Result of Water Power Development
By Modern Methods-Long Dis
taIce Transmission First
Perfected at Niagara.

Electricity, generated by water
power, has so revolutionized condi-
tions on the farm of E. Burdette
Miner at Oriskany Falls, New York,
that even the pig sly is Illuminated
by incandescent burners. Lighting
of the pig sly came after that OF
the house and barns, and is part of
a comprehensive electric system de-
veloped from the waterfalls of a
small creek.
This power not only simplifes
farm work by milking the cows,
grinding the feed, saving wood and
pumping water, but it has been car
ried into the home to the benefit of
that most overworked of all per-
sons, the farmers wife. The farm
house is heated with five electric
radiators, while cooking and iron
ing are accomplished in the same
way. Electricity runs vacuum
cleaner, ventilating fans, and the
sewing machine There is even an
electric egg beaten, and an electric
cream whipper.
What Mr.. Burdette has accom-
plished at Oriskany Falls other farm
ers in other parts of the country
are doing or planning now that the
possibilities of water power, due to
recent electrical progress, are COM
ing to be realized. Nearly every
State in the Union has latent
power which can be turned into i'm
mense Advantage for both country
and city jewellers.
| The pioneer work in converting
water power into electrical power,
and transmitting it over long dis
tances, was done at Niagara Falls;
and it is in that section of the coun-
try that the benefits of water power
have been most evident.
The tremendous force of Niagara
Falls never has been and never will
be developed to more than a frac-
ton of its possibilities, because most
of the water must continue to flow
over the Falls as a great scenic
spectacle. But Canada and the
United States, In a treaty negotiat-
ed for the express purpose of pre-
serving the Falls, have also provid-
ed for industrial development by
permitting a small proportion of the
water to be used for power. With
no damage to the scenery, the pres
ent power production >at the Falls
will be doubled.
The Canadian-American waterways
treaty will 60 into force in the
United States on the expiration of
the Burton law, temporary expedi-
ent of Congress to regulate the situa
ton. Since its provisions as to
diversion of water safeguard the
Falls permanently, the treaty impos-
es no restriction, as does the Burton
law, upon the quantity of power
that may be imported into the
United States from the Canadian
side.
A large amount of power for
which there is no market In Canada
may therefore be transmitted to the
United States. This, together with
the slightly increased water allow
ance on the American side, will
make it possible to double the
present energy produced at Niagara
Falls and to distribute nearly $780,
600 horsepower over an area OF
more than 100000 square miles.

AID SUaKEN TORPEDO BOATS
Telephone Communication Establish
ed With Submerged Naval Yes
sells In German Harbor,

German torpedo boats are all
equipped with newly designed subma-
rine telephone attachments. This ap-
paratus Is attached to the outside Of
the boat just forward of the tower.
II the boat is sunk, an officer releases
the apparatus, which floats to the sur
race OF the water by means of the
buoy, which is an essential part of
the equipment This can be picked
up by any other boat In the vicinity
and telephone communication be
thus established with the sunken
craft.
During some recent naval manoeu-
vers in the harbor Of Kiel, the Ger
man submarine ~" was sunk, with
a crew of rs men on board. Tele-
phonfc communication was at once es-
tablished with the rescuers, to whom
the commander of the disabled vessel
reported that the crew was in no I'M
mediate danger. as oxygen for 48
hours was available.
For three hours the crew lay pris-
oners at the bottom of the harbor. All
this time running fire Of talk was
kept up with the resouers, whose
work was directed much more effec-
lively than II they had been compelled
to work blindly and without advice
from below.

