PHOTO.
He Took Picture Of tho Gun That
Was Fired at Him.

The hte.t thing In courtesies be-
tween belligerents has just been pro-
vided by Commander Deuti, chief of
the dirigibles used by the Italian army
in Tripoli.
Some time ago while circling the
Arab position Deuti photographed the
explosion Of a shrapnel which was
fired at him. On developing the mega
tive Deuti found that he had a rare
picture, and his curiosity regarding
the gun which had fired the shell was
aroused He knew that a Turkish cap
tain of artillery was In command OF
the battery which had assailed him.
and. circling over the position again.
he dropped large envelope which
contained a copy OF the photograph
and polite request that he be fur
ntshed with the type and caliber Of
the gun which had been used in firing
the shrapnel. He also asked what
means Of aiming was used, and the In
terests Of aviation were given as the
excuse for the unusual request.
The commander closed the note by
thanking the Turkish captain and ex-
pressing the hope that they might meet
on earth.

new DEVICE TO ENSNARE
FLIES
1t is Only Bottle Built on Scientific
Lines. But is Said to BE Real
Thing.

A device to ensnare flies has been
invented by Philip j. Gill, of New
York, and he has retained w. H.
Davis, Esq, of Scranton, as his at
torney to secure a patent. Both re-
turned recently from Washington,
where the model and specifications
were filed with the patent commits
sioner.
Judge Davis is enthusiastically
confident that the invention will ac-
complish two desirable objects;
namely, the wholesale destruction of
the fly, and highly lucrative profit for
Inventor Gill and himself.
Pathologists are unanimous on the
proposition that the fly is the cham
pion disseminator of disease. Nom
scientific people are of the same opin-
ion. Everybody, young and old,
knows how easy the fly shifts it's pos
ition from the kitchen sink to the
center Of the dining room table.
The device to eXterminate the pest
is a glass bottle, simple in construc-
tion and cheap in manufacture. The
bottle can be sold at retail for ten
cents and bring a substantial profit
to the inventor.
While the profit on each bottle will
>,
tensive sale is relied upon to run the
annual revenue into large figures.
Flies Like Their Beer.
In shape and size the bottle is like
an ordinary water bottle. 1t has
three feet, which are just long
enough, or high enough, to stand the
base of the bottle an inch off the
table.
A loaf of sugar is placed under the
center of the base to attract the
flies. The base is concave, with a
hole two inches in diameter. After
the fly gets a taste of the sugar it
fills him with a spirit of exhaltation,
he feels good and has to rise.
The hole in the bottom of the bot
tie affords him chance for fight
and having passed through it he finds
the top closed against him. If he de-
scends again to find exit through the
hole in the bottom he is apt to guide
his footsteps along the side of the
bottle, and when he gets to what he
considers the bottom he finds him
self blocked by a hollow circle of
some liquid resting in the depression
made by the concave bottom or base
of the bottle between the hole and
Sil lCuLuLSIeuIIdl sue OF SlQeS.
Experiment with the sort of liquid
most effective has disclosed that the
fly will take most readily to beer and,
not unlike other creatures upon the
earth, will swim in it..
The result is easily appreciated.
The flies will die with a jag, and if
not totally toXined by their external
and internal bath, will at least be so
stupefied as to fall an easy prey to
capture.
If beer is not at convenient hand,
then syrup, vinegar, or even H2O
will answer the purpose.
One bottle one day last summer, by
way OF experiment, trapped twenty
thousand flies in a New York city
boarding house. Mr.. Gill has put
the invention to test, and is so con-
fident it will do even more than he
claims that he has described it as
The Champion Fly Trap"

Their expenses were borne by a
number of bankers who made the wa

follows:

Maru; June IA, arrived at Yokohama;
June Ia left Vladivostok via Trans
siberian railway June 25, arrived at
Moscow, Russia; June 81, arrived at
Paris; July 4. arrived in New York;
July 0, arrived in Los Angeles.

Blame Speed Demands.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10. - The Illinois
railroad and warehouse commissioners
today made public their findings in the
investigation of the wreck of the Chi
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad
at Western Springs, July IA, when 10
people were killed. The commissions
ers declare against the manual block
system, operated by persons, and for
the automatic block systems.
The commissioners attributed the
wreck to three causes
First, the demand of the public for
through trains at dangerous speed. =.
Second, the demand made by the
government for a similar fast rate in
the carrying Of mail to appease the de-
mand of the public for rapid service.
Third, the acceding of the rail 'oads
to the prevailing demands by which
fast trains are scheduled TO run close
together at highly dangerous rate.

Charge Horrible Cruelty.

ST. ANTHONY, Idaho, Aug. 10
Many stories of cruelty alleged to
have been practiced on the inmates of
the state industrial school here have
been told to the governor and state
board in the course of the investiga-
ton this week
Charles Portridge, now of age, and
living with his wife and baby at Shell
ley, was one of the witnesses. He had
escaped from tn school when about
10 years of age. He testified that he
had been dashed so brutally that the
bruises were visible five months after
ward.
A farmer, Allen, living near ST. An
thany, told of harboring three boys,
aged 10, IA and 8, who came from the
school, Their backs were black and
blue, he said, and covered with ugly
scars.
The weapons with which these al
legged beatings were said to have been
inflicted were shown TO the board.
They were slabs of sole leather pro-
vided with handles. The witnesses
said that the superintendent and over
seers each had such a whip. One of
the implements was identified by Hal
lard Hamilton, aged II, as the whip
used upon him year ago by Fitz
gerald, the bandmaster to punish him
for removing a loose leaf from a |
music book.
