A successful experiment has recently
been made at Telluride, Colorado, in
the transmission.of energy by electricity.
The power ia generated by a waterfall
9,000 feet above the sea level and is used
in a mine 8 miles distant and 12,000
feet above sea level. . The situation .of
the mine is such as to make the use of
fuel and steam power impossible. The
line over which the electrical energy is
transmitted is inaccessible daring nine
months of the year. Nearly half of the
poles are set in holes blasted in the solid
rock and the line alone cost $40,000, yet
the economy due to the use of the water
power has made the enterprise profita
ble. As compared with this the cost of
transmitting power to this city for man
ufacturing and other, purposes, from
Deschutes, or. Hood River or possibly
from the dalles rapids, would be a mere
bagatelle. With the prospect of the
city of Buffalo being supplied with dec-
trical energy from Niagara Falls and the
possibility that the world's fair will be
supplied With energy and light from the
same source there is nothing hazardous
in the prophecy that some day, in the
not distant future, the vast sources of
energy that lie at our very doors will be
put to Borne important and profitable
public use.
That the day will come when "elec
tricity will be harnessed to furnish power
lor the farm is something that may be
confidently expected. An electric motor
- furnished power to run a plow, in .Bice
county, Kan., a few days ago, turning
the furrow deep and fast. ...This settles
JLhe plow question, so far as .the. practi
cability of the idea. The predictions of
many, that in time the diversified in
.dus tries once carried on upon the farm
-will again find their place there through
the agency of the electrical motor, are in
a fair way to be verified. . When one
stops to consider the wonderful advances
made in electrical science, during the
past 15 years, it is no wild idea to proph
esy that but a few years will elapse be
fore all power needed for the. ordinary
farm operations may be - supplied, . and
cheaply, too, by the electrical current.
In line with this advance is the bill In
troduced into congress by Senator Feffer
to establish an experiment station to
determine whether electricity can be
profitably applied on the farm to run
.machinery and implements. -
The nomination of Hon. A. S. Bennett
'to the supreme judgeship, by the demo
cratic state convention yesterday, re
flects the highest credit on a party, that
like its great . rival, too often allows
other - considerations than merit ' and
capcity to direct, its . nominations, for
public offices. . Judge Bennett is a self-
made man. The -high, place he now
occupies as a lawyer and a man, he has
won for himself by the assidious cultiva
tion of a naturally high order of mental
endowment and by unbending devotion
to right principles. No one who knows
Judge Bennet will question his sterling
integrity or eminent, ability. Should he
-gain the high distinction of being elected
in a state so overwhelmingly republican,
the interests of the people will be aa safe
in his hands as in those of any other
within the confines of the nation., . More
than this we cannot say for anyone apd
less than this is less than is ..deserved
from one who has known the judge from
boyhood. - : . '-. ' .

' Vacation Expeditions
It is not tk new thing for students in
vacation to make scientific expeditions
on their own account, combining camp
ing and "roughing It" with congenial
study, but an expedition of the kind
which was successfully carried out dur
ing the vacation season of the present
year deserves to be noted as of especial
importance and significance.
-- A party consisting of a-professor and
several students of Bowdoin college, in
Maine, organized an expedition to Lab
rador to study the vegetable and animal
growths, and otherwise to gain a scien
tific knowledge of the country. -
It was also planned, incidentally, to
ascend the Grand river to the great cata
ract. The Grand river flows 'from the
high plateau of northern Labrador, and
the falls by which it reaches the lower
level to flow into the Atlantic ocean are
among the grandest on the continent. . '
'The Bowdoin college expedition was
fitted out at the expense of alumni and
friends of the college. ... . .
The Grand river was ascended, the
great cataract viewed and photographed
and its height ascertained. The students
who succeeded in pushing as far np as
the falls suffered many privations, but
won deserved honor in the successful
prosecution of their enterprise.
Their achievement is .a good example
for other American colleges and students.
Much important information remains to
be gathered about the less kno por
tions of our continent, and geological,
botanical and zoological researches, faith
fully carried on, may always be made
scientifically profitable and valuable,
even upon ground which has been cov
ered before. Youth's Companion.

Mr. J. P. Blaize, an extensive real
estate dealer in Dea Moines, Iowa, nar
rowly escaped one of the severest at
tacks of pneumonia while in the north
ern part of that state during a recent
buzzard, says tne isaturaay nevtew. Air.
Blaize had occasion to drive - several
miles during the storm and was so thor
oughly chilled that he was .unable to
get warm, and inside of an hour after
is, return he was threatened with a
severe case of pneumonia or lung fever.
Mr. Blaize sent to the nearest drug store
and got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, of which he had often heard,
and took a number of large doses. He
says the effect was wonderful and that
in a short time he was breathing quite
easily. He kept on taking the medicine
ana the next day was able to come to
Des Moines. Mr. Blaize regards bis
cure as simply wonderful. - 50 'cent
