HGREAT ENTERPRISE
ENLARGEMENT OF THE NIAGARA
FALLS POWER STATION.

Fifty Thousand Electrical Horsepower
VIII Soon BE Available-The Great
Wheel Pit-Improvements In the sys-
tem-Great Industrial Possibilities.
Within a few months there will be
available in the central power station
Of the Niagara Falls Power company,
Mt Niagara Falls, no less than 90, 600
electrical horsepower. This is an i'm
mense amount of force, and it is impos-
sible to conceive what it would be pos
sible to accomplish by its application to
the industrial field
The additional amount of power men,
toned will be made available through
the extension Of the plant Of the Mag
ara Falls Power company, and this
work is one Of the most interesting in
the engineering line now in progress in
New York state. The present power
station has three 1000 horsepower gen.
orators in operation, making 10, 900
horsepower in all, and when the extern
sion is completed there will be total
of ten great 5000 horsepower turbines
and the same number Of generators of
the same capacity at work turning out
their invisible force to give life to the
factories and railroads for miles around

An Automatic Pay Roll.

In the making up of pay roll, as at
present done, with few exceptions, each
mans time must be multiplied by his
rate of pay per hour. Where fractions
appear, either in time or rate, q consid-
cradle amount of mental effort and time
are necessary, and a considerable chance
of error is introduced. A new invention
is intended to obviate these chances of
error and greatly economize the labor
required for computing wages The
manufacturers of the machine have cal
culated all numbers of hours, from to
800 per week, at all rates of pay, from
So to $21 per week, and arranged these
values in such way that the operator
may set the machine and read the re-
suits directly, with no mental effort or
chance Of mistake. The auditor Of a
railroad company which has given the
machine thorough trial states that one
man with the calculator can do the
work Of four men without it.-Engi-

How to
Cure Catarph.

Every sufferer from Catarrh should
know that it is impossible to cure the
disease with sprays, washes, inhala-
tions, etc., which are universally used.
In fact, the experience of growing
worse all the. while is proof that the
treatment is all wrong. Many
who have been under treatment for
years and met with disappointment in
stead of benefit are willing to doubt
that there is any cure for Catarrh.
The trouble is that all of the treat
ment they have received has been mis-
directed, and has not touched their
trouble. Catarrh is a stubborn deep
seated blood disease, and everybody
should know that to simply treat the
surface, that is, the local irritation
does not reach the disease. A blood
remedy is needed, but it must be good
one; a remedy which goes down to the
very bottom of the trouble and forces It
out. SIS. (Swift's Specific) Is the only
one which can have the slightest effect
upon Catarrh, for it is the only one which
goes to the seat of the disease, and per-
manently gets rid of it. This is the only
reasonable way to treat Catarrh.

New Paint ror machinery.

A bright work paint for machinery
in transport is said to have lately been
adopted in Germany for which many
good qualities are claimed. It's exact
composition is not stated, but grease
and volatile oils are said to enter into
it. Applied to iron it provides an air
tight skin, which adheres tightly to the
metal and is proof against salt water,
salt air, rain, snow, steam, gases and
the fumes Of acid or ammonia. 1t is alb
solutely neutral and leaves no mark
when removed. 1t is transparent and
does not crack nor rub off in handling.

Something TO Depend On.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, COwden, ILL.,, in speaking of
DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that last
winter bis wife was attacked with la grippe,
and her case grew so serious that physicians
at Cowden and Pana could do nothing for
her. 1t seemed to develop into hasty
consumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of 1t, he
took bottle home, aud to the surprise of
all she began to get better from the first
dose, and half dozen dollar bottles cured
her sound and well. DIR. Kings New

The teacher of public school in Chi
cago found that eight of her scholars
smoked from to 30 cigarettes a day.
Six only of these boys were able to do
good work in their classes. The victims
of the cigarette habit confessed that
they were suffering constantly from
headache, drowsiness and dizziness
Many declared they could not write
well because their hands trembled. "A
number were "shaky'' when they
walked and were unable to run for any
distance. They could not rouse them
selves to meet the examination test.

incandescent lamp which promises to
be an important step in advance, pro-
vided the cabled report is true. The I'LL
ament is composed Of a mineral sub
stance instead Of vegetable fiber. The
nature Of the material used in the fla
ment is said to be a secret. Mr.. Maxim
is quoted as describing the lamp as fol-
lows: 1t has life Of 1000 hours, which
is well maintained. The watts per can
die power are said to be Q $40. The
cost of new filaments is said to be about
one-tenth Of cent each.

There are fads in medicine as In every

new. But In medicine, as In nothing else,
the people demand and will be satisfied only
with positive, absolute merit. The fact
that Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood Its ground
against all competition, and its sales have
never wavered but have remained steadily
at the top, demonstrates, beyond any doubt.

WHEEL PIT OF NIAGARA FALLS POWER COM
PANY.
pit excavated nearly to it's full depth,
which is 179 feet The solidity of its
walls is well displayed, cut, as they
are, out Of solid rock. The width of the
pit averages 90 feet, but at the top this
was extended in order to provide room
for masonry walls feet wide, carried
down to rock, the width between the
walls being 81 feet.
Channeling machines were used to
cut the rock, which was then blown out
in benches by dynamite, care being tax
en- to see that so much Of the explosive
was not used as to disturb the turbines
already in place. At the far end is seen
the steplike appearance left by the re-
moval Of the rock in benches To the
left, at the top, are to be seen the huge
penstock mouthpieces fitted into the
walls of masonry and ready to be con-
nected to that part of the penstock
which leads down into the pit to the
turbines. Here and there along the
walls Of the pit project the castings ON
which the Orders of the pit will rest.
This placing Of the castings is fea-
ture new to the pit, as in the old Sec
ton the ends Of the Orders were placed
right in the walls The length Of the
pit extension is about 294 feet, making
the total length about 434 feet. At the
bottom ut is being bricked up to q
height Of about 40 feet, with wall 80
inches thick. This wall is to protect
the soft stratum of rock at the bottom
from being undermined by the action
of the water and to make the resting
place of the turbines more safe. The
old section Of the pit is likewise bricked,
and it will be recalled that the tunnel
is bricked the entire length.
DR.. Coleman Sellers, the chief en-
gineer of the Niagara Falls Power COM
pany, has suggested notable change in
the manner Of supporting the turbines
in the pit, and it will be adopted In
the old section of the pit the wheels are
supported on immense girders but the
wheel cases and lower penstock elbows
in the new pit will have projecting ribs
to support them on castings. The sup
ports of these ribs will be bricked into
the walls. In the present installation
current for exciting the fields Of the
generators is obtained from rotary trans
formers, which stand at the end Of the
switchboard structure, but with the
completion Of the new installation it is
proposed to place four small turbines
in the pit to operate like number of
exciters in the power house above. This
direct operation of the exciters will be
in the line Of an improvement which
will give an independent source of sup
ply of current for the exciters.
The power house at Niagara is big
building as it stands today, but its pro-
portions will be greatly enlarged by the
addition, which will cover the wheel
pit and afford room for the installation
of seven more 5000 horsepower gener-
ators. The same style of architecture
which has made the power house SO
much admired will be closely adhered
to, and when it is completed it will be
one Of the most impressive and impos-
ing structures at the Falls. It's entire
line of roof will be mbrolxen by single
chimney, as the power house will be
heated entirely by electricity, the same
as the old building. New York Trib.
