At Niagara Falls - Electric Power to be Transmitted to New York

Power from the great dynamos of the Niagara Power Company will be transmitted into New York over 462 miles of wire on May 5th. The wires for the transmission will be furnished by the Western Union Company, on one of its heaviest cables. The longest distance that electrical power has ever been carried is 110 miles, and that in Europe. The current will not be a heavy one, but will demonstrate that by Nikola Tesla's new system it can be conveyed almost any distance. It will be the first practical test of the system, and its projectors seem to fear no failure.

Vice-President Frank W. Hawley, of the company, has extended to Gov. Morton an invitation to participate in the opening of the National Electrical Exposition to be held in New York on May 5th. The particular part to be performed by the Governor will be to turn on the current of electricity which will be furnished from Niagara. This will be done by an electrical button, and the current will turn a model of the Niagara company's plant in New York, and also the cable-canal system of towing. The Bell Telephone Company will have a telephone system transmitting the roar of the falls, so as to make the thing realistic.
