The Electric Era.

This is the electric era. Back in the
centuries that are past we had the
stone age, the ice age, ETC., but the
electrical age is purely the utilization
OF natural forces by the genius of man.
In the 25 years last past probably
greater progress has been made in
electrical power development than in
any othen sphere of human activity.
This has been done by scientific con-
version of power represented in the
flow Of water to an invisible current
to almost everything that required
power. light or heat. Twenty-Five
years ago there were no trolley cars,
no. street cars propelled by electricity.
This silent but potent force was
known, but little used. In a quarter
of a century it has come into general
use. Naturally, the first development
of electric power was at the source of
the greatest quantity Of power any
where to be found on earth, the Falls
Of Niagara. 80 Harvesting Niagara and
Tunneling Catskills," by Edward T.

Ruyino crimean Clothes.

The weather, as an English mill

have a great effect on the war 1t is
necessary, therefore, that abundance
of warm clothing be provided for the
soldiers But we have not always

the British troops suffered terribly
from the cold until some clothing
genius invented a pilot jacket of
sheepskin So many of these were
made that after the war there was a

His name is George Branch. Quiet,
unassuming, with laugh at what he

Il had little timber, but managed
to get enough over to the workings
to put down good ladder and keep

and l had to hit the trail back for

ent, Emperor William was at the Op-

Last Sunday the Emperor, with some
of his aides, arrived by motor car at
Thielt, where apartments had been
reserved for him at tie hotel and
where dinner was waiting.
1.-The Emperor's personal baggage
already had been deposited in the bed
room in which he was to spend the
night. The Emperor, in his hurry, did
not dress for dinner, and Immediately
after dining, instead of retiring, hur-
riedly left the tavern with two aides
and motored to the other end of the
town, where other rooms were en-
gagged.
Twenty minutes later six bombs
fell on the hotel and the Emperor
baggage in his room was completely
destroyed. Two of the aides who had
remained at the hotel were killed and
their motor car, which was waiting in
the yard, was wrecked"

Washington, Aug. 7.-Secretary Of War Garrison said today that the pan ic of Americans in Europe is practic- ally over and that the relief work is now we'll in hand. He stated that he has not yet chartered relief ships, but that he can do so for any emerg- ency.
 Figures collected at the consular agencies abroad show that the total number of Americns in Europe is between 3O,OOO and 35,000 The secre- tary said the first estimates of the number of American refugees were greatly exaggerated. Secretary Grri- son called attention to the informa- tion received from Ambassador Her rick from Paris, that within ten days vans will be able to convey tourists to a point on the Mediterranean and that in all probability few liners will be able to bring more passengers from France than all the American ships that could be chartered.
 The news from England is also fav- orable to early transportation of passengers. It is reported that a number of tourists are coming home through Norway. Germany alone is
