Chicago spends 3600, 00 & year in street lighting: Boston, $650. 000; Cincinnati, $425,000; Baltimore, $350. 000; San Francisco, $245,000; Providence. 8250,000; New Orleans, $200,000; Cleveland, 835,000, and Washington, a city of long distances, low houses and wide streets. $235,000. New York will expend for street Nighting 1o 1901 $2.745,000 for gas and clec trioity. Of this total Manhattan uses $380,- 000, Brooklyn 3050000, the Bronx $350,000 Queens $355,000 and Richmond $130,000. New York has in all nearly 60,000 lamps, gas and electric. There are 30,000 in New | York and the Bronx. of which 24,286 are gas 1amps. 4,638 electric and the others naphtha mps. Brooklyn has 11,015 gas lamps and €503 electric lamps. Queens borough. the moost extensive division of New York to be ghted, has 3,820 gas lamps and 2,106 elec- tric 1smps. Richmond, the most progressi ©of the horoughs of New York in this par- tcular, has all electric lights—no gas. Of these 2,583 mre incandescent lamps and 3 wmre arc lights. There are, moreover. 100 oll lamps in use in the borough of Rich- mond. According to the tabulation made by the Electrical Review, Illinols heads the liat in pumber of separgte electric light stations baving 258, againat 225 In Pennsylvania, 201 In New York and 188 in Ohlo. Pennsylvania has the largest capitalization, however, its lighting plants being capitalized at a total of $110,008.000. New York comes next with $102,068,000; New Jersey, $64,429,000: Cali- forgia, $50,192,975; Massachusetts, $45.375.- 800;' iinots, $30,156,550 Cheap Power In ¢ | the | | [ . Wei The following statement concerning elec- tricity and water power in California and pther parts of the west was made public by the divislen of hydrography of the United Btat, Geological surve, “Electricity generated by watey seems to be the destined cheap power for €alifornia and for other yortions of the arid weat where coal is scarce or too expensive for profitable use The conditions In California are particu Jarly tavorable for rapld advance in this direetion, They are briefly, first, the high price of fuel, and, second. a fortunate com- bination of favorable conditions of climate. topography and water resources. By reason of these conditions California has made an enviable name for itself in the 1ast twelve years by its energy and enter- prise in the development and transwigsion of electric power, and it still holds a posi- tion amovg the foremost, in this “regard The coal used in southern California comes from Alaska, British Columbia, New Mexico d even Australia, ana soft coals sell for from 36 to $10 per ton. This almost pro- Bibitive price for fuel, while it has made power very expensive and greatly retarded the manufacturing progross of the state, has also given a strong impetus to water snd eleotrical advancement. The ad- vantages California Iacks in coal deposits nd prices 1t possesses in a marked degree in other respects. It includes within its boundaries high. longitudinal mountain ranges which are snow-capped throughout year, and from which flow numerous streams of very heavy gradients, furnishing 1deal péwer for the operation of electrical meehinery. The general climatic conditions of the state are also an aid to this de- lopment. The average low relative hu midity of the atmosphere greatly aid: in the transmission of the electric current by permitting a high order of insulation of the Mne. Tn this way power is transmitted over long distances, considerably further than elsewhere in this country.

In the ocean 1and, animal lite depends on vegetation for support There are many reatures i the water, but the little fishes and animaiculae oy which they feed live And In the water, as on la piants derive their sustenance from organic substances which they manufacturg into living tissue, 1. therefore, such a survey were made of the seas as would show how much vegetation was producel there, then it might be possible to figurs out the amount of animal life that could be sustained thereby. Thus, it has been found that an acre of cultivated land in Prussia will produce about seventy-five pounds of vear. There are naturalists who hope to eatablish a similar ratio between the vegetable angd animal life of the ocean Karl Brandt, in a paper which has been translated for the latest volume of Smith tells something ahou be ensy than there the resul* the it A s carnivorous in- In the sea there are two general classes THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY.

Herr Brandt quotes Schutt as saying: “The sailor, who fanel he has pure water under him, really saile everywhere in the midst of a rich vegetn tion.”" And this microscopic vegetation it is which sustaine animal life and which corresponds the pastures where sheep and cattle fatten. The scaweed along the «hore bears about the same relation to the fishes as the foreets do 1o land animals, #0 far as furnishing food is concerneq The growth of terrestrial plants is facill tated by the presence of certain compounds of nitrogen.

