H Great Pipe,
Stcol is tho material to be used by
the Onturio Power company In tho
construction of its proposed big iluino
on tho Canadian side at Niagara Fails.
This iluino will bo one ot tho largest
fiteol plpuB in tho world. It will have
a diamotor ot 18 loot and will bo 5,bsu
ftet long. Tho steel plates iroin
which it will be made have a thlcu
ness 01 halt an inch and in putting
them together over 2U0 tons ot rivets
will be used. Its diameter is so largo
that it Would be impobsible to put li
together at any machine shop and -ship
it to Niagara, and so a temporary
plant for building it will be erected on
tho Canadian sido at Niagara.
This temporary plant will consist of
a power house, a machine shop, boiler
shop, ofllco and boarding house. To
carry tho parts from tho shops to the
points where they will enter into the
largo flume or ripe a temporary rail
road will bo built along the route of
tho flumo to handle tho steel. It 1b
such a mammoth contract that to
build tho flumo will tako from 10 to
16 months.
It was Intimated some little time
ago that 'tho Ontario Power company
would use California redwood in the
construction of this flumo. It was also
intimated that other woods would
havo favor, and tho fact la a carerm
search was made and a thorough inves
tigation made of other notable flumes
carrying water In tho country. These
flumes aro notso numerous in the east
as they aro In tho west, but after all
iho research steol has been adopted as
tho material to be used. Advocates of
wood claimed that a steel flumo would
rust and rot out quicker than a flume
of wdod. but tho fact was evident that
should the flume be built of wood
steel hoops would have to be used to
malfo it firm, and these stoorl just as
much chance of going to pieces as the
nil-steel flumo.
Tho flume will extend from the fore
bay of the Ontario Power company
along the baso of a bluff at tho rear of
Victoria Park to a point just below
Table Rock, tho famous view point,
r.nd there its waters will ho diverted
through penstocks to turhlnes to ho
installed in a power house at tho wa
ter's edge. Tho flume, from an engi
neering standpoint, will he well worth
watching during construction, for no
doubt it will hnvo important features.

The Vigilant Turkish Censor,
The Now York Outlook tells an
pmiiHini storv illustrative of the vigil
ance of tho Turkish censorship. There
is a strict supervision over telegrams.
A German engineer in tho Lebanon
placed an order with a Paris firm for
some sort of a stationary engine, to
be shipped to him as soon as possible
Ihe firm telegraphed to inquire how
many revolutions a minute be wanted.
He answered, "Five hundred revolu
tions r. minute." Tho next day ho was
arrested. Brought into oourt, the
judge asked him if he lived in the
Lebanon. Ho replied that ho did.
"Do you correspond ..with such a firm
in Paris?" "Yes." "Ah!" cried the
judge: "I kno-v you. You aro the man
who telegraphed to Paris that there
aro 500 revolutions a minute in tho
Lebanon!" Kansas City Journal. -
The Chief Conspiritor.
It is insolence to continually flaunt
the name of Cleveland in tho faces of
ifie democrats. Cleveland, who did
more than any other one man to do
feat Bryan in two campaigns, an un
reconstructed bolter, tho chief con
spirator and traitor, has less claims
on tho democrats than any other man.
Already honored far beyond his merit,
ho had it in his power to turn defeat
into glorious victory, but refused. The
democrats will not accept him. They
will not stoop to tha baseness of such
. cowardly surrender, Nashville
