A statement regarding the water power Caracas. Venezuela, was recently sent to the Pan-American union at Washington. At the present time Caracas consumes an average of 1900 horse power of electricity during the day and 2Oo0 horse power during the night. Something like double the quan- tity is in reserve so that Caracas can be
 sure of 1000 available horse power. A great deal of additional power is within easy reach of the city. A few miles from Caracas are the El Cantado waterfalls with 120o horse power Los Naranjos with 1900 horse power; Lira with 700 horse power, and Mamo with 4so0 horse power
 These waterfalls are already equipped with machinery, but their resources are not fully developed Other waterfalls and streams comparatively close to the city have capacity of at least 2l 800 horse power, so that altogether Caracas can count on 5000 horse power whenever it is needed. The city has population of 7500o. and it's electric supply is ample for all present needs. It has modern trolley car system and the entire city is well lighted. Telephone lines extend out into the rural districts for a considera be distance. Many factories located at Ca racas use electric power. White coal, :" the name given to the sources of electric power, is one of Venezuelas richest as- sets and is destined to play prominent part in that country's development

HOW. DELIGHTFUL.

A glowing ember and a salty sea :: The putrid carcass of a stranded bird; The whitened bones of some unwary fish: stinging nettle by mild breezes
 stirred. A flirting maiden in a flannel suit; The life guard ropes all trembling at her
 sport Loud. striped trunks and whiskered
 wistful gaze. And there you have your famed seaside
 resort. Fried fish for breakfast and fried fish for
 lunch: blistered stroll along the seething
 sand: Fried fish for dinner and dance at
 night; yielding waist and clinging sunburnt
 hand. At last you tumble in two by six And fight mosquitoes till the clock
 strikes three All this and more is yours at so much
 per. Who would rot spend vacation by the
 sea?

The yellow light widens; the mist

seem to shape themselves, and show
their cloaks. A general stir rustles
out of the shelters. The clatter of
cooking pots and boots, even of
voices, begins round us. The night
has been warm, and sultry feeling
falls again at once with the opening
of day. A cavalry patrol, visible al

PARIS, Ooct. 2.-During the ter
rife fighting in northern and eastern
France, the troops of the Allies
have had very little sleep. There
has been a great deal of night fight

The trenches within the circle of

ALMOST 800 PUPILS
ARE ON ROLLS OF
THE C|T\'S SCHOOL
BY FAR THE LARGEST NUMBER
IN THE HISTORY OF CITY OF
COLUMBIA.
ESPECIALLY SO in HIGH school
Work on the Andrews Building Will
Be Completed About November IS,
1t Is Thought, and Then Two Grades
VIII Be Moved From Athenaeun.

There are now about 500 pupils in
the Athenaeum and Andrews schools,
according to Prof. R. L. Harris, SUI
perintendent of the city schools.
This is the largest enrolment in
the history of the city. Both of the
school buildings are crowded to their
capacity, but fortunately the repairs
on the Andrews school will soon re-
lieve the congestion. The Athenaeum
Is taxed, some of the pupils being
seated on the stage in order to get
all of them in the house. AS soon as
the repairs on the other school are
completed, however, which, it is
thought, will be finished by the mid
die of November, two of the grades
will be moved over there, leaving
enough room at the Athenaeum for
the other six grades and the high
school the rest of the year. 1t is
hoped to have the high school ready
for occupancy by next fall.
The enrolment at the high school
is especially gratifying. There are
more pupils in attendance at 1t now
than there were all last year. While
exact figures cannot be gotten now,
1t is estimated that there are more
than ESQ enrolled to date. They come
from all parts of the county. In fact,
the high school has proved to be the
most popular feature of the school
1t has gradually and steadily grown
every year since it was established.
AS stated above, it will probably be
spring before work on the new high
school building will begin. All Of the
repairs on the Andrews school will
be done first, and then the building
committee will turn it's attention to
the high school.

Millions in SkunkS
Can You Beat Il!

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 15.-
Just common skunks are worth $3,-
100000 annually to trappers in the
United States.
Their fur is regarded in Europe as
equal to, and in some places better
than, the Russian sable.
And still only thirteen states pro-
tect the animal by game laws.
These facts are emphasized by the
United States department of agricul-
ture which just issued bulletin on
the Economic Value of North Am
erican Skunks." The states are: Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri,
Kansas, New York, New Jersey, Della
ware, New Hampshire, Maine, Ver-
mont and North Carolina.
In 1911, the department declares,
100000 skunk skins were sold by
American trappers in London. Many
of these skins, the department says,
are dyed and shipped back to the
United States and sold to American
women as "black marten" or ALASKA
Sable"
