NIAGRA STRONG AS
 15O,oOO,ooo MEN
A New Kind of Measure of Force
 of the Cataract.

United States army engineers, in d recent report on Niagaga Falls, esti- mate the force of the cataract at 5,0OO,0 horse power. or 50,000, 900 man power. If one undertook to de- lelop this energy for only a single day by hiring men at g. each, it would cost $3O0,000,000, or enough to build another Panama canal Besides that, it would be necessary to SCOUT the world for laborers, as the total able-b bodied male population of the United States is only about a tenth of the working force that would be required.
 Yet it cannot be said that the country is wasting the cost of the Panama canal every day at Niagara. It is estimated that a million visitors derive pleasure and inspiration from the great masterpiece of Nature ev- cry year. while electrical generating plants have been established which are developing almost 500,000 horse power from the falling flood This amount will probably be increased eventually by about half as much again. but it cannot materially eX- ceed that because the United States and Great Britain recently negotiated d treaty limiting water diversion on either side to an amount which, ac- cCrding to the findings of govern ment engineers, will not impair the falls as a spectacle.
 The treaty is not yet fully oper- ative in this country, but will prob ably become so upon the expiration of existing legislation next spring The new arrangement will allow use of an additional 4400 cubic feet of water second on the American side and further benefit industry in this country by permitting unrestricted importation of electric power from Canada.

RELIEF
 FROM FRAUD
Our English Cousins Alarm ed By the Figures Re garding the Growing Sales of Patent Medicines and Appliances in That Country.

LONDON, July 13-StartIing figures regarding the sale and use of secret proprietary medicines and appliances have been given in the testimony of Alfred Cox, secretary of the British Medical association, before the select committee of the house of commons which is inquiring into the patent medicine traffic
 Cox stated that the gravest exam ples of the injury being done in this country by extensively advertised medicines and appliances were found among people suffering from con- sumption, cancer and rupture. He teS- tified that in numerous cases of these maladies worthless remedies were tried in the early stages of the dis ease, and when eventually medical man or surgeon was called in he was too late to be of any service Frauds on the public. the witness testified, were perpetrated in connection with proprietary medicines and appliances by the use of grossly exaggerated statements concerning their alleged curative properties and false state mcnts as to the drugs used. Some of the apparatus and articles adver- tised were frauds pure and simple It was estimated that in the year 1908 no less than SIP, ,500,000, sum suf- ficient to maintain forty thousand hospital beds, was spent in Great Britain on patent medicines.
 Among the suggestions made by the association for the control of the evil was one based on the American Pure Food and Drug act which provides fiat the amount and kind of drugs used in d patent preparation must be specified on the label

The report of the American bureau of plant industry recommending that the Egyptian staple cotton be culti- vated in Arizona and California on a commercial scale has been received here with interest by cotton importers who believe that the time will soon come when the United States will not be compelled to import any more of the staple. This report was fol- lowed by the annual statement of the government of Madras on the cotton crop of the presidency of the present year. It shows an increase of sixteen per cent in the area de-
 voted to cotton during the corre- spending month last year. The gen.
 eral average of the crop is higher than during the past ten years.

Following on the heels of the an nOuncement that Argentine had raised the quarantine against English cattle comes the news that the dreaded foot and mouth disease has again become epidemic here. The raising of the quarantine was followed immediately by the advent in England of d large party of Argentine stock buyers. who expected to be heavy purchasers at the Royal Stock show. but under the circumstances it is hardly likely that they will assume the risk of attempt ing to take any British cattle into the South American republic at this time.
 The board of agriculture immedi- ately gave orders that all the re- maining animals on the affected farms ments of cattle within the threatened area were prohibited. Ireland has again closed her doors to cattle from Great Britain
 The fears of patriotic Englishmen that the oak staircase of Cromwell House was to be sold to an American have been allayed by the announce ment that the South KensingtOn Museum has been given an option on it.

HIS SYMPATHIES WITH ELK
Somewhat Natural, Since Animal Res
cued Engineer From Extremely
Awkward Position.

A curious story of adventure comes
from Montana. While freight train
was lying over at a small mountain
station, the engineer borrowed shot.
gun and started out for a short hunt.
Finding nothing, he was returning to
the train when COW came running at
him, and before he realized his dan.
ger, she tossed him in the air.
Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible, he lodged behind a tree,
and then, to his dismay, found that
the gun barrel was bent so as to be
useless. The next ten minutes were
very lively ones, while the COW chased
the engineer round and round the
tree. Just when he was about to sue
cumb from fatigue, an angry snort was
heard, and a big elk appeared upon
the scene, head down and prepared
for a fight.
So was the COW and in another mo-
ment the two animals dashed at each
other. The engineer watched the com.
bat for few minutes, until prudence
suggested that he should make a re.
treat as soon as he could. He re-
gained the train in safety, and never
know the outcome of the battle, but
he hopes the elk was the victor.

Useful Accomplishments.

s, Useful Accomplishments.
Every woman wants a coy corner
all her own-be that corner humble
or handsome.
Every woman whs does not have the
home longing is abnormal. Home is
made up of little things.
One of the largest of these little
things is the ability to cook whole
some food.
Sewing and music are next. A wom-
an might be as homely as can be, but
II she can cook good dinner, make q
dress, and let her moods slip out Of
her finger tips on a piano, that wom-
an will have chance for truly hap
py home thousand per cent. better
than her beautiful Reighbor who can
not make even an apron, and who
cooks badly for her family.
So say to mothers, whether you
have money or not, teach your >daugh-
ters all the useful and necessary
things In life, so that they will make
good, homelike wives and mothers.

a baker, on registering the birth of
his daughter, at Arad, in Hungary, in.
formed the registrar that he intended
to have her christened Titanic, as she
was born on the day the White Star
liner sank. The official, however, re-
fused to accept this name, as it is
not to be found in the calendar of Ro.
man Catholic saints days, and the
baker had to content himself with the
less topical name of Rosalia- In this
case the rule Of the church, which is
upheld by the state, saved the child
from bearing through life an appella-

say the least Of it, for little girl, but
would also recall for many years one

Elephant Most Intelligent.

The elephant is by long shot the
most intelligent animal under man.
Some horses know a great deal, some
dogs are exceedingly bright, but for
real sound sense and aH-around long
headedness the elephant heads the
list. He is not only bright, he is a
deep thinker and profound philoso-
pher, and has been known to do
things that apparently required moth
ing less than human intelligence
Read the books that have to do with
animal intelligence, with the wonder
full things that our dumb fsllow-beings
have done. and while you will find
much to the credit Of the dog, horse
and other animals. you will be i'm
pressed with the fact that, next tt
man, the brain-power of the elephant
Is the greatest among them all.
