GREATEST OF MODERN POWER HOUSES iTJrn llluk In the Mnnnrr of "Wlr IniT lliillilliiK JiMfrKiinril for Trolley Cnrn HlPflrlo Train I.IkIiIIiik, In a brief review of the development of electrical Industries Inst year Electricity calls attention to the marked Increase in foreign trade. That the export business has grown mibatantlnlly In shown by tho fact that "tho electrical Roods shipped from the port of New York olono to Great Urltaln tor tho week ending December 10, 1900, amounted to $59,133, as against $9,325 to the aamo country for tho week ending December S3, 1S99. Further, tho total amount of elec trical goods shipped from that port to all parts of the world for tho week ending lie ceniber 10, 1900, amounted In round numbers to $200,000 as compnred with $100,000 for tho week ending December 23, 1&99. "During 1899 there were comparatively few electrical goods shipped from this coun try to Cuba and tho Philippines, whereas during J900 scarcely a week Imb passed that rmernl thousand dollars' worth has not gono out to these Islands. "In fact such a creditable record has befii Jnndo In tho export business by tho electri cal" Industry during tho first ten months of 3900 tho exports of electrical machinery during that period reaching a total vnluatlon of $4,555,015 as ngalnst a value of $2,154,610 for tho same period of 1899, whllo those of Instruments and apparatus for scientific purposes, Including telegraph, telephone nnd other electric devices, amounted In value to $3,401,305 during the ten months of 1900, as compared with n vnluo of $1,042,994 for the samo period of tho preceding year--that no opportunity should bo allowed to pnsB whlqh promises enlargement or widen ing of that business. These figures nro In teresting and Instructive as showing how rapidly our electrical export trado Is grow ing In strength and scope, but oven the enormous trade, ns shown above, Is no fair indication of what Is to come." MiiKiirn I'll I In 1'otmt House. Ono of tho thoroughly Interesting side trips to be enjoyed In connection with a visit to tho Pan-American exposition will bo I ho trip to Niagara Falls to view tho wonderful Installation In tho big power liouso of tho NUgara Kails Tower company. It Is this station that will supply tho elec tric energy to bo used on tho exposition grouuds, and nn Inspection of It will bring tho visitor In touch with the most ranrvel nu electrical power development of the present tlmo, Tho power houso propor Is o beautiful ntono building nearly 500 feet long. Tho front section Is occupied by tho company's offices, and to tho rear stretches tho one utory section known ns tho dynamo room, llencath this room there Is a great slot, over 400 feot long and 179 feet dcp, cut ont of solid rock. It Is this slot, or wheel-pit, that forms tho homo of tho ten powerful turbines that glvo power to the dynamos or generators In tho station. Theso turbines nro each of C.000 horse power capacity, and they aro connected to tho dynamos by a tubo shaft which extends up tho whrcl-plt. Tho construction Is such that tho .weight of the shaft and tho revolving parts of the dynamos practically float upon tho water that passes through tho turbine. The weight of theso parts Is many thousand pounds, all adjusted with such nicety that thorn Is but tho least posslblo friction. Tho water that supplies tho turbines Is taken from on Inlet cnnnl connected with tho upper Niagara river. This canal Is 3,450 root long, 100 feet wide at tho tall end nnd 180 feot wldo at tho entrance. Its nor mal depth of water Is 12 feet. Passing from this Inlet canal, tho water goes Into pen stocks' and Is carrlod down tho wheel-pit upon tho turbines, tho head being about 130 feet. After passing through tho turbines nnd developing power tho water Hows Into tho big tunnel tnll-raco. This tunnel Is fi,890 feet long, it reaches from tho power liouso to tho lower Nlagnra river, whore tho stream of water that Hows from It may bo seen intersecting tho river under the upper steel arch brldgo Just below Prospect park. Tho tunnel passes right under tho main part of tho city of Niagara Falls at a depth of about 200 feet. In dimensions tho tunnel Is 18 feet 10 Inches wldo and 21 feet nnd i Inch high, its form Is that of a horseshoe and from end to end It Is lined with four courses of vitrified brick in order to assurn permanency. It Is this station that will bo tho great power houso of tho I'anamorlcan exposition. It Is a magnificent spectacle to stand on tho visitors' gallery In thin power houso nnd look