In a brief review of the development of
electrical Industries Inst year Electricity
calls attention to the marked Increase in
foreign trade. That the export business has
grown mibatantlnlly In shown by tho fact
that "tho electrical Roods shipped from the
port of New York olono to Great Urltaln
tor tho week ending December 10, 1900,
amounted to $59,133, as against $9,325 to the
aamo country for tho week ending December
S3, 1S99. Further, tho total amount of elec
trical goods shipped from that port to all
parts of the world for tho week ending lie
ceniber 10, 1900, amounted In round numbers
to $200,000 as compnred with $100,000 for
tho week ending December 23, 1&99.
"During 1899 there were comparatively
few electrical goods shipped from this coun
try to Cuba and tho Philippines, whereas
during J900 scarcely a week Imb passed that
rmernl thousand dollars' worth has not
gono out to these Islands.
"In fact such a creditable record has befii
Jnndo In tho export business by tho electri
cal" Industry during tho first ten months of
3900 tho exports of electrical machinery
during that period reaching a total vnluatlon
of $4,555,015 as ngalnst a value of $2,154,610
for tho same period of 1899, whllo those of
Instruments and apparatus for scientific
purposes, Including telegraph, telephone
nnd other electric devices, amounted In
value to $3,401,305 during the ten months of
1900, as compared with n vnluo of $1,042,994
for the samo period of tho preceding year--that
no opportunity should bo allowed to
pnsB whlqh promises enlargement or widen
ing of that business. These figures nro In
teresting and Instructive as showing how
rapidly our electrical export trado Is grow

enormous trade, ns shown above, Is no fair
indication of what Is to come."

Ono of tho thoroughly Interesting side
trips to be enjoyed In connection with a
visit to tho Pan-American exposition will
bo I ho trip to Niagara Falls to view tho
wonderful Installation In tho big power
liouso of tho NUgara Kails Tower company.
It Is this station that will supply tho elec
tric energy to bo used on tho exposition
grouuds, and nn Inspection of It will bring
tho visitor In touch with the most ranrvel
nu electrical power development of the
present tlmo,
Tho power houso propor Is o beautiful
ntono building nearly 500 feet long. Tho
front section Is occupied by tho company's
offices, and to tho rear stretches tho one
utory section known ns tho dynamo room,
llencath this room there Is a great slot,
over 400 feot long and 179 feet dcp, cut ont
of solid rock. It Is this slot, or wheel-pit,
that forms tho homo of tho ten powerful
turbines that glvo power to the dynamos or
generators In tho station. Theso turbines
nro each of C.000 horse power capacity, and
they aro connected to tho dynamos by a
tubo shaft which extends up tho whrcl-plt.
Tho construction Is such that tho .weight
of the shaft and tho revolving parts of the
dynamos practically float upon tho water
that passes through tho turbine. The
weight of theso parts Is many thousand
pounds, all adjusted with such nicety that
thorn Is but tho least posslblo friction.
Tho water that supplies tho turbines Is
taken from on Inlet cnnnl connected with
tho upper Niagara river. This canal Is
3,450 root long, 100 feet wide at tho tall end
nnd 180 feot wldo at tho entrance. Its nor
mal depth of water Is 12 feet. Passing from
this Inlet canal, tho water goes Into pen
stocks' and Is carrlod down tho wheel-pit
upon tho turbines, tho head being about 130
feet. After passing through tho turbines
nnd developing power tho water Hows Into
tho big tunnel tnll-raco. This tunnel Is
fi,890 feet long, it reaches from tho power
liouso to tho lower Nlagnra river, whore
tho stream of water that Hows from It may
bo seen intersecting tho river under the
upper steel arch brldgo Just below Prospect
park. Tho tunnel passes right under tho
main part of tho city of Niagara Falls at a
depth of about 200 feet. In dimensions tho
tunnel Is 18 feet 10 Inches wldo and 21 feet
nnd i Inch high, its form Is that of a
horseshoe and from end to end It Is lined
with four courses of vitrified brick in order
to assurn permanency.
It Is this station that will bo tho great
power houso of tho I'anamorlcan exposition.
It Is a magnificent spectacle to stand on
tho visitors' gallery In thin power houso
nnd look upon tho whirling dynumo3 as
thoy mako 250 revolutions every minute.
Tho nverage person finds It dlfllcult to

