We are now ena led to give further details and to illustrere the gen arating plan and switchboard ero- ployed in the Chins Light and Power Company's new installa- tion. The existing power station of the company is situated at Kowloon, and contains gas engine

driven generators operating on anction gaa. The necessity for increasing the output of the station

to

cope with the growing demand for electricity

for

power and lighting purposes in Hongkong led the managers of the company, Messrs. Shewan, Tomes and Co., to consider the type of prime mover most suitable for driving the new generatore. After careially considering the relative merits of gas engine and steam tarbice driven generatore, the company, in conjunction with .their con-alting engineer, Mr. Conrad Mendham, decided in favour of turbo generators. Coa- | tracts were, accordingly entered int with the British Thomson-) Houston Company, L:d. of Buzby, for the sopply of the tarbo generating plant and control switch-gear, and with Messrs, Babcock and Wilcox for the boiler plant.

The ̈ recuperative power of Russia is displayed equally in her magui- ficent armies assembled on the Austro-German fronts, and in the calma determination of the men AS well as the leaders to conquer or to die.
