A NECESSARY PROVISION .
(The current monthly letter of the
!Canadian 'Bank- of !Commerce, in
dealing with the subject of power
supplies and requirements at the pre-
sent time, confirms strikingly the
conclusions reached by Do. F. A.
Gaby, Chief Engineer cd the Hydro -
Electric 'Power Commission of On-
tario, in his comprehensive published
analysis of power trends,
The provision of adequate electric-
al power to meet actual demands,
with reserve nargain to ensure con-
tinuous service and to take upthe
temporary slackening that occurs
during depression, is a subject re-.
gardimg which many conflicting state-
ments have been made, but which can
readily be understood if the basic
considerations' set out in these sur-
veys are kept in mind.
The first consideration is, what
does past -experience indicate as a
necessary provision for future needs?
In other words, what has been the
past normal rate of growth in de-
! mend ?
1 !Broadly' speaking, growth in 'elec-
trical demand in t'he nose populated
portion of ,Ontario during the eight-
een years up to 11930 was of the
order of 1111 per cent per year, a rate
of growth that had been consistently
maintained 'throughout this long per-
iod. The arrangements for new power
supplies to meet these growing de-
mands must the taken in hand well in
advance, because it .takes severa'1
years to arrange for water -power
leases, to draw up designs, and to
carry out construction projects for
large hydro -electric power plants,
This, on a million -horsepower sys-
tem, means that 'hundreds of tbow-
ands of horsepower must be planned
or contracted for and under construc-
tion, in addition to the power actual-
ly in use at any time.
The other main consideration is,
how much reserve power capacity in sasassiszassass

excess of actual demands is it consid-
ered good practice to maintain actual- ranging new sources of power to
ly available? To care :for ordinary op-
erating contingencies and ensure
continuous reliable service, marry
large power undertakings keep a re-
serve or spare capacity on hand of 30
per cent or nnore, The Hydro -Electric
Power Commission of ,Ontario, with
its uniformly high standards of con-
struction and other favourable cir-
cumstences, is able to maintain - its
service with a minimum reserve cap-
acity of but 30 per cent. These mini-
mum percentages apply 'to prosperous
times, and represent the desirable
spare capacity at the time of the day
and year that the power demand is
greatest,
:Of course, when the factories shut
down ,for the night, extra reserve ca-
pacity corresponding to their temp-
orarily discontinued power demands
must be kept available until morning,
Correspondingly, when there is an
industrial depressiou, extra power
reserve capacity in accordance with
the amount of idleness of factories
must be kept on hand. 'Otherwise the
factories could not resume operation
and re-employ their workmen when
the dawn of recovery appears,

pression, the power authorities have

meet normal growth of demands, the
extra., reserve pover for recovery
from depression will he available
when needed, :and the factories will
not have to wait for power plant; to
be constructed before they can re-
sume operation, (In some of the 'larg-
er municipalities there is as 'much as
30 per cert of the electri'tl motors
idle due to the depression.)
This i, the fortunate position which
the power users of Ontario and their
employees are in to -day, The IIydro-
'IElectric .Power Commission in 1029
had arranged for power supplies to
become available year by year up to
1936-7 from the only economical
sources available to it—namely, from
its new Chats aFlls pl.utt and from
purchased power. The quantities pro-
vided were moderate, being 30 per
cent less than the fall amount re-
quired to take care of an eleven per
cent rate of growth for the period
concerned, However, as a .result cf
these provisions, the Commission at
the end of 1033 had a total commerc-
ial capacity ,of 1;'257,000 horsepower
for the industries and other power
users of the great 35 -cycle Niagara
system. This affords reserve :power
capacity, above the reduced primary
power demands at this stage of the
depression, of nearly 3115,000 horse-
power, Unless recovery from depres-
sion is exceptionally rapid, this quan-
tity should be :sufficient to safeguard
Ontario industries and workmen from
time disastrous delays that, without
such power reserves, would have
hampered the process of return to
fuller activity,—a 'beginnin.g of which
is now fn evidence.
Of course, in the meantime, until
general industry fully resumes its
normal demands for power, it is im-
portant to keep the cost of maintain-
ing these necessary special power re-
serves as logy as possible. The Hydro
`Commission is accomplishing this
through contracts under Which the
reserve power is used for producing
Process steam, but such power can
immediately be withdrawn at any
time it is required ,for the Hydro mu-
nicipalities or far the maintenance of
a supply of Ifinim power, As a result of
these efforts, there was in December,
1931, no commercial power capacity
idle on any of the Commission's sys-
tems owned by Hydro municipalities
except the (Niagara system, and even
on that system, the amount of un
utilized commercial capacity was less
than 1105,000 horsepower, or 110 per
cent of the 1,2517,0010'horsepo'twer total
available.
When it is remembered that a .large
proportion of Ontario's industrial ca-
pacity and of 'Ontario workmen were
still idle last December, it cannot
truly be contended that the Commis-
sion's action in providing, the mod -
era te

QUATERNION
The word "quaternion" occurs only
once in the Bible, Acts 1112:4, where
we are informed that Peter, after his
arrest by Herod, was put iu charge of
"four quaternious of soldiers"; but we
.learn from other writers the meaning
of the term.
ilt appears that the Romans divid-
ed the night into four watches of
three hours each; and in setting a mil-
itary guard they appointed a quater-
nion (a squad of four men) to be on
duty during that period. During the
night each anon in arc'session was on
guard for three hours while the other
three slept; 'hence in the case of the
"four quaterniois" mentioned in tilt
book of Acts, there were always four
men guarding Peter, while the re-
maining 12 were temporarily off duty.
!While "quaternion" is not ,used with
reference to the "watch" which was
guarding the tomb at the time of the
Resurrection, it has been inferred that
a similar plan was used on that on-
casion. '(Mat, 2.7:&5, 66.).
