number of motors of one-siXth horse
power ana others of 25-horse power are
also in use. In addition to the largest
cities mentioned above, there is a con-
siderable number of motors used in the
smaller cities, such as Bangor, Maine;
Lowell, Newburyport, Lynn and Spring
field, Mass; Providence, Pawtucket and
WOonsockett, r. l., and other Of the
smaller cities OF the east, and St. Louis,
Kansas City and other western cities.
The question naturally arises as to the
uses which these motors, furnishing as
they do small amounts of power, are
that they are employed in all those in
dustries and work which has formerly
been done by a small amount of steam
power or by the gas engines or water
motors which have been quite
extensively employed during the
last few years. They are en-
ployed for driving air-compres-
sors, bookbinding machinery, bakers
machinery, blowers. cranes, carpen-
ters' machinery, cash carriers, coffee
mills, churns, drug mills, dumb-waiters,
dentists lathes, drill presses, elevators,
grindstones, hydraulic presses, hatters'
machinery, icecream freezers, jewelers.
lathes, knitting machines, lathe work.

looms, paper box machinery, polishing
machines, pile driving printing presses,
quotation transmitters, sewing ma
chimes, stamping machines, ventilating
machines, washing machines and 100
other small uses.
Perhaps the most important use of
motors at present is on elevators, print
ing presses and sewing machines, and
in each line a large and increasing
number are constantly being used. The
increase in the many different outside
uses is even faster. Wherever a mod
crate noun Of power is needed the
electric motor can supply it. The econ
Omy of the stationary electric motor
claimed to be considerable. 1t Is based
upon the fact that large engines con-
sumo much less coal for the power fur
nished than do small engines.
In the transference of power through
the dynamo and motor to the machin-
cry, about 70 or so per cent is lost, but
even with this il can be seen that large
power may be produced at a central
station and sold out to consumers
cheaper than they could produce it by
small engines. Incandescent electric
light lighting companies can afford to
sell the motor power cheap, as the

advantage to them in giving employ
ment and earning capacity to their
plant when it would otherwise be idle
aud proftless. This arises from the
fact that most of the electric lighting is
done at night, and the machinery and
plant OF the company is then employed,
while during the day time it would be
idle. The advantage to the consumer
of electric power is found partly in the
greater %neatness, cleanliness and com
pactness Of the motor as compared with
engines, and from the fact that the mo
tors require no attendance, and the
power can be turned on or Off by q
switch. The motors themselves a:
mechanical devices are claimed to be q
per cent cheaper than engines. In mos,
cases the motors are sold outright to the
consumers, and the power is leased
but sometimes both motor and power
are leased.

men suffer from it, not from the heat.

HummiDg of Wires.

Engineering says the posts and trees
used as support for telegraph wires in
various districts in America are very
sharply marked by bears, which, it is
supposed, are misled by the humming
noises to presume hat there are bees
within. But the humming of telephone
wires is often a great nuisance to per-
sons near the end of the line. The
vibration is reduced so as to be inaudi-
BILE by mean of powerful springs placed
in a line, and preventing the wire from
reaching an excessive tension, especi-
ally in cold weather. The vibration Of
such lines is also reduced by hanging
weights upon the wires, and in that
mi reducing the length of these
vibrations by dampening the wires.
