the fattening of their own bank accounts are beginning to turn their attention to the long neglected water power of the eastern and southern states. The move menf is still in it's infancy and much more water will run wastefully under many bridges before 1t crystalizes Into concrete action.

 But it has one economically hopeful outlook which the old mills lacked. Since their time electric power has becoTnt known not only known but of constant ly widening practical use. Electric pow CT can be just as surely developed b, water wheels as by steam engines and electric power, once secured, can be con Keyed considerable distar3ces with out appreciabie loss. The little stream whose waters can supply but ten or twen- l ty horsepower cannot hope to com pete alone, with the mammoth con
 structions of Lawrence, Mass, or Mime 1 apoEs, Minn. But, on one of the four small streams of which I first spoke so great is the descent, so steep and long the 1 fall that at least a dozen dams could be built down its course each one using the same water over, and over again. and each one developing it's full power. This means, for the full length of the stream, 2. dozen ten to twenty horse power plants.
 Electrically united, these give from 120
 to 240 horse-power-an amount which is
 not to be sneered at. Nor need things
 stop there. The power of the other lneighboring streams, similarly developed and electrically combined, would bring
 the total up to really imposing figures.
 It is not likely that the little old wool.

Oysters Have Many Enemies.

Between the planning and the har-
vest, an interval Of from two to five
years, the oyster cuIturist assumes
many hazards. Or the New England
coast, after all his material is down.
the tickle set may not appear pos
sibly because at the critical time some
weather disturbance may have killed
the baby oysters while they were yet
swimming near the surface. In the
Gulf of Mexico the set may be so
heavy that there is scant room for the
oysters to grow, and many die, while
those that are left are half starved
and misshapen from crowding. Even
when the little oysters or "spat," have
attached themselves in favorable num-
bers, their perils have just begun.
They are never safe from other enc
mics until they fall into the hands of
their arch foes.

How Mrs. Monroe Was Instrumental
In Saving the Life of Madame
Lafayette.

An interesting sidelght on history
lies in the story of how the wife of
James Monroe, fifth President, saved
the life of Madame Lafayette mt the
time Monroe was American amhasSa-
dor to France. Lafayette himself was
in prison in Germany, and kept in N
foul dungeon. Nine. Lafayette had
been seized by the Revoutionlsts and
was confined in. the prison Of La Force
and date had been set for her eXecu-
ton. . The Monroes were very much
alive to the great debt America owed
the young aristocrat, and Mrs. Monroe
determined to do what she could.
She ordered the state coach of the
embassy, with its flaring coat of arms,
to deliver her to the doors of the
prison Of La Force, and once there,
calmly requested an interview with the
unfortunate prisoner. An interview
with a person sentenced to the knife
was unheard Of but the dawning
power of the United States was such
that the officials dared not refuse the
ISiuS9l VI lLS dHlbdSSttuoi . NiLS'
few words were exchanged between
the women, and Mrs. Monroe drove
away. The next morning she was
liberated, the French Revolutionists
fearing to execute her, and desiring
thus to secure the friendly attention
of the new nation. It was a daring
thing to do, for the results might have
been disastrous and all sorts Of in
ternational complications Aight have
arisen.

Wild Geese in the British Isles.

The tribe of wild geese of Europe
are birds of mystery. Their nesting
grounds, and thus their true homes,
are In the far north, in the wilds of
Spitzbergen, and on the inaccessible
island Of Kolguev. 1t is only as visi-
tors that they come to the British
Islands, for in the regions that ap-
proach the pole winter comes early,
and thus all bird life is driven south
ward, flying at incredible speed on the
arms Of the north wind as they make
for their winter quarters in more hos
pitable lands.
