New York's Po,ver Plant

The greatest station for generating
electric power is being built by the
New York Edison company at Four
teenth street and the East river. The
building and machinery will cost $780,
100000, and the station will have a
capacity Of approximately 100000
horse power, considerably more than
the entire projected development Of
Muscle Shoals. This one station can
supply current enough to light 3,OOO,-
600 houses-more than there are in
the whole state of New York outside
New York city. With this addition.
the generating stations in New York
city can produce as much lighting and
power current as Is used in all France.
That gives an idea of the extraor-
binary use Of electric light and power
in the United States.-Youth's Com
panion.

Why Trade at Home.
FIRST PRIZE.

(AIrs. Margaret H. Jordan, Ellsworth)
That "a chain is no stronger than
it's weakest link" can well be ap-
piled to our own city for we are
composed of links so dependent one
on the other that to weaken one al
fects the whole.
These links-which are our
people, our schools, our churches,
our banks, our newspaper, our mer-
chants and our business enterprises
make up the chain of life in our
community. When we link our
selves with a community, or, in other
words, when we choose a city or
town in which to live, and accept its
privileges and advantages, we should
realize we have a community Obliga-
ton that must be faced. We are a
unit in the aggregate and have a
part to play.
Our merchants, banks and bust
ness enterprises are the links we
should aim to keep the strongest,
for they are the foundation on which
our chain is founded, and should
they fail from our non-support, the
IcSI Ill uSL, VI uCCCoolCy, WCohCh.
Our merchants carry everything
one can use, from nursing bottles
to baskets; they can build our homes
and furnish them throughout, pro-
tect us with every kind of insurance,
safeguard our money and valuables,
build our machinery, meet our every
demand for automobiles, clothe us
with up-to-the-minute apparel, feed
us on the best in the land; in fact,
they can minister to our every need,
and they give us full value for our
money and gladly make good any
thing which might prove unsatis-
factory. What more could we ask?
Buying out of town is largely
habit, and nine times out of ten,
when you look your purchases over
you will find you could have bought
the same goods in your own shops
for the same money.
Get acquainted with your own
places of business. You will be
surprised at the variety your city
affords. Try to buy at home first,
and if you can't get what you want,
then, and then only, are you justified
in helping other cities prosper. Your
first duty is to your home business.
Let us, then, as citizens, recognize
our community obligations and, by
our cooperation and loyalty to our
home trade, so strengthen our chain
that there shall be no weak links.

Wolves Come Back

Wolves have been increasing for
several years, especially in the north
ern states. When the price of wolf
skins ran as high AZ $50 the animals
were hunted with enthusiasm. while
today, with the value Of skins less than
half what 1t was, the wolves are often
allowed to increase. The danger from
wolves is especially great in Canada.
and these cross the border into the
United States in large numbers. prey

POISON OF BORCIAS
MIDDLE-ACE MYTH?
Modern Science Sheds Light
on Subject.

OF all the names in the vast rOgues
gallery of history, none shines with
such sinister effulgence as that OF
Borgia. The characteristic Of the
BOrgias-Alexander W., Caesare, and
Lucrezia-which has made the great
est appeal to the popular imagination,
Is their ability as plotters and poison
ers. They are credited with the most
complex stratagems and with innumer-
able murders, committed with most
artistic subtlety and variety of meth
cd. The usual impression Is that an
endless procession Of cardinals, dukes
and princes dined with, drank the
health Of or accepted rings from the
fatal family, and died weeks later
without visible symptoms of foul play.
The legend is so terrible that 1t seems
almost a pity 1t is not true.
. However, the facts are that Lucre-
zia supposedly the blacklist figure of
the three, was really nothing more
than q rather immoral, and certainly
very stupid woman with no prOvable
criminal record at all Caesare, her
brother, was simply mediocre free
lance soldier, raised to dukedom by
the power Of his patron, the pope. His
outstanding murders-those OF his
brother, his brother-in-law, and Ashore
Manfredi-were rough, vulgar affairs
Of cold steel in the hands of servants.
Alexander vi seems to have been
the only poisoner in the family; and
the poison he chiefly affected, when
diagnosed in the light of contemporary
accounts of the deaths of his victims,
is disappointment merely an arsen-
ious solution comparable to modern
rat poison.
There is no authentic support for
the fable about his presentation OF
rings with small, sharp fangs on the
inside, which scratched the victim
and caused lingering death; there Is
in any case, no poison suitable for
administration in just this way except
curare, which is even today exceed
ingly difficult to obtain and which was
then unknown.
The only really picturesque mode
of assassination in vogue anywhere
near the period, in fact, Is one men,
toned by Benvenuto Cellini; poison
ing by the administration of powdered
diamond. Crushed glass, as Is now well
known, does not deserve the reputa-
ton it once enjoyed, nor, according to
Cellini, do other crushed jewels pro
duce the genuine diamond effect, their
fractures being comparatively blunt
and their material soft. The diamond
however, powders into innumerable
needles with points Of extreme tineness,
which do not blunt, and which gradu-
ally penetrate the walls Of the
stomach.
SO it seems that the long -derided
story about lingering deaths from one
dose Of Borgia poison may have a
foundation in fact. Alexander had
plenty of foes to whom he wished all
the agony possible-and plenty Of dia-
monds.-F. r. Buckley, in Adventure
Magazine.
