BUFFALO. June u--At no previous
exposition has electricity played such
important parts as at the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition 1t is the very life Of
the BIZ show, not only by night, but
also by day At night the presence of
the transmitted energy Of Niagara is
made manifest in the beautiful illumi-
nation which has won for the Pan
American the name Of the City Of
Light
This name is weII-deserved. for it is
not only reflective of the hope of hui
mainly. but it also defines the nature
of the briiliancy that is winning such
unstfnted praise from every person who
sees it
But in the daytime. when there is no
need of the electric current for the illu-
mination Of the grounds and buildings
during the period when Old Sol reisns
supreme, electricity is everywhere pres
ent about the buildings and grounds,
and it is doing its part to make the
exposition a truly grand success
The fish in the fisheries exhibit are
supplied with water by motor that IS
electrically operated. Part of the way
up the Electric Tower there is d restau-
rant, and an electric pump furnishes
! the water for use there. In the Ma
/ chinery building there is a ten horse
! power motor operatively connected to a
/ Deane steam pump known as four
/ inch by eight-inch triplex singIe-acting
/ pump, delivering forty gallons per min
/ ute against $50 pounds pressure
/ There are other motors at work about
/ the grounds and the current that oper-
/ ates them comes from Niagara Falls.
! There is work by day as well as by
night for the energy OF Niagara, and
. thus it is demonstrated that the power
! supply of Niagara is ever constant
There is no eight. ten. or twelve hour
! shift with the force of this wonderful
river, but hour after hour, day after
/ day week after week month after
month. and year after year, as Unceas-
/ ing as has been the flow Of the current
} OF the river, this modern power Of Nj
aEaTa Is always on tap Centuries viii
