It Is proposed to create an electric tytejl Pw'r plant second only to Nla- gara oy narnesstng the rapids of the Mississippi and set Its forces to turn shafting In Keokuk and adjacent towns and develop 00,000 horse power In electrical cur en t. The proposition -oe to congress for ap proval before work can begin, as the plan falls for a dam across the river. The dam s to be twenty-two feet high and approxl- rirately a mile long It Is to be built at the foot of the Des Moines rapids, opposite the enter of the city of Keokuk and the city r Hamilton, III. These rapids have a fall of twenty-four feet In twelve miles, and formerly were an Impassable obstruction. For years a por (ege of twelve miles was made by mule drawn lighters, and twenty years ago the government spent W.wo.omv for a canal wltn three locks through which steamboats now puss. This canal runs along the Iowa shore. The head of water behind the dam will verflow territory shove and the basin will "over twenty-five square miles: but here the river runs through a gorire and the Muffs are close to the hinks. The cost of 'he riparian dimages from oversow will h. rttle In ratio to the cost of construction of tne dam Itsi-lf.

Oen Rlrotrlp Pnirer, Apart from the street railway and light ing companies In Ruffnlo. three groups of custom' are being served with power from Niagara Falls. One. numbering thlrtv-rtx. Includes manufacturer who formerly used steam, but deliberately abandoned their old power plants In order to secure the advantages of electricity. A econd class Includes thirteen compmlea or firms which were organised to start en tirely new enterprises. Finally, there were twenty-four consumers who moved from other places to Buffalo In order to Improve the opportunity which was offered to them there. Altogether, they now use upward of IR.WK) horsepower annually, and what Is the most significant fact of all la that none of them havs gons . back again to team. Economy la the chief though not the Bole consideration In preferlng electricity to team power. The charge for. current la a combination of a "flat" rata and a "me ter" rate. A patron whose, consumption fluctuates a good deal pays more than one who uses about the same qusntlty, but whose demand Is uniform. A man who oc casionally requires 100 horsepower, but does not average over 60. would be obliged to pay 138 a year per horsepower. An other, whose maximum requirements never rose above 60 horsepower, but who really used as much aa the first one In a month, would get off with 127 a year. There ar few places where steam power costa less than 135 or HO a year, and many manu facturers pay nearly double that amount for It. Twenty-aeven dollara la cartalnly bargain. New York Tribune, . . ... Mysteries of RVeefrtcftr. A generator Is a producer of electricity and a motor la a consumer of the seme, and It Is perhaps one of the most freak ish traits about the most freakish potential People Who Draw T IS estimated that there are fully a thousand person In this coun try who draw lrg r sal rles that th president of the United ? ate. This doe not Include the Ucorat of millionaires from Investments or the earnings of those in business for them selves, but only those persons who are working on regular stipulated salaries. Neither does the list Include the income of lawyers, although there are a number like Francis Lynde Stetson, for Instance who receive regular annual retainers of 60,. 000. Mr. Stetson receives a retainer of $50, 000 a year from J. P. Morgan d Co. simply for the privilege of calling on him first la any legal matters in which the firm may be Interested. This sum doe not, of course, represent anything Ilk th entire annual Income of Mr. Stetson. The Inoome of corporation lawyer varies a great deal from year to year. Th largest m S single fee ever paid a lawyer for oonduot- ng a single ease la believed to hare been r h c o received by William Nelson Cromwell for hi work la connection with the Panama canal. Ha 1 aald to have been paid a fee of $2,000,000 for hi work In that connection. James B. Dill I said to have received fee of $1,000,000 for settling the suit between Andrew Carnegie and IL C. Frick. W. D. Outhrie is also understood to have received ft fee of H, 000,000 for breaking the will of the late Henry Bradley Plant These are believed to be tbe largest single fee evec paid lawyer In this country. The largest salary paid any bank presl- dent In ,New York Is understood to be $60, 000. The president of several of the largt Wall street banks and trust companies art known to receive this salary. There la also one bank president In Chicago who receives a salary of $30,000 a year. Aa a rule, how ever, the president of th large Wall street banks are wealthy, and their salaries form only a small part of their annual Income. Men of sufficient ability .to gain the con trolling position In prominent Wall street bank are sought for as directors In trust companies and other financial Institutions, to say nothing of the number of reorgan isation committees on which they are asked to serve. James Stlllronn, the president of the National City bank, la a director In more than forty different corporations. All of these positions pay well and take up but Uttle time, being In most Instances of an advisory nature, and without onerous du ties. Ia thl way tbe. annual Income of the president of the prominent Wall street banks are largely Increased. The largest salary paid any railroad prest. dsnt In the United Slates is 176,000. There are at least three presidents wh are un derstood to draw this salary A. J. Cassatt of th Pennsylvania. James J. Hill of th Or Northers aod L. Y. Lore f th OTTI mm agent electricity that the generator and motor may be duplicate machines. Iden tical In every detail of construction, and oan be used for