upon tho whirling dynumo3 as thoy mako 250 revolutions every minute. Tho nverage person finds It dlfllcult to rcnllto that theso machines aro generating a forco that Is being trnnsmlt'cd miles nnd miles nway to tho exposition grounds, thero to delight nil within tho gates by the A NEW DEI A It 1 URE. lA .Ifw, KlTrcliinl nml Convenient Cure for Ciiturrli. Of catarrh romcdleB, there Is no end, but of catarrh cures, there has always been a ureat scarcity. Thero nro mauy remedied to rellove. but very few that really cure, Tho old practico of snuffing salt water through the noso would qften relievo and tho washes, douches, powders and Inhalers in common use aro very little, If any. better than tho old fashioned salt water douche. Tho uao of Inhalers and tho application of salves, washes ond powders to tho nose nnd throat to cure cutarrh 1b no more reasonable than to rub tho back to cure kidney dis ease. Catarrh Is Just as much a blood dls ease as kidney troublo or rheumatism and it can not bo cured by local treatment any more than thoy ran be. To cure catarrh, whether In tho head, throat or stomach an Internal nntiseptlo treatment Is necessary to drtvo the catarr hal poison out of tho blood and ayHtcm, and tho now catarrh euro Is designed on this plan and tho remarkablo success of Stuart's Catnrrh Tublets is because being UBcd In ternally, It drives out catarrhal Infection through nctton upon stomach, liver and bowols. Win. Zimmerman of St. Joseph, relates nu exporlonco with catarrh which Is of value to millions of catarrh sufferers everywhere. He says, "I neglected a slight nasal cntnrrli until It gradually extended to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally oven my stomach and liver becamo affected, but as I was able to keep up nnd do n day's work 1 let It run along until my henrlng began to fnll mo and then I realized that I must get rid of catarrh or loso my position as I was a clerk and my hearing was absolutely necessary. "Samo of my friends recommended an inhaler, another u catarrh salvo but they wore no good In my ease, nor was anything else until I heard of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets and bought a packago at my drug store. They benefitted mo from tho start and In less than four months I was completely cured of cntarrh although I had suffered nearly ull my life from It. N "They are pleasant to tako and so much moro convenient to use thnn other catarrh remedies that I feel I ran not sny enough In favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tabids." A little book on cause and euro of catarrh will bo mailed free by addressing K. A. Ftuart Co., Mnrsball, Mich., and the tablets nro sold by all druggists In the United States and Canada. wondrous effects created when used In any of Its posslblo forms. How wonderful It will be to look upon tho highest electric light on tho top of the electric tower nnd stop to consider that the forco that gives It Its remarkablo brilliancy Is developed by means of turbines located deep down In tho big wheel-pit In Niagara falls! The electric tower will bo 391 feet high. Tho wheel pit where tho turbines aro Is 179 feet deep. Tho distanco between tho two Is over twenty miles. nirotrlc I.lKlitlMK lllnh. With electric lighting, tho overheating of Ignltablo material Is the one danger to be apprehended. Such heating may result from various cuusc3. The amount of heat generated by the transmission of electrical energy depends, In general terras, upon the resistance encountered In the conducting medium, tho quantity of current flowing nnd the rapidity of heat radiation, says a writer In CassIcr'B Magazine. For this reason a poorly constructed Joint In wlro lnid in wooden molding tuny, by Interposing a high resistance, develop a local heat sufficient to char tho woodwork, which eventually bursts Intb flame; or, n circuit designed for tho BUpply of sixteen candle-power Inmps, may bo called upon to carry the samo number of Inmps of thirty-two candle-power, thus doubling tho flow of current and causing nn Increased heating effect throughout tho en tiro length of wlro; or n wire, designed for carrying u certain current when strung on Insulators nnd exposed to tho nrr, may bo placed In wooden molding, at the whim of tho tennnt, who cannot understand why n larger wire Is required for tho latter method becaupo ho does not stop to con sider tho decrease In tho rnte of hent radi ation which results ftom tho change. So, also, tho presence of weak or dofcctlvo In sulation may causo a series