Professor carhsrt Discusses the Principle
ofDynamicsi Electricity.

Professor (afnert discusses tuS FissiSsPscs
ofDynamicsi Electricity.
The fifth lecture of Professor Car
hars's series in the university extern
sion course was held in the high school
building last evening. Professor Car
bart began by announcing that the
purpose of the lecture was TO explain
the principal OF the dynamo-eiectric
machine. There are two principal
forms of armature, the drum armature
aud the ring arnature. The COM
mutator is connected with the loops or
drums OF wires fastened together by q
continuous loop. We tell how cur
rent Of electricity may be pro-
duced, but We cannot tell
why this mechanism produces It.
Illuminated armatures are used because
they do not heat and absorb the cleo
trio energy as does the solid iron used
IN the older forms of dynamo electric
machine. The current in the dynamo
is forced from higher poten-
tlal to lower potential. the current
given of is forced in reverse direction
from a lower to a higher potential.
The acton of series, Shunt and Brush
dynamos WAS illustrated. The Shunt
machine has q small wire connected
with the Brush. The first was proposed
by Seamans and the second by Whit
sion. The third is the Brush, which is
3 Combination of the two and forms u
constant potential. The greater the
current in the armature the less IN the
coil. aud the greater the current
through the coil the less through the
armsture. The Brush equslizes this
and holds both to given power.
Prof. Carhart next illustrated the
storage battery. In this the electric
force is transmitted from the generator
to the motor, the power converted is
not so great as IS the power IN the gen.
orator. The lines OF force in the gen.
orator are reversed ia the motor. The
introduction of the brush is of vast
importance, rs by this system from a
generator indicating thousands of volts,
fifty volts, or any number Of volts can
be takeu off and used for Lighting.
The next and last of this interesting
series of lectures will be delivered at
the West Michigan Business college,
next Friday evening.

SEVEN DESPERATE ROBBERS.
They Attempt to Hold Up Texas Train,
but Fail.

SAN ANTONIO, May ban attempt
was made by band of seven desper.
ate robbers to hold up the southbound
Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger
train between the stations of Temples
and Echo at o'clock this morning.
The engineer, when the men COM
manded him to halt his engine,
put on full speed. Each of the robbers
was armed with q Winchester rifle,
and about one hundred shots were
fired into the train. The baggage and
mail cars and the sleeper were riddled
with bullets. Thomas Hurley. con,
ductor on the Missouri Kansas & Texas,
occupied an upper birth and was shot
through the arm near the shoulder.
Several other passengers were wounded
by broken glass, and it is most miracu-
lous that none were killed.
