BILLIONS WASTED EACH YEAR
That country's Water Power Is So lit
tie Used Is a Reflection on citi-
zens' Intelligence.

In the early days of this country the
grist mill was built where there was
water power, and in time other indus-
tries also located there for the same
reason, H. Fl. Windsor writes in POpu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. Many of our
largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
many of the best water powers were
so inaccessible, and the surrounding
country so unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today, thanks to the electric motor,
transmission lines, and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient to
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to it.
Every "a hours there goes to waste
unused water power equivalent to the
coal energy of 100000 tons, or $685.
100000 tons each year. At a low aver
age of present prices this waste repre-
sents $4,000, 100000 yearly.
Switzerland gets her coal from Ger
many. This year the supply is only
two-thirds of requirements, yet Swift
zerland will pay Germany over $4,000
100000 for coal. At the present mo-
ment there are ~undeveloped water pow
ers in Switzerland amounting to $780,
900 horse power which, with $4,000
horse power already harnessed, would
make Switzerland almost independent
of outside coal supply.
Our own unused water powers remain
~undeveloped because the restrictions
our government demands do not appeal
TO private enterprise, which naturally
is reluctant to invest vast sums under
Il franchise which may be terminated
at any time. With the financial burdens
with which u government will
emerge from this war, it will doubtless
be years before congress would feel
justified in apprOpriating the money
necessary to make this development.
1t would seem wise, therefore, rather
than wait an indefinite number of
years, that a franchise of say so years
should be granted, with privilege Of
taking over the properties at the end
of that time on some basis of valuation
fair to government and owners. On
such a basis development would begin
at once.
In the meantime the 10000 600 tons
value of coal is rushing to the sea
every "a hours. an absolute waste,
without the slightest benefit to any
one.

Harqes to Foil U-Boats.

II actual trials prove the scheme to
be practicable, it Is understood that In
order to heck the depredations of the
enemy's U-boats, immense oceangoing
barges towed by powerful armed tugs,
may be used instead OF steamships for
transporting freight through the sub
marine Long, low-sltting, in
closed craft of steel construction will
be tested. Crews being unnecessary,
the barges are to be decked a few
inches above the water line so that
from a distance they will be practi-
cally invisible to a periscope. AS Is
perhaps generally known, a tub, be-
cause Of its small size and compara-
lively shallow draft, offers a torpe-
do a poor target. In a gun duel, should
a U-boat risk a fight, the ting would
have nearly an even break with the
enemy.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

WANTED TO THANK DONORS
After This, II Would BE Folly to Say
That Sailors Do Not Appreciate
Gifts.

Mrs. Anna Steese Richardson writes
In the Woman's Home companion:
"As for knitted garments, l wish
you could have been with me one day
at a certain naval base near New
York, when the crew of a ship which
had been accidentally sunk In our
very harbor entered the c~haplain's Of
fce to receive their fresh supply Of
knitted garments. They had all lost
their clothing, barely escaping with
their lives.
1.-THE boys lined up like the we'll
trained sailors they were, tucked their
supplies under their arms and marched
out again, headed by On officer. But
the moment they broke ranks outside
headquarters each boy became alb
sorbed in his own particular package
Of knitted garments and comfort bag,
turning the sweaters, the helmets, the
wristlets and even the bags inside out,
poking inquiring fingers into every cor
ner.
What are they looking for-sizes?'
| asked the young officer at my elbow.
Dear, no. said my guide with a
laugh. Letters, notes, the addresses
of the lady who knitted the garment
or filled the bag. They want to write
back and say thank you
after watching their frenzied
search for notes and addresses, moth
ing can ever make me believe that the
boys do not appreciate such gifts

RATS MARCH LIKE SOLDIERS
Rodents Have Little Difficulty In Find
ing Supply of Food, and Adapt
Themselves to Conditions.

The ready adaptabllity Of rats to
their surroundings is one of the quail
ties which has enabled them to con-
auer the world, f w. Nelson writes
in the National Geographic Magazine.
On the approach of warm weather
in summer large numbers of them
leave buildings and resort to fields on
farms or to the outskirts of the towns,
where the growing vegetation. particu-
larly cultivated plants, affords them
an abundant supply until the approach
of winter. At the beginning OF cold
weather they return again to the shell
ter of buildings, where they find the
harvested crops ready for their con-
sumption.
When the food supply suddenly de-
creases, following period of plenty
during whirl me Yatss1have greatly
Increased in numbers, migratory I'M
pulse appears to affect the entire rat
population over large areas and a
general migration takes place. AT
such times the rats are extraordinarily
bold, swimming rivers without hesita-
ton, and surmounting all other natu-
raj obstacles. The first invasion OF Eu-
rope, when rats swan the Volga, was
an instance of this kind. Expert
ments by the United States public
health service have shown that when
released in the water of harbor rats
may swim ashore for distance OF
1900 yards.

SOME FAMOUS BATTLE CRIES
"MarmaIade Forever" Peculiar Slogan
Which Scotch Regiment Orig.
mated During Charge.

"Marmalade forever" This quaint
battle cry originated from a certain
Scotch regiment during charge in
the present war, says London An
swers. "Stand, the Camerons Is the
roar of another regiment Of the "kilt-
les" and serves to corroborate the
fact chat as official reports have it.,
"the spirit of our troops Is excel
lent
Among others there is the gallant
cry of "Stlck it, Welsh" uttered by
the late Captain Haggard, which has
been an inspiration to many Welsh
bards. 1t is sad to recall that Capt. E.
Langdale, whilst encouraging his
men with the gallant cry Of "Come on.
the Lecestershires !" fell on the field.
But the Leicestershires did "come OF" "
with disastrous results to the Huns.
We must not forget, however, that
famous cry of "Kamerad!" uttered by
whole German regiments, which has
perhaps, encouraged our men more
than any othcR There is an amusing
tale told of one of our Tommies who.
during charge, was about to give
certain Hun glimpse OF the
"great beyond" when up went Fritz's
hands.
"Kamerad!" he yelled.
Tommy lowered his bayOnet.
"Hang it!n he muttered. "That's
the blooming word I was trying to
think of when arguing with Nobby
Smith! !"
