The Wingham Times, 1894-05-25, Page 34 BEAUTIFUL OTTAWA, "A FAIR CITY WITH ITS CRQWN. QF TOWERS." The most rietitrosque capital in the Worlti-.-Somethirug About the chandler° ratio—The strand view inane. rex-mulleins hill—Dent,inion Parliament pailalings, It niay have been merely a pardonable pride of patriotism that made our Cana- dian poet, Archibald Lampman, deolare that the varied beauty, of the natural surroundings of the Canadian capital, where his home is, brings to mind the lovely environment in which Florence is set, that jewel of Italian cities. A little exaggeration is of course only to be ex- pected from a poet, and is surely par- donable, AS. being due to the pride of over -fondness for his home. The plain truth, however, is that Ottawa is most beautifully situated, and any ordinary, average,, every -day man, who is not a poet at all, will, when he visits Ottawa, speak many words in praise of the scen- ery round about what the Marquis of Lorne called "that fair city with its crown of towers." Ottawa, with a population of More than 45,000, has been growing rapidly of late years, and its people, whose proud - 'est boast used to be that it is '•' themost picturesque capital in the'world," are now 15reclicting that inth5' future it will be a great mann, j acti.iring and railway centre, The great water -power afforded • by the COhdiere and the Rideau Falls have 10 since made Ottawa the chief l ,tin'lier-milling centre in the Demi ion. The Chaudiere Falls—so named the first of the early Jesuit missi i,aries whee as they voyaged up the, ttawa River in' their canoes from thgt. Law- rence,came in sight of theibud of mist above the chti,udiere, ,(LCauldron" or "kettle"—resembling hi' shape the rim of a huge cauldron over which the waters of the P:veii3Ottawa, the third greatest river inATolume in all Canada, pour into thesceething Chaudiere, which is here se ,+between the provinces of On- tario and Quebec. In the immense lum- ber ?]rrills at the Chaudiere, about 200,- . 00� ;'000 feet of lumber are sawn 'every slimmer. During the busy season, the mills, in which thousands of men are employed, work at night, and are light- ed by electric light. The other waterfall at Ottawa is the Rideau Fall, about half a anile from the Chaudiere, where the waters of the Ri- • deau River leap into the Ottawa. The Rideau Fall, which is 60 feet in height, is divided by Green -Island. It is a sing- ularly beautiful fall, and takes its name from its resemblance to a curtain—ri- dean, Government 1-Iouse, the vice- regal residence of the Governors Gen- eral of Canada, takes its name of Rideau Hall from this waterfall, from which it is only a stone's throw distant. Across the Ottawa River, opposite Rideau Hall, is the mouth of the Gatineau River, along which, before its junction with the Ottawa many are most picturesque , brawling rapids. The finest, widest view in Ottawa is f,` that obtained from Parliament Hill,—a steep, bold promontory rising 100 feet from the River Ottawa, its sides thickly wooded • with evergreen. its summit crowned with the national buildings and their "crown of towers." From Parlia- ment Hill you -look across the river, over miles and miles of country, to the blue Laurentian mountains- along the far northern horizon rim, and in what- ever direction your gaze falls over this vast panorama, it falls somewhere, if the season be summer, upon the shining curve of a river. The .Parliament buildings are built of.a sal cream -colored sandstone' from the vicin• • ity of Ottawa. The dressings. stairs, small gables and pinnacles are of Ohio freestone, and pleasing variety is given by the relieving arches of red Potsdam sandstone over the door and window openings. ' Tho roofs are of Vermont slate of dark color, variegated by light green bands. In the central building, which is 475 feet long, aro the House of Commons and the Senate chambers. A massive clock tower 225 feet high rises from the centre of the building. From its summit every night when the House ie in session a powerful electric light shines forth. which is visible from all i parts of Ottawa. This idea has been 1 borrowed from London, where a light is always shown from the great tower of the Parliament buildings at Westmin- ster, when the House is in session at Back of the main building, and con- nese.. WE.I.DI„ESS STEEL. CHAINS 'Uoscriptlou of the Method by Which Links Are Gut From a, 131ar, By M. Rongier's method, as practiced at the works of the latent Weldless Chain Company at Aston, Birming- ham, the chain is made from a steal bar of cruciform section, and of the great- est length obtainable: This bar' ie. put through a series of machines, in each of which pieces are punched out, so that after five operations the links are per- fectly formed, bat are still connected together at the point where the inner side of the bow of one link crosses that of the other. In fact, the bar repre- sents a rigid chain, but on being passed through another machine it comes.out as a roughly -formed but perfect chain with separated links, The chain then, undergoes three more operations, in which it is rectified, rounded, and fin- ished ready for use. The process is a cold one, so that there is no deteriora- tion of the metal by heating, the only heat applied being near the end of man- ufacture. when the chain is annealed in an overt for a short time. Owing to the limited length of the bars, the chain has ,to be made in sections, and eventu- ally coupled up by special links, which are made stronger than the chain itself, The chains, which are suitable for gen- eral use, are produced, in various sizes, from S- inch down to 3-32 inch. Some of the 1 inch chains .inacle from steel hav- ing a tensile strength of 24 tons per square inch were tested at Lloyd's prov- ing house, and broke at 11 tons 19 cwt. 1qr; Orb•, being 163 per cent. over the Admiralty test. In addition to the greater strength' of weldless stayed steel chains over welded iron chains, they possess several other advantages. • Be- ing produced by machinery, all the links in each section of the chain are exactly similar, -Greatly reduced weight for equal length and strength of chain is also a point of importance to users as well as to shippers.—English Mechanic.
