among them may be noted one that "c-
Cured in West Utica IN " resi-

and wife were aroused 10y the break
fast bell ringing in the middle of the
night. They arose and discovered that
il was two o'clock. but on hastily
dressing and going down to the dining
room they found breakfast ready and
waiting for them. They were greatly
alarmed at the condition of things, Tor
they at first imagined that the hired
girl had suddenly gone insane. After
"A few minutes, however, they dIscov-
cred she was asleep. She had got up
started the fire. prepared the morning
meal and had it ready for serving, but
was sound asleep all the time The
only unusual thing was her failure To
put on her shoes.

NIAGARA AT WORK.
The Great Falls A. a Generator of Flee
triritN.

tririty.
The first of the fivethousand horse
power dvnamos of the Niagara Power
company has been turned on and the
success of the great operation has been
satisfactorily demonstrated. The eN-
pertinent was made in the presence of
one hundred and fifty members of the
American Institute of Engineers
As certain parts of the machinery
were not vet completed, says the Phila-
drlphia Record. it was thought best
not To run the dynamo with the fun
load of five thousand horse power, but
upwards of three Thousand horse power
was developed, and it was demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all the experts
that all that has been mapped out for
this mammoth enterprise Will be full
filled To the letter.
After the test the electrical engineers
were enthusiastic over what they had
seen.
DIR. Louis Duncan. president of the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gincerS. said:
What we have seen here to-day sets
at rest any doubt that might hitherto
have existed in the mind of any man
To the success of this undertaking. Ii
i certainly the greatest feat of elec-
trical engineering in the world, and
the. test to-day i, a demonstra tion that
il will prove all that has been claimed
for it. The machinery worked mar
velously well, better than any steam
machinery In fact. there remains
nothing more To be done i'll the way of
demonstrating the complete success of
the work except transmission. 1t is
only necessary NOW to increase the
dynamoS and ;he power is ready. Mag
ara has at last been harnessed, and Is
now waiting To be hitched up"
| The question of the transmission of
the power has been thoroughly dis
! ,.usScd here. 1t iS the opinion nf all
! the engineers that the power will in
! "A short time Ice sent tO all points within
"A radius of twenty miles from the falls.
They say the question OF transmission
! has been demonstrated in other coun-
tries To be successful. 1t il the general
opinion that in brief period power viii
| Toe sent from here to all the surrounding
towns for less money than it can be
produced locally by steam.
IT Is estimated that twenty thousand
horsepower can be sent To Buffalo,
twenty miles away; twenty Thousand
volts pressure over three wires five
eighths OF an inch in diameter each.
An idea of the tremendous force may
be had when it is stated that, If prop
crlv applied, the power which passes
through these wires would snap eight
or ten of the cables used On the BROAD
way cars as it they were made uf spool
cotton. 1t - Il power equal TO that oi
forty railroad locomotives. and fore,
sufficient To turn all the wheels in tn,
city of Rochester. and when the plan:
of the company are completed, which
comprise utilization OF four hundred
Thousand horsepower on the American
and Canadian sides, it Is estimated tina
there viii be sufficient power To turn
every wheel, light every light and run
every trolley car within a radius of tw,
hundred miles of the falls in the Unite'
States.
