Niagara Falls, N. Y, Nov. 17.-At one

Falls Power company turned the switch
In the main power house Of the COM
pany connecting the monster 6,000-horse
power dynamos with the transformers In
the transformer house. which are in turn
connected directly with the Buffalo Pow
er Transmission line. and at that instant
the electric power Of Niagara was for the
first time sent out beyound the confines
Of the city and direct to Buffalo. dis
tance Of some twenty-five miles.
1t was the grand finale In the long
heralded power transmission to Buffalo,
and 1t was a success In every sense Of
the word. The transformers and line
has been previously tested by Mr.. !. r.
Edmonds Of the General Electric COM
pany, and. on being found satisfAct0y
and In perfect condition, were turned over
to Mr.. W. A. Breckenridge. the engineer
of the company. Mr.. Ranklne then
went to the main power house and threw
the switch.
The frst installment, sent out In q
block Of 1000 horse power, il for use
of the Buffalo street railway. The
transmission line u twenty-five miles
long, 1000 feet Of which are under
ground, and the cables along which
the power II conducted are 1000. 900
circular mills capacity. There are two
transformers at this end, each Of 1850
horse power, the largest in the world,
and three at the Buffalo end Of 800 and
5Ohorse power.
Reaching Buffalo, the current goes
into the ''step-down" transformer.
which reduces 1t from 1000 to 800
volts, and then to the rotary trans
former, which changes 1t into a $50
volt direct current, In which form 1t Is
ready for use on the street cars. The
lightning arrester is very curious
device, and is so arranged that IL the
wire is struck by lightning the current
is shunted OF to the ground instead Of
being allowed to pass through the
transformer. The current will be kept
on now continually. The problem OF
the loss in course of transmission OF
the twenty-five miles Is one which has
puzzled many of the leading electric
lans, but 1t il thought the appliances,
