It la a m in take to aay. as many do, that the
withdrawal of a current euua! to that of a

has no effect upon th tremendous cataract.
It la calculated that something like T per

Niagara river Is already taken from th

into the gorgs below th precipice.
What has been done Is only a beginning.

but th plans under way call for the de
velopment of UO.OuO electrical horsepower In

other words, nearly six times as much
water 1 to be withdrawn from th river. If
all the undertakings contemplated shall be
carried through to complatlun, as has al

Lost Calf Found wllk Mild Deer.
An odd story comes up from Great Inland,
In Portland heibor, In connection with the
deer situation down there. Last fall a calf
belonging to Frsnk Btevens n rayed away
and, although efforts wer mad to And It,
could not be located.
Recently, however, some gunners wha
were out hunt!mr saw the long lust c.ilf lr
company with a deer, and alnco that time
the two have be.i sen together on stve:ul
ocraflcus, sometimes the culf b.Ung wltii
several deer, it lr evident that th little
animal has been adopted by the deer of
Ori-at Inland and hus now become one of
their number. It hits becntn as shy ss a
deer and In fact lives and nets Just as Utay
do. Kennebec (Me ) Journal.
