VAST R00N FUR DEVELOP NJ IN
 UNITED STATES

In recent statement made by Franklin k. Lane, former secretary ol the interior he points out one or the main factors which enabled the Tar sighted. purposeful German natloh 70 hold up under tour and half years or war. One ef Germany's strong points was her water power and the strength of the great power plants run py streams flowing from snows ot the Alps. "Of course" adds MT Lane .'Germany did not depend on her water power for all the electric current pro duced but took advantage of her re- sources that she otherwise would not have had"
 From the figures given in this report it is well for the American people to realize the present waste of the water power. The stationary plants Of the United States have a capacity of 3O, 900, 900 horse power but they are not called on for more than 6,00O.O00 con tinuous horsepower. About one-slxth of the power is produced by water--the rest being steam and gas If every stream in the country could be fully utilized at all seasons they would sup ply 320, ,0O0, 900 horse e-power.
 The estimate of Dr. Charles F. Stein metz based on statements from the geological survey points out that the power of the United States available for development is 54,000,000 continu- ous horse-power-nine times as much as all the power now used in stationary prime motors.
 MT. Lane has in mind the potential
 wealth of the country and urges the development of the water power so as to export much of our coal that is now being used in steam plants. The prob lem to be solved affects the east to greater extent than the west, as the east has only one-third of the water power, but has most of the factories.

 Great improvement in the electric light itself has taken place within the last few years. A trip to the other countries or to places where there is no electricity will easily convince the most skeptical what a great boon the electric light has been to the men and women of America in the saving of their eyes. All of these improvements have resulted in more economy of cleo tricity in addition to the power A per son who is using an old-type electric light at the present time is wasting money.

MYSTERY OF GREAT LAKES
Scientists Unable to Explain the Rise
and Fall of tho Water Along
the Border.

Why does the water in the grea
lakes that lie between a large portion
Of the United States and Canada rise
and fall In periods which average sew
en- yearsi This natural phenomenon
has been a puzzle since the days when
France held sway In Canada 200 years
ago.
In an unpublished diary of an Eng
lish traveller who voyaged up the ST.
Lawrence river to Niagara. Ontario.
In the summer of 1875. is the follow
ing reference to this mystery Of the
waters: "A remarkable circumstance
was told me by Mr.. Pansee, our con-
tuctor, who had been constantly en-
gagged In this navigation for nearly
twenty years, and which he advised
me is matter Of fact both from his
own observation and that of the old
est inhabltant. Each year the st.
Lawrence river settles or falls little
until the seventh year, when II is viSi-
hle that II has sunk between three
and four feet. and then for the next
seven years it continues to rise in tho
same proportion. TIE river is at this
time at its greatest elevation tJuly l,
1850. | took pains to gain some in
formation of this uncommon phenDm-
enon, | find that the lakes have the
same appearance"
Careful government records were be-
gun about the year 1920 and since then
1t has been found that the periods he
tween high and low water are some
times as low as four years and some
times as high as nine years, although
they average seven years. This year
the water is again at its lowest in
the lakes and river, and freight car
riers are having trouble in various
harbors.-Christian Science Monitor.

transmissons and reception with vari-
Gus types of aerials has been In prog

questions at the present time Is as to
the relative advantages of the antenna,

many advantages, but is usually not so
