ment. Two other factors require even greater consideration — 1907 

 first, some means must be provided for converting the forces of 

 nature into some useful and marketable form of energy, and 

 second, when it is converted into a useful form of energy, a suffi- 

 cient demand for the power must be created to justify its develop- 

 ment upon a large and practical scale.

Electric current generated from the large power plants at 

 Niagara Falls has recently been made available at points further 

 distant from the source of supply than even were supplied before. 

 The system as already constructed reached half way 

 across New York State in the direction of its greatest length. At 

 these remote distances from the central station the power is being 

 put to many uses, perhaps the most important of which are for the 

 operation of various electric railway systems. The Erie Railroad 

 in the electrification of its Rochester division is using, as its source 

 of power, current from the lines of the Niagara, Lockport and 

 Ontario Power Company. . . . Still more remote from the 

 Falls is the city of Syracuse, and the Syracuse Rapid Transit 

 Company, which operates the street railways in that place, has 

 recently arranged to receive a large part of its current from the 

 long distance transmission lines.
