velopmentH at Lacalne and Chambly, all within easy reach, the student quickly learns the bearing of his subject upon the commercial and Industrial Interests of the Dominion, and It Is my highest ambition that the splendid water powers of Canada shall be guided Into useful channels largely by graduates of McGlII University.

"But let us return to the original subject, and trace in more detail the developments in the several branches of electrical work.

ELKCTRIC LIGHTING. "Coupled with tlie steam engine and water-wheel, the dyunnio converts the solar energy of our coal fields and waterfalls Into a subtle and powerful force, whose applications are literally without number. By 1870 the dynamo machine might be said to have reached a commercial form, but the problem of electric lighting was not solved until 10 years later.

"So rapidly were the iidvaiitagi'S of the Incandescent lamp appreciated for Interior lighting, and the electric an- for street II-lumluatlon. tliat In loss than a single generation, from llfleen to twenty million In-eandeseents and nearly half a inlllloii arcs are now In use In a .single country—the United States.

"Ill the early days of the Industry, when the protilems of Insulatioa and distribution were Imperfctidy understood, it waS necessary to use low electric pressures and to place the central station close to the dis. trict to be suppjled, but now that we have become familiar with pressures of ten, twenty, thirty- and forty thousand volts, and the possibilities of alternating currents for transmission and distribution are better known, the station may be located well outside the limits of the average city, feeding Into suitable snb-stntlons wherever current is rcQulred. This menus both a great economy In the cost of generation and the absence of the familiar smoke nuisance.

Il.'ippy and thrice happy should the people of the city lie, because iif the inagnlll-ceut wat<'r power that Is being <levelopeil at her very gates. Wltliin easy reach of Montreal there is more hydraulic power than In the whole of Switzerland, and when fully developed nnil electrlcally .applied, wc> should have here the (deetrlc cdty of the Dominion.

"I!ut lirllllaiil as have been the advances In electric sideiK'e. we are still far short of what w<' bc>]ie the future holds.
