Lindsay THE PLANT OF THE FENELON POWER C0- Something About the Means by Which the Power is Obtained Fenelon Fails, when the burg itself is considered, Inspires little more awe than the average Canadian village of some- where about 1,000 people. but when the cataract, from which the village gets its name, and which for ages before that ‘ i village came, was an echoing voice among ‘ the tree-clad hills and down the gorgeâ€"â€" when that is meant by Fenelon Falls, it has a significance respectable among the waterfalls of this province. Near the highest point in Ontario it makes the feet, by which the storm- ove find rest amid the mild Here is their agony and triumph. To-day, at high-water, the . cataract is imposing. With volume,‘ d thunder the torrent throws it- whose plunge of 40 swept lakes ab Kawarthas. speed an ' self over the ledge into an abyss, : seething flood is not sounded by the long. est square timber that comes down from the wooded lands beyond. From its foot ‘ there rise those ceaseless clouds of mist as though the waters were quenching eternal fires beneath. ‘ ' AL- quauus u--- ‘-__, Since this jolt first occurred in the liquid flow of these waters, a great deal of energy has gone to waste at that point. For years after the native used to come ‘ down the decllvity in his canoe for past- the d time, and the running schools of maskin- Two onge could make the grade by putting on very . full speed, these rushing floods were never put in harness. Then came a mill or two, but the cataract worked these on the side. THE TOWN FOOLED Of late years a good deal of attention has been given to transforming the energv of waterfalls into electric power. There are few falls within half a century of miles of important towns. that have not been mentioned as possible centres of electrical enercy. Of these few the Fenelon catar- act is not one. For some time past that . power has been eagerly scanned by enter- prising men and its possibilities have been turning over in their minds. Last The year the council and board of trade of this town made an effort to have the power developed. A languid individual of the species expert, went up there from Toronto to see if the power was sufficient whil for the purposes of this town. As far a,s the he could see from the bridge and through be i the smoke of his cigar, the power would than be insufficient. So the scheme fell through an and $400 of town money with it. log: The Light, Heat and Power company of eve this town did not take that view of it for however. They secured the franchise and went about det sloping the power as fast as they could. Two weeks ago they had it reporting in Lindsay in electrical energy c for lighting and motor purposes. Y THE METHOD or IT The amount of that power and the per- fect control under which it is held are but not more so than the sim- plicity of the means of its capture and its transm‘euon. With the novelty and vast practical advantages of such an enter- prise in his mind. one visits the village of Pamela" wuu anticipations of bewildering mechanism in imposing buildings. When he arrives there, howewr, his credulity is put under severe strain, when a plain ‘I little one-story building on a corner of the old Yankce mill site is pointed out to 1y him as the abode of the greatest electrical p1 power in this part of the province. But ‘1: economy of space is one of the advantages of electric plants. P It has been said already that the 3' method of capturing this power is simple. E This is the outline : A heavy wall of 3‘ stone and concrete 100 feet long and 20 t high runs parallel with the main stream E , of and between it and the southern shore. v ome Its western end butts against the rocky ‘ tioor of Cameron lake, and at right angles to its eastern extremity another wall runs southWard to the shore. The lake flows and into the enclosure formed by these walls, Irttiy here 20 feet deep, and there is your water :_ enâ€" power. TOWard its northern end this 3 the shorter wall, up against which that depth of water stands, is pierced by a circular lf 8-11 opening 11 feet across. Into this the leO- m be npen end of a 30-foot boiler is thrust. Near the other end of the boiler and be' low is an 8-foot escape pipe which dis- charges under water in the river. When the valve is open the whole-head of water behind the wall pours through this great boiler and down the escape into the river. In the boiler and above the escape is a water-wheel on the end of a shaft that protrudes through the boiler head. On. the other end of this shaft is the dynamo. The rushing water sends the wheel around auto Au ough- -S i 200 times per minute and of course the L I dynamo goes the same. The wheel goes and the cause is water, the dynamo gues :d. and the result is electricity. At one end of a 10-foot shaft you have