Water Power.

Few would expect to find any con- nection between a modern hydroelec- tric plant and a prayer. The connec- tion is indeed remote, but not undis- coverable. The first application of wa ter power to mechanical purposes was made by Buddhist priests when they employed the energy of running streams to the work of turning prayer wheels. That. then, may be said to constitute the origin of the application of water power to perform mans la- bors, the foreshadowing of the great industrial development now in progress for the harnessing of the worlds wa terfa1ls, rivers and streams.
