That majestic panorama Of the won

of electrical power, which will be gen
Grated BY the energy Of that grea
cataract, carried over cables to tn

know In 1901 Of the mysteriouI
! electric fluid, viii be developed an,
|, Illustrated with 9 fuIlness and 9 beaut,
that only the power Of Niagara coult
. make possible.
The street cars Of Buffalo are pro
, PEELED and its streets are lighted b.
electricity generated at Niagara Falls
and II is believed that all the indus
tries Of that city which employ seven
ty thousand mechanical and manu-
featuring hsnds, and q capital Of on
hundred million dollars, will be NOV
ed by the same subtle and mysteriouI
force.
! As ever Niagara Falls still draw
tourists, especially newly marrie'
.people. or course, IL lie interesting
but nothing to be compared with TIL
ocean.
}, The proposed exposition at Bufal.
lie attracting attention 10 this part 0
the world at this time. The enter.
prise promises to be a grand success
but the grsndest exposition ever he'll
anywhere viii be in 81. Louis.

old time health. Our health h hki
our wealth. We never appreciate d

water tin the well runs Dry"