water and at lent the other 1,000 horse power of electric current 0 A FINE POINT There is an interesting thing about the force of water in the boiler. It has been explained that the discharge is under water. If it had been into the air the wheel must have been on a level with the foot of the dam to get the full force of the head water. As it is‘ the wheel is situated conveniently. half way up the dam and vet the full force is obained. That is a nice point in hydraulics but is explained on the theory that when the discharge is under water the air pressure is overcome. AN ACCIDENT When the big boiler was being placed in position an accident occurred that came near dispensing with both that part of the plant and the northern wall of the building. It is made of five-eighths steel and being 11 by 30 feet is of considerable weight. It was being let down through i the south wall on ways of great skids of timber and railway 'iron, when the E chain broke and it crashed into the north- 01 em wall which overlooks the river below 5: the falls. It knocked that wall two feet 11 out of plumb and then stuck on the stone b work below. The wall had to be taken '1 down and the boiler itself had a. narrow .g ‘escape from fathoming the river at it! f deepest point. It came near being a new i boiler and a new wall. MAKING ELECTRICITY. But to speak of the electrical plant it- self. The water plant is suspended on great steel girders over great excavations 1 in the living limestone and as you climb around among its parts you look down to > where the dim light from outside turns ' the churning water to amber beneath its ’ torn garment of foam. Where the dyna- mo stands. however, the floor is of cement and all about stand the polished marble and brass by which the current is manipu' ‘ lated. The dynamo stands 16 feet high and e is over three feet wide. The base is broad; " the dynamo and its base weigh 30 tons.‘ Two hundred revolutions a minute is not very high speed for a dynamo, but as the rim of that machine is nearly 20 feet ” across. the circumference goes at a pretty " lively pace when the axle is making 200 turns a minute. This dynamo will u generate 530 horse power. But the iv initiated do not refer to electric energy A v... THIS WAY TO TOWN. After the dynamo. one is shown quite 'i a maze of wires, but in response to the question “Which take the power to Lind- say i” one is shown three heavy strands that go out through the roof. and along thesis the tremendous energy of the cataract travel here for light and power. The space required for the Lindsay plant has been greatly reduced by the : change. The northern power house has been sold to Horn Bros, the machinery is on the market ; the dynamo that made such an incessant humming at the other house is silent and finally only thespace for the three 5-ton transformers anda few switches will be used. Rents ought to go up in the neighborhood of the power house since that sleep-inspiring dynamo stopped its serenade. ‘ It only remains to say that the electric plant both here and at Fenelon Falls seems a credit to the Canadian General Electric company that installed it. The ’ switchboards are of beautiful marble and the brass fixtures of extremely fine polish. Manager Reesor has every detail well in hand and takes great pains to make the visitor understand the system. Those who are much troubled by any of the several species of cutâ€" worm should remember that, they can easily be destroyed by the use of a. mixture of bran and Paris green, moistened with sweetened water, just enough to make into little balls that are to be placed by the side of each hill, or scattered at intervals of three or four feet apart along the drills. The worms will eat this in preference to the plant, and they will never eat plants again .after once trying this. Each ball should be about a tea- spoonful. One pound of Paris green ‘ to 50 pounds of bran is sufficient. It should not be put where the poul- try can get it, but poultry have no business in the cultivated fields. A patent has been issued in Ger- many covering a process of condens- ing milk by freezing and thawing it in a centrifugal soperator when in motion. The work is said to be rendered easier by first separating the cream and condensing the skim milk, after which it is mixed with the cream. It is claimed for this kind of condensed milk that it can be again diluted to its original volume, and also that it does not have the sweet taste to which some people obâ€" Iject in the condensed milk now in 1 use. The demand for pureâ€"blooded rams is likely to be larger for the Down breeds than for other classes, says the American Agriculturist. Breed- ers are giving their attention alâ€" most entirely to mutton qualities, except in sections of the west and southwest where free range can be had.
