SnU Townnlltlllio the Mountain Stream
for Manufacturing Purpose.
lteldes n considerable number of
large water-power installations, Swlt.
erland is full of small power plant,
nearly cery town in that land of moun
tains' and waterfalls being ell sup
plied willi (xnver from the "white coal,"
a.s the melting snow on the mountain
sides has well been willed. When there
are tu large streams, iy.s Cassler's
Magaiue. nmny small ones are ini
pounded and collected in reservoirs on
the hillsides, and it is rate to tlnd n
place of any si7e which is not well light
id by the power of some mountain
stream.
At Montreiix the electric tramway
gels its power in this wa. and from
the old lionian town of ee. to the
niedlewil castle of Chlllon one may ride
in a trolley ear propelled by the power
of an insignificant little .stream which
nun or may not be noticed when climb
ing up the hillside just above.
The capabilities of this general utili
zation of natural power are beginning
to be understood everywhere, nnd with
the appreciation of the o.-sibilities of
t he bos t me t hod s ii f 1 ou g-d i s t a nee t ra ns
mission, the development of many
mountain streams must surely come.
There are innumerable streams which,
while very small, are yet ery high, and
those can with comparatively little dif
ficulty be impounded and carried down
many' hundreds of feet. thu making up
for their Inch of volume by the gieat
pressure readily obtainable, and, either
by the use of electricity or compressed
air. the power may be transmitted to
many points of application with but
little loss.
NO USE FOR LEATHER APRONS.
Sxmanthn -Mann Decline to Tr.di .Icily
t'ak- for Cold llucknrhciits.
When the children used to go to Pos
sum Walk sehoolliouse the dinner hour
was a time when they gathered together
and compared the contents of tlieirdin
ner baskets and traded with each other.
Two doughnuts for a piece of pie, one
cookie for n red apple, etc. Some of
the scholars were children of the poorer
class of tenant farmers and their bas
kets were not filled with anything like
so appetizing an outfit as the baskets
of the others. Mary .lane Spurling. for
instance, used to come to school with
buckwhea cakes for dinner. They were
of the large kind, about 10 inches round
nnd a quarter of an inch thick. They
had leen buttered thinly while hot. but
the butter would melt quickly and the
cakes would be as cold as tombstones
by the noon hour.
Still, they were the best that Mary
Jane had, and as the spirit of barter
lwat in her humble breast she essayed
to exchange a couple of these pieces dc
resistance to Samantha Mann for a
slice of jelly cake. Samantha turned
up her snub nose a trifle higherand said
in a scornful tone:
"Oh. yes; now, Mary Jane Spurlin'.
you don't git me to trade any o' my nice
jelly cake fur one o' your ole hither
aprons."
And Mary Jane Spurling never smiled
again.
ABSURD THEORIES.
The Ancients' Kxplmiation of the ItUInc
and Setting of the Sun.
The recent death of a mini who had
maintained all his-life that the earth
wa.s Hat recalls the curious theories
entertained by the ancients to explain
the rising and .setting of the sun, says
the New York Journal. They thought
the enrth wa.s flat and were greatly puz
zled to know how the same sun which
plunged into the ocean at a fabulous
distance in the west could reitppcar the
next morning at an equally great dis
tance in the east.
A number of remarkable theories
were advanced and every one of them
wrong. The old mythology asserted
that after the sun had dipped in the
western ocean at sunset (the Iberians
mid other ancient nations actually im
agined that they could hear the hissing
of the waters when the glowing globe
wan plunged therein) he was seized by
Vulcan and placed in a, golden goblet.
This strange craft, with its astonish
ing cargo navigated the ocean by a
northerly course, so as to reach the east
again in time for sunrise the following
morning.
Among the more sober physicists of
old, as related by Aristotle, it was be
lieved that in some manner the sun wan
conveyed by night across the northern
regions and that darkness was due to
lofty mountains, which screened off
the sunbeams during the voyage.
A Compliment to nil Iloit.
The German emperor is a master of
little surprises quite other than those
which occasionally fetch his troops out
of bed in tho middle of the night when
they least expect it. While at Low
ther castle, England, he took the op
portunity afforded by the absence of
Lord Lousdale to unpack a very fine
marble bust of himself and put it in u
position screened by tho leaves of a
large palm. The sudden unveiling and
presentation was quite dramatic in its
character and It need hardly bo said
that Lord Lonsdale wa.s highly de
lighted with the carefully pluuned
compliment.

STRANGE STORY OF CRIME.
Trustworthy 8rTiMit Turn Miinlewr
llimtmnd to tln llM-m.
One. of the most remarkable stories
of thwarted crime comes from India.
A lady with her two children, who were
both young, was going In her own ekkn
trom'ltaninngar to a place In the center
of the Har tract.
The drier vuis mi old servant of the
family ami was thought to bo trust
worthy. For this reason the lady did
not think it necessary to leave her jew
elrv behind her. At a lonely part of
the road the trustworthy sonant
stopped and ordered his mistress to
pass her gewgaws along. She did so,
not unnaturally, nnd then the man pro
ceeded to biiid'hor, preparatory to kill
ing her.
At her request he agreed to kill the
infants after he had dispatched their
mother. He lifted the n to strike the
Mow, but the head Hew off and disap
peared in the brushwood some yards
away. Ity this time the lady was un
i ouscious.
When she came to she found her hus
band leaning oxer her and undoing her
fastenings. lie explained that he had
felt a dread as of some impending ca
lamity, and mi had followed her. In
the thicket the trustworthy servant
was found dead, his body already blue,
putrid and bloated. He hod boon stung
by a Khagi snake, whose bite paralyzes
the victim on the instant and decom
poses him in an hour.
Pasteur CnreftiliieM.
Once when Pasteur was dining with
his daughter and her family at her
home in llurgundy he took care to dip
in a glass of water the cherries that
were served for dessert and then to
wipe them carefully with his napkin
before putting them in his mouth. His
fastidiousness amused the people at
table, but the scientist rebuked them
for their levity and discoursed at length
on the dangers in microbes ami ani
tiiaculae. A few minutes later, in a fit
of abstraction, he suddenly seized the
glass in which he had washed the cher
ries and drank the water, microbes and
all, at a single draught.
The (iorninn Cinnry Tr.nle.
'it is not at all generally known that
Germany carries on a very large trade
in the rearing and exporting 'of cana
ries, and that the largest establishment
in the world for the breeding of these
creatures is situated within the do
mains of that empire, away up among
the Ilnrt:'. mountains of Prussia. From
this and the fewsurroundingbutsmall
cr nurseries, no fewer than 1.10,000 birds
are dispatched every year to the United
States and Canada, while in the same
time at least 3,000 g to Britain nnd
about 3,000 go to Russia.
