UTILIZING NIAGARA.
A Buffalo Project to Transmit Power
TO that City.

From tho Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.
Some months ago the Commercial de-
scribed series of experiments made i'm
this city with the view of demonstrate
ing the practicability of using the
immense water power at Niagara
Falls for transmitting power to this city
through the agency of compressed air.
As stated at the time, the experiments
were sufficiently successful to convince
several of our enterprising citizens thar
the scheme was feasible. A company
has since been formed. of which Senator
Pierce is President, considerable capital
has been paid in, and practical opera
lions have been begun.
The principal part of the machinery
will be located near the waters edge. be-
low the Falls i'm the vicinity of that de
liohtful spot called the Bridal Veil The
remainder will be on the bank imme-
diately above. The great air receptables,
three of which will be seventy feet long
by six feet i'm diameter, will be located
below the bank, near the water, while
the receiving reservoirs will be on the
bank. The cylinders will be constructed
of boiler iron, i'm the most substantial
manner. The perpendicular fall from
the feeding basin above TO the air rccep-
tacles below is pa feet. The engineers
figures show that 200000 pounds of firon
will be required, and it is estimated that
power enough will be generated 10 raise
about 100000 gallons OF water $50 feet
every minute. These results have been
obtained by scientific tests; so that there

Out of tIse Jurisdiction.

A goOa story Is told of Il Vermont eX-
judge and an eX-member of congress
The latter held court in Essex county
when IA long-standing case. in which all
especially sharp LAWYER had been ell
gagged, was heard. The Judge ruled the
law points against the lawyer in qurs-
ton, ami he lost the case. After tea the
counselor, who was staying at the same
inn in Guildhall with the Judge. APP
preached the latter and invited him TO
take drive, and the Judge accepted. A
few minutes behind a good tr0tter took
them over the line into New Hampshire.
when the attorney turned to his cOmpan-
ion and said: Judge, / presume. now
we are in NewHampshire. we are peers?"
The court assented. Well" rejoined
the lawyer, you blamed old fool, how
came you to decide that case against
me!" and expanding u part of his temper
upon the innocent animal that drew the
clrriage, he sped away from the line OF
Vermont. increasing his vituperation
with the distance from the judges juris-
GictiOn. Finally, eXharsted. he turned
his horse and drove back to Guildhall.
As the horses hoofs sounded on the
bridge. which brought the riders again
in the Green Mountain state, the now Sc
rene lawyer gracefully raised his hat and
said: Judge. we have had a very pleas
ant ride together. l am greatly obliged
for your company, and hope ut some fu-
ture occasion to hive the honor Off drive
with you again."-NctD York Post.

Gentlemen prominently connected
with this enterprise own DAYS canal.
which was constructed several wears ago
by Mr.. Day for water power purposes.
at an expense of nearly 81 .OOO.O00. This
cana! will play an important part in con
nectiOn Vita the new project. Ii is 80
feet wide by III feet deep. and leads
from APPOINT just above the rapids. mile
terminus is Il large basin. 20 feet wide
and 500 feet long and ii feet i'm depth.
| From the bason a flnme 300 feet long is
being dug to the edge of the precipice.
At the mouth Of the flume will be n
massive iron gate with an eight-foot
opening. The water from the flume will
pass into the reservoir. which will be
connect Ell with the air receptacle below
bv means of large pipes, siphon shaned
Attached 10 the cylinders will be re-
quisit number OF large automatic valves,
to let the water run out of the cylinders
after the compresse,l,air has been allowed
TO escape. The practical working of the
machinery will be, briefly. as follows:
After the wafer i'm the reservoir on Tho
top of the bank is high enough to reach
the head of the siphon, it will escape
down tile pipe to the air-oylinder below.
The pressure thus obtain Il very soon
closes the automatic valves. There be-

has its owlpfeeder) the air which it con-
tains is compressed by the volume of
water from above until it has as much
expansive power when released rs steam.
The capacity of the reservoir and Of the
cylinders is SO arranged that the reser-
voir Will be exhausted by the time the
desired compression has been obtained
below. While the reservoir is again fill
with water that i'm the cylinder is eScap-
ling. so that when the bend i'm the siphOn
is reached, the contents of the cylinder
is exhausted and it is ready for another
charge. Thus the operation is repeated
at regular intervals in each cylinder. and
there being several of them. a continuous
charge Of highly compressed air Is Sc
cured.
| There seems to be no doubt that the
air thus compressed can be conveyed by
pipes TO reasonable distance and made
| to do valuable service, at nominal eX-
penSe. In France it is conveyed fifty
miles. The loss of friction in transmit
ting it from the Falls to Buffalo is placed
at fifty horsepower on every thousand,
which is scarcely worthy of mention.
rhe projectors of this great enterprise
are confident that they Will he able to do
the pumping tor the city water.works
at fiynreS that will make the present cost
of the department appear enormous.
They are also confident that they can
make compressed air take place of steam
in manufacturing. thus doing away with
the necessity for fire or fuel. They are
aiming to do wonders. and, what is
more. the chances seem to DE strongly
i'll favor of their success.

Nature as a Plagiarfst.

Two brothers in st. Louis resemble
cath other So exactly that it is with great
difficulty they tell themselves apart.
How Others are confused is related by
the following story:
1t is "a rule i'm the Circuit Court that
but ore attorney Oh each side shall eX-
anime witnesses. In Il recent trial in
WHICH Thomas and Thomas were engag-
ed. this rule was violated bv them in ii
very dPXtr0ls manner. Stepping to one
side. as if for private consultation, they
eXchanged chairs, and no one could tell
hat it was not the same one who had
before occupied the seat. In this way
they relieved each other. while the law
year on the other side had to stop from
exhaustion.
MIR. Thomas" said Circuit Judge a
short time ago. ''are you ready to argue
that motion now ~
''What motion. your HonOr?"

''Your Honor, was not in the court
room yesterday"

with the COurt. shall have to fine you
for contempt, sir"
''YOur Honor. it was my notion" said
the other Thomas entering the room.
The Judge looked at the two ThomaseS

humOr, remarked that nature had cDm-
mitted plagiarism i'm the case of one OF
| them, he couldn't tell which.
