" The subject of this article is perhaps the most hackneyed in the entire 

 range of periodical literature; indeed, it would be difficult to find a com- 

 mercial development in any branch of industry which has been more 

 exhaustively described. In what follows therefore, no attempt will be 

 made to give the usual journalistic descriptions, but instead a brief and 

 concise review will be presented of the present situation at Niagara with 

 respect to electrical development, with particular reference to the newest 

 applications and to details of operation."
