By It, reports Popular Science Monthly, electric power generated gen-erated In the Rocky mountains may be sent to the Mississippi vtilley or even farther east, and the pow.ef of?Nlag-ara of?Nlag-ara might span the country.5- - ; i The new system dlvides"the entire transmission line into sections' of 100 and 200 miles, linked by rotary regulators, regu-lators, or condensers, each of which transmits the current onwrd with small losses. It promises to makfe fos" sible the utilization of -waterfalls which are now Idle because they are In Isolated localities. t.-.--
