Another great step in the utilize= tion of Niagara power is announced by Electrical World and Engineer, of hew York. On the American side of the Falls the Niagara Falls Power Company has lung ha.d in operation eleven dy- namos, each driven with its own turbine, and developing 5,000 horse- power. • A wheel -pit- parallel with the first one was reeently completed, and within the fast year ordere.were given for eleven more water -wheels and generators. When they- are in- stalled the company will be able to supply 110,009 horse -power in. the ;form of electricity. Operations are now to be undertaken on the Cana- dian side. • Eke:trice], World and Engineer says that contracts have just 'been placed with the. General Electeic Coznpany, for the construction of three ten thousand horse -power gen-- craters, for the new plant whoee ul- • timate capacity, it is estimated, will probably- reach 200,000 horse -power. The n.egotiation.s, have been conducted through the Canadian Niagara Power .Company • which had the original charter for the enterprise, but whose rights have been acquired by the Am - oilcan company. These dynamos will be situated like those of the Niagara Falls Power Company at the level. of the surface of the earth, while the turbines will be in a wheel -pit directly underneath. Vertical shafts over one hundred feet long will connect the water- wheels with the generators. It is assorted that these dynamos will be the largest. ever built. The closest approach to theiti is made by these being installed in the power' house of the Manhaetan Elevated Railway Company, of New York. TRY IT YOURSELF.

Electric waves cannot be seen, but electricians have learned how to in- cite them, to a certain extent low to control them, and have devised cun- ning instruments which register their presence. "Electrical waves have long been harnessed by the use of wires for sending communecations ; in • other words, we have had wire telegraphy.

Marconi inforined Mr. Baker that he would be able td build and equip stations on. both sides of the Atlan- tic for less than $150,000, the sub- sequent charge for maintenance • be- ing very small. A cable across • the Atlantic • costs between $8,000,000 and $4,000,000, and it is a constant source of expenditure for repairs. It is estimated that about $400,000,000 Id invested in cable systems en var- ious parts of the vsorlcl. If Marconi succeeds as he hopes. to succeed, much of the vast network of wires at the bottom of • the world's oceans represented by this ievestment, will lose • its usefulness.. It is now the inventor's purpose to push the work of installation between the contin- ents as rapidly as eossible, and no one need be surprised if the year 1902 sees ha system in practicee commercial operation. -Along with this trans-Atlantic work he intends to extend his system of 'transmission between ships at sea and ports on land, with a view to enabling the shore stations to maintain constant coiranunication with vessels .all the way across the Atlantic.

When. Marconi's die- coVeries were first announced in 1896 there existed no method of tuning, though the inventor had its necessity clearly in mind. Accordingly the public inquired, "Row are you go- ing to keep your messages secret ? Supposing a warship wishes to corn- municate with. another of the fleet, what is to prevent the enenay from reading your message ? How are private business dispatches to be secured against publicity e" Here, indeed, was a problem. Without se- crecy no system of wireless tele- graphy could ever reach great com- mercial importance, or compete with the present cable comma enication. Mr. Baker tells how this difficulty was overcome. "The reflector system being, of course, impracticable for long -dis- tend() work, Mr. Marconi experiment- ed with tuning. He so constructed a receiver •thEtt it responds only to a certain tranemieter. That is, if the transmitter is radiating only 800,- 000 vibrations a second the corres- pending receiver will take only 800,000 yibraiecnis.
