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.

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.
