OASTORIA. Bmi tb The Kind You Have Always Sought In From Further Encroachment of Electric and Other Plants. CANADIANS AT FAULT Three Power Houses at Present at Victoria Park Great Factorlei Abound and Mar the Scenery There I a Prevailing Air of Com mercial Activity. President Roosevelt Is said to be re ceiving many requests to take action for the preservation of the falls ot Ni agara, and in this manner public seutl ment is declared to bo manifesting it self in relation to the great water spec tacle, says the New York Sun. Kifty years ago tho fear was ex pressed that tho erection of the origin al railway suspension bridge across the Niagara gorge would mar the beauty of the scenery, and this was one ol the reasons why, when tho structure was built, It was located two miles below the falls. Later on, in 1808, another bridge project developed at Niagara, the plan being to erect a foot and car riage bridge still closer to the falls. This was opposed on sentimental grounds, but finally the charter was granted. The bridge was built. Years after it was rebuilt, and still later gave way to the present upper steel arch. The lower suspension bridge gave way to the present railway steel arch bridge. There was much opposition to the construction of the Oorge railway, it being declared that the beauty of the New York bank would be ruined by it Still the road was built, and is now patronized by thousands of sight-peers daily. The scenic lino along tho Canadian cliff was another new feature which It was feared would act detrimentally to Niagara, but, in combination with the Gorge road. It now Bcrves as a means for visitors to escape from tho Niagara hackman, the most greedy individual that ever gained foothold at a beauty spot. The diversion of a portion of the flow of the upper river by means of the hydraulic canal was welcomed by the citizens of the former village of Niag ara Falls, who saw in the development of the plan the start of a great indus trial future. The world cheered the enterprise of the Niagara Falls Power company when It decided to develop power by means of the tunnel and wheel pit method. There are now three power compa nies engaged in the development of power in Victoria Park under fran chises granted by the commissioners of that park and approved by the Ontario council and government. One of these companies contemplates a development of from 180,000 to 200,000 horsepower. This concern Is the Ontario Power company, whose power house Is located at the water's edge Iu the gorge, very close to the Horseshoe Full. To effect this development it will run three or more huge steel flumes for a distance of a mile or more through the park boundaries, covering them with earth, In order that they shall not mar the natural beauty of tho park. Its power station in the gorge will be extended as each section of the devel opment is projected, until ultimately If the company's plans do not miscarry, there will be a building several hun dred feet long at the water's edge In the gorge, right in full view of every person who views Niagara. Strenuous efforts have been made to obtain from the state legislature other franchises for Niagara power develop ment during recent years. These ef forts have been so vigorously opposed by various Interests In the state that they have failed of becoming law. New York state shares with the pro vince of Ontario the possession of Ni agara river. New York does not see fit to grant further power rights at Ni agara, but It opens its doors to the product of the big power houses re ceiving the'.r life from water which belongs to New York as much as it docs t3 Ontario. A COSSACK'S CHILDHOOD. Firet Strps In the Rearing of These Savage Servants of the Czar, Powerful light is thrown on Cossack nature by the revelations made by the Russian whom Ernest Poole quotes in his article, "Peasant Cattle," in the Everybody's. "What a fine cook Granny was!" re lates the Cossack, in describing his childhood. "She made bright yellow cakes, big as this big fur hat. It took a long time to bake the cake In the brick oven; it was so soft and delicate that even If you stamped on the floor and jarred the oven the big cake would fall into a lump of dough and be good only to feed the geese and the pea cocks. So old Granny used to hobble up and down in front of the oven wav ing off all of us who tried to get close for a smell; and even If one of us lit tle brats shouted or swore she would curse us soundly In a whisper for mak ing a jar in the air. If you've ever heard a Cossack swear you will see that Granny was right, for a Cossack curse could stop a big locomotive run ning full speed down a mountain! Ha! Ha! Ha!" He learned back and grew red with laughing. "Welt! well!" And my good, fat mother what borsch (soup) she used to make In the deep earthern bowl! When she poured it all splattering Into the brown earthern basin, then we brats used to stand around, each with his wood spoon. We each dipped out a big chunk of moat; If one of us took two pieces, how quick old Granny would beat him In the face with her spoon! We young dogs were always hungry!" RAPID GROWTH OF DIVOKCfc. Mor Husband Than Wive Apply for Complete Dissolution. The growth of divorce in England, ns In the United States, has grown