Industrial Niagara 



trace to its true source each one of the great number of ideas 1893 

 embodied in the complete installation, it is probable that we 

 should find nearly every civilized nation represented — England, 

 America, Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, some in greater 

 degree, some in less, but all co-operating to achieve what is, 

 beyond question, one of the most significant triumphs of nineteenth 

 century engineering skill. 



The utilization of Niagara. (Dub. rev. sci. not. April, 1893. 1893 

 112:435.) 



The advantages of the Falls as regards engineering facilities are cited. 

 Estimates are given of the volume of the Falls, and an account of the 

 Niagara Falls development, and the views of Professor Forbes are 

 exploited.

A discussion of the purpose of the power plant, the organization of the 

 power company, the difficulties of the work, the various constructions, the 

 commercial problem, and the transmission of the power generated. 



It was the first intention of the engineers to carry the electric 

 current from the water-house by means of wires stretched through 

 a subway conduit, whose beginnings may now be seen at a point 

 near the power-house. But it has been discovered that the con- 

 struction of such a conduit will be too costly, and the electricity is 

 to be transmitted by overhead wires.
