How Electric Power Is Transformed Int
Mechanical Power.

How Electric Power Is Transformed Into
Mechanical Power.
An electro-m otor is device for trans
forming electric power into mechanical
power, and all practical electro-motors
depend for their operation on magnetic
attraction or repulsion. Tho general
principle involved in all motors is the
transmission of power to shaft and
thence by belts and pulleys to any
source desired.
When this electric power is accumu-
lated in sufficient force it can be used
for either light, heat Or power.
The electro-motor furnishes power for
traction purposes in two ways e., by
wire or storage batteries; the power be-
ing the same in both cases, but differ
emily applied. When car is run by
wire, connection is made between the
dynamo under the Car and the primary
dynamo at the electric works by means
of a metal trolley running on the wire.
The driver Of the car breaks connection
at will with cutoff" Yhe wire may
be either overhead or underground, pro-
vided it is we'll insulated.
Storage batteries are reservoirs to
hold the electricity which is led into
them from a dynamo or primary battery.
A storage battery consists of glass jar
containing lead plates and some water
slightly calculated. There must be at
least two lead plates in each jar, and
there may be any number moro than
two. On one of these plates-called the
posltaue electrode-there is spread paste
made of red lead; on the other plate
the neyattpe elecrode-is spread paste Of
litharge. These plates are put into the
calculated water in the glass jar, and a
wire from each plate is connected with
dynamo and the current turned on.
number Of these jars are then con-
nected in a battery, put underneath the
floor of the car, and the driver turns on
the current, running the car until the
supply of electricity is exhaustod.-

NO WORK, NO PLEASURE.

Labor Is Absolutely Necessary to the
Happiness of Mankind.
Some polemics argue that but for that
unfortunate affair in Paradise we should
now be living in play-day instead oil
a work-day world. Yet labor seems sd
essential to the happiness of the human
family, as at present constituted, that
one can scarcely conceive of trne enjoy
ment without it. 1t is not reasona BILE
to suppose that Adam was ever an idle
man, or Eve an INDECENT woman.
When we are Last work, the remem.
brance of our labors, if they have been
honorable and useful, is the chief
solace OF our retirement Does man
derive the same pleasure from the Dos
session OF wealth, when he has received
it as an inheritance. that he would have
derived from competence won BY the
sweat of his brow or the energy of his
brain? Every one knows that he does
not. The veteran merchant takes COM
fort in the recollection of his business
enterprises, when the pastimes and
recreations of his youth and nj turitv
seem to him ''stale, fiat and unprotitr
able"
Yes, the memories OF labor are sweet.

piness of his children set them to work

In vain were the poor ticket cgent's
frantic struggles Helpless as an in-
FAINT, he was laid down on the trodden,
half-thawed snow beside huge camp
fire, whose cracking came with muffled
sound to his ear. In an instant his mind
had grasped the situation. These half
civilized miners had in some way be-
come aware of the bank gold, and were
determined to possess themselves of it
by fair means Or foul. 1t was not the
cat alone who was responsible for the
creaking of the door at George Griffin's
cabin that self-same evening. There
had been an unseen auditor TO their
conversation-and chill went through
his veins, as he thought Of the possible
consequences to Selenda Bound =
end Of all this?
In the meanwhile Selenda herself had
shyly run out of the back door to watch
her lovers departure down the glen
path. There was an old fr-tree on the
heights from which she could look some
distance down the gorge. Beneath it's
dropping boughs she herself was hidden
and, as She stood there waiting, her
black shawl blown backward by the
re- no 81
pressed voices come up from the narrow
pathway under the cliff.

More muttering-more sullen growl-

Selenda stood there very pale, with
elssped hands.

herself. But haven't time. They're
not the people to lose secondhand be-
sides they would track me at once! Oh,
what shall do?"
Selenda Griffin. brought up in those
widernesses, was not girl to ask ques-
tions or depend on the opinions of other
people in an emergency. She was quite
used to making up her own mind, and
this occasion was no exception to the
general rule. She was determined to
guard the gold, even if it should be at
the expense of her own life-and she
was we'll aware of the idiotic super
stitions common to these ignorant
Canadian Frenchmen. Even to make
themselves rich they would not invade
the dreaded presence of death.
Over the frozen snow she fled swiftly
back to the cabin, from whose window
her mothers sweet, pallid face would
never more smile greeting to her, and
rushing in, she caught up piece OF

trying to trim bonnet, and knotted it
around the porch pillar-rnlte emblem
OF death. Then, with the strength of a
mountaineer's daughter, she dragged
the heavy, cherry wood coffin, which her
fathers whim had kept stand ing in the
angle of the bedroom wall all these
years, into the little front room, mount
ed it on two wooden benches instead Of
trestles, and, lighting pair of candle
in lead sconces, placed them at the
head and foot On homemade pine
stands. She wrapped the tin box III a
towel and put it under pillow in the
coffin head, and then, hurriedly envel-
oping herself in sheet of homespun
linen, coarse and worn, but beautifully
white, deliberately got into the grisiy
receptacle and stretched herself out
there straight and stiff as any corpse.
Her head, covered with one of her
mothers close itting caps, lay on the
precious treasure; her hands were
folded On her bosom, and her eyes were
closed.
Il think they will scarcely disturb
me here!' she thought, strange thrill
creeping through her veins. ''But have

in a terrific yell as he beheld the oblong
