power house at Niagara falls on its trip
to Buffalo On leaving the big gener-
ator the three phase alternating current
of 2, 200 volts passes through cables TO
the transformer house, where it is con-
nected with two "stcp mp" transformers
Of 1850 horsepower each, which raise
the current to 10, 700 volts. From the
transformers the current passes to a
switchboard, from which it starts along
the pole line toward its destination. On
arriving at Buffalo the current passes
through the "step down" transformers,
which step it down from 10, 700 volts to
$50 volts. After this $40 volt alternat-
ing current has passed through the ro-
tary conyertcis it becomes $50 volts d.
rect current and is ready to be sent out
over the electric railway lines.

Falls Power company ceases when it de-

The distribution Of the power is in the

Cataract Power and Conduit company.

leading street railway lines, opens up
almost limitless possibilities for the city

There came into vogue about that
time "nouseuse verse" so called,
bearing upon my humble self, and viva
cious enough TO be- widely quoted in the
newspapers. twas composed, | believe,
by Nls. sivret of Boston and ran as
follows:
There was q young curate Of Worcester
VINO could lavo command If he'd chose ter,
Iu be- sqii each recruit
Must Dc lllcllcr than SCOT,
Or else he'd go preach where he used ter.
As a matter Of fact it came 10 nearer
the truth than the famous definition Of
q crab by Cuyier's pupil, since l had
never been a cufatc, had already left
the pulpit for literature before the war
and was so far from STIMULATING for a
coloyed regiment that had just been
commissioned in q white one. Never
theless the hit was palpable, and | al

Beware
OF The knife.

7Ir. Lincoln Nelson, OK Marshicid, no.,
writes: "For SIX years 1--we be=-
sufferer from a scrofulous affection OF
the glands Of my neck, and ell ehorts
OF physicians in WASHINGTON, D. c.
Springfield, ILL.,, and St. Lo... failed 10
reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. Atthis critical mo-
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju-
dice against all patent medicines, ! be-
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tie the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had | only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over @I5o."
This experience is like that Of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces it out perma-
nently.