Of catarrh romcdleB, there Is no end, but
of catarrh cures, there has always been a
ureat scarcity. Thero nro mauy remedied
to rellove. but very few that really cure,
Tho old practico of snuffing salt water
through the noso would qften relievo and
tho washes, douches, powders and Inhalers
in common use aro very little, If any. better
than tho old fashioned salt water douche.
Tho uao of Inhalers and tho application of
salves, washes ond powders to tho nose nnd
throat to cure cutarrh 1b no more reasonable
than to rub tho back to cure kidney dis
ease. Catarrh Is Just as much a blood dls
ease as kidney troublo or rheumatism and
it can not bo cured by local treatment any
more than thoy ran be.
To cure catarrh, whether In tho head,
throat or stomach an Internal nntiseptlo
treatment Is necessary to drtvo the catarr
hal poison out of tho blood and ayHtcm, and
tho now catarrh euro Is designed on this
plan and tho remarkablo success of Stuart's
Catnrrh Tublets is because being UBcd In

through nctton upon stomach, liver and
bowols.
Win. Zimmerman of St. Joseph, relates
nu exporlonco with catarrh which Is of value
to millions of catarrh sufferers everywhere.
He says, "I neglected a slight nasal cntnrrli
until It gradually extended to my throat
and bronchial tubes and finally oven my
stomach and liver becamo affected, but as I
was able to keep up nnd do n day's work 1
let It run along until my henrlng began to
fnll mo and then I realized that I must get
rid of catarrh or loso my position as I was
a clerk and my hearing was absolutely
necessary.
"Samo of my friends recommended an
inhaler, another u catarrh salvo but they
wore no good In my ease, nor was anything
else until I heard of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets and bought a packago at my drug store.
They benefitted mo from tho start and In
less than four months I was completely
cured of cntarrh although I had suffered
nearly ull my life from It. N
"They are pleasant to tako and so much

In favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tabids."

With electric lighting, tho overheating of
Ignltablo material Is the one danger to be
apprehended. Such heating may result
from various cuusc3. The amount of heat
generated by the transmission of electrical
energy depends, In general terras, upon the
resistance encountered In the conducting
medium, tho quantity of current flowing nnd
the rapidity of heat radiation, says a writer
In CassIcr'B Magazine. For this reason a
poorly constructed Joint In wlro lnid in
wooden molding tuny, by Interposing a high
resistance, develop a local heat sufficient to
char tho woodwork, which eventually bursts
Intb flame; or, n circuit designed for tho
BUpply of sixteen candle-power Inmps, may
bo called upon to carry the samo number
of Inmps of thirty-two candle-power, thus
doubling tho flow of current and causing nn
Increased heating effect throughout tho en
tiro length of wlro; or n wire, designed for
carrying u certain current when strung on
Insulators nnd exposed to tho nrr, may bo
placed In wooden molding, at the whim of
tho tennnt, who cannot understand why n
larger wire Is required for tho latter
method becaupo ho does not stop to con
sider tho decrease In tho rnte of hent radi
ation which results ftom tho change. So,
also, tho presence of weak or dofcctlvo In
sulation may causo a series of Infinitesimal
leaks from wlro to wire, which, added to
gether, assume finite proportions and may
result In adding to a circuit n burden en
tirely Ignored In calculations of wlro sizes.
To guard ngainst the ovorhcatlng tho In
sertion of n "fuse" In tho lino Is usually re
Bortcd to. This 1b a strip of metal of such
material nnd cross-section as to insure Its
melting ond thus opening tho circuit upon
the parsago of n current sufficient to barely
overheat tho wire. Tho fuse, however, Is
no protection against tho heat developed at
bad Joints or at points where leakage from
ono wlro to nuothcr (or to some other con
ducting medlflm) Is localized. It prevents
an excessive How merely, not a How along
unauthorized paths or over Improper ob
structions. And yet heavy copper or Iron
wlro Is not infrequently used to replace
these fuses, thus defeating tho object of tho
device; and, Indeed, cases aro on record
whero the brass-capped fuso plugs were
filled solid with lead, In order, us tho engi
neer expressed It, "to do away with tho
only weak part of tho Hystem."
When n fuso "blows" It lnvurlably scat
ters molten metal, which may communicnto
n dangerous degree of heat to tho material
upon which It falls, and yet very many peo
ple fall to understand why tho Inspector
requires that tho fusing npplianco Bhall be
Inclosed In a non-combustlblo case.
Tho only protection against poor Joints
lies In tho prevention of them. The best
protection against local leakage consists In
the adoption of n good Insulating covering
for tho wires and of such a method of con
struction as would permit of tho operation
of the circuits without leakagolf tho wires
were entirely uncovered, In which caso tho
Insulation becomes nn efficient factor of
safety.

