Victoria Falls the Greatest of the
Mighty Torients

Tba Fall* of Iht Iguacaw Wivar Hold
Second P!aea, and Th#?? Threa Ar?
In a Clata by TKamaalvaa ? Thair
Eiactrio Powar Poaaibilittaa.
At one time waterfalls tn large riv
ers were interesting only because of
| their scenic beauty. and their very ex
istence w*? deplored because they ob
structed navigation. But man ha*
found a way to harness these mighty
power producer* and today they are of
the greatest value to the commercial
world because the millions of water
horse power can be changed Into eloc
i tridty and transmuted for hundreds
of miles to be nsed as a reliable sub
stitute for our vanishing coal supply.
When it is remembered that two
cubic feet of water, weighing 125
pounds, by falling a distance of only
six feet will produce one horse power
of energy, it Is easy to comprehend
that millions and millions of horse
: power are wasted every minute by the
torrent* of water tumbling over Nlag
am. the Victoria falls and the Iguassu
river and many lesser falls throughout
the world. This falling water Is gnided
I by steel and concrete penstocks to j
powerful water turbines which whirl |
great electric generators. The current I
produced In this way Is easily trans I
mltt?l for hundreds of miles over small
copper wires to the cities and towns
where it Is used to haul the railroad
trains to drive the great manufactur- !
ing plants and to give us light and j
j heat.
Loyal as we all are to our country, |
we must admit that even the mighty j
j torrent of Niagara ranks only third In j
sire woen compared to the waterfalls J
of the world The largest of the earth's I
waterfalls, the Victoria falls of the j
Zambezi river In Rhodesia, are 386
feet high anil more than a mile wide,
and were discovered by Livingstone In
lSTCv The water power of these falls
is estimated to be fully 3.1 .000.0*00
horse power, two and one-half times |
that of Iguacsu and Bve Mines that of I
Niagara.
South America possesses a watenaii
which exceeds Niagara both in width
and tn height and la actually the sec
ond largest waterfall In the world.
This little known waterfall ta that of
the Ijnmssu river, tributary of the Pa
rana. and. like Niagara, Is situated at
the boundary of two states, each of
which owns half of it The total water
power of the Iguassu fall, which is 213
*rct high and nearly two miles wide.
Is estimated as about 14.000.000 horse
power. This Is approximately equal to
the aggregate water power of all Scan
dinavia. which is rich In waterfalls, or
about fen times the total water power
of Germany
There is no other waterfall in the
world which la at all comparable In
greatness with the Zambesi Iguassu
or the Niagara. Asia, notwithstand
ing its colossal mountain ranges. Is
comparatively poor tn large waterfalls,
which are found most abundantly in
Africa and North America. The lar
gest African streams especially are in
terrupted by many falls of considerable
height. The Kongo has several high
falls which owing to the great volume
of the river, about sixteen times that
of the Nile, may be counted among
the most Important sources of water
power on earth. The Stanley falls, in
the middle reach of the river, consist
of seven successive falls, of a total
height of 104 feet and a width of near
ly 4.000 feet and ofTer an exceedingly
rich source of power which probably
will soon be exploited.
Still more important Is the total wa
ter power which the Kongo develops in
the non-navigable section extending
from Its mouth to Stanley pool. Here
| the river, confined in a channel only a
few hundred yards wide and with a
j depth of water of nearly 300 feet,
flows with a velocity of forty-eight feel
a second, so that at every point of the
I stream 2T>.0O0 to 30.000 cubic meters or
about 1.000,000 cubic feet of water are
hurled along with Irresistible force,
while thirty-two rapids and waterfalls
lower the level of the stream by 820
feet In a stretch of 170 miles
The lower Nile. In Egypt, possesses
a scries of rapids, the celebrated cata
racts of the Nile, but no waterfall In
the strict sense of the wonl True,
waterfalls occur on the upper Nile,
the most beautiful of them at the
point where the stream Issues from
l.ake Victoria Nyanra. This RIpoo
fall Is only a few yards In height, but
the volume of water Is so great that
it presents a magnificent spectacle.
Comparatively few persona know
which Is the highest waterfall In Eu
rope. The most voluminous of Euro
pean waterfalls, strictly so called, are
the Milne falls, at SchafThausen. but
the highest are the RJaken falls of the
Mann-Elf river, tn the Norwegian
province of Telemarken. The princi
pal fall la S00 feet high, and the total
height of the two chief falls with the
Intervening rapids amounts to 1,837
feet, while the average flow of water
Is fifty cubic meters, or 1.700 cubic
feet a second. The Rjaken falls, with
'Jjoir total energy of 250.000 horse
power, have been converted to Indus
trial uses.? Electric News.

