GREATEST POWER HOUSE IN THE WORtD Projcelfil Imliintrinl City nt .Miimmi-iiii, , .. V. Ii-tiillrl UcKcrlplliui of Tom KiIInoii' Xew Slor iKe llattery. Aa a sourro of power supply to tho Van American exposition so much is- heard ot Niagara as to cstnbllsh a gcncrnl lmpres-t Eton thnt It is tho most powerful sourco of electric current In tho world. This Is not so, Niagara Is outdono In this respect by tho St. Lawrence, that vast funnel which conveys tho waters ot tho Oreat Lakes to tho sea a river which from ItB hend at tho Thousund Islands Hows with such force thnt It forms a continuous water fall for fully 175 miles. Trtie, It Is not a so largo that when under construction nt tho works of the Westlnghouse company in l'lttsburg.threo gymnastic workmen stood upou each other's shoulders nud the lop mon was just ablo to touch tho Insldo of tho upper rim with his hands. Each rim is three feet In width nnd In tho construc tion millions of feet of wlro wero required. In setting up tho generators In tho powcr houso tho great wheels wero nrranged in n sort of tandem fashion, ono following the other. To plnco them in position a mam moth traveling crano operated by electric-' lty was pluced In position, trolling along nn overhead railroad. This crano can lift clghty-llvo tons at ono tlmo. It hold tho parls of the generators whilo they wero be ing fastened together. Tho shafts revolve in -steel bearings so largo that n man of medium sizo can crawl through tho boring made to receive the shaft's end. Each gen erator Is "coupled," as It Is termed, di rectly to n set of turbino wheels, which furnish tho water power to revolve It. This means that tho shaft turning tho turbines Is continued on through the hub of tho gen erator, and thus no belt Is required. In fact, it Is doubtful if any combination of leather or rubber could bo mado which DOUINO OF ONK OF THK GKNEIIATOKS. sheer descent llko Niagara, but a gradual Incline which really represents fnr moro force than tho enormous power of Lake Klro's outlet. Near tho Uttlo town of Massonn, In tho far northeastern corner of Now York stnte, 1,000 men havo been at work for several years past constructing what engineers say is tho largest power canal In tho world. It is praetlrully completed and a portion of tho St. Lnwrcncn now (lows through it to tho Ornejo river. Though only nbout thrco miles In length, tho canal Is 150 feet wldo and of sufficient depth to provide what experts say Is sixty feet head vertical de scent of tho water at tho powerhouse. This powerhouse, which Is 700 foot In length and constructed of stone, will con tain machinery which will nctually gen rrnto more electrto current than Niagara when It Is completely installed. Tltiintu .Machinery limtnlletl. FIftepn sets of turbine water wheels, each containing six wheels, uro sot In what might be called tho basement of tho power sta tion. Tho sets nr separated Into threo pairs and turn upon horizontal shafts. Bnch set of wheels Is connected with nn electrical generator, which, will develop power equal to tho strength of 6,000 horses. Although It Ib claimed that the Niagara generators ore ot tho samo caliber, electricians state thnt tho St. Lawrence apparatus represents from 100 to 200 mora horso-powor per set of turbines. An idea enn bo gained of tho plin ot tho generators when it Is stated that cuch weighs 175 tons. Tho rim or "Held" Is safely would rcvolvo these enormous discs nt tho speed required, Mnij- to Control. Although when all tho apparatus Is In stalled tho power houso will generate cur rent equal to 100,000-horso power, such Is tho simplicity of Its control that but ono mnn Is required to start and stop tho ma chinery. In the contcr of tho building, on n raised platform, Is what Is known ns tho controlling station, to which nro at tached u number of mnrhlo slabs with keys, such as nro ordinarily used by n telegraph operator. Kach key connects with a scries of air valves and pistons, working what aro called switch stands, ono to each generator. A chemical battery furnishes nn electric current to move tho air valves and pistons. Thoy convey tho necessary forco to opor ato tho switches, which break or restoro the electrlo current, which In turn starts tho turbines. This forco Is generated from a sot of throe smaller turbines, coupled to gencratore, which nro called "exciters," and are merely used to stop and start the main plant, llko tho steam cylinder which moves tho starting wheql on tho englno ot nn ocenn steamship, Tho switches aro so close together on tho controlling stand that tho operator ran sit iu a chair and reach ono with his rtugor. Merely on tho pres suro of n key tho 5,000-horso power it con trols ceases to work. Another pressuro and In a moment It Is again producing current. Ordinarily n great powor-produclng plant Is located in some center ot industry where power U lu demauj for many purposes. Therefore, It seems on first consideration, strungo thnt tho greatest electric plant In tho world should bo located In a llttlo town far from nny considerable center of population. Hut tho company which has established tho plant bolleves that n great city will grow up around It, Industrial projocts being drawn thither by tho cheap ness of tho power. While it Is expected that tho plant will light tho city of Ot tawa, Ont., eighty miles dlstnnt, and oper ate its street railway system, tho power will be principally used for manufacturing, and already several companies havo mado arrangements to build In tho vicinity. Ono will manufacture nlumlnum, which depends upon cheap electric power for Its produc tion at a low cost. Tho St. Lawrence Power company which constructed tho cnnnl nnd station has spent $0,000,000 on