High Cost of Coal Has Turned Scientist's Attention to Other Power -Producing Agents. L. "The present generation will be the last to acknowledge coal as king," said a vrell.known scientist the other day. • He was referring to the wonderful strides ina.de of late in perfecting tur- bines and other machinery for obtain- ing decay power from waterfalls and lakes, rivers and tides. The high cost of coal has turned the ecientist's attention to other power - generating agents, and the cheapest of them all is water. Niagara was the first of the great falls to be congttereel in this way, From its five power Mations, eleetrical energy equal to 680,000 horse -power 1a obtained. • One horse -power represents the la- bor of at least ten men, so that the Niagara development seems, at first glance, to represent the energy of 5,- House for good report or dubious 800,000 men, But man has elected to fame. work no more than eight hours a day, white Niagara gives out its power from sunrise to sunrise. The Niagara development, therefore, stands for the torce of 17,400,000 able-bodied Men. Towne sixty and eighty miles away from the falls have found it cheaper to use this power. This electrical energy Is obtained by diverting water from above the falls SO th..&..t. It fall§ upon turbines set 170 feet to itZ feet elow the surface of the river. A turbine is composed of a number of vanes set spoke -wise round an axis, and enclosed in a cylinder in such a fashion tb.at all water peesing through the eylinder must push the vanes aside in its course, hnparting to them, and, therefore, to their axis, a circular motion. Attached to the tur- bines are revolving shafts of steer, reaching up to the generators in the power -house, which operate the dyna- mos and thus produce electrical ener- gjh A PeriteLle Task.
