Niagara Falls Power Company.

Scientific American: The supply
canal leaves the Niagara River about
1000 feet above the falls. 1t is 1SS feet
wide and u feet deep with cut stone
walls. From this canal water passes by
gates and penstocks to the turbines.
At present the wheel-pit is constructed
only on the western side of the canal.
This pit is q feet wide, 179 feet deep
and 80 feet long, and the turbines are
now being placed in the northern end
of it. The penstocks which supply the
turbines are y feet in diameter, and
the turbines themselves, each of which
is double, take the water at the center
and discharge outwardly. These are
five feet three inches in diameter, and
each double turbine will develop 5000
horse power. The shaft from the
turbines is of hollow steel, So inches in
diameter and three-eighths of an inch
thick. At bearings the shaft is solid
and II inches in diameter. The
turbines are so arranged that the
weight Of shafts, turbines and gear is
counterbalanced by the upward thrust
of the water so that when running the
thrust will be on the bearings at the
top. These are to run at $50 revolutions
minute. The breadth from the
surface of the water in the canal to a
point half way between the two double
turbines is 1876 feet. The tail-race is a
tunnel 1000 feet long, d feet high, IS
feet 10 inches wide, lined throughout
with brick. 1t has fall of 80! feet and
opens at the bottom of the gorge, just
below the upper suspension bridge, at
the level of the stream.

WISCONSIN WEATHER SERVICE.
By Chas. E. Linney, Director, for the Week end
ing Tuesday, Aug. 81 1884.
Bulletin No. 10.


No decided change in the weather
condition is to be noted. Hot days and
cool nights, a general deficiency of rain
fall and sunshine above the average,
are the conditions reported from all
sections. The east, central and south
eastern counties received some rain but
in most cases the rain areas were small
and not sufficient to break the drOuth,
though vegetation has revived slightly
in some localities where the rainfall was
the heaviest Pastures are generally
dead and fall feed is 50 poor that many
farmers are driven to the necessity of
cutting up corn for fodder.
Corn is making slow progress, but on
low ground small crop will be secured
even without ram, and some fields in
the southern portion of the state are
looking very we'll. Potatoes are turning
out light, being small in size and very
few in a hill, though about half an
average crop will probably be secured.
Cranberries are about failure and
many marshes have been destroyed by
fire. Forest and marsh fires continue
with increased severity, owing to the
entire absence Of rain in that portion Of
the state.
Farm work, except threshing, is at
stand still over a large portion of the
state, the ground being too dry for
pIowng. Threshers report a good
yield of small grain in all sections.
Wheat and barley being exceptionally
good in color and quality. The CORE
spondeut at Vernon, Waukesha county,
writes: ''wheat averages Is to 20 bushels
per acre; rye about the same and of
good quality. Barley 20 to So and Oats
so to go with the berry light" Fruit is
plentiful, especially grapes and apples.
Tobacco is dong we'll considering the
dry weather

BADLY BITTEN BY A DOG.

Ella Young, daughter of Mrs. Samuel
Young, was badly bitten by Chas. Lutz' S
bull dog last Saturday. 1t seems the
dog was kept in a large crate and had
several puppies. The child went into
the barn to play with the puppies. She
climbed upon the crate with her feet
protruding between the Stats. The dog
turned on her and bit both feet quite
badly before help came. We under
stand the child had been warned
several times to keep away. The pretty
little puppies attracted her in spite of
the warming. The wounds are healing
up nicely at this writing.
