HAVE PERPETUAL MOTION IDEA.
Mhny Men of Ability at Work on
This Problem.
In the days of the Mayflower the ,
first perpetual motion inventors toolt I
out their patents for "engines which ,
being put in order , will cause and
malnteyne their own moclons with
contlnuanco and' without any borrowed -
rowed force of man , horse , wind , river
or brooke , " and in the last century
} they have applied for about GOO patents -
ents which are based chiefly on the
force of gravity , less of equ1llbrlum ,
spoclfic gravity of floats and wolghts .

immersed in water or other liquid , as-
censlon of recoptaclef , ! inflated with
air or gas under water , compression
and subsequent expansion of gases ,
and of the surface tension of liquids.
So sanguinely hopeful are these ingenious -
genious designers that In many cases
they provide bralws to stop their ma.
chines if necessary , or to prevent any
, dangerous increase of speed. The
, care and thought expended on the
I principle and detail of many of the in-
. .entlons demoustrates that many men
of mental ablllty cllug to the idea that
perpetual motion is possible and that
they themselves are successull ' solving -
ing the problem.

GROWING IMPORTANCE OF MICA.
Essential In Electrical Apparatus and
HaG No Substitute.
Mica is a mineral with a mission.
It is an essential in electrl al apparatus -
us and has no substitute. It is produced -
duced especially in the land "where
every prospect pleases. " India. employs -
ploys more persons in micn mining
than any other , and the area covered
b ' mica deposits Is the largest lmown ,
'ieldlng in 1902 G85 tons from 200
mines. The s 'stem followed is to
open cuts along the outcrops of the
mines where mica. crystals are found ,
and to alternate with crosscuts at
right angles through the vein forrlta-
tlon. The material Is raised to the
surface by rows of native women placed -
ed along the inclined opening , who
pass buclwts fllled with mica tram
hand to hand , or pitchers fllled with
water for draining the works. Thorough
rough sheets are crudely trimmed by
a Imlfe , done up into paclwges , and
carried by carts to the shipping
poluts. The wages paid are scarcely
union labor rates , the women getting
six cents a day , the men eight , and
the oversers sixteen.

POWER PLANTS FOR. NIAGARA.
Scheme Now on Foot to Utilize the
Lower River.
Always room for ono more power
plant at Niagara. The latest loolts to
the lower Niagara river , which falls
cighty feet in a length of two and a
half miles , with the whirlpool nearly
at the center of this length. This is
about half the descent of tl o great
cathract above and is made by the en.
tire volume of water that passes ever
both the American and Horseshoe
falls. Alton D , Adams calculates that
the unused power of these rapids
just above and below the whirlpool
could develop half as lUuch power as
could be developed by diverting the
onUro fiow of Niagara rl\'er at the
falls. If the Am rican Calls are to bo
saved further concessions must be
limited to the gorge and lower rap-
ids. His idea is to build pipe lines
between the upper and lower points
of the rapids. Niagara river has a
normal discharge of 222,000 cubic feet
of water a second , and this water
falling eightr Cet't develops 2,000,000
gross horse powor. Mallng due allowance -
ance for losses in the pipe line , water
wheels , tailrace and generators , it
may fairly be said that GO per cent of
the gross energy could be delivered
as electric current if the entire ( lis-
charge of the river were utilized. This
net power is twice as great as that
of all the electric plants now completed -
ed and under construction at Niagara

She Always Made Home Happy ,

A plain marble stone , In a New England -

The Proper Title.
'l'itles of respect and courtesy are
of universal application , and to omit
thom in addr sslng others , except
these with whom wo are on terms at
the closest Intlmaey , betrays a wnut
of roflnement that In some cnseo
amounts to actual rudeness.
Mr. , Master , Mrs" nnd Mls8 are aI-
wars preflxed to the name , unless
some professional or official tltlo taltes 1
their place. 1\11' . hils no English plural - I
ral , but its place is suppllod by
Messrs. , a contraction of the French
' 1\Iossleurs. The want of a plural of
n Madam is supplied by the word La.-
IS dies. To denote seniority in the case
a of two or mal'O unmarrle(1 daughters ,
the eldest alone is 1\IIS3 Brown , whllo
111 the others arc Miss Jane Brown , Miss
o 1\Iary Drown , etc. When all are ad-
JC dressed or spolten to togeUler they are
0the Misses Brown. A marrIed lady
'd generally uses her llUsband's nnmo if
10 ho is living , with the title Mrs. before
LS it ; thus , Mrs. Edward Broolts. She
,1' , may , however , use her own name , Mrs.
LS Mary Broolts , and If she is a widow
she should do it.
