Some of l!ie gold which recently
has come from Europe to ihe United
States wan mined within the past
year in India and it was possible to
take it from the mines because elec
tric energy was conveyed for a lit
tle over 100 miles from a hydraulic
plant situated in northwestern India.
The mines are in the Mysore district
and although they do not rank in
production with some of the South
African mines, yet their yield is large
ami contributes greatly to the new
supply of gold which England re
ceive. This gold would have been una
vailable had not the great water
power 10 miles divtant been cap
tured chiefly with American appar
atus and converted into electric en
crgy. Even before Niagara Falls
furnished energy converted into elec
tric power which was conveyed to
Buffalo, 25 miles distant, these My
sore mines were operated by electric
energy conveyed 100 miles from a
hydraulic plant. It was perhaps the
first demonstration of the ability to
carry electric energy for many miles
to a point where it could be commer
cially utilized.

Tha stupendous amptoyment of electrlo
energy obtained by the eonveralon or
water power to tha mountalna of tha
northwest Into electric energy whereby
tne car of the St. Paul ayatem ara now
operated between Montana and tha Pa
cific coast, haa often been referred to
another proof that electricity obtained
through tho utilization of water power
tuny ba carried many mtlaa to commercial
advantage. 80 alno In tha aouth tho great
water powers In western North Caro
lina have been sufficiently captured to
create electrlo energy by means of which
many cotton mllla stretching in a row
from North Carolina southerly are now
operated.
One Million Yolta.
Recently announcement was made that
cit-nce which was employed by the Gen
eral Klectrlo company haa produced elec
tricity of 1,000,000 voltn. . Thla achieve
ment la In line with others which have
been attained by the men of science who
have beei employed by this corporation.
About a quarter of a century ago the
company was asked It It. could manufac
ture and deliver an apparatus by means
of which an electrlo current equivalent
to 1.000 horsepower could be utilized at the
carborundum plant at Niagara Falls. One
of the leading manufacture of electrlo
apparatus to whom this offer was made
replied that It was impracticable, if not
Impossible, to manufacture an apparatus
of tha kind which was sought. The Sche
nectady company, however, did hesitating
ly undertake to build one and was suc
cessful. The apparatus was then referred
to as one of the marvels of commercial
electricity, but It was a little thing in
comparison with the enormous apparatus
of that kind which thla company now
makes.
Why the company ahould have Instruct
ed the chemical engineers whom It em
ployes to produce, if possible, 1,000,000
volts of electricity, la yet to be explained.
Apparently, auch arupendoua voltage as
thla would be unavailable for conimer-
4aJl--' purposes excepting possibly in one
two unoerLUKiiiKa v iukbuuuub, iuu-
ly its' use would entail heavy expense.
he exoerta aav that by meana of ao
powerful a current it may be possible1 to
transmit this enormous voltage 1,000 miles
or more so than an industrial plant op
erating at. Chicago might receive a cur
rent which had been transmitted 1,000
miles and make good use of it.
' ; Another Source of Fower.
Within a comparatively few yeara there
have been erected -' lofty skeleton ateel
towers which carry wires charged with
22,000 electrlo volts and thla apparatus
finds Its way for many miles across the
country In New England, in New York
state, in the south, and in other districts.
The voltage la so great that there are
- warnings lest any one Imperil his life
by too near approach. Th,ene carry elec
trlo energy which is created by the con
version of water power Into electricity.
They furnish means wheneby great pow
er Is transmitted across country for many
miles to be used chiefly In industrial
plants. So great has been the success of
installments of these aerial wires through
which -electricity generated by water
power passes and . so considerable is the
distance that the electricity can be thus
' conveyed to commercial advantage, that
the probability is strong that in many
parts of the country where coal is now
-burned to generate power, . after normal
times return water power will be em
ployed for the generation of high volt
age electricity to be carried many miles
for industrial purposes. -
Therefore, the creation of electrlo ener
gy of 1,000,000 volts, although it la to
be regarded a one of the latest - tri
umphs of science, evidently has been
accomplished because the able minds In
tha electrical manufacturing corporation
thought that aome time In the future,
although not at present, there may be
profitable employment of ao great a volt
age aa thia.
Just as the chemists at their recent
meeting In New York were revealing aome
of the marvels which chemistry la now
, producing and which are to- be of com
mercial advantage, came the announce
ment that the able men of science who
are emnlnved hv the General Electrlo
company have produced, by methods not
yet explained, 1,000.000 volts of electri-'
, city and nothing heretofore that more
nearly approaches the stupendous voltage
which la In a lightning flash has been
produced. ' , -j ;

New York, Sept. 22. In a day full
of peculiarly interesting financial in
cidents, of which not the least im
pressive were an extraordinary in
crease in reserve percentages in the
federal banks and a notable rise in
silver and the oriental exchanges, the
trend of our own affairs was indicat
ed by decline in rates for merchants'
paper to the lowest of the year and
recovery on the stock exchange.
At the New York reserve bank,
chiefly as a result of a huge transfer
to it by the reserve banks of credits
in the central gold fund at Washing
ton, the total gold reserve rose

to the remarkable height of

I way. these movements may have
forced the hand of the bank in Wed-
r.esday's reduction of the rediscount
rate.
Recovery General.
In the system aa a whole, the similar
changed carried the reserve ratio from
67 Vi per cent to 68, but the outstanding
phenomenon was the accumulation of
banking power in the New York district.
; These Htntementa were nnt iriven mit un
1 the low price of last December, and It
came in striking coincidence with Wednes
day' cabled news that India was once
more overbidding New York at the week
ly London gold sale.
The mysterious accuracy with - which
the successive reversal of financial move
ment in the oriental markets since tho
war nas foreshadowed the general econ
omio trend, in their expansion and in their
great reaction which began in January,
1020, lends importance to the recovery
which has been under way with most of
them since last spring, and Is now becom.
ing more or less sDectacular.

pressure was felt and early in the second
