The experiment wa.s made in Austria, Tin- plant, consists of a central station operated ill eormeetiou with a planing mill, located ne.ir Hie center of the From the- central station two power of a total length of about, six miles are operated. One of these furnishes current for a grist mill, a farm and a dairy. The Other circuit supplies two separate farms.

At the grist mill, which is ordinarily run by water power, the motor i.s used only at such time of the year when the water H'uver is unavailable. At the dairy there is a 10 horse-power motor running- a pump and different smaller appliances. At each of the farms is a horse-power motor mounted on a movable truck- and built over to protect it against the weather. This motor is moved from one part of the farm or field to another, wherever power is required for running threshing machines, pumps, straw-cutters, 1895.1 FXER the brilliancy and quaintnessof tho Russian capitals, Berlin seems dull and trlste at first; but owing 1 to the kind hospitality shown us our visit was, on the pleasant and interesting-. During- our stay we were presented in private audience to the old Empress Augnsta, who received us most (graciously.

She talked of Eng-land, saying-what a beautiful country it was, and she seemed wonderfully well posted in British polities. Before we left she guve us each a bouquet of violets from a vase at her S'doasa little souvenir. The presentation took place in the afternoon. The mistress of the robes ushered us into the royal presence. I remember that the empress was dressed as if for an afternoon drive, and that her bonnet was conspicuously orna- mcnted with diamonds; but she rarely went out, it being- merely a custom of hers to receive in this costume.

She- looked very fra.il, and remarkably dignified, and struck one as havinsr been in years pone by very food looking-.

This was not to be wondered at, considering- that he was nearly ninety years of Empress Augusta received the priests seated in an ante-room, and she sent for us, among- others, and expressed a hope that we were ing-ourselves.

I We had a very pleasant dejeuner i with the crown prince and princess, who, with their daughters, seemed anxious to do all in their power to set us at our ease. Our hostess told us I much that was interesting about her The Drink Arizona Indians Got many philanthropic works in Germany, from the Giant Cactus, and expressed a hope that we would go to the new English church, in which she took a warm interest, good deal of conversation We had a with the crown prince, and he showed us some fine old French furniture which he had bought at Tours during the Franco- German war. One very beautiful room ha'd been copied from a room at Versailles, which he had much admired when quartered there during the siege of Paris. After luncheon they showed us through all their private rooms, and he was anxious that we should see over the cprincess' studio, which we were naturally anxious to do, but she strongly remonstrated, saying that her pictures were not worth seeing. Nevertheless, we were glad that her hus- band prevailed, for the paintings were remarkable, considering how little time she could have had for such work.

She never rose, she told us, later than half-past six in the morning, even in the winter. There was something quite delightful about the devotion uf husband and wife towards one another, and the great pride he took- in his wife's accomplishments. A slight al, lusion was made lo our host being troubled with his tin-oat and voice, and of his contemplating trying some waters. I Tow little wu thought then that this was to be the beginning of that terrible illness bravely and patiently!

The crown likeness to Queen Victoria struck me on this occasion more forcibly than ever. She had that same wonderful grace and dignity of manner and the pleasant smile which always seems to appear at the.right moment. The prince looked very handsome and imposing ir. his white uniform, and his appearance certainly well entitled him'to the name of Frederick the Noble.

On the arrival of the guests at the first of these all waited in an anteroom until the lord chamberlain came and directed everyone to the concert hall, at the door of which they were received by the empress, the old emperor standing a little way behind her.

His majesty was most gracious, talking in French to us, nnd asking us all about our visit, nnd what we thought of Berlin. In spite of his age he seemed then fairly well and in good spirits. After we had all entered there was a short pause, and then the crown prince and princess arrived with Princess Vie- toria. Her imperial highness courte- i seyed to her mother-in-law, kissing her band, and then advanced toward the emperor to do the same, but he stepped for.va.rd, quickly seized both her hands and received her by kissing her warmly and affectionately on both cheeks. The incident was indeed a pretty one to witness.

The concert room was arranged with numbers of little tables covered with seats being placed round each, and every guest being directed where to sit. Field'Marshal Von Moltke was on the right of empress, and most imposing he looked, with -that wonderful smooth immovable face.

It has then attained the desired intoxicating power, and word passes from mouth to mouth and from village to village. As soon as the welcome news arrived all of the men hastened to the tizwin dren, who are never allowed to join in the revelry, manage to get their fun out of the affair by climbing to the low roofs of the wickiups and viewing the drunken revels of their lords and masters.