of Infinitesimal leaks from wlro to wire, which, added to gether, assume finite proportions and may result In adding to a circuit n burden en tirely Ignored In calculations of wlro sizes. To guard ngainst the ovorhcatlng tho In sertion of n "fuse" In tho lino Is usually re Bortcd to. This 1b a strip of metal of such material nnd cross-section as to insure Its melting ond thus opening tho circuit upon the parsago of n current sufficient to barely overheat tho wire. Tho fuse, however, Is no protection against tho heat developed at bad Joints or at points where leakage from ono wlro to nuothcr (or to some other con ducting medlflm) Is localized. It prevents an excessive How merely, not a How along unauthorized paths or over Improper ob structions. And yet heavy copper or Iron wlro Is not infrequently used to replace these fuses, thus defeating tho object of tho device; and, Indeed, cases aro on record whero the brass-capped fuso plugs were filled solid with lead, In order, us tho engi neer expressed It, "to do away with tho only weak part of tho Hystem." When n fuso "blows" It lnvurlably scat ters molten metal, which may communicnto n dangerous degree of heat to tho material upon which It falls, and yet very many peo ple fall to understand why tho Inspector requires that tho fusing npplianco Bhall be Inclosed In a non-combustlblo case. Tho only protection against poor Joints lies In tho prevention of them. The best protection against local leakage consists In the adoption of n good Insulating covering for tho wires and of such a method of con struction as would permit of tho operation of the circuits without leakagolf tho wires were entirely uncovered, In which caso tho Insulation becomes nn efficient factor of safety. l.lnlitnlinr-Arrcxtcr for Trolley f'nra. A new kind of lightning-arrester has been attracting attention In Europe. It is do- slgncd for tho purposo of preventing acci dents occurring on trolloy cars from sud den discharges of atmospheric electricity In districts crossed by extonslvo networks. of electric wire, n common form of accident resulting In Injury to tho Instruments and sometimes loss of lite. The Intent of tho new system Is to prevent tho Hash from reaching nny part of nn electric system, or, If this should tako place, to Insuro that the current Is Invariably deflected ho thot no hnrm can result. Tho system has been Introduced in a number of cars of tho Iler-lin-Charlottenhurg Klectrlc rnllwny In Ger many, and so-called "horn-arresters" aro attached to tho upper part of the car In tho samo way ns tho trolley. A number of theso Instruments havo also been placed ot certain intervals along tho line, tlxed on the top of tho ornamental Iron posts that carry tho conducting wlro of tho railway. Tho first cars on which tho system was tried worked so well that tho lightning arresters have been generally adopted, in Homo instances tho "horn arresters" havo been applied In the form of a second trol ley, nnd In others they havo been Instnlled on tho roof of tho car la connection with tho trolley Itself. l'.lcetrle Train MulitliiK. At tho recent International railway con gress in Paris, reports the Boston Trans cript, two Interesting reports wero isub mittcd on train lighting, embodying a res u mo of tho various methods ot lighting railway carriages which havo obtained on tho continent and In tho United Kingdom from tho early days of tho railways to the latest Improvement and tho perfection ot tho present methods. Ono of theso reiKirrs, mado by M. Chaperon, chief of a division on tho Pnrls, Lyons & Mediterranean railway, nnd M. ilerard, assistant chief of transpor tation of the Orleans railway, embraced all tho continental countries oxcopt' Austria Hungary, lloumanta, Tho Netherlands, Lux embourg nnd Clermany.l Tho principal In terest in tho report nttuches naturally to gas and electric lighting, tho two great nys tcms which aro now competing for public favor. "With oil lighting tho expenso of Installation Is comparatively low, but It re quires a numerous staff for cleaning, filling nnd maintaining the lamps. It Is requisite that this work should bo carefully done, as tho quality of the light and tho economy of tho system depend absolutely on tho manner In which It Is done. Finally, tho quality of oil, wlckB, etc., havo first importance. All theso necessary conditions rcqulro that good oil or petroleum lighting should bring tho cost per lamp hour to quite a high figure. In gas lighting tho cost of installation for tho manufacture and supply of the