The waterfalls of the earth have become the' subject of a conflict which is yearly increasing in vio- lence. The lovers of nature wish 'to preserve the waterfalls in their original 'condition as far as. pos- sible for all time, while the cngin- eers and industrial promoters seek to exploit them as sources of cheap power for electro-technical purpos- es. The accomplishment of this ob- ject on a large scale necessarily in- volves the total destruction or seri- ous injury to the waterfalls, re- garded as picturesque additions to the landscapes. It is only within recent years that waterfalls have been consid- ered from the commercial point of view, but since it has beea recog- nized that the energy of flowing water in very many cases furnishes a cheap and almost inexhaustible substitute for coal, which is yearly becoming more costly and more largely consumed, the great water- falls, which as impediments to in- ternal navigation have hitherto been worse than worthless from the viewpoint of social economy, have suddenly become objects of very great value. The falling water drives the tur- bines of electrical power stations, producing electric light and pow- er, which in many cases are trans- mitted over hundreds and even thousands of miles. The war over the waterfalls which is now being waged by the friends of nature and the promoters of industry is likely soon to increase greatly in bitter- ness, for many CELEBRATED FALLS. have already been destroyed or have at least suffered aesthetic in- jury from the establishment of pow- er stations, The famous falls of the Rhine at Schaffhausen are at present the 'subject of heated controversy. Sev- eral power stations already stand on their banks and sap their life blood. The Swiss Government, however, takes care to preserve a sufficiently large volume of water to maintain the character of the falls as a notable spectacle and an attraction for tourists, writes Dr. Richard Herring in Ueber Land und Meer. A still more bitter strife has been engendered in America by the question of the preservation or destruction of the Falls "of Ni- agara. These famous falls have al- ready narrowly escaped entire ab- sorption in the pipes of power sta- tions, and very energetic action on the part of lawmakers both in the United States and Canada has been required to keep intact from indus- trial invasion and preserve in its original beauty at least a remnant of this great wonder of the world. There is a popular but erroneous iof "the Falls of Ni- : 1d, those more © persons who know that the toria Falls of th in Africa' are twi water power of Germany. Ths ation to exploit this great, ustible, + never . .freeziag as a source of power for xh fadustrial' purposes may be easily imagined. oF . At present such exploitation is quite impossible, .as the Iguassu 1Fall is too far from the beaten tracks of commerce to make it pro- fitable to establish any electrical] power station, but: it will. probab- will be threatened with the fate of Niagara. This undesirable: possi-: ili, has been foreseen by the in- erested States, Brazil and Argen- tina, which have already beguu ne- gotiations designed to protect the alls. : The largest of the carth's water- falls, the Victoria Falls of the Zam- besi River in Rhodesia, which are 386 feet high and more than a mile wide and which were discovered by Livingstone in 1855, have also be- come the subject of a compromise between the conflicting demands of the lovers of nature and the pro- moters of industry. The water power of these falls is estimated to be fully ' 385,000,000 HORSE-POWTR, two and one-half times that of the Iguassu and five times that of Ni- agara. By way of comparison it should be noted that the aggregate water power of the whole of Europe cannot greatly exceed 35,000,000 horse-power. It is certainly possible to derive a few million horse-power from this great fall without appreciablv de- 'tracting from its majestic beauty, The 'demands which are made at present are still more modest. The Victoria Falls Power Company ask for only 150,000 horse-power, less than one two-hundredth part of the whole, and the plans for the future development of the station involve no danger of the annihilation of the 'falls. The British Government and the colonists know very well that the Victoria Falls, which since 1205 have been easily reached by the Cape to Cairo Railway, which crosses the Zambesi immediately in front of the principal fall, will cer- tainly bring as much money into the country by attracting tourists as by producing electrical power. There is no other waterfall in the world which is at all compar- able in greatness with the Zambe- si, Iguassu or the Niagara. Asia, notwithstanding its colossal moun- tain ranges, is comparatively poor in large waterfalls, which are found most abundantly in Africa and North America. The largest Afri- can streams especially are inter- rupted by many falls of consider- able height. The Congo has sever- al high falls which, owing to the great volume of the river, about sixteen times that of the Nile, may be counted among the most import- ant sources of water power on carth. THE STANLEY FALLS, in the middle reach of the river, consist of seven successive falls, of a total height of 164 feet and a width of nearly 4,000 feet, and of- fer an exceedingly rich source of power which probably will soon be