Show Electric Plant in Arctic Circle. The "farthest north" electric plant is being constructed at Mount Hope, 100 miles north of the arctic circle. There are 400 persons at this place, and the plant is being built by one of the missions. The darkness at Mount Hope is intense in-tense during the long arctic night, and the electric plant will supply power pow-er for both light and hat. Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania will design the equipment. The electricity will be generated by wind power, as the wind at Mount Hope is steady and seldom falls below 20 miles an hour. |
