It is but natural that a work of the magnitude and novelty 

 appertaining to the utilization of the first lot of 100,000 horse- 

 power at the Falls of Niagara, should have given rise, in the 

 course of its construction, to many new methods and structures. 

 Some of these, as for example, its most noted characteristic, the 

 tunnel tail-race, lined with brick, and the special construction of 

 the portal of the tunnel ; the wheel pit slot of the Central Power 

 Station, instead of the usual single wheel-pits; the setting of the 

 wheels directly over their branch tail-race, and deepening the 

 slot to form this branch tail-race and other features of the work, 

 have already been referred to and described in this magazine.
