besides scores of others, drawn from
the ranks OF those who have contrib
uted most freely to modern electrical
science. are all working earnestly and
tremendously together to make the
coming show OF electrical appliances,
to be held in New York next month,
the most extraordinary scientific exhi-
bition on record. Success will un-
doubtedly crown their efforts. and the
fact that this will largely be due to the
circumstance that there are now more
wonderful things to show than ever
before should not detract one whit
from the praise to be awarded for the
thoroughness of plan and detail and
the keen appreciation of the effective
that have been evinced in every step
taken since the enterprise was first Sc
riously considered.
In the matter of expense the coming
show Will greatly exceed all its prede-
cessors. 1t will cost $4,000 to install
the various machines and apparatus
exhibited and the total value of the ex-
hibits will not be far from a half mil
tai cost of the show, then, will be near
ly 100000. including the rent of the
building.
Officially, the show will be known as
THE National Electrical Exposition"
1t will begin on May 4 and close on
May 81. 1t win be held under the aus
pices of, and in connection with the
nineteenth convention of the National
Electrical Light association in the New
York Industrial building. which covers
an entire block at Lexington avenue
and Forty-fourth street. T. Comerford
Martin, DIR. Park Benjamin and Ed

stantly busy perfecting and executing
their plans. Hardly day has passed.

NIAGARA'S ROAR TO BE HEARD
IN NEW YORK.
A feature that will appeal with ire
sistible force to those who love the
marvels of modern scientific achieve
ment will be the working model of the
great electric power plant at Niagara
A miniature power house containing
little dynomos, built to the exact
scale of the monster originals, will be
shown In section-that Is IL will be cut
In half, so that the spectators may see
an exact reproduction of the contriv-
ances wherewith the mighty waterfall
has been harnessed to the work of
man. Sections of the great wheel pits
and the tunnel through which the
waste water is conveyed to the river
below the falls will also be shown and |
the whole will be in operation all the |
time so long as the exhibition is open. /
During an hour or two each evening |
the wheels and dynomos will be re- |
volved by means of power transmitted |
directly from Niagara itself.
still further-and this will perhaps /
be considered the most wonderful feat
ure OF the entire exposition-arrange-
ments will be made for the telephone
transmission of the actual roar made
by the constant falling OF thousands of |
tons Of water at Niagara, so that the
solemn booming OF the distant cataract
can be clearly heard by those in at
