ELECTRIC POWER IN THE. ALPS,
Enough in the Waterfalls to Run All
- : Railroads in Switzerland. ~,

"A Swiss engineer, who has been max:
ing careful investigation of the subject,
with view more to the future than the
present, says that enough electric power
could be developed from the >waterfaIs
Of the Alps to run all the railways OF
Switzerland. He estimates that about
$4,000: horse power could be produced
he has examined, whereas only 6o.0oe
horse power would be needed for the
railways. At present there would be
little or no reduction of cost, but as
Switzerland has to import all the coal
she uses the chances are that electricity
will, after a while, take the place of
steam as a motive power.
