tiarcuformis is machine shop foun-
dalton.
When the turbines are turning ana
the generators are whirling and the
transformers are stepping UP an
electrical stairway, 1t is presumed
that there will be some machine shop
work to do in that largest power
house in the world turning out more
current than ever before left four
walls from turbines of larger size
than have ever been built hitherto.
Hence they are building machine
shop.
How to See Things There.
They set it at the north end of the
power house simply because it will
be- handy there-and what mystified
folks the most was the fact that the
new structure extended above the
dam for its full length. They are
building it chieflysof arches Just now
because what is in sight, high as 1t
is, is only the foundation of the thing.
And since that foundation is about
| fifty feet high 1t is made OF a series OF
superimposed arches which are both
strong and economical of concrete.
The very best place to see the pow
i r house construction now is from the
observation platforms on the bluff
edge. These give a good view OF all
parts in proper relation to one an
other. Climbing over the works in the
rotterdam is tiresome ladder work
now and even then one does not get
good view Of things-he appreciates
the plant of Yankee Doodle who
couldn't see the town because there
were SO many houses.

Probably the greatest mystery con-

crete appendix rapidly going UP at
the upper end Of the power house.
Most people think they know about
the several parts of the immense
structure, at least enough to answer
any question in some fashion but
that series of arches jotting out to-
ward the north stumps them and
causes everybody to ask what it is.

Far Up in the Air.


That the floor of the power house
Is far up in the air even after it's
base is set twenty-five feet and more
into the river bed, is indicated by
climbing up on top of it.
There stand the huge, tanklike steel
turbine tubes with the supporting
rings SO large that they had to be
cut into quarters to get them on rail
road cars for shipment. The top OF
these are of course below the floor OF
the power house.
And yet, the workmen perched on
their tops look along Third street
from just about the level of Port
Sunshine, the Diver home. The con
crete and steel has pushed upward
steadily until some Of it is now on a
level with the benches at the head OF
Franklin street where so many thous-
ands of people have sat to view the
river and known to most Of the ex-
cursionists who have come here on

The size OF the power house in the

to be appreciated by spectators who
overlook 1t from the observation plat

especially since the north end of the

level of the top of the bluff.
This northern end now reaches an.
most UP to the travelling cranes
spanning the power house site ano
almost up to the power house floor
which stands high above the rock

When the spectator on the observa

house, SO far as height Is concerned
he appreciates the immensely of the
