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

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

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

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.

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

"Well, thcro you havo It! Four watts

answers to a normal discharge period ot
thrco hours nnd a half; but you may dis

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?" I asked.
"Oh, I'm not going to make any applica

and after his burial n week ngo tho dog
was missing. No knowledgo of his where
ahouta was gained until a visit to the cem

"As for mo," says M. Flammarlon, speaking-
of tho Inhabitants of Mars in Tho Na
tional Magazine, "I rather envy them. A
world whero It Is nlways beautiful, whoro
thcro nro neither tempests nor cyclonos,
where tho years aro twice as long ns ours,

And In nnother placo ho goes further,
pointing out that If tho Martians wished

A well known woman of an eastern city

"I never knew such Impertinence." Then
she sat down nnd wrote th following;
"Dear Sir: I have ordered no rug from
your establishment and I sco no reason
why I should go to tho expense ot return
ing that which I do not wnnt, nnd which
was sent to mo unsolicited." To this sho
received the following answer In duo tlmo:
"Dear Madam: I will send for the unso
