THE BIG PLANT
Description of the Stone & Webster
 Work at Falls Village.


 The Public Service Journal for Sep- tember says of the Stone tS Webster plant at FallsVillaRe: The present power plant in process of construction is not the first company projected for developing the power on the Housatonie river at this point, as some 60 years ago an at. tempt was made and dam and canal constructed. However. when water was admitted to the canal the latter proved unsuitable, and the water seeped through. flooded a considerable amount of land in the village and the project was given mp. A portion of the old canal, which will be enlarged and lined with concrete, will be used for the new development. which consists in general of a dam and head works, q canal. fore bay, penstocks and power station, and about 40 miles of transmission lines. A dam, whIoh will be built of concrete of the gravito type. will be IA feet in height, with spillway section of about 325 feet, and will be built across the river just above Great Falls. From the dam will run a canal 30 feet wide. l2 feet deep and about 300 feet long to the forebay. From the forebay three more penstooks and two smaller ones leading down the hillside to the power house will be built Provision is made for fourth penstock when needed. The power station will have a concrete ub.structure and steel super. structure. There will be three 5000 horse power water wheels connect. ed to generators which will furnish tho power to be carried about 40 miles on line of steel towers to Torrington, Thomaston and Bristol. Construction work of the plant is in full swing, and the manufacturers in the towns where power will be delivered are looking for ward with pleasure to the time when they can obtain their power through purchase more oheaply than they can manufacture it themselves.

Origin of the Turban.

The origin of the turban must be
looked for not. as commonly believed,
among Moslems, but as a sign of au-
thority and honor dating back to the
earliest periods of Jewish history.
The term used In the Hebrew Bible
for putting on the bonnet of the high
priest is from a root meaning Ito bind
rotnd." The words miter, hood, dia-
dem, as used in the Old Testament,
are only variations of the word tur-
ban. Jerome tells us that the turban
has place in the most ancient records
of history. The variations as adopted
by Mohammedans are many. Their
own authorities hint at thousand
methods of arranging the turban,
which show not only the tribe and re-
ligious distinction. but even the per-
sonal peculiarities of the wearer An
old legend traces the turban to an act
Of desperate courage recorded of the
ancient Levantines. A brave band of
warriors are said to have wrapped
their winding sheets round their heads
as they devoted themselves to certain
death to save their comrades on the