gaB Is quite, considerable. Tho expenso for labor Is reduced to tho minimum, tho service of tho staff bolng limited to wlp iug tho cups nnd chimneys of tho lamps, tho examination of tho burners and supply ing tho reservoirs or tanks of the carriage Tho advantages of tho system aro princi pally In tho quality of tho light, tho fa cility of modifying the intensity as well as tho simplicity of tho labor In mnln tonnnco and cleaning, and In tho celerity of filling tho supply tanks. Tho lighting power of the gas may bo still improved by mixing it with highly curburcttcd pro'ducts. Sev eral of theso have been mado use of; among others, nophthnllne (albo-curbon), which has not given very good results. Acetylene mixed with gas In, tho proportion of 25 to 35 per cent gives tho flamo a very considerable Intensity nnd fixity." Coming, at onco to tho question of lighting by electricity, tho report says: "Electric lighting Is, without contradiction, thnt which Is presented un der tho most attrnctlvo form. Incandes cent electric lamps havo In fact nn Incon testable superiority over all tho other methods of lighting, as much from the point of view of comfort as that of facility of In stallation of luminous centers, which may bo aB Intense, as desired and which can be placed at tho most convenient points for the passengers, They produce no, or next to no, heat, and there Is no occasion to pro vldo for tho products of combustion being carried outside. Tho electric lighting of tho carriages produced by means of n dy namo driven by the nxle during the run of the train realizes In principle a complete and rational system of lighting." This re port concludes with n query for discussion ,aa to whether tho equipment provided to assure constancy of tension will be likely to deteriorate in service, Bnd whether Its maintenance will be expensive. Also, whether regular Inspections ot the ports will tend to causo too great a degree of immobility ot the rolling stock, f IN THE WHEELING WORLD. J The approaching assembly of tho League of American Wheelmen excites consldern bio Interest among tho stnndbys of tho or ganization. Michigan rooters appear very confident ot capturing tho presidency, which Conwny W. Saras puts off. Thero Is said to be such rivalry between tho lcadjng eastern candidates that II. S. Karlc of De troit stands u first-class chanco of winning out. What action will be taken In regard to the revision ot the constitution of the leaguo remains to be seen. This Is a matter of prime lniportnnco nnd must bo handled with gloves. A committee boa already held a meeting for this purpose. According to meager accounts obtainable, the meeting wus a lively one. A minority1 report was made, but never published. Neither was tho draft of the revised constitution which tho majority favored. Each stdo la appar ently holding back Its report so that the opposition cannot gain nn advnntagc by being forewarned ot Its character before the day cf tho assembly. National Secretary Ilai.sctt, with tho Massachusetts state divi sion back of him, Is In possession of tho approved revision, and John II. Uhlo of the New York stato division has the minority report. Tho latter will publish tho minority report Just as soon as Ilassett sends htm a copy of tho constitution as revised by tho national secretary. There aro many who bcllevo that tho Leaguo of American Wheelmen will never survive the assembly, although in tho last month tho nffalrs ot tho organization hnvc taken on a brighter hue. The membership, however, is an indefinable quantity because tho secretary has wisely stopped publishing membership figures. It Is not so long. ago thnt tho league had over 100,000 members; today It Is fortunate If It has nue-qunrter thnt number. Thtce It Is losing steadily. Tho organization has n salaried secretary, with n corps of clerks. It gives Its presi dent $3,600 a yenr, on paper, It 1b Bald, for the leaguo has paid out little In salary In the past years. At the national cycle show recently hold In New York City ono of the principal topics of conversation wns the prominence given to cycling Interests by tho Panamcrlcan exposition. Tho wheelmen wero enthusiastic on tho subject of tho exposition and ex pressed their firm oonvlctlon that a very largo attendance of the cycling public is assured. Among tho muny prominent mem bers of tho League of American Wheelmen In nttendanco at tho ,show there was a strong sentiment In favor ot holding tho leaguo meet In nuffalo in August. If the opinions of theso members, from