Heavy Losses of Power.
It must not be imagined that all the

in the markets. To begin with given

and turning it. Thus 1000 horse power

ing the shaft of the water wheel. Ten
per cent of this latter power is lost
in turning the generator, so that only
" per cent of the rivers original
power lands at the electric switch
board in the form of electrical energy.
This is usually produced at low vol
tage, and it is sent through step-up
transformer to give it a higher pres
sure. Here another loss of from 3 to
S per cent occurs. Ten per cent Of
what is left is lost on the transmission
lines, and from 3 to per cent more
at the transformer at the market end
of the line In the local distribution
to the customer from 6 to 10 per cent
is lost, so that of the original 100 per
cent of power theoretically contained
in the falling waters rarely more than
So per cent is available for sale to
the consumer. Later on in the course
Of these articles showing will be
made of the causes and the amount
of these losses, which are not without

Eight Hundred Men as Workers.
AS many as 500 men will be required
for several months on the next dam
that is built on the Chippewa, wheth-
it be at Paint Creek or some other
location. During construction these
men are housed and fed at temporary
camps established near the work or
at contiguous farm houses A construc'
ton plant in the way of drills, hoists,
batteries of cement mixers, stone
crushers industrial railways, the saw
mill, quarrying tools, and the thousand
and one other necessary accessories
will have to be provided, at an expense
of approximately $15O,OOO. Not all OF
this investment Is wasted, because a
considerable part of it can be removed
and reserved for the next similar job.
The next dam on the Chippewa will
use 10000 horse power of the energy
of the rivers waters 1t will turn for
the making of electricity four 5000
kilowatt generators and one of 1000
kilowatts capacity. 1t will take better
than half a years time to built it, and
will make a big hole into million and
a half dollars. Verify, the building
of water power facility of these d.

CHAPTER III.
Across the Bridge.

1t was ten o'clock, not later, when
the judge re-entered his front door, He
was alone-absolutel alone, as he had
never been since that night Of long
ago, when with the inner fence com
pleted and the gates all locked; he
turned to the great negro at his side
and quietly said:
1--WE are done with the world, Bella.
Are you satisfied to share this solitude
with me?" And Bella had replied:
Might and day, your honor. And
when you are not here-when you are
at court, to bear it alone"
And now this faithful friend was
dead, and 1t was he who must bear it
alone alone! How could he face it!
He sought Tor no answer, nor did he
allow himself to dwell for one minute
on the thought. There was something
else he must do frst-do this very
night, If possible.
Taking down his hat from the rack,
