The Future of Electricity Supply

Inc Future OF Electricity supply
Il is safe to assume that the most eco
nouIicaI system of electrical supply for
some years to come will consist Of the
present, recently developed. multfphase
generating station, connected to substa-
tons in which viii be located the trans
forming apparatus as the connecting links
to the distributing system already in use.
The practical man of today, whether
engineer CT fnancier, in reviewing the
progress OF the past few years, cannot
help but wonder a limit has been reached
in the ultimate size Of tits generating
plant As it is already practical to consol-
idate various systems and supply them
from enc generating station. would il not
also be possible to combine, in turn, these
large generating plants when they are
located in the same territory, so that all
energy can be distributed from one. cen
trail point? II seems almost improbable
that this development should ever occur.
when we consider the size OF the plants
now being erected in London, New York,
CT Chicago, and yet the carrying out Of
such proposition is by no means an IN
possibility or even an improbabiIity.
The question as to the ultimate size
OF the main generating station, and The
number OF substations that can be oper-
ated for it. is limited only by the deveI-
opuaent OF details in the design and opera
ton Of generating machinery. It is true,
the efficiency Of electrical equipments OF
the present day has reached a very high
figure; but the fact that the steam plant
rarely exceeds heat efficiency OF 70
per cent points out some of the possibiIi-
ties of the future There was q time in
the history of generating stations when
fuel amounted to rarely more than Is per
cent Of the total operating expenses. As
the size of the generating units has in
creased and the station machinery has
become simpIihed, the percentage OF Ia
Dor in operation has been reduced to
very large extent; in fact. almost to the
limit OF reliability OF service.
Fuel. on the other hand. has formed,
and viii continue to form. an cver-in-
cre2sing percentage Of The total station
expenses, and the problem will. sooner
or later. resolve itself into that Of trans
mission OF energy by electrical conductors
VS. railway This may mean another
change in the location OF the main gen
Grating plant, and the present large sta
ton may itself, in turn, become a sub
tation, or be abandoned altogether When
several Of the present station which sup
ply substations shall give way TO one
large generating plant OF mny hundred
thousand horsepower capacity. located in
close proximity to the coal fields, then,
and not till then. may We even look for
cessation in present muIJphase progress.

Of the cataract instantly lighted the thou

Lately Niagara has also turned cook

London county proper, created in 1888
from parts OF MiddIesex, Surrey. and
Kent. and having an area OF nearly rs. 600
acres. The total population of London,
in this meaning, is 4, 536. 81 In 1901 the
population was just I.090, geo 1855, 3I0}; it
has therefore Increased during the century
nearly fye-foId. but since 1851 decline in
the rate has been in steady progress. One
Of the most potent causes influencing this
decrease in the rate Of growth OF popu-
lation within the county area is the mi
grafton OF Londoners to the suburban
districts During the last ten years the
loss by migration is calculated as ex-
eeeding 1S0,00o. This centrifugal disper-
sion Of town population is. however,
shared by all great, old, and prosperous
cities.
In al ecclesiastical way, London county
is Of four dioceses OF parts. The diocese

bury, rep. esented exclusively by Lambeth
palace, returned but thirty-seyen persons.
TIE population OF some OF the civil par
ishes in the county was in some cases
similarly diminutive. In the city parish
Of St John the Evangelist, for instance.
only two persons were enumerated.
Against this ridiculous total may be set
the figures OF IsIington, having popu-
Iation OF S34, 991, or Of Lambeth. with

The number of families in the metrop-
oils IS returned at just over one million

more than Il persons to family

currence has stirred up once more
the residents of South Washington to
the effort to secure the abatement Of

the miasmatic exhalations ascending
from its depths arc fruitful source
of various diseases for the people Iiv-