At tho recent International railway con
gress in Paris, reports the Boston Trans
cript, two Interesting reports wero isub
mittcd on train lighting, embodying a
res u mo of tho various methods ot lighting
railway carriages which havo obtained on
tho continent and In tho United Kingdom
from tho early days of tho railways to the
latest Improvement and tho perfection ot
tho present methods. Ono of theso reiKirrs,
mado by M. Chaperon, chief of a division on
tho Pnrls, Lyons & Mediterranean railway,
nnd M. ilerard, assistant chief of transpor
tation of the Orleans railway, embraced all
tho continental countries oxcopt' Austria
Hungary, lloumanta, Tho Netherlands, Lux
embourg nnd Clermany.l Tho principal In
terest in tho report nttuches naturally to
gas and electric lighting, tho two great nys
tcms which aro now competing for public
favor. "With oil lighting tho expenso of
Installation Is comparatively low, but It re
quires a numerous staff for cleaning, filling
nnd maintaining the lamps. It Is requisite
that this work should bo carefully done, as
tho quality of the light and tho economy of
tho system depend absolutely on tho manner
In which It Is done. Finally, tho quality of
oil, wlckB, etc., havo first importance. All
theso necessary conditions rcqulro that good
oil or petroleum lighting should bring tho
cost per lamp hour to quite a high figure.
In gas lighting tho cost of installation for
tho manufacture and supply of the gaB Is
quite, considerable. Tho expenso
for labor Is reduced to tho minimum, tho
service of tho staff bolng limited to wlp
iug tho cups nnd chimneys of tho lamps,
tho examination of tho burners and supply
ing tho reservoirs or tanks of the carriage
Tho advantages of tho system aro princi
pally In tho quality of tho light, tho fa
cility of modifying the intensity as
well as tho simplicity of tho labor In mnln
tonnnco and cleaning, and In tho celerity of
filling tho supply tanks. Tho lighting power
of the gas may bo still improved by mixing
it with highly curburcttcd pro'ducts. Sev
eral of theso have been mado use of; among
others, nophthnllne (albo-curbon), which
has not given very good results. Acetylene
mixed with gas In, tho proportion of 25 to 35
per cent gives tho flamo a very considerable
Intensity nnd fixity." Coming, at onco to
tho question of lighting by electricity, tho
report says: "Electric lighting Is, without
contradiction, thnt which Is presented un
der tho most attrnctlvo form. Incandes
cent electric lamps havo In fact nn Incon
testable superiority over all tho other
methods of lighting, as much from the point
of view of comfort as that of facility of In
stallation of luminous centers, which may
bo aB Intense, as desired and which can be
placed at tho most convenient points for
the passengers, They produce no, or next
to no, heat, and there Is no occasion to pro
vldo for tho products of combustion being
carried outside. Tho electric lighting of
tho carriages produced by means of n dy
namo driven by the nxle during the run of
the train realizes In principle a complete
and rational system of lighting." This re
port concludes with n query for discussion
,aa to whether tho equipment provided to
assure constancy of tension will be likely
to deteriorate in service, Bnd whether Its
maintenance will be expensive. Also,
whether regular Inspections ot the ports
will tend to causo too great a degree of
immobility ot the rolling stock,