widely separated parts of tho country, bo taken as a criterion, there will bo a practically unanimous vote In favor of Buffalo for the annual summer gathering. A. L. Mattack, tho bicycle policeman ot Camden, N. J., appears this year as tho na tional long-dlstnnco record-holder on tho road. Ito rodo from July 7 to September 4, day and night, over tho plko from Camden to Atlantic City and In the sixty days com pleted 10,491 miles, ot which 8,900 were centuries ridden under tho Century Itoad club rules. This gave him the tnllengo and tho century record for sixty dayB and It has Just been allowed by tho road records com tnltteo of the Century Iload club. Matlock also won the mileage nnd the century record for thirty doys. by his riding from October 1 to October 30. His thirty-day record Is fifty-one centuries and his mileage for that tlmo 5,678 inlles. Ily theso perform ances ho becamo also tho holder of tho year's century record, with 261 to his credit. Tho nntlonal, mileage record for 1900 goes to W. L. Stannard of Springfield, Mass. He covered 3S,8$7 miles and It was done In the course of his business, without any scorch ing or agonizing "continuous centuries." A Now York dealer In bicycle sundries, who hoB roturned from a trip through tho west, says that at Fargo ho saw hundreds of men and women clad In furs riding through tho streets when there was two Inches of snow on tho ground nnd tho tem pernturo near tho zero mark. Tho wheel men there are all enthusiasts, ho bays, and nearly every ono rides tho year around. Tho cycling Influcnco Is so strong that It prevented a railroad corporation from lay ing trncks in a street that was n popular wheeling route. From tho samo man was obtained tho opinion that tho Interest In cycling Is now stronger In tho west than in tho east. Flying starts for motor-paced blcyclo races will bo Introduced this coming season to prevent (hat struln which Invariably comes to tho pace follower In going away from a standing start. Races with slnglo motor paco will also bo Introduced, as being fairer to the first-class men. On tho Blnglo motor tho pacemaker Is farther away from tho pace-follower and that sort of pacing Is considered to glvo tho first-class pace followers a better showing for tholr money. Recommendations of this character will be mado to tho board of control when It meets next month, In addition to thoso recom mendations regarding the width of tho body of tho motor, suggested as nlno Inches, the extreme width of the handlo bars twenty two Inches, and a provision that both riders on a motor must pedal. On tho slnglo tho rider does not pedal at any time, nor Is thero possible provision that be shall do so. A marked example of tho fickleness ot public tasto and fancy Is afforded by tho falling off of the homo demand for bicycles, dosplto their groat reduction In prlco. That thero remain other markets to bo exploited by tho American wheel, however, Is shown In a plcturcsquo report from Consul Gen eral King, at Bangkok, as follows: "Tho first consignment of safety bicycles was brought to Bangkok by Dr. P. T. Carrington, an American dentist, In 1896. Previous to that tlmo ono or two of these wheels bad boen Imported for prtvato use. Thero aro now In this city between 2,500 and 3,000 bicycles. They aro to bo seen In nil ports ot tho city and aro used by all classes, Tho king of Slam rides an American bicycle of tho latest nnd most Improved model and It Is by no means an uncommon thing to sco tho ministers of tho government com ing and going to tholr dutlos and even to public functions on their wheels. "The minister of tho Interior has syste matically encournged the use of the wheel, believing that Its employment will lead to bettor roads In the city and In tho country towns. Ho Is tho head of a largo bicycle olub that numbers upward of 400 members. Among tho members nro many of tho princes and government officials, and, In tho fnvorablo seasons ot tho year, this club In dulges In long runs to the remote parts of tho city. Theso runs nro generally hold during tho cooler portion of tho night and wind up In a banquet well toward the morning." "I have used Foley's Honey and Tar cough mcdlclno and think it Is the best In the world." says Chas. Bender, a news dealer of Erie, Pa Nothing else as good.

