The Mail sayszâ€"The mighty and re- sistless power of the Falls of Niagara is no longer to go to waste but is to be utilized for the promotion of mar ’. industrial enterprises. In 1886 a com pany was incorporated in the State 0 New York to consummate this end, and it is now stated that enough money has been subscribed to justify the necessary work of construction being commenced in july. The scheme, gigantic in its nature, is to utilize the force of Niagara like: by wustructing a tunnel from the W318! level below the falls, about zoo feet under the high bank of the river and extending it parallel with the shore of the river for nearly three miles. at 9. depth of too feet below the surface or the earthand at a distance of 400 feet from the navigable water of the river, with which it will be connected by means of conduits or lateral tunnels. The conduits are to lend to wells sunk to the tunnel, and in' these wells will be placed turbine wheels which will be Operated by the weight of water in the wells. The estimated ap- acity of the tunnel will give 119,000 bars..- power’ which it issaid, is greater than All the other water of the United States combined. The cost or‘ con- muction is put down at $3,000,000 and enough patronage has been promised to pm a dividendon that amount.

And what is still more satis factory they seem to be excellent material for building up our country. One morning last week there were 275 new arrivals at the immigration ground in Toronto; by night not twmty re» mained. all having scattered to various points in Ontario. N one of the lot required a meal or assistance of any kind. being apparently well provided £01 in all respects. Another feature of the immigration movement upon which we may congratulate ourselves is that many Canadians are returning to Canada after ï¬nding by experience that there is no place like home.