either purpoa?. An electric car can be stopped at any point on the road, raised clfar of the track, and Its wheels turned rapidly by any avail able method. Its motors then become gen erators and will throw a powerful electrlo current back Into the conducting wlrea In stead of absorbing it. Although the technicalities surrounding electrical Industries are spooling to the average man, the principle of producing the current and adapting Its energy to the various requirements of driving machinery and cars and of creating light Is simple. Take a small rod of soft Iron, wind around It a number of turns of fine InsuUted cop per wire and connect the end of the wire 10 the two plates of any electric battery, and you have a primitive electrlo plint The little rod of Iron becomes an electro magnet and attracts steel or Iron as a common horseshoe magnnt does. If a sec ond rod Is prei-ared In the same way and placed opposite the first the mutual at traction will be strong, but If the wlrea connecting to the battery he cha ged about the direction of the current la changed at1d the magnets repel Instead of attracting each other. Suspend them so that they can move freely and arrange to change the current regularly and at the proper times and these rods will alternately attract and re pel each other and there Is motion and power In an Infinitesimal degrc. Techni cally, It Is a power plant, consisting of a chemical generator connected to an alter nating current motor. lip to this point the greatest scientist knows no more about the causes of this motion than any man who Is able to read these lines. Why the chemical bath pro duces the electric current, what the cur rent Is and how It Instantly transforms the Iron Into a magnet are mysteries which not even a Farad ly. an Edison or a Thom son attempt to explain. For many years efforts were made to ob tain motion and power In the above man ner which would be of practical usa. Electro-magnets of large size we e arranged In groups, similarly to the spokes of a wheel, to revolve rapidly past each o her; but the large consumption of expensive cheml als In the batteries, with a corresp jndlngly In significant result In power, gave no en couragement from a commercial point of view, and It was not until the discovery that the' battery could be entirely elimi nated that the possibilities of electricity as a factor In the great Industrial world appeared Some time In the 60s Prof. Henry gave his little son, for a plaything, one of these experimental electro-magnetto machine which had been discarded aa useless. No battery or chemicals accompanied the gift, o the l.ttle chap amused himself by twirl-' Ing the contrivance by hand. Tiring of this, ha reached out for other worlds, and surreptitiously securing a galvanometer, one of the little Instruments used by the professor for measuring cut rent, he hooked on the wires In the way ha had seen his father attach them and continued his twirl ing. While he was engaged the profe-sor arrived and, glancing at the galvanometer, was aatonlahed to see Indications of an electrlo current Taking a hand In the twirling, he found unmistakable evidence that by rapidly revolving the magnet In front of each other an electric cur. ant of considerable energy was produced w.th out tne agency of any electric ba.tery. 1 he true generator had been found, and the dawn of the electrical age, with all Its marvelous wealth of scientific and commer cial exploitation and tuccesf, opened. A an Instance of the scientific phrase ology which confronts a student It may be noted that this simple discovery by a play ful boy 1 diagnosed by Faraday aa the law Large Salaries Rock Island, who recently retired. There are quite a number of other railroad preal. dents who draw annual aalarles of $50,000. Three year ago F. D. Underwood waa the general manager of tbe Baltimore Ohio, when one day he wa requested by James J. Hill to make an examination of the Erie railroad and report on the possi bilities of the system. After Mr. Under wood had made the examination ha one day received ft message from J. P. Morgan .asking him to call at hi office, Mr. Mor gan aaked him what he had found as th result of his Inspection of the Erie. Mr. Underwod replied that with free away ha could aav 20 per cent of the eost of op erating the company, and put It on ft par with the other trunk Unas. H said that i) would tak th hardest work of his life, and that he would stake hi reputation oa It for $60,000 ft year. Hi term were ao oepted. In th matter of salaries th larger in dustrial corporation appear to be more liberal than the railroads. 8. C T. Dodd, the general solicitor of th Standard Oil company, probably receives as large a aal ary as any other person In this country. Ho la said to draw a salary of 1250,000 ft year. When Charles M. Schwab waa president of th United States Steel corporation he drew an annual salary of $100,000. When Mr. Sohwab resigned the salary of the president of the steel corporation waa reduced to $75,000 a year. This reduction was made be cause of that fact that many of the dutle that Mr. Schwab had performed aa presi dent were turned over to various commit tee after his resignation. In addition to his alary of $76,0u0 William E. Corey make a communion on the volume of the business of the company. In this way hia income probably average over $100,000 a year. The late 8. R. Callaway, who wa tha president of th American Locomotive com pany, waa said to have drawn a salary of $100,000 a year. To accept that position Mr. Callaway resigned the position of president of the New York Central. Henry O. Have tneyer, president of the American Sugar Refining company, is understood to draw a calary of $100,000 ft year. C. A. Colvln of th General Electric company la understood to draw a salary of $T,uoo a year.