Among these to go aro W. D. Townscnd, Frank Pnrmeli'c, Dan Ilraw of Syracuse and Dick Llnderman of Lincoln. Others who will attend If pos slblo nro Tom nnd Dick Kimball nnd Jim Smcad. With theso men at tho na.Tonal event there is no reason why Omaha should not get some of the money hung up on the ovents. Will Townscnd Is getting ready to spring n Bttrprlso on sorno of tho eastern shots, and, If ho gets his former handicap of twenty seven yards, ho will, In tho opinion of his friends, como In for some of tho big money. Mr. Townsend Is practicing on a new load, tho proportions of which aro kept secret at present and may not bo revealed until after tho New York meeting. To persons In terested ho displayed a target Friday which shows that If he has not perfected his load ho Is not far from It. A thirty-Inch target, placed thirty yards from Uie gun, showed tho marks of 446 No. 8 shot, nnd within tho thirty Inches tho shot wero so evenly dis tributed that a humming bird would hove had a hard tlmo to escape. A target contest Is scheduled for North Bend. Neb., February 14 and 15, at which no money Is to bo ndded. February 19 nnd 20 n contest will bo held at St. Edward, the main event on each day being a fifteen llvo-blrd shoot, $10 added. Dovotccs of tho gun and rod In Nebraska nro at present wntchlng tho legislature nnd houses which havo in former years dono a heavy business in tho way of supplying guns and ammunition to tho men who hunt tho fields nnd waters of tho state hnvo practically suspended their usual February business until the fate of the bill relating to tho preservation of game In tho state Is settled. Ono Omaha house reports orders for Bovcral thousand loaded shells, which havo been placed on file until It Is de termined that there will bo spring shooting. Tho sportsmen themselves nro somewhat divided on tho Btibjcct of spring shooting. All of them agree that If tho practico can bo suppressed In nil of tho states through which tho birds pass this stato should enact n law making spring shooting n mis demeanor. Tho mujorlty say that until tho states will unlto on tho subject such a law would work a hardship on Nebraska Bportsmcn. Other persons equally Interested say that this state should lead tho way and thnt other states will follow. These hunters say with a degreo of truth that many of the birds which visit this Btato rnlso their broods hero and that every femalo bird killed In tho spring means a flock lost to the fall hunters. Tho Omaha Gun club has gone on record ns favoring spring shooting at present and In all probability tho bill as amended will become a law. As originally drafted the ponding law pro vldcd that It would be unlawful to catch any sort of game or fish in tho waters of tho stato except under the provisions of the net. Another section provided an open season for trout not less than eight Inches long, but for no other fish. Under tho common rules of construction the mention ing of ono vn'rloty of fish excluded all others and- had tho law been enacted without amendment it would havo boen unlawful to havo caught bass, catfish or. any other variety save trout at any tlmo of tho year. Another peculiar thing about this phase of tho law was tho action of ono of tho mem bers of tho Omaha Gun club, an enthusiastic fisherman, who drafted an amendment to tho law providing that it would be lawful to catch any of tho fish mentioned In the net between April 1 nnd Novcmbor 1. Tho umendment wan endorsed by tho other members of tho committee, but when tho matter was discussed It developed' that tho man who offered tho amendment did It In order to stop the practico of Ice-flshtng and had not noticed that tho bill aB It stood beforo amendment suppressed fish ing of all kinds except for trout. Hero Is ono of tho dialogues In the com mltteo of tho Omaha Gun club discussing tho law in reference to the preservation of game: Henry Homan This part specifying tha fish which Is to be caught In pounds Is absurd. How is a man to tell when he has caught all the law allows? Ho would havo to carry a pair of scales. Sandy Grlswold Oh, not bo bad as that, I guess. Homan Yes, ho would, for he will have to stop when ho catches twenty pounds, and how can ho tell when ho gets that amount? Grlswold Lot hlra use the scales that como with the Ash. Homan That's all right, but suppose he is catching catfish? "Speaking of hard luck." naM n r tho members of the Omaha Gun club who went witn tno team to Kansas City last month, "I never saw anything llko that of W. D. Townsend nnd Frank Tlnlrrt Tk.. two fellows arc out money because of their ability to kill birds, and never again, unless they aro permitted to stand with their backs to tho trap, will they take chances on missing a bird at which they shoot.
