AIN African Niagara.

Is mone the picturesque feats of mod
ern engineering promised for the near
future is the harnessing Of the energy
of the celebrated Victoria falls of the
Zambesi, remarks the Engineering
and Mining Journal. So This noble
waterfall represents greater source
of power than even Niagara. The
total height of the latter is between
15s and l67 feet; at the Victoria falls
the drop Is between 400 and 40 feet.
At Niagara she power running to
waste is computed at 1000, 600 horse
power. while the falls Of the Zambesi
during the wet season are reckoned TO
represent IS, OO0, coo horse power. Even
during the dry season the Victoria
falls represent stupendous source OF
energy. Surveys have been made. and
on the completion of the railway, now
only seventy miles distant, further IN
vestigations will be carried out. Long
electric transmission Of power are con-
templated, and, judging from expert,
sence in other regions, it is expected
that a line 800 miles long will be put
into effect with success. This would
reach such well-known mining dis
tricts as the Wankie coal field, the
GWelo, Balawayo, Selukwe, Iona
gunda and other gold fields, besides
several copper districts which are now
attracting attention. It should un-
doubtedly hasten the industrial devel-
opment Of British South Africa. !"