The approaching assembly of tho League
of American Wheelmen excites consldern
bio Interest among tho stnndbys of tho or

confident ot capturing tho presidency, which
Conwny W. Saras puts off. Thero Is said
to be such rivalry between tho lcadjng
eastern candidates that II. S. Karlc of De

out.
What action will be taken In regard to the
revision ot the constitution of the leaguo
remains to be seen. This Is a matter of
prime lniportnnco nnd must bo handled
with gloves. A committee boa already held
a meeting for this purpose. According to
meager accounts obtainable, the meeting
wus a lively one. A minority1 report was
made, but never published. Neither was
tho draft of the revised constitution which
tho majority favored. Each stdo la appar
ently holding back Its report so that the
opposition cannot gain nn advnntagc by
being forewarned ot Its character before
the day cf tho assembly. National Secretary
Ilai.sctt, with tho Massachusetts state divi
sion back of him, Is In possession of tho
approved revision, and John II. Uhlo of the
New York stato division has the minority
report. Tho latter will publish tho minority
report Just as soon as Ilassett sends htm a
copy of tho constitution as revised by tho
national secretary.
There aro many who bcllevo that tho
Leaguo of American Wheelmen will never
survive the assembly, although in tho last
month tho nffalrs ot tho organization hnvc
taken on a brighter hue. The membership,
however, is an indefinable quantity because
tho secretary has wisely stopped publishing
membership figures. It Is not so long. ago
thnt tho league had over 100,000 members;
today It Is fortunate If It has nue-qunrter
thnt number. Thtce It Is losing steadily.
Tho organization has n salaried secretary,

of conversation wns the prominence given

In nttendanco at tho ,show there was a
strong sentiment In favor ot holding tho

to Atlantic City and In the sixty days com
pleted 10,491 miles, ot which 8,900 were
centuries ridden under tho Century Itoad

nearly every ono rides tho year around.
Tho cycling Influcnco Is so strong that It
prevented a railroad corporation from lay
ing trncks in a street that was n popular

obtained tho opinion that tho Interest In
cycling Is now stronger In tho west than
in tho east.
Flying starts for motor-paced blcyclo
races will bo Introduced this coming season
to prevent (hat struln which Invariably

fairer to the first-class men. On tho Blnglo
motor tho pacemaker Is farther away from
tho pace-follower and that sort of pacing
Is considered to glvo tho first-class pace
followers a better showing for tholr money.
Recommendations of this character will be
mado to tho board of control when It meets
next month, In addition to thoso recom
mendations regarding the width of tho body
of tho motor, suggested as nlno Inches, the
extreme width of the handlo bars twenty
two Inches, and a provision that both

A marked example of tho fickleness ot
public tasto and fancy Is afforded by tho
falling off of the homo demand for bicycles,
dosplto their groat reduction In prlco. That
thero remain other markets to bo exploited
by tho American wheel, however, Is shown
In a plcturcsquo report from Consul Gen

brought to Bangkok by Dr. P. T. Carrington,
an American dentist, In 1896. Previous to