exploited. Still more important is the total water power which the Congo develops in the non-navi- gable section extending from its mouth to Stanley Pool. Here the river, confined in a channel only a few hundred yards wide, and with a depth of water of nearly 300 feet, flows with a velocity of 48 feet a second, so that at every point of the stream 25,000 to 30,000 cubic meters, or about a million cubic feet of water, are hurled along with irresistible force, while thirty-two rapids and water falls lower the level of the stream by 820 feet in a stretch of 170 miles. The lower Nile in Egypt possesses a series of rapids, the celebrated cataracts of the Nile, but no water- fall in the strict sense of the word. True waterfalls occur on the upper Nile, the most beautiful of them at the point where the stream issues from Lake Victoria Nyanza. This Ripon fall is only a few yards in height, but the volume of water is so great that it presents a magni- ficent spectacle. Comparatively few persons know the highest waterfall in The most voluminous of aterfalls, strictly so the Rhine .Falls at "but -the highest dre alls of the Maan-Elf the Norwegian province . The principal fall h and the total height 'chief falls with the inter- amoints 0° 1,837 feet, f water is ; mer, are Greek words, SFX ATERFALLS well spare a few. In n, likewise, all Beandinavian waterfalls, 'have been almost entirely ihilated as objects of natural beauty. Nearly all of their water is now employed for the production of electricity. The Government itself has re- cently established here a power sta- tion with a capacity of 40,000 horse- power. This, now the. largest water power station in Europe, will soon tbe surprized, however, by the éta- tion at. Rjukan in: Norway and by a still larger station in the north of Sweden, which will serve for ay. The Porjus Fall; at 'which this last mentjoned station will be placed, "is only one fall, or: rather rapid, of a loag series formed by the Lule-Elf near its cource ia the lake region of : Lapland. or The largést and most beautiful of these falls is the celebrated Har- sprang, which forms the subject of many. legends... The Porjus power station is expeoted to reach com- pletion in 1914 and to develop soon afterward about 80,000 borse-power, yet the wild beauty of the Porjus Fall will be little affected, as it is estimated that its total water pow- er in summer, after its sources of supply have been regulated, will be about 300,000 horse-power. In the Porjus Rapid the river de- The Harsprang is also half water- fall and half rapid and accomplish- e3 a descent of 244 fee' in 1}{ miles. The Harsprang would therefore yield more power than the Porjus, but it is to remain untouched for the present, and it is to be hoped that it will be forever preserved as a natural monument. - Sweden, with its great wealth in water pow- er, can well afford such a luxury. Even little Finland is endeavoring to preserve natural beauty and has decided to keep her greatest wat- erfall in its original condition as a natural monument and to allow no large power station to be orected on its banks. This fall is the cele- brated Imatra Fall of the Wouxen River. The total descent is only 66 feet in two miles, but the volume is very great and the depth con- siderable, while the width of the stream contracts from 570 to 150 feet in the course of the falls. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL STUDY INTERNATIONAL LESSON, SEPTEL® 17. Lesson XII.--Daniel's Companions in the Fiery Furnace, Dan. 3. Golden Text, Heb. 13. 6. Verses 1-7--The king's proclama- tion regarding the image. 1. Nebuchadnezzar--No date is given, but there seems to be war- rant for assuming that it was about the eighteenth year of his reign, after some notable victory. An image of gold--Not necessar- ily of solid gold. In all probability it was simply overlaid with gold. As no mention is made of any par- ticular deity it 1s likely the image represented the king himself, this being a not uncommon practice of the Assyrian kings. These images were set up in conquered places, and suitably inscribed. It would require an enormous amount of gold for a statue ninety feet high and nine feet broad, but it was a matter of pride with these mon- archs of the East that they had so much gold. The plain, or valley, of Dura has been partially identi- fied by a huge brick mound, which may have formed the pedestal of a gigantic image. It is located about six miles below Babylon. 2. The dedication of the image -- Those invited to the solemn festi- val are named with minute fullness by the writer. It is difficult to give any specific description of these functionaries. ~~ The satraps were chief rulers of a province. The gov- ernors were perhaps the rulers of conquered provinces. The names seem to be a catalogue of Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian titles, and may represént tho threé classes, of civil, military, and legal officets. Among the other rulers of the prov- inces were probably included the three Hebrew children. The story has nothing to say about Daniel. He was an exceptionally high dig nitary (Daniel 2. 49). + 4. Pedples, nations, and langu- ages--This: redundancy of expres- sion is common in Daniel and Re- velation. The crowd present would include mot only Babylonions, but Greeks, Phoenicians, Arabs, Jews; 'and Assyrians: 'ut kB.

