The Diet of American woman.

DIR. Hammond says that all American

ELECTRICAL TERMS.
There Is Nothing Wonderful in Connec-
tion With Their Origin.

There Is Nothing Wonderful in Connec-
tion With Their Origin.
Electricians use many odd terms in
their technical conversations, which are
but component parts of dead language
to most listeners. Thus, we hear them
speak of "farad," ''ohms," 'joules,"
''amperes," WATTS" etc. The unit Of
capacity is one farad; the unit of resist
ance, one ohm; the unit of work, one
joule; the unit of activity, one watt. the
unity of quantity, one coulomb; the unit
of current, one ampere; the unit of mag
netic field, one gauss; the unit of press
dyne. Odd as these names may sound
to the ear, there is really moth
ing wonderful in connection with
their origin, they all having been
derived from the name Of some
man famous in his special field of cleo
trical study. Thus Michael Faraday.
George S. Ohm and James P. Joule, IA
nous English and German discoveries,
give their names to the first three units
mentioned above; James Watt and An
DIRE NJ. Ampere, English and French in
ventors, to the two units following.
Chas. A. Coulomb and Carl Il. Gauss,
the former Frenchman and the latter
German, give their names to the units
of quantity and magnetic field. The
volt is named for the Italian discoverer,
Volta; the dyne is derived from the root
word of dynamo, itself meaning force

Some of the officials of the George

of some kind of seeds.
No one could classify them, but sew