so rapidly, says the London Mall, that It Is causing unenslness to those who are concerned In the moral health of the nation. It Is now 47 years since the divorce court was constituted. Before Jan. 1, 1858, complete dissolution of marrlago could only be effected by act of parliament, and consequently It was a privilege enjoyed by the very rich alone. In tho firRt year of the court's exist ence it had to deal with 326 petitions. Fewer applications for release from the marriage tie were made during the second and third years; In the fourth year, 1801, low water mark was reached, the petitions numbering 23G. From that date up to the present time there has been a continuous rise, but marked, as In the progress of trade, or emigration, or any other affair measured by statistics, by frequent re missions. The Judicial statistics, published this year, only go to l'Jit.1, nnd they show that In 1902 the highest point was touched. In that year there were a to tal of 1,050 petitions for dissolution of marriage, judicial separation, nullity, restitution of conjugal rights, etc. The South African war acted as a disturbing factor. Many members of the class among whom divorce is most common were away, nud, therefore, un able to take action. Thus the petitions fell by nearly 100 in each of the first two years of the war, and rose when the war came to an end. The acts of 1878, ISS'i and IS'Jj en dowed the puor with some of the privi leges of the well-to-do, and here there In real occasion for alarm on the score of morality. Any wife proving deser tion, refusal to maintain her, or ag gravated assault, on the part of her husband, can obtain a separation order which carries a weekly payment for her maintenance at the discretion of the magistrate. While husband and wife are parted forever, the divorce is not complete. Marrlago with another would be big amy. There is only one moral safe guardthe maintenance order is re voked on proof of misconduct. The situation created Is certainly hazard ous. Many curlouB facts are revealed by the judicial statistics. For instance. Judicial separation is going out of fash ion. Some people who cannot live hap pily together arc disinclined to resort to measures for complete dissolution of the marriage and remain content with Judicial separation, the old a mensa et thoro. Hut the number has fallen 12 per cent since 1858. It is the wives who keep it up. ' In 1903 the applicants for judicial separation comprised 86 wives and only four husbands. More husbands than wives apply for complete dissolution. This is a curi ous fact, for it is true of other coun tries also where equal facilities are of fered to the two sexes. The changa in the status of women is shown, how ever, by a tendency in this difference to disappear. A remarkable fact is that the in crease of divorces corresponds with an older marrying age. People marry later In life now than formerly, and apparently with less judgment as to compatibility. But more remarkable Is the length of time husband and wives take to find each other out, so to speak. Taking the average of five years (1898-1903), nearly half the petitions were filed by people who had been married from ten to twenty years. SHOWING WALL PAPERS. Conveniences for Exhibiting Under Artificial Light. Silks have long been shown In stores, when desired, by artificial light, so that the customer may see how they will light up, how they will look at night. Nowadays wall papers are shown In like manner. There are wall papers that look well by day but not so well by night, and then there are wall papers handsome by day that are much handsomer under artificial light papers that light up well. And it is a common thing now for purchasers in selecting wall papers to look at them by daylight and also by artificial light. Purchasers have. Indeed, long done this in a way. The salesman would hold up for their Inspection a roll of paper under a gaslight. But now In some wall paper establishments there are found electric lighted rooms In which wall papers can be shown as they would appear at night under arti ficial light on the wall. The rooms for which papers are thus selected are likely to be not sleeping rooms, but rooms that are occupied by night as well as by day for living pur posesrooms in which It Is important that the papers should light up well and be gratifying to the eye the par lor, the dining room and the library. Natural History. "The moth," remarked the man who assumes superior knowledge, "has nev er been credited with the sagacity It really possesses. The moth is an epi cure." "It'll eat anything In sight," replied his auditor. "That's where you are wrong. It Is a creature of taste and discernment. You have observed that it eats holes in your evening clothes, and only attacks your business suit when there Is noth ing else." "Which Is sheer cussedness." "Not at all. When you attend a ban quet you wear your evening clothes. And the moth's procedure conclusively demonstrates that it knows the differ once between terrapin and champagne and plain restaurant coup," Washlaa ton Star. jillllLl ANcfcfable Preparation Tor As similating rttcFoodnndHegula ting the Stomachs oral Dowels of Promotes Digcslion.ChrerPui nessnnrinrst.Contdins nclilKT Opitim.MoTphine norrlincral.
