NIT power. 1t will be remembered that.
although the original intention at Niagara
falls was to transmit the power over fairly
long distances to industrial centers, tho
bulk OF this power is at the present time
being utilized at the falls. That which is
transmitted to a distance is comparatively
small. but as the new plants go into
operation it will, OF course, increase con-
siderably. At Victoria falls. on the other
hand, practically all of the power would
have to be transmitted some 200 miles--a
distance of transmission far greater than
any at present in existence.
In paper read before the American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers some time
since, Ralph d. Mershon took up the ques-
ton of the possible limit of long distance
transmission. and his general conclusion
was that IL would be feasible 70 transmit
100000 or 100000 kilowatts, about 500 miles
This was held to be the limiting distance
for the present outlook. and with a less
power delivery the plan will hardly be
feasible Yet the plan discussed for Vic
toria falls contemplates transmitting
power some 700 miles to a point where the
total amount in use today is only 100000
horse power. Either higher voltages than
those suggested by Mr. Mershon, ard they
were far beyond present practice, or some
plan of transmission other than the three
phase must be adopted.

Frequent references have been made Of
late to the possibility of developing the
Victoria falls on the Zambesi river and APP
plying the power thus obtained in tho

mines is approximately 100000 horse power

The cheap essences on the market are all

apple essence. Dissolve IN alcohol little

pineapple flavor, add q little sulphurio acid

you have a complete imitation OF pineapple

While he Is emphatic in his belief that

prediction along that line can be safely

artificial foods can be made and sold at a
cost much below that for which the natural
food products can be marketed.

Westcott was the first of the chain of native-born

and this is the only seat the Supreme Court bench
that, during more than score of years, has been

have been Floridians by adoption This curious cir