Will Townscnd Is getting ready to spring
n Bttrprlso on sorno of tho eastern shots, and,
If ho gets his former handicap of twenty
seven yards, ho will, In tho opinion of his
friends, como In for some of tho big money.
Mr. Townsend Is practicing on a new load,
tho proportions of which aro kept secret at
present and may not bo revealed until after
tho New York meeting. To persons In
terested ho displayed a target Friday which
shows that If he has not perfected his load
ho Is not far from It. A thirty-Inch target,
placed thirty yards from Uie gun, showed
tho marks of 446 No. 8 shot, nnd within tho

n contest will bo held at St. Edward, the
main event on each day being a fifteen

Dovotccs of tho gun and rod In Nebraska
nro at present wntchlng tho legislature nnd
houses which havo in former years dono
a heavy business in tho way of supplying
guns and ammunition to tho men who hunt
tho fields nnd waters of tho state hnvo
practically suspended their usual February
business until the fate of the bill relating to
tho preservation of game In tho state Is
settled. Ono Omaha house reports orders
for Bovcral thousand loaded shells, which
havo been placed on file until It Is de
termined that there will bo spring shooting.
Tho sportsmen themselves nro somewhat
divided on tho Btibjcct of spring shooting.
All of them agree that If tho practico can
bo suppressed In nil of tho states through
which tho birds pass this stato should enact
n law making spring shooting n mis
demeanor. Tho mujorlty say that until tho
states will unlto on tho subject such a
law would work a hardship on Nebraska
Bportsmcn. Other persons equally Interested
say that this state should lead tho way and
thnt other states will follow. These hunters
say with a degreo of truth that many of the
birds which visit this Btato rnlso their
broods hero and that every femalo bird
killed In tho spring means a flock lost to the
fall hunters. Tho Omaha Gun club has gone
on record ns favoring spring shooting at
present and In all probability tho bill as
amended will become a law.
As originally drafted the ponding law pro
vldcd that It would be unlawful to catch
any sort of game or fish in tho waters of
tho stato except under the provisions of
the net. Another section provided an open
season for trout not less than eight Inches
long, but for no other fish. Under tho
common rules of construction the mention
ing of ono vn'rloty of fish excluded all others
and- had tho law been enacted without
amendment it would havo boen unlawful
to havo caught bass, catfish or. any other
variety save trout at any tlmo of tho year.
Another peculiar thing about this phase of
tho law was tho action of ono of tho mem
bers of tho Omaha Gun club, an enthusiastic
fisherman, who drafted an amendment to
tho law providing that it would be lawful
to catch any of tho fish mentioned In the
net between April 1 nnd Novcmbor 1. Tho
umendment wan endorsed by tho other
members of tho committee, but when tho
matter was discussed It developed' that tho
man who offered tho amendment did It In
order to stop the practico of Ice-flshtng
and had not noticed that tho bill aB It
stood beforo amendment suppressed fish
ing of all kinds except for trout.
Hero Is ono of tho dialogues In the com
mltteo of tho Omaha Gun club discussing
tho law in reference to the preservation
of game:
Henry Homan This part specifying tha
fish which Is to be caught In pounds Is
absurd. How is a man to tell when he
has caught all the law allows? Ho would
havo to carry a pair of scales.
Sandy Grlswold Oh, not bo bad as that, I
guess.
Homan Yes, ho would, for he will have
to stop when ho catches twenty pounds,
and how can ho tell when ho gets that
amount?
Grlswold Lot hlra use the scales that
como with the Ash.
Homan That's all right, but suppose he
is catching catfish?

ana wain Diinuiy into trie dangers of the operating table without giving Wine of Cardul a test The
health of a woman concerns herself and for ordinary female ills she can nest treat herself. Women are
coming to realize this and thousands of them are taking the Wine of Cardul home treatment. They are
curing themselves in the privacy of their own homes, without the humiliation of a physlctan'i private
examination. This pure Wine regulates the menstrual flow, restores the fallen womb to lb place, 'and'
stops the terrible drains of leucorrhcea. It is a safe remedy to put into the hands of any invalid and
in nine out of ten cases effects an immediate relief and a permanent cure. Do you not think
is the remedy you need for those grinding aches and bearing down pains
of pain and your nights sleepless? Ask your druggist for a $1.00 bottle.
