the ELECTRIC CENTER,
Conducted on the Most Modern
and Scientific Principles. One
Of the Points Of Interest on
the Niagara Frontier.

In this age Of wonderful discoveries
and equally wonderful applications Of
those discoveries, the eyes Of the world
are directed to the Niagara frontier.
Here is the great center Of operations
in electrical science. Here the first
attempt was made to apply to man 8
use the knowledge of one of nature IS
properties and powers, knowledge
that was wrested from nature by the
brilliant minds = and the studious
thought of the worlds leading scien-
fists. The development Of electric
power at Niagara Falls is now some
thing of an old story, and yet it is a
story which is seemingly to have no
end. .-~. I-s ...r -
It is now perhaps fifteen years since
operations were first begun by cor
poration to develop on a large scale
electric power for commercial use at
Niagara Falls. The initial effort was
to produce $4,000 =. horsepower. By
the time that was successfully done it
was found necessary to double the ca
pacity Of the first plant. This plant is
located on the American side Of the
falls. On the Canadian side there. are
now underway the erection of three
separate plants which will develop
something like 100000 horsepower.
This product Is being used and will be
used in various ways. Great industries
have been established at the falls as the
result of this wonderful power, indus.
tries-some of them-that were IN
known to man before it was possible to
obtain electric power in practically I'M
limited quantities and at reasonable
prices. Furthermore, this power is now
transmitted successfully long distances
and the city of Buffalo uses it in many
ways. It runs it's street cars, it lights
| it's streets, it runs thousands Of its
manufacturing plants. The day Is
coming when it will do more. Tesla
who made possible the transmission OF
electric power under high voltage fol
long distances, has made still further
discoveries in this line, and he now
promises that ere long he will be able
to send practically unlimited power
from Niagara to almost any part Of the
world for whatever use is desired. HI
is now talking about 100000 plant
at Niagara for this purpose.