There are a number of other interesting electric plants in California be sides that on the Yuba river. One on the North Fork of the San Joaquin river, in the east central part of the state, supplies power for light and general purposes to the city of Fresno and surrounding towns about seventy miles, On the dif- ferent branches of the Keru river there are several plants, some of which are in- tended to furnish power for the city of Los Angeles, situated 108 miles away. To the San Antonio Light and Power company, however, helongs the credit for the erec- tion of the first plant for the long distance transmission of electriclty in the United States. In 1892 a current was delivered over | the lines of this company to the cities of Pomona and San Bernardino, a distance of cighteen and twenty-eight miles respec- tively, at a line voltage of 10,000 volts, au achfevement hitherto unheard of. These and other plants are all run by the splen- aid water powers of the state, and the great possibilities for further development are limited only by economic needs. Much attention through a seriea of years has been given to a careful and systematic study of the streams of California, to se- cure the data on which depend their de- velopment for power and irrigation pur- poses. Most of this work has been done by the United States Geological survey as a part of its general investigations of the water resources of the whole country.” The completion of the second great wheel pit of the Niagara Falls Power company ca]ls attention not only to the greatest elec- trical engineering achievement of modern times, but also to the wonderful develop- ment in power transmission in all parts of the globe since the Niagara cataract was first harnessed. This second wheel pit. which was cut through the solid rock, 1s 462 feet long, 178 feet deep and 18% feet wide. At the bottom of this pit will be the turbine wheels, working under a head of 145 feet of water, capable of furnishing electrical energy estimated at 55,000-horse | power, made up of eleven units of 5000~ horse power oach. This achlevement at Niagara Falls is the parent of many won- derful power transmission plants that have been successfully installed in various parts of the country, and which indicate the al- most limitless possibilities of this kind of power production. The one on the Upper Yuba river, California, furnishes electricity to run the street cars fo Oakland and San Jose, one in the mountains of San Bernar- Qino sends electric power to Los Angeles, and the Snoqualmie Falls Power plant car- vies power to Seattle and Tacoma, Wash )ne of the most interesting projects of this kind now under way is that undertaken by President Hill of the Great way, by which it is proposed to run cars on that road between Skykomish and Leav- enworth, a distance of sixty-six miles, by electricity, the power to be supplied by some of the streams that abound in the Cascade mountains. These are only a few of the notable power transmission plants which Indicate that the achievements in the work of yoking clectricity and hydraul- ies in the next quarter century will be far beyond the dreams of modern engineering enthusiasts. rent Notes.

In September of that year, while General Washington with a small army was endeavoring to impede the progress of the British, he was defeated at the battle of Brandywine. A% the American army approached Philadelphia congress rein- vested Washington with extraordinary powers and adjourned to Lancaster, the largest inland town in Pennsylvania. Only one day's eession was held there, when congress moved to York about twenty miles westward, across the Susquebanna river, a wide stream difficul: or navigation. York was then a town of 1,500 {nhabitants When congress assembled there it beheld the chlef cities of the unlon in the hands of the enemy and the American army, again defeated at Germantown, retreating before a conquering foe, toward a winter encamp- ment twenty miles northwest of Philadel- phia. Congress for nine months of the years 1777-78 held fts sessions in York and while there heard the news of the surren- der of Burgoyne at Saratoga, adopted the articles of confederation, received the news from Benjamin Frinklin at Parle of the de- cision of the French government to ald the Americans in their struggle for freedom and issued the first national Thanksgiving proclamation. For one month after congress as- sembled in York, John Hancock, who had been elected two vears before, was presi- dent. Upon his resignation and return (o Boston Heary Laurens, an eminent states- man from South Carolina, was unanimously chosen his successor. On October 30, 1777, soon after congress received the news of the brilliant victory of | Gates at Saratoga and the surrender of the entire British army under Burgoyne, Henry Laurens, as president of congress, ap- pointed Richard Henry Lee of Virginia, Samuel Adams of Massachusetts and Gen- eral Roberdeau of Pennsylvania a com- giving. This historic document was drafted by Richard Henry Lee, who a litile more than one year before had offered the motion in congress that *‘these thirteen col- onles are, and of right ought to be, free and Independent states.” He was one of the most distioguished of the revolutionary patriots and statesmen and served on more committees in the continental congress thun any one of his assoclates in that historic body, noted for its eminent men.
