VA TER POWER AND MOMEN-
TOUS CHANGES.

The purposes, says writer IN me
Spectator, for which water power is
being utilized are exceedingly varied.
It is used directly as electrical energy
for lighting purposes and for chemi-
cal and metallurgical operations.
Transformed again into mechanical
energy by means of the electrical mo-
tor, it is used for working tramway
systems, for producing wood pulp for
paper making and for driving ma
chinery Of all kinds at the mines or IN
engineering and other workshops.
The significance of this new step for
ward in the application Of water pow
er to industrial purposes is startling.
On the one hand, it signifies that
man has at last learned how to effect
ually master and utilize one OF the
mightiest natural forces of the earth.
Coal is an exhaustible possession,
and the day must come when the coal
fields of the earth will be worked out.
Our rivers and falls offer, on the other
hand, an inexhaustible supply Of en-
sun evaporates the water Of the sea,
and causes it to fall again as rain up
on the hills Or as snow upon the
mountains, this source will be availa
BILE for the supply of mans wants,
and the arrival of the time when the
earth's coal fields will be exhausted
need no longer be awaited with mis-
givings. But there is another aspect
of this development which is less
cheerful for contemplation by three
of the nations of Europe. The posi-
ton which England, Germany and
Belgium occupy to- day as the lead
ing manufacturing countries of Eu-
rope has resulted chiefly from their
possession of extensive coal fields
capable of cheap development, coal
having been in the past the chief fac
tor in determining the industrial pro-
gress of any country. The progress
parently changed the conditions Of
industrial supremacy, and it appears
as though the possession, not Of coal
fields, but Of water power, will be the
determining factor in the future.
Whether the check to the natural
growth and expansion of industry in
the older manufacturing countries of
Europe, that may already be OBJ
served as one result of the increased
use of water power in countries hith
erto of little or no account in the in
dustrial struggle, will be followed by
the gradual migration of the staple
industries to the cheaper centers Of
power remains for the future to dis
close, but it is a question of tremen-
dous significance for the prosperity
of the countries concerned.