There are said to be at letutt five other officials of the' company that maks as much a $50,000 ft year. The other prominent life Inaurano oompanlea pay equally aa liberal salaries, th head official of all of th large com paniu receiving aa much a $I00,0uv ft year.

Vanity of a Kin. Edwin E. A. Abbey has almost finlnhed his picture of the gorgeous coronation scene In Westminster abbey. The final stroke were deferred in a curious way. King Edward had seen the great canvas and was much pleased. About that time a courtier whispered in the royal ear that the coronation robe hid the royal legs from view. His majesty, who Is very human, bit at the bait and Mr. Abbey was asked to readjust the robe in such a way. as to reveal one of his majesty' legs. The leg was painted from a model with hand some limbs. When the king saw the pic ture again he wa delighted. The , firm, ' graceful line of the calf, curving so ele gantly in white silk hose, stirred the royal imagination. He insisted that - both legs should be shown. This, of course, neces-' a'tated a more selus cbtnge In the ar rangement of the robe, the key of the whole scheme of color, and therefore a modification of the' general tone of the pioture. The Aator sail Orefoa, The interesting fact come out that the managers of the Lewis and Clark exposi tion at Portland, Ore., have tried in vain to arouse the Interest of the New York Astor family In the show. They have re peatedly written to John. Jacob In New York and to William Waldorf In London, but have received no answers. The Astors are dumb and their pockets are unassail able. The Oregon people vainly imagined that the part the original old-time Astor played in tm fur trade of th northwest and later in the colonisation of the Co lumbia river region, would arouse the family pride in the coming exposition. The truth is, that the original John Jacob lost $4,0 O.OuO on his Oregon venture, and all he got out of it waa to have the town of Astoria named after lilm. And that does not arouse the Astor family's enthusiasm. Reminiscence of Ben Butler.

The editor of a flourishing Journal In a California town recently called at the "horn of tha bride's parents" the day after the wedding. He was desirous of telling hi reader all about th event and wished to glv th young couple a good "end-oa" of the best of the Butler stories. , Butler waa on his way to Boston to try a cas before Judge Shaw. A young friend met htm on the trsin and he asked if he might look at the notes on th case. Butler acquiesced. The young man, to his astonish ment, saw written In pencil nt the top of the first page: "Insult the Judge." "You see," said Butler, "I first get Judtre Bhaw'i 111 will by Insulting him In some way. Later In the case he will have decision to make for or against me.

"The Swasl brave went to Windsor and had an audience of her majesty Queen Victoria. They were very graciously received. One of their number began to speak, and an Interpreter followed him phrase by phrase. 'We come. Oh great mother," he sold, "to bring to you our babe. Tnke him.

The Beecher-Tllton trial Is recalled by th death a day or two ago of William H. DrvIs. the last of the twelve men who msde up the Jury which sat In the trial. In all the time which has elspsed since the Beecher trial Mr. Davis, according to the statement of his relatives, has never told how he voted on the Jury, nor expressed an opinion In regard to the guilt or Innocence of Mr. Beecher. After the Jury returned to the courtroom and reported a disagree ment it wa discharged. The individual members were asked for expressions of opinion In regard to the case. None of the twelve men would consent to say anything and It was learned that before the verdict was brought In all had agreed never to divulge what had taken place In the Jury room, even to their own families. It I be lieved that with the death of Mr. Davis the last chance that the proceedings of th Jury would become known has vanished. , Snrpnsslngr Knowledge. When Joseph H.

The Jury of good men and true at the conclusion of the testimony took but a few mlnutea to come to a decision. The evidence had been ao conclusive and the decision o quickly reached that Mr. Choate wa perfectly dumbfounded to hear their verdict which was against him.

Blr Arthur Sullivan waa at on time greatly worried about what appeared to him to be bad Inconsistency In "The Lost Chord." Blr John Robinson tells the story! "The words are: "I struck one chord of muslo like the sound of a great amen.' Now amen is a word of two syllables, so that there must have been two chords. He did not notice this, he said, until after the song had been sung In public and he was terribly afraid he would get laughed at for It Strange to say, nobody ever seemed to have found it out" a welL The bride' mother met him.
