WHAT NIAGARA COSTS US.
It's Expenses Put at Sf22, SOC, 900
Annually.

Annually.
II. w. Buck, an engineer wiring
for the Outlook. makes out that we
have an expensive luxury in Niagara
Falls.
The total hydraulic energy of the
Falls, says Mr.. Buck. would repre-
sent about 3.5OO,00O horse power.
TO generate one horsepower contin-
uously for year by a steam engine
requires about thirteen tons Of coal.
To generate. therefore, continu-
ously 3.5OO.O00 horsepower by
steam would require about $4,000
600 tons OF coal per year
To generate electric power by
steam with the most modern steam
plant costs not less than $50 a horse
power year, allowing for fixed
charges and operating expenses. Nj
agara power can be generated and
sold in large quantities for SIS a
horsepower year. or for $50 a
horsepower year less than is posi-
BILE from the use OF coal and the
steam engine
From the above it will be seen that
II all the hydraulic energy OF the
Falls were utilized for power pur-
poses there would result to the coun-
try an annual saving of S35 a horse
power for 100000 horsepower, or
3122.5O0,O0O. and I'm addition there
would be an annual saving in coal
consumption of 5O.OOO,OOO tons.
These figures illustrate what IL
costs the people Of this continent an
nually to maintain Niagara Falls as
a spectacle. They represent the saw
ing TO those who would consume the
power, and not the profit OF those
who might own the power develop
ments.
This waste involved In prohibiting
the development OF Niagara power
might be likened to a great conhagra-
ton i'm which 5O,OOO,0O0 tons OF
coal were annually consumed. Such
condaRration might be one Of
the most magnificent sights in the
world, and people might come from
an parts to- view &C. but the human
race would certainly be justified I'm
using every effort TO- stop the waste
by putting out the fire.

TRAINER DOWN ON MEAT.

Adopt simple bill OF fare and

Twenty-Five years ago at training
tables the men were fed what was

low state. especially the liver and
the stomach. and digestion becomes
more difficult when cod liver oil Is
administered. The thing most need
ed by the consumptive is ability TO
digest food and nourish the wasting
organs OF the body. Cod liver oil
clogs and prevents certain gases
from passing out OF the system. Con-
sequently tho gases remain, lifting
the hearts wall and causing a terri
bic depression so common TO con-
sumptives and invalids using cod
liver oil. I1asy digestion is abso-
lutely necessary TO the consumptive:
therefore, / repeat. that the open-air
treatment, the creosoto and the cod
liver oil additions should be aban-
doned and the patient treated ra-
tionally and scientifically.

German scientist. as to the bacilli
which consume lung tissue. but not
sufficiently to produce death. The
direct cause OF death in all con-
sumptive cases is either inflamma-

isy. usually brought on by improper
use Of drugs and exposure to extreme
cold, to draughts and unhealthy at
