a scarcity of water or any unusual condi-
tions, surplus power can be readily
transferred from the steam plants to any
point required, it being the intention to
equip both the Bar Harbor and Veazie
plants with specially made transformers.
The Ellsworth plant as at present in
stalled will devlop 1900 kilowatts in two
units OF 1000 and 500 X. W., and this will
be equivalent to about 2,200 horse power.
Place has already been provided in the
forebay for an enlargement OF 1000 kill
owatts, and by an extension to the power
house and addition of another generator
and water wheel, the power available can
be increased to about 5000 horse power.
The distinctive features of the Ellsworth
development, and which make it notably

above with bun pressed brick. The roof
ID Of re-enforced concrete four inches
thick, surmounted by asphalt roofing
which is absolutely waterproof and COW
cred with Spanish tile. The power house
has been constructed by Otto Nelson, Q
Bangor contractor, and in the manufac-
ture of concrete blocks Mr.. Nelson
used the machinery Of the Maine Concrete
Co.
There are two turbine water wheels, one
OF LOO horse power and one of $50 horse
power, the wheel case Of the latter being
OF sufficient size so that an additional $50
horse power may be added when required.
The water wheels are from the s. Morgan
Smith Co., OF York, Pa. There is q Niles
crane, Of fifteen tons capacity. The
switchboard is OF light blue Vermont
marble, and is seventeen feet four inches
long and seven feet six inches high. The
electric equipment is from the General
Electric Co., and includes two generators
OF the revolving field type, one of 900
K. W. and the other 500 X. w. This cur
rent will be generated at $500 volts, and
the amount needed for the light and pow
er circuits at Ellsworth will be trans
mitted over the local feeder at this vol
tage. For transmission to greater dis
tences the current will be raised in bank
Of three 500 K. w. single phase transform
ers to line voltage Of 5000. The hand
some marble switchboard in the power
house has ten panels, with swinging
bracket on the end.
The magnitude OF the extensive develop
ments Of the Bar Harbor & Union River
Power Co. can be realized when it is
stated expenditures made by this company,
including the pole transmission lines to be
completed early in 1908, approximate half
million OF dollars. In the construction of
the dam, forebay and power house about
5000 barrels of cement have been used.
In rock excavation for the forebay, power
house and other developments, $1,000 cubic
yards have been removed. The general
formation at the site Of the dam and power
plant is granitic interlaid with dolorite,
and it is the hardest kind of rock, as may
be judged from the fact that at times
eighteen to twenty drill points have been
broken before drilling was under way.
ELECTRICITY FOR POWER PURPOSES.
Electricity will be generated for light
ing in Ellsworth and vicinity, and very
large amount of electric power will be
available for manufacturing purposes at
Ellsworth. A pole line will be erected
during 1908, twenty-five miles, to Bar
Harbor, and light and power will be fur
nished there Work commenced during
the fall on pole line twenty five miles to
Veszie, and this will be completed during
1908.
The company now has a steam plant Of
1000 horse power at Bar Harbor, and the
Bangor Railway & Electric Co. has an
auxiliary steam plant Of 1000 horse power
as we'll as water plant at Veazie, and
when all OF these plants are connected, if
there is q break-dow due to anchor ice or

tant less than quarter OF a mile from the
crete structure is visible from the bridge
on which Main street crosses Union river.
The projected lake that will be created by
the new dam will be nearly two miles in
length, and in places three-fourths OF
mile wide, with a depth varying from
twenty to sixty feet.
To understand the transformation
surface of tine lake will be on level with
the top OF the fourth dam, while the other
two dams will be completely submerged.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DAM.
Work commenced on the site OF the dam
on February l, 1907. Shanties were erected,
Golfer dams commenced, and the locality
became the center Of much activity. A
steadily increasing number OF workmen
was employed, and by June the crew
numbered 23O, and this was about the av-
erage up to December. The unusual con-
dition was presented of big ledge in the
middle of the river just where the dam
was to be constructed, and this was OF
material assistance in facilitating the pro-
gress OF the work.
The contractors have been the Ambur-
sen Hydraulic Construction Co., with
headquarters at 176 Federal street, Boston,
the company being represented by J. A.
Kellogg as superintendent OF construction
with w. j. Kellogg as assistant. The
former was called to Wyoming in Novem-
ber to attend important work there, and
the Ellsworth developments have been
carried to successful completion under the
superintendence OF w. J. Kellogg.
The laying Of concrete commenced June
9, and work has been prosecuted with
great vigor and under the most favorable
of auspices. The mild weather through
out the fall and early winter was helpful,
and the great structure is now completed.
The dam is OF concrete, the spillYAy being
sixty-five feet high, and thei eibulkhead
seventy-one feet in height, while the
length over all is $50 feet. 1t is an apron
dam of concrete-steel construction, and
is the first OF its kind to be erected IN
Maine, although another ON smaller

dimensions of the bay are SOx150 feet,
and this is Of concrete construction with
the exception OF the southerly end, which
is heavily timbered horse dam, built wit h
view OF an enlargement Of the forebay in
the future. From the forebay two steel
penstocks eight feet in diameter will carry
the water to the power house, and there
is smaller penstock for the EXETER.
The power house, which is at right
angles to the dam, is 50x70 feet, with a
height from the floor to the apex of the
ceiling Of about fifty feet. 1t is OF very

ready owned by the company, it having
been used for some time by the electric

ment called for the erection at the lower

HOW LIGHT AFFECTS PLANTS.

Camille Flammarion, the eminent
lished in Paris the results of the re-
markable experiments that he has
been conducting for the past two
years to discover the effect OF various
lights on the growth of vegetation.
He has a number of plants which he
subjected to red. green. blue and
white light-the conditions otherwise
being similar-and the results were
most astonishing.
NJ. Flammarion exhibited to friends
lettuce stock which was as hard as
cane. This had been grown under
the influence of red light The leaves,
however. of this stock had lost all
their quality and were inedible.
Under the effect of red light cer-
tain vegetables, such as lettuce, grew
fifteen times as fast as under blue
light. On the other hand, blue light
has remarkable preservative powers.
An oak tree planted two years ago
has kept its first leaves. which are
now as fresh and vigorous as when
they first appeared. In the same way.
ripe fruit can be kept fresh under a
blue screen for twenty days without
decay. The strawberry plant can be
retarded for similar period and then
be allowed to fructify. The expert
ments are expected to have a wide
application in market gardening.
The discussion has brought to light
a curious story from Lyons, where
many people are employed in the
cinematograph works. 1t is declared
that workers who are developing
films under a red light for a long
time become nervous and irritable.
One day the women workers were SO
overwrought that they attacked the
men. and a great row was stopped
only when the light was changed.
