Power
The other day street lamps in Boston were
lighted by electrip oprrent from Chicago. I t was
the first tim e power hgd ever been transm itted «pch
a distance. It waa bo trivial experiment, either.
The whole portbe«stem com er o f the country wm
connected in the temporary hook-pp, and more than
a dozen big light and power oompanies in New
England were operating w ith Chicago power,
That was merely an experiment, hut a signifi
cant one. It showed clearly the possibilities of inter-
connected power Upes. It is not yet oommereiaUy
practical to send power regularly for 1,000 miles
as was done in thia ease, but equipment is not yet
far enough advanced to handle the requisite 500,000
volts. But that w ill come in time,
Electrical officials expect eventually to make
the experimental line from Chicago to Boston part
of a “ bus lin e” operating from coast to qoast and
gathering and distributing current for light, power
and beat to a b p a d belt o f communities all the way.
The electrical age is beginning in earnest.
The Stylish Horse
The automobile hap driveq the hors« off the
highways and by-way«, almost off the farms where
he used to be indispensable. B ut to date no automo
bile show receives the headlines that the New York
horse show still reopiYe«.

some way with the horse show.
Furthermore, there were horses and rider» t|ier«,
the best that this country can present along w ith
the finest from Canada, Poland, France and Bel

The horse may be a b»ck number in many re
spects, hut he is still necessary to the correct o w n

year, apparently, automobile» and grand opera and

Winter Trees
A Thanksgiving dinner group were g ivin g their
individual reasons for thankfulness.. The reaeons
ranged from those serious enough to m oisten the
eyes to those frivolous enough to bring laughter.
One woman hesitated, looking out the window at
a'northern November landscape, and fin ally said:
“ I think perhaps I am m ost thankful for bare
trees. ”

It seemed so curious a cause to the rest th at she
explained further,
• Green leaves were lovely, she said, but they
were like beautiful clothes, or-splendid houses. They
did pot exactly hide the tree; they were part of it.
But when they were gone, the essential structure of
the tree showed forth in all its exquisite reality.
The Uns, upstanding true o f splendid all-round
growth was seep for w hat it ig; so, too, the tw isted
one. Nor do even the tw isted ones lack -their own
weird beauty. N ever appeared the trunks so sturdy,
the tw igs so delicate as when they etched their tw igs
against a winter dry. W inter skies also are heavier
in color.
Summer hah none o f those rich, dull,
deep sm oky blues, the copper gold and flarpe against
which the black traceries are made.

So much for sheep beauty o f .form and color.
There is more in bare trees than this. Sentim ental
ists lam ent the “ d y in g ” o f the year—they speak
of the bare trees as “ dead” and doleful. B ut look
at bare tw igs closely. There is no death. One can
hardly say there is sleep. TJn* trees grow more
slow ly in some way% that is all. S ee the color at
