1GWER MAGNIFCEXT IN DEGREE.
As the Scientific Am erical well
says, this isan age of superlative
terms in the description of gen
eral affairs, and one with due
care is slow to adopt the term
collossal, mammoth, etc., - but
even these terms are hardly ;; ex
pressive of the magnificent
aggregations of power in mod
era plants. ... "
Here are some of the ele-
phantive specimens: The "Com-'
pania," one of the CuriBrd Jlirie
of steam-ships, with her twin
engine, indicated 33,000 horsa;
nnwur nn Kp.p tfi1 trin r 11
The aggregation at Niagara
Palls when the last - of the ten
turbine wheels is completed .will
be 50,000 horse power, each tur
bine having 5,000 horse power.'
But New York city - will - soon'
have: three power plants ;to opef
ate her railroad, "systems - that
will be the largest in the world
and from what we are tempted
to term three degrees of the
superlative. The Metropolitan
street ail way .will be operated
by a 70,000-horse power plant;
the Manhattan elevated railway
by one of the 80,000-hbrse'power
and the Third Avenue Railway
Companv will operate with . a
plant of 100-000-horse power. ;
The simplest illustratiori that
wo can produce for the moment
would be a plant running; 5,000
ordinary country, .saw,, millsjior
for instance eighty-three and one
third such entire manufacturing
plants as that at-Porest Hiil
or more than one hun
drci such plants as v?the
Cannonville enterprise oper
ates, or enough power in the one
"plant to run more than 35 boom-:
ing, pushing, breezy towns like
Concord. V:
One i is j moved 1 to - wonder if
future , generations, too, will
smile at reading of such plants
-
as pigmies in comparison
with what will then be moving
the world.. -
" SOU4 SICKNESS.
Rather the gravest phase of
agricultural hindrahce,; that .we
have yet noted is that which the
Department of Agriculture has
noted- and 'is 1 r; studying, as
manifested in lands that seem to
be growing non-productive; ':yt
It has been the experience of
watermelon raisers of soma of
the Southern States ksfwell as
cotton growers in what is cailed
the Sea Island belt, along South
Carolina and Georgia,- as alsothe
cabbage growers in New York
'rynft the tomato growers of
, Florida that it becomes impossi-
ble to -raise satisfactory and
profitable crops. h .
