Nature's Mechanical Power.

Few but remember the pictures of
Arohimcdes‘ screw in the old textbooks.
The ancient philosopher made a hollow
‘ spiral screw and placed it against the
current of the Nile, with its sloping
mouth in the water. The current of the
river drove the water into the tube
higher and higher until at length it
reached the topand was poured into a
canal that conveyed it inland and made
it irrigate the crops. That was one of
the first recorded instances of the utiliza-
tion of nature's mcchanical forces. It
may turn out yet that Archimedes had
. thesoed of an idea winch will develop

more mechanical form than all our in.

vectors have been able to do in mod-
ern times. It is true we have steam
and electricity, but at a waste of 90 per
cent of the powur furnished. Mechanic-
al genius will probably have to go back
to something like the ancient Archime-
dian screw“ to get pOWer enough to run
all the machinery of the world
ventors are taming seriously to the
, problem of getting mechanical power
from the‘ currents of tides and rivers,
turning that into electricity, conveying
the current to wherever it is wanted, and
thus doing away at one stroke with coal
and steam. Already the beginning has
been made at Niagara, whore turbine
wheels turned by the great fall receive
the power and transfer it todynamos.
0n the success of this undertaking per-
haps depends the revolution of our pres-
ent modes of obtaining mechanical
power.
Engineers say there is nothing me-
chanically impossible in the matter of
. tapping the currents of rivers and the
ocean tides and getting from them pow-
er enough to do everything at present
accomplished by steam, coal and gas.

The transformation that would take

plwe in the modern city can hardly ho

painted by the wildest imagination.
-. The only thing in the way of working
this miracle of science is at present the
wth capital. It would require por~
Imps $100,000,000 to establish a plant
large enough to got the pouror from the
current which pours through Hell Gate
between New York city and Brooklyn.
The hoi-sepowor thus to be obtained is
dealing when reduced to figures.
Transformed into electricity, it would
light and heat every building in the two
cities, run all the surface and elevated
cars and all tho factories besides.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

A Poultry Revolution.

Few chicken raisers are aware of the
great change in the poultry business
that has boon wrought in the past five
years. The dressed bcnf industry was
the cause of it. From slaughtering cui-
tle and shipping sides of meal in refrig-
erator cars grew the plan also of killing
and dressing chickensg goose, turkeys
and ducks and shipping them by tho
cerload to the people who eat them. It
is another sign of the tendency to con.
solidate industry into great cooperative
centers at the close of the nineteenth
century.

A beef packing company have at Kun-
sas City a plant for tho, slaughtering
and dressing of poultry by wholesale on
Martino principles. The birds are ship-
ped, uniform in appearance, carefully
dressed and packed, to all parts of the
China. Boston, We learn, is most par-
-tlcalar about her fowls. They must be

Abolish the Mosquito. ’ ,
At .Willott’s Point on the western sl-
kemity of Long Island the evening pa.-
rade of the United States soldiers had
to be given up on account of the attacks
)of armies of mosquitoes. The soldiers
could not observe strict discipline be-
cause they had to constantly slap at the
blood sucking insects. ‘

The mosquito pest along the Atlantic
coast appears to grow worse instead of
better. Some of the most beautiful and
costly villas in. New Jersey have had
to be abandoned because of it. lWhen
last summer some fine thoroughbred
horses Were imported from England,
the mosquitoes seriously aaected their
health at first. The little matches will
sting a canary bird to death in one
night. It is necessary in all cases
to put screens at the windows of stu-
bles where horses are kept. Year by
year the population of summer pleasure
seekers at the seaside resorts along the
shore of New Jersey and Long Island
grows larger. It comes from all parts
of the United States. Year by year the
mosquito population seems to growjhig-
gar and ficrcor to match.

where it was almost unknown 10 years
”0 1

It is plain that something must be
done, or portions of our eastern coast
will be uninhabitable by all save a few
tough skinned individuals who could
hardly feel the prod of a carving fork.
The mosquitoes breed in the vegetation
of the salt marshes. If those marshes
could be drained and turned into high
and dry land, the nuisance would be
abated. But that cannot be done suc~
cessfully in less than half a century, if
then.

Meantime the mosquitoes are eating
everybody up. What shall be done? It
is a question to be answered by our ag-
ricultural experiment stations and our
government entomological department.
The cntomologists have rid a country of
the potato bug, the grape pest and the
white scale insect. If they take serious-
ly in hand the matter of relieving the
land of the mosquito pest, undoubtedly
they will be successful. No matter how
strong or numerous an insect is, it has
Its enemies that prey upon it. That is
nature's way of keeping it from dev-
astating the earth. There is a well
known mosquito cater. It is the dragon
fly. Will not the ontomologists find out
how to cultivate the dragon fly or some
other ii:- thnt kills the mosquito and lot
it loose by the billion among the salt
marshes of the Atlnntm roast?

Sir Godfrey Knellsr's Dream.

I dreamed I was dead, sold thepainter
Before 1110 i saw a door and a great num‘
ber of people about it. As I drew nearer
I could distinguish St. Peter by his keys,
with some other of the apostles. They

opposite the other.

My turn came next, and as I approach
ed :s‘t. Peter very civilly asked me my
name. I said it was Knollor. I had no
sooner said so than b’t. Luke, who was
standing just by, turned toward me and
said, with a great deal of earnestness,
“What, the fax-nous rilr Godfrey Kneller of

into the subject that he scomcd almost to

dan. In the midst of cloud, storm and
darkness the infant republic was born
and cradled upon their waves of war.

Storms have rocked it ever si111.o,yvt l'
now the beautiful republic has lasted to
within one year of a quarter of a contu-
ry. The anarchists that hovered like
evil birds over its childhood could not
kill it. Boulangcr tried to ride ovcr'.
French liberty as the picturesque man
on horseback and dictator, and he met
a miserable death by self murder. The
Panama canal scandal could not shake
the republic. its greatest, best bclovcd
president was assassinated, and Franco
still mourns, but the glorious republic
lives on. It is not yet as free as ours,
but the cause of civil sud religious lib-
erty has been marching forward with
steady stop for ’20 years. The French
are notably freer now than they were
in 1874.

One of the brightest promises for the
perpetuity of free France is the indica-
tion that after all these years the bitter
hatred botwucn Franco and Germany
may be extinguished. For the future of
our sister in Europe there is bright hope.
This September we send our best hopes
for her welfare across the son to her

The Conservative papers of (lrnnt
Britain belittle as a pitiablo affair the
demonstration in Hyde park, London,
of the National League For the Aboli-
tion of the House of Lords. They say
there were “only” 10, 000 persons pros-
‘cnt, and that they looked very small and
Week scattered as they were among the
12 speakers' platforms. But the Con»
ser'rutivc papers that make light of this
demonstration forget it is a tremen-
dous thing that there should be such
a meeting and such a league at all.
When one thinks buck and recalls what
would have been the status in old feudal
days of the very people who now com-
pose thnt league, the distance the com-
mon maple have travalod in Great Brit-
1..11 will be appreciated. From the
swinehcrd over whom his lord possessed
power even of life and death the un-
titled citlzon of England hm reached
the point where he dares toprotest pub-
licly against the right of the hereditary
lord to make the laws governing him.
In no reign previous to Victoria’s would
such a gathering have been possible. It
would have been almost high treason to
Insumst such a thing. As to the noble
lords, for them this movement is the
handwriting upon the well. The twen-
fitth ecstasy will donbtlsu 1008.an
