Oh either side and an occasional

a new broad boulevard, with hotels

blocks of fats, all sprung up like
mushrooms.

POWER FROM NIAGARA.
s;x+v Per Cent. of Gross Energy
Available for Electric
Current.

ALWAYS room for one more power
nlant at Niagara The latest looks TO
the lower Niagara river. when ialis
80 feet in a length of two and a halI
miles with the whirlpool nearly at the
center of this length. This is about
half the descent of the great cataract
above and is made by the entire vol
unie of water that passes over Doth lhe
American and Horseshoe falls. Alton
d Adams calculates that the unused
mower of these rapids just above ana
below the whirlpool could develop half
as much power as could be developed
by diverting the entire flow OF Niagara
river at the falls. If the American
falls are to be saved further conces-
sions must be limited to the gorge ana
lower RAPIDS. His idea is to build pipe
lines between the upper !, and lower
points on the rapids. Niagara river
has a normal discharge of 222,00O cubic
feet of water a second, and this water
falling 80 feet develops 100000 gross
horsepower. Making due allowance
for losses in the pipe line, water
wheels tailrace and generators, 1t may
fairly be said that 60 per cent. OF the
gross energy could be delivered as cleo
tric current if the entire discharge
Of the river were utilized. This net
mower is twice as great as that or all
the electric plants now completed ana
under construction at Niagara falls.
