WATER POWER PROGRESS

Water wheels in power plants in
the United States showed capaeitv
OF 1l,721 900 horsepower at the be-
ginning of this year, according to a
late government report, an increase
OF $4,000 horsepower during 1926.
Approximately three times as much
water power is being produced at
present as was produced in 1910.
California leads in the amount of
WaterpoWer developed, with New
York second, and Alabama third.
Waterpower now constitutes little
more than one-fifth of the total pow
er generated by prime movers in the
United States.
Steady growth in waterpower de-
veloped for many years seems as
sured, and with the great increase in
steam plant capacity continually be-
ing made no one can predict the
enormous amount of power that viii
be available to the people of Ameri-
ca few years hence.
That the use f electric power will
become general in farming as we'll as
manufacturing operations within the
next two or three decades can hard
~ be doubted, and it is probably in
this direction that the solution of ag
rlcultural problems may be found.

THE STORY OF The
PRODUCTION OF A
ST'UPENDOUS PLAY

When NJ. Jean Sapene decided t,
produce Jules Verne's story, mich
ael Strogoff, through his Films d.
France company, he determined tina
it should be the most spectacular
production ever made in Europe. L
undoubtedly is that, and by a wide
margin. Those who have seen it claim
for it the distinction of being the
most elaborate, spectacular and sump-
tuous production m/de anywhere this
year.
Under the artistic direction of Louis
Nalpas every possible endeavor was
made to reproduce with exact fidel-
ity the scenes, the time and the cos
tunes and manners of the period
OF the Jules Verne story. By trans
porting the entire production to Lat
via, the new Russian republic, in
which costumes, customs, scenery and
architecture have scarcely changed
for the last seventy-five years, one
OF the objectiyes was most satisfac
torily achieved. Riga and the small
Ter cities, towns and countrysides of
Latvla presented exactly the Russian
type of architecture and peasant
types required.
Among the most marvellous inter-
lor sets constructed were those re-
