Show Nlaaara's Future City. An idea which has occurred to many minds since tho last "harnessing" of Niagara falls was clearly put by a spuuker beforo tho Engineers' society of New York. It Is thnt most of tho electric power obtained from tho fulls will be used within a few miles of Its place of origin Instead of being transmitted trans-mitted to distant cities. In other words, It Is believed that at and near the falls will be situated the future Industrial center of America. It would bo theoretically possible, It Is stated, to transmit power from Niagara as far as San Francisco, but tho cost would be prohibitive. It Is much cheaper to locate factories near the falls. |
