THE RECENT FLOOD At NIAGARA

FLOATING ice has often accumulated in the
Gorge below Niagara Falls and checked the
flow Of the water there. The recent jam, how
eyer seems TO have been unusual, if not IN
nrecadented At the climax. which was reached
several days ago the food rose forty feet above
the normal level of the river. As dispatches to
The Tribune last week indicated, the resulting
mischief included damage TO the trolley road
which runs along the gorge on the American
side and the invasion of electric power
station on the Canadian side. Concerning the
last mentioned effect of the jam, THE Elec-
trical World" supplies several interesting par
ticulars.
When the water entered the windows on the
south side of the station of the Ontario Power
Company complete stoppage of the work of
generating electricity by hydraulic means be
came necessary. Imperfect provision for serY
ing its patrons in Central and Western NeE'

previously been made. The plants of an allied

seeing that the output might be Inadequate TO
meet all demands, the Ontario Power Company
announced that railways and lighting companies
would be served in preference to manufact-
urers and private users of current. Though the
Inconvenience TO the company's customers was
recognized in the circular as serious" the
hope was expressed that the interruption might
not be of long continuance. If nothing more
than pumping out the water and cleaning fhe
deluged machinery should be required, resun,p-