; A MUSICIAN'S ROMANCE:

The life story of M Fanelll, th# com

| r*?d* like ? romance. How easily Jt :
might have rend like a tragedy fhia In
I cldent will show.
In his youth Fanelll hart been wof
ageotis anrt ambitious, full of (trNW 1
| of the music Iwi \Ws coin* to write for
the world to liear anrt art mint Bnt
i misfortune followed ml* fort ana. Ha
! found It Impoiialble to jret a heartwr ;
; for hla compositions, and on* by one ,

Ten. twenty, thirty year* went by. i
! Fanolli nil hof* CtaoMI by continued i
i adversity, was earning a pittance by j
i plnylng night nfter night In an orchea !
I tra. None of Mm colleague* suspected j
hla genius, for he kept hla ambittona |
; locked In hi* heart, aa he kept the
? symphony, the masterpiece of bla
yonth, locked In hi* rteak.
Then one day Kanelll. In *earch of I
j work as a copyist. called npon Gabriel I
Plerne. one of the crent musical celeb- j
rifles of Part*. Askfil to show a sam
' pie of his writing. Kanelll produced
j the symphony, whKb he had brought 1
with him. Plerne lo?.?;ed at It and mw j
j that the writing was dear: then he *nw |
something more, for he continued rend
ing the music eagerly
"Who l* thla KanelllT' be asked at j
; length.
i "Myself." answered the <-om[>o*er "1
I wrote it nearly thirty year* ago."
| "Leave this with me and come again j
In a few days."
| So Fanelll w^nt out, while Plerne. too j
| en rapt to say goodby. stood by the ]
window, poring over the music. A j
few days later he announced to the de
lighted hot dazed Fanelll that he was
going to prodtnee tbe symphony at one j
of tbe Concerts Colonne.
On the eventful night Fanelll him- j
self took a si?at with tbe musician*, j
Tears came Into bis eyes aa be beard j
tbe first strains of hla work, neglected j
for so many years. He was not alone |
In his emotion, however, for as the j
music proceeded tears came Into the I
eye* of the other musicians, tbe dl- f
rector, tbe audience. Tbe music took j
them by storm When It was over a j
burst of applnnse broke out, rose and j
swelled anrt would not die away. The |
composer alone sat quiet, aa If In deep |
thought. Finally he got up. walked j
over to Plerne. and with a full heart |
expre?*ed his gratitude.
"Again I tbfink yon. M Plerne." be i
said, taking his leave. "Good night. !
and a good appetite to you."
Plerne wondered at this ?trange fare
well but at ln*t the meaning dawned I
on him. The applause that was still j
ringing thronjrh the hall had brought j
to Fanelll not only fame, but what for I
the moment was of even more Impor- |
tance to him. the promise of easier llr- j

One day In the train?on one of Vic

the company of two English ladles
who spoke French. Hugo knew hot
one word .of English ? Christmas,
which he always pronounced "Chrlat

these ladles ebserved that It must be
Inconvenient for him not to know
1 English when he was passing through
that <xmntry. To which the great
man's reply was. "When England
wants to talk with me she will learn
my language!" "From their astonish
ment at this answer," said Hugo in re
lating the story, "it was evident tbey

Echo** From Horses* Skulls.
Those curious twists and turns super
stitions take lire to be found In the In
troduction of horses' skulls In or about
the church buildings In England and
Scotland, the reason alleged being to
help the sound In church. This habit
Is unquestionably a relic of heathenism
where an animal was sacrificed. Some
years ago. when an old meeting house
In Edinburgh was pulled down, the
sounding boa rd space above the pulpit
was found to be filled with hnrsea
sknlis. In some parts of England there
still exists the Idea that If a horse's
head Is burled In a field there will be
an echo.

Energy of Will.
Energy of will Is the tool of "very
great character. Where It Is there la
resolute character; where it is not
there Is falntness. with effeminacy,
despondency, neglect of duty and fail

own path."
