Germany Developing Water Power.

Germany is making more and more
use of her water power for the pro-
duction of electricity. This extended
use of water power has powerfully
contributed to the saving of human
labor, with the result that Germany
can now produce electrical energy al
most as cheaply as the countries pos
sessing an unlimited supply of water
power. The business of extracting
nitrogen from the atmosphere has
been so successful, according to re-
port, that in 1917 the Government
viii be able to dispose Of 100000
tons Of nitrous manure, which If four
times the amount needed in peace

Namino Cities for Dates.

What is. perhaps, the oldest OF all
ways to select name for a city or
street is to name it for certain
date, and yet this has been done in
Brazil for hundreds of years. It was
on January /, 1881, that Portuguese
captain, AIphonso de Souza by name,
entered the mouth Of that marvelously
beautiful bay, on the shores Of which
now stands the capital of the vast re-
public of Brazil. Thinking that he was
sailing into a great river, he named
the stream Rio de Janiero, or January
river, and all through the centuries
the name has remained.