as big as my fist. When heard you
was coming down here 1 thought OF
taking you over to the cave and let
ting you pick out few pearls and
rubies for yourself, but now l won't.
You are too snippy."
Then you needn't"
1t was three days later that Miss
Nettie got down on her knees 10 that
bad boy and vowed to marry him
when they grew UP if he would take
her to that cave. AS d matter of fact,
he had been told by boy, who had
it from another boy, that there was
such a cave in the hills three miles
away. He had lied about the rest Of
it, but he didn't propose to own up.
He wanted to be hero instead of an
Uncle RUDE, in Miss Nettie's eyes. He
soon discovered that he couldn't be
without setting out for the cave, and it
took him a whole day to make up his
mind. They must set out secretly,
and IL there was no cave a licking
awaited him for sure on their return,
and it might be bread and water for a
week for the girl.
1t was not until Miss Nettie had ap-
piled the epithet of coward several
times that start was made. The
family dog was old and shackelty and
didn't care a cent about pirates caves,
but after much coaXing he consented
to go along. The way was across the
fields and through the scrub to a
range Of hills, and the afternoon was
hot and the journey toilsome. The
dog gave out first When his aged
joints began to creak he knew that he
had had enough, and he headed back.
81 don't think I'd want to see pirate
bones unless the dog was along" OBJ
served the boy.
"But I would" was the reply from
the painting but not discouraged girl.
'I took the dog so that he could
smell out the cave for u.s.
But we'll smell it out for our
selves. We are going right on"
II don't believe there is any cave"
ooh, yes, there is. think I have
read about it somewhere. If you are
a BOBBY you can trot back home"
Forty rods further on the boy
dropped behind a bush for two or
three minutes and then legged it for
home. He wasn't going to give a
pirates ghost chance to take him by
the throat. Miss Nettie missed him,
but did not even call on him to re-
turn. She had set out for a cave filed
with money and jewels, and she
meant to reach it.
The hills were reached at last by
very tired girl. They were covered
with pine and spruce and powders,
but after a rest she started her climb

Cleaning Up Old Nests.

The incubating season is over with
poultry so far as profit to the owner
is concerned, and the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station advises that all old
nesting material be taken out and
burned. and that all nesting boxes be
disinfected and given a coat of liquid
lice killer, after which fresh straw may
be placed in them for late layers.
The creosote preparations sold at
lumber yards for wood preserving
have been used with good effect as
lice killers.

1T COULD NOT HAPPEN.

A newspaper having offered prize
for the most impossible item of local
news, the competition was won by
wildly imaginative genius, who sent in
the following brief story:
"A cabman and bus driver came
into collision in the street with their
vehicles so that their wheels we're
locked.
My dear SIR said the cabman.
I'm very sorry for this accident. VIII
you kindly excuse me?'
Pray do not mention it, my dear
sir replied the bus driver. The
fault was mine, rather than yours.
And after getting clear Of each
other they bowed politely and pro
ceeded about their business With q
pleasant good day "-Tit-Bits.

PROVIDING Fresh Air,

Birds are so constituted by nature
that they require an abundance of
fresh air for health and yigor. They
never do well with limited supply
of air For this reason all coops and
boxes in which poultry of any kind
is kept in the summer should be as
open as possible.
Let the roof be tight to protect from
rain, but let at least one side be open
for the admission of fresh air at all
times. The open side may be protected
by wire cloth or other material that
will let in the air, but keep out rats,

ne Pirates
Cave
By Clara Ineg Deacon
(Copyright. 1912, by Associated Literary
Press.)

1t was thoroughly understood when
Miss Nettie Shields, eleven years Of
age, was permitted to accompany her
sister Fanny, of twenty, down to
Eagles nest for a few weeks stay
with their aunt, that the young miss
must behave herself.
Not that Miss Nettie Shields had
ever been arrested for her conduct,
but that she was needless and over
confident and almost satisfied that she
knew 1t all. If she went out for
walk by herself she would follow a
hand organ or a fire engine until she
got lost, and II she started for the
park to feed the squirrels she might
bring up at the Battery to feed the
fishes. She had solemnly promised
to amend her ways and be no cause
of anxiety to anyone, and she stuck
to that promise for all of half an hour
after arriving at the manor house.
Then she met the coachman's son, a
lad of twelve.
The city lass was looking at the
country lad with her nose in the air
and a plying expression on her face
when he walked up to her and said:
You are not so muchy-much!"

much than you'll"

Daddy Flynn, who is lecturing in this
city on health. He is an advocate Of
the no-breakfast plan and he says that
the number Of meals that are eaten Is
largely a habit
If you eat no breakfast. cut down
the meat and in general regulate the
intake according to the expenditure,
you will be surprised with the result.
Most people eat just as much when
the old machine is not working as
when it is doing the hardest kind OF
work. A person should not eat just
to satisfy his craving for food. He
should eat intelligently, having an OBJ
ject in view. as there are foods for
different conditions, foods for thick

essary salts, foods that will make us
fat and foods that will make us thin"
Mr.. Flynn believes that the people
should be educated so that they know
the difference between a protein, a
carbohydrate and the other necessary
foods, for it is Of more value, he says,
to know what to eat than it is to have
knowledge Of astronomy and many
of the subjects that are taught In the
