for the changing of the weight of the wa
ter into pressure of air were, however,
no matter how well the apparatus had
been built. 50 clumsy and wasteful that
he work could never have been perform
ed with economy, and the inventor was
obliged to give up his scheme after he
had used up all his money and a goOdly
amount of funds Furnished by his friends.
Some eight or ten years later another
inventor essayed to use the waters of the
Genesee for the compression of air. His
operations were conducted on u much
larger scale. and his plant was located at
the clover falls" where there is n head
Of 96 feet. This mans name was Boies.
He built two standpipes, six or eight
feet in diameter each. to take the water
from the top Of the falls. At the foot Of
the standpipes he placed two huge tubes
Of iron, made like boilers, each $50 feet
long and Q feet in diameter. The work
Of installing this plant occupied some
months, and the cost altogether was MS
ing Of $3.50, 900.
His plan, which worked beautifully in
q small model, was to let the water
through the standpipes alternately into
the two huge boilerlike ''compressors,'
az he termed them. OF course each OF
these vessels would be full of air before
the water entered, and as it rushed in
the air would become compressed to a
very high pressure, as Boies expected.
Skeptics, however, figured that there
vvps1lH ho n rrocor~o of ~,,1x, 60 x>D,,~lu
to the square inch, or the weight of a
column Of water of an inch in diameter
SO feet high. When the compressor was
filled with compressed air and water, a
valve would open and allow the air to
escape through properly arranged pipes
to o receiving tank, and another valve
would allow the water to run away.
While one compressor was emptying the
other would fill, and SO on.
shall never forget the first test of the
completed apparatus. The vast com
pressors leaped like living things under
the enormous pressure of the water and
the air, and there were noises as they
filed like the shrieking of myriads OF
sturdy lunged demons. The automatic
valves performed their duty. and the com,
pressed air began to fill the tank. Boies
who had devoted years of toll and thought
and all the money he could by any pos
slble means gather together. was wild
with delight. But. alas. in practice onl,
about Wpounds pressure could be main
tanned, and that was not enough. TIE
sanguine inventor had built his castle:
literally in compressed air. and they al
vanished. for repeated experiments anC
additional devices all failed Of making
his invention valuable.

falls. The works at Niagara are now
about completed. and the promoters hope
to very shortly prove to the world that
the enterprise on which such vast sums
have been expended is quite a practical
one.
The first turbines running rapidly I'M
der great pressure for the purpose of
generating electricity at the lower falls
at Rochester We're put in for III electric
light company early in the eighties.
They were so successful as to attract the
attention of Mr.. Thomas Evershed, then
connected with the state administration
of the affairs of the Erie canal. Mr..
Evershed made careful investigation Of
the results obtained at Rochester and
formed a company to put i'll the wheels
at Niagara. He dropped ont of the CON-
pany some years ago.
Leonard Henkle. an inventor now al
most forgotten, agitated the idea of the
electrical transmission of Niagara's DOW
er some years before Mr.. Evershed took
it up. Henkle worked hard over his
plans. but could not succeed in Undue
ing capitalists to invest. for when men
of money investigated the matter they
became convinced that the visible supply
Of copper was not large enough to fur
nish the great cables that would be nee
essary for the transmission of the heavy
powers available at Niagara even 80 short
a distance az to Buffalo, let alone to New
York, as Henkle proposed. This con-
viction vas probably correct in the con
. dition of applied electrical science of -
or 20 years ago.
There are those even now who shake
their heads owe the question Of long
transmission of heavy powers. but the
present hackers of the Niagara enter
prise believe that the problem will be
solved by the time they are ready to be-
gin transmission. Tesla. the Young
MOntenegrin electrician who has chosen
America for his field, smiled when |
spoke Of the matter to him the other
day and declared that he had already
solved the problem. He has found ont,
he says. how to insulate copper wire SC
that it will carry a current of 10000
volts, and electrical engineers hold that
if that is so there is no longer a problem
to solve.
When i'll 1873 the city authorities at
Rochester put in turbines to work the
pumps Of the Holly system of water.
works, they had to remove from the site
chosen for the pumphouse the remains
Of q machine that had been erected some
years before by All ingenious and en-,
thusiastic inventor, who proposed tC
utilize the power Of the Genesee for the
compression Of air. The contrivance on
which he based his hopes was built on
the walking beam plan. A huge oscil,
lating beam was supported at the center
by heavy uprights. At each end Of the
beam was II bucket. To these buckets
water from the river was conveyed al.
ternately. As one bucket filled, the cor,

of wood resembling IL combination Of
shanty and tower, stood AS a monument
to his broken hopes for some years. but
were finally sold for a few hundred dol
lars.

ent development of swift moving tur-
bines came about in Rochester. The

at Niagara. is divided into FIVE available
heads Of IS, "a. IA, 80 and 96 feet. Each
of these but the me Of IA feet il utilized.
and there are nearly 100 turbines in all.
80 being under the head Of "a feet and
IL under that Of 96. With the water at
a medium stage the river now furnishes
$4,000 horsepower 10 hours a 4 Y at
about half the cost of steam.
This holds good for nine mrn:' : III the
year, and if the plan for St ;ng the

gorge be carried out the steady available
power will probably be- doubled. As it
is now. the entire current of the stream
is used during several months in the
year, and there are times when the water
is insufficient to keep the wheels turn
ing; hence power users who must be able
to run every day are obliged to install ell
gines rs we'll as wheels. This trouble
can never come at Niagara. wher" the
current is much larger than at Roches-
ter. In fact, the use Of the amount of
water to be taken at the big cataract
will make no noticeable difference in
the appearance Of the falls.
Some idea of the power of water as
used in swift moving turbine wheels
may be gained by the reader when it il