it. It is really an International company, as both London nnd Now York pcoplo aro stockholders. KiIIhoii'm S torn tte Ituttt-ry. Julian Hawthorne describes In tho Phila delphia North American tho new storago battery constructed by Thomas Edison, coupled with tho inventor's explanation and expectations. Ho writes: There was an oblong tin can on tho ta ble, resembling a small oil can, nbout nine Inches high by six wide. Edison Indicated this, and then ho took up an oblong framo of stool, flat, half nn Inch thick, about tho sizo of a small magazine or pamphlet. It had two knobs sticking out of tho upper ends. Its Bides woro paneled, so to sny, with four and twenty oblong excrescences, each of them two and n half Inches In length by half an Inch broad, disposed In rows ono above tho other. Theso panols appeared In both sides of tho frnmo, and bo tween them was n thin sheet of hard rub ber, perforated. Edison, In describing tho contrivnnco, used the slrailo of n window, tho panes ot ghtBO bplng thicker than tho sashes and frnmo that hold them. Theso panes, or panels, as you plense, wore each of them tho cssenco or nucleus of tho In vention, the rest being but tho appliances to bring them Into nctlon. Their Rurfnces aro covprcd with n minute rectangular grill, too Bmall to bo distin guished by tho naked eye; tho tiny aper tures nro punched through tho stoel by a machine, In order that tho olcctrolyto may bo nblo to net upon tho metals within. For each of theso llttlo cakes or "briquettes," 'as thoy aro called, contain beneath tho thin perforated steol shell a slip or ono of two substances, In alternation; first, for tho ncgatlvo pole, or positive element, Iron; second, for tho posltlvo pole, or ncgatlvo element, a sicroxldo of nlckol, with tho formula No 02. In other words, It Is nickel Iron "cell." The electrolyte Is potash, an aqueous so lution of a certain quantity, which with stands a tompornturo of 20 degrees below zero. I could glvo many moro scientific de tails, for EdlBon was kind enough to en trust mo with his memoranda on tho sub ject, but I presume the reader will not look In a dally newspapor for technical Informa tion ot that kind, and besides I nm froo to confess I do not myself understand tho formulae. "It's tho simplest thing In tho world," Edison feUd. Now in order to got n practical result theso steel frames containing tho ranged cclln aro put Into tho tin oil can, nnd tho potash added nnd thcro you are. Ono of theso cans will enable a bicycle to run Beventy-flvo miles without recharging. "Wo don't sny seventy-flvo mllos, except between ourselves," Edison remarked. "Wo coll It forty-five for commercial purposes." llotv I'.iMinoiuy la Itoiu'liml. Then ho went on to enlargo upon tho Invention; ho was roost anxious to mako mo comprehend It, and taxed bis In genuity to put tho story In words that might bear somo meaning to my unln structcd vacancy. "If you tako ono ot tho old lead cell affairs," said he, "you find it weighs ftom about twcnty-llvo to clghty flvo pounds per horso power hour nt Us terminals; or If you apply tho energy stored up nnd avallablo at terminals In lifting work only, tho battery could lift its own weight through a vertical height of from two to threo miles, nut you take this battery of mine, nnd It gives energy nt Its terminals enough to ralso Its own weight nbout seven miles." I nodded my head sagaciously. "I sec; double tho power." "What I wonted to do, you sec," said manufacture It, and they can apply It nny wny they wnnt to. Wo'ro putting up a new factory over there (his thumb behind his shoulder), and I expect wo'll bo ready to be gin delivering them In about six months." Tills manufacturing company is capital ized, I believe, at $1,000,000. ll)AI.T FHATUIIBS OF UVK.

Edison, "wns to make a cell that wouldn't detorlnrato by work, nnd would havo, per unit of Its mass, plenty of storngo capacity. It must bo capablo of being charged and discharged quickly, it mustn't bo expensive and It must bo ablo to stand careless usago. "Well, thcro you havo It! Four watts per pound Is tho normal discharging power ruto per unit mass of total ceil, and that answers to a normal discharge period ot thrco hours nnd a half; but you may dis charge It, if you like, In a slnglo hour. corresponding to n discharging power-rate of twolvo watts per pound. Then, tho rates of charging and discharging arc tho same, and if you triple tho rato of charg ing It docs tho cell no harm boyond lower ing tho electrical cftlclcney." "Now, Just what happons when you charge and discharge?" Edison had hecomo very animated, nnd ho Illustrated his exposition with quick mo Hons of his hands, "That charging current carries oxygen against tho forco of chemical affinity, from tho Iron over to tho nickel, and tho energy Is stored In tho reduced Iron. Ilut on account of tho potash uolii tlon tho Iron rcmnlns passive. When you dlschargo, tho cunent goes by tho outsldo way from tho positive to tho negntlvo polo, nnd on through tho solution to tho super oxide plato tho ncgatlvo ono. Tho oxygen meanwbllo Is moving back against the cur rent to oxldizo the spongy Iron, and reduces the nickel superoxide. What would ordi narily bo heat becomes clectrlcnl energy. "Charging, you sec, pulls tho oxygen awny from tho Iron and puts It over, for a time, to tho nickel, ranking a stnblo condi tion until tho circuit of tho cell Is com pleted. Then, with tho discharge, back goes tho oxygen from the nlckol to tho Iron with tho natural otnnlty of oxygon and iron. You may dlschargo down to zero without hurting tho cell, and the electrolyte doosn't attack or dlssolvo any ot tlio material In tho cells." "What Is the first application of If that you will make?"
