blast Of wind would drive back the

into this horrid inferno. The crater
itself Is three miles in circumference.
The inner side Of the rim was varie-
gated with colors Of red, orange and
yellow from the sulphur fumes. A Mil
ton or Dante could not do justice ia
the terrific grandeur Of the scene. Ac-
cording to the ancient Greeks and

HARVESTING A CANAL.

| Thirty Thousand Horse Power 90 he
Generated By Chicago waterway.
| Plans for putting in harness" the
immense water power of the Chicago
sanitary canal at Its termination in
Lockport and Joliet are perfected by
the engineering department Of the
drainage board and have received the
approval Of the boards engineering
committee, says a Chicago dispatch.
The plans involve an expenditure Of
t2,7O0.OOO
In developing the water power Of the
sanitary canal the board OF drainage
trustees is carrying out policy that
has been contemplated since the incep-
tion OF the great engineering scheme
designed to give Chicago an adequate
supply Of pure water. II is a sequel to
the successful construction work on
the great drainage channel now con
Meeting Lake Michigan with the Mis-
sisslppi river and the gulf Of Mexico.
An extension OF the present channel
for a mile and one-eighth south Of the
controlling dam at Lockport is neces-
sary for the utilization OF the plan.
For the extension channel a great
excavation two miles long and 40 feet
wide will have TO be made through
hard rock. Midway in this two mile
cut an artificial waterfall will be con
structed. Here the mammoth hydraulic
and electric machinery will catch the
rushing waters as they fall. II is in
this fall that the power 20 be utilized

Weight and momentum OF the fall
Ing waters are the factors that make
