The Observer has often called
attention to the importance of
motive power, other than that
engendered by human muscles,
as an element in national,, state,
county and individual progress
To emphasize this the following
figures are reproduced from vol
VII part II 12 U. S. Census Bo-
port
The 612,264 manufacturing
establishments in the United
! States, in 1900 operated 1 1,800,-
081 horse power In 1890 the
366,416 manufacturing estab
lishments used 6,954,665 horse
power. In 1900 steam was the
motive power for 8,742,416 of
the horse power used in the
factories in the United States or
77.4 per cent of all the power
used. Water furnished 1,727,
258 horse power or 15,3 percent
of all the power used in manu
facturing in the United Stales
in 1900. Electricity was the
motive power for 16,923 motors
in 1900, with an aggregate horse
power of 311,016 being 2 J--per
cent of the total horse power
used in the factories of the
United States. J4j
In 1890 the number of electric
motors was not reported hut Ike
horse power run by electricity
was given at 16,669 showing an
increase in ten years of 295,447
horse power, or nearly nineteen
fold.
The characteristic of electric-
ity is that the energy can be
generated by a water fall or
mountain cataract and trans
mitted ou a wire a longdistance
and there epplied to a motor
that will set machinery to whirl-
General Stoessel is said to
have been surprised when he
was told General Kuropatkln
had been defeated and driven
back near Mukden. He . asked
where the Russian commander
was end hU surprise was un
bounded when the information
was given him. Moreover, he
said be had sent out Chinese
spies to securs information, and
these informed him Kpropatkin
was within 20-mtles of Port Ari'
thur. It i not surprising that
the Chinese deceived the Russian
general, but it is astonishing
that his home government did
not acquaint him with the facts.1
He and his men were bravely'
defending the place in hope

It issnnounced that Andrew
Carnegie has donated $39,325,
249 for free libraries. Of this
snm $29,084,080 has been given
in the United States. Mr. Car
negie baa thus founded 1290
libraries, of whioh 779 ere in
this country. Those figures ere
highly interesting. While some
persons have been disposed to
Criticise the steel magnate for
giving so much for such par
poses, it most be remembered
he bad to struggle to get hold of
the books he needed when a
boy. He knows the benefits of
libraries, and there can be no I
doubt that in , every library
founded by him many young
flown will secure the self-educa-lion
needed to enable them to
take commanding positions in
the world. 11
