World Seeks Water Power.

The lesson of the use of Niagara
Falls for generating electricity has
been put to worldwide application,
says the New York World. Through
out the world falling water, according
to a paper read before the British AS
ISOLATION by Campbell Ewinton, yields
to mans use an energy equal to 1885,
800 horse power, Of which Great Brit
ain figures for only IL ,906 horse power.

gets 1000 horse power from the falls
Of Foyers and 1t expects presently to
procure 1900 horse power from Loeb
Leven. The North Wales Electric
Power Company is about to tap Lake
Llydaw, on Snowdon, and hopes to OBJ
tain $500 horse power for every work
ing day of nine hours. Finally, the
Scotch Water Power Syndicate is peer
ing round in quest Of waters that it
can imprison at lofty levels and so
generate electric power. From Loeb
Sloy, 757 feet above Loeb Lomond, it
is going to get 5000 horse power, and
at Ardlui, higher up, it proposes to
get further energy. Even a modest
stream that drops several hundred feet
may be a source of power
