One literal soul to whom the ques.
ton was recently put objected that
there aren't that many horses in the
world"
There are not. The objection was
perfectly sound. But the fact remains
that the power output of this countrys
central stations Is just about equal to
the energy of those twelve billion by
pothetical equines.
And that is not one-half of the total
electrical power produced in the
United States. The twelve billion to
tai includes only public service com
panies and does not include the great
steam railroad and manufacturing
companies which produce and use
their own power The total power thus
produced Is easily double the output
OF the central stations.
1t is a little difficult for the mind Ia
grasp what such vast amounts of pow,
er really mean. Take 1t this way The
largest standard locomotive which pull
the fastest passenger trains are rated
at about 5000 horsepower. 1t would
take nearly 100000 of these big 10.
comotives to equal the energy pro,
duced by American electrical power
stations. Take the biggest transatlan-
tic liner. nearly thousand feet long
with its engines rated at 10000 horse.
power. To equal the electrical power
output OF the United States would
take 342,S57 Of these liners. with q
combined length that would reach
more than twice around the globe.
The figures OF the census of 1910 on
the electrical industry are astounding,
and yet these statistics are admittedly
incomplete
1.-THE growth OF electrical industries
has been so rapid" recently declared
DIR. Schuyler Skaats Wheeler. "that
no method has yet been devised by
the government census takers to elias
sify its ramifcations in the census OF
manufactures, No matter to what ex.
tent the steam railroads electrify
they are still classified under steam
railroads. The thousands of poles used
to string wires are classified under
the lumber industry The great cop
per companies, producing practically
exclusively for electrical Industries
are classified under the copper indus
tries"
DR., Wheeler estimates that the to
tai business in electrical machinery IN
the United States was In the neigh
borhood OF $30O,OOo,000 for 1912, This
estimate seems conservative when We
realize that the last census reported
the total business for 1909 at s243,0O0,
900.
Facts and figures like these make

Our Daily Life,

Our daily companionship with
Christ should be the saving power of
all our living. II We begin the day IN
prayer with him II will strengthen us
for the days tasks and temptations
and hard places. II We every day con-
suit his words of life they viii go
with us, sweetening all the day ana
mak'yg tender and compassionate our
hearts beside setting the tone OF all
cur transactions. Above all. true com
partnership with him Is to look at all
men and all problems through his
eyes. TO take his attitude toward life.
This is to have the mind OF Christ.
Christ is manifested to the world not
through sermons. but by the daily wit

are all Christlike the world may not
accept him. but II will know him as

there was a more cheerful inton alton
In her voice.
Bedight sat upon a log and watched
the white-caps whip themselves along
the shore. The sky was clear and
the moon came out from its nest be-
hind the wood and glowed like a ball
of crimson ochre. For an hour he sat
thus. when he heard q step upon the
gravel behind him.

smoky with heat that generated a
strange restlessness among the Quiv-
sring trees. while the air was sur
charged with a portentous quietude
that presaged 4 clash Of elemental
flry. A black cloud stood upon the
rtm OF the lake and caused a look OF
concern In Bedight's eyes. A glance
in Miss McConnell's direction showed
the girl absorbed In her work. The
mayor picked up a magazine and
stretched himself upon the sward be-
meath . huge yellow birch. He was
attracted from his story a half hour
later By = shadow across the sun.
Hurriedly springing to his feet. he
scanned the sky. A mass Of black with
livid green patches and scurrying fore
runners Of white froth lay like a
monstrous curtain across the west.

roots Of mammoth trees. A deep rum

across the sky. warning the creatures
q the earth that soon their master
would be abroad In the land to wreck
and destroy.
The woman, too. aware Of the dan
ger, sat gazing apprehensively at the
disturbed sky.
oh, Mr.. Bedight," she cried, with
tho veriest tribe of anxiety In her
voice. I'VE must be going. The sky
looks like a storm"
The mayor came over 10 Miss Nc

advised. quietly. The storm will
break before We can reach the Inn"
But We cannot stay in this ruined
hut. II leaks and the doors are gone"
objected Miss Mcconnell. Come on.
let's be on
The man hesitated.
Don't you think II wiser to remain
here until the storm Is over, We are
long ways from Squirrel lnn." coun-
seled the mayor.
But the wind will kick up the lakes
until we can't get across for hours"
cried the woman nervously.
Sometimes" said Bedight. looking
squarely at her. "a man is not as
dangerous after dark as q wind
storm by day"
NONSENSE" exclaimed Miss McCon-
nell. where's your sporting blood.
Let's make a try for IT,"
The mayor turned and walked down
to the boat. The girl followed and got
aboard. He rolled up the sleeves OF
his light shirt and took the oars. As
he did 10. a drop Of rain fell into the
Loaf.
