Nowafter all things considered 1' The R0“ M"- Graham preached believe that water power is entirely 11's {gr-eye“ 391mm] “t Dornoch and The Saugeen in Durham in the summer time does not develop 40 h p per hour. that is it will not drive a 40 h p wheel for only three hours out of ten, the flow of water being too scant. Now with these facts in mind would it be aduisable for the town of Durham to try to furnish light by water power. A great deal was said at the mass meeting of the rate payers regarding power, now from my point of view steam is the best power. andgin the long run the most efficient, economical and depend- able. 26’ darn instead of a 20’ dam, so at starting we may have enough water to make the full run and still have our 20' of water in the dam when we stop. Now the reason of this is quite plain with a 61" wheel and a 20‘ head we have 260 h p as put of 101 r p m. with a 10‘ head and the same wheel we have 211 h p and 98 r p m, 18’ head and 61" wheel h p, 222 r p m 96, so you see in this case every foot of water below the 20‘ makes a decrease. in speed and also a drop of about 19‘ h p per each foot. Now there is not a river in Grey Co. that will supply 250 h p per hour without the cost of building a very large dam. No River has a flow of 7770 cubic feet of water per hr, which is about the amount required to de' velop 2230 b. p. with a Lefiel or a double turbine wheel. This power would requirea14ft head and an 5:" wheel ora 20’ head and a 61” wheel. If the flow is not equal to the demand, then there is required a very large dam, which cannot be built fora very small sum. This dam would require to be large enough to supply the wheel with water for 13 or 14 hrs at a run, and then at starting up the dam would have to bemuch more than full, that is to say if a 20' dam be used and the dam be full at starting it would be down ' consideratly at the end of the run, owing to the wheel requiring more water than the flow supplies. So 1 then we would have to have say a l At this time possibly as interesting a topic of pubiic discussion as we can think of is that of Municipal lighting for the town of Durham. For some time back the light furnished by the private company has been very much] below the standard. owing to an over- load on the Dynamo.

Many of us, when we examine the ('ondition of things as they really are can scarcely fail to regard you more as a mother than as a neighbor.

In a tomb 3,000 years old at Mycenae, Dr. Schliemann found two bodies with faces covered by masks of gold. One of the masks represented the head of a lion.

In a grave of considera- ble antiquity in Peru :1 silver mask was found on the head of a mummy.