Chaldeans--In the hook, of Daniel the word is descriptive, not of a nation, as elsewhere in the Old! - Testament, but of a learned elass among the Babylonians. . It waa! made up of the priests, whose du- ties: lay. largely in the realm of magic, astrology, and divination. | / Brought accusation -- Literally, "they ate the torn pieces of the : Jews." This shows that back of their charge was an excessive as lousy. In addressing the king, they use the standing formula employed elsewhere in Daniel (compare 2. 4). 12. Jews whom thou hast appoint. ed--Revealing the secret of their malice. These disappointed aspire ants for imperial honors seized cag: erly this chance to bring a charge of disloyalty against the youths wha had outstripped them in their own craft. 13. Nebuchadnezzar in his rage-- It is said that this king was sub- ject to sudden outbursts like this. He could not tolerate what seemed base ingratitude and insubordina- tion on the part of those whom he had favored. : 14. Is it of purpose 1--The king is willing to put the best construction upon their act. Perhaps after all they had not intended openly to defy him. He will give them the privilege of recanting at any rate. 15. Who is that god that shall'de- liver you !--A defiant challenge to the God of Israel.! Simifar: chal- lenges, and their answers, may be studied in Exod. 5. 2, Isa. 36. 20, 2 Chron. 32. 13-17. . 18. But if not--The three young men had no doubts as to God's ability to help them in this hour of peril. It might not be in accord with his full purpose to do so. Even so, they would not be unfaithful. The steadfastness of their faith and courage is admirable. 'It is man's testimony 'to his indomitable belief that the things of sense are not to be valued in comparison to that high bappiness which arises from obedience to the laws of conscience,' and that no extremities of agony are commensurate with apostasy." 19-27--The youths delivered. ! 19. The furnace--Probably one used for the customary cremation of the dead. 21. Mantles--Though the names of these garments are at most only] conjectures, this is probably the best word for the robe, a long, loose one, and therefore most apt to catch the flames. 22, The fire slew those men--In the Septuagint, which includes a "Song of the Three Children,' the flames are represented as stream- ing forth seventy-five feet. 24. The king was astonished--The words imply that he was alarmed as well as amazed, 50 much so that the rose up in agitation from the seat from which he had been watch- ing the proceedings. 25. The fourth is like a son of the gods--The king could identify the three youths whose fetters were burned away, so that they were loose, but whose bodies appeared unscathed. But the fourth had an angelic appearance. This is all that is meant by the expression. Nebuchadnezzar could not have used the phrase 'Son of God," found in our authorized version, with the Christian meaning we at- tach to it. Besides the last word is actually plural, '"'gods." 28-30--The king's doxology, edict of toleration, and promotion of the Plaithful Jews. 29. Shall be cut in pieces--The violence of this punishment is in keeping 'with the spirit of Orien- tal butcheries such as were com- monly practised by Assyrian and Persian despots. The threat to transform a house into a dunghill was also common (Ezra 6. 11; Dan. 2. b). 30. Promoted--That is, assisted them in various ways so that their course in the province would be a prosperous one. Ye ee ROOT OF THE COMPLAINT. Bellingham was a long-suffering man and a patient one.
