The Dynamo Current.

There is good deal of wonder concern
!Ag the action of the dynamo, how it pro-
duces current. How can power come from
union of cast iron, copper wire, sheet
iron and paper? | asked the question of
Mr.. Briggs, regardless of the shock might
inflict upon his scientific system. This is
about what he said in reply: "All the iron
we use is, as ! told you at the beginning of
your inquiry, slightly magnetic. If it is
not, we magnetic it by means of strong
current. We are sure of a small quantity
of a residual magnetism in the iron frame
of the magnet.
This residual magnetism does the bust
ness. The engine is started, the rapid
revolution of the armature which connects
the two poles of the magnet generates it in
a current from the reserve fund, this cur
rent passes to the field coils, which are con-
nected through a sort of bypath to the
winding of the armature, and charges them
TO their full strength.
"a powerful magnetic field is then Gre
ated between the poles of the magnet. and
as the armature is revolving in the very
center of this field, current is generated in
the coils of the armature. Thus the two
principal parts of the machine help each
other. There is sufficient magnetism about
the machine TO cause the generation of cur
rent to begin directly the armature is re-
VOWED.
- portion of this curreut goes to the
coils of the field magnets and at once
strengthens their magnetism, which nat
uraily causes a corresponding increase of
strength in the currents generated in the
armature In very short time the mag
netic field attains its full strength, and the
| dynamo is developing the full amount of
euergy for which it was designed This,
| in a few words, is the beautiful principle
| of the self exciting dynamo. OF the power
supplied to the dynamo by the driving en-
| CINE, it delivers about nine-tcnths in the
form of electrical energy, available for
| lighting, for driving motors, for electro
| plating, for the reduction of ores and for
dozens of other useful purposes. very
small percentage of the power is used in
the dynamo itself energizing the field mag
nets "-Electricity.

DREAM THAT BROUGHT FORTUNE.

Before Watts, the discover OF the
mode of making shot, had his
notable dream, induced by over
indulgence in stimulants, the manu-
facture in question was slow, labor
ious and consequently costly pro-
cess, Great bars of lead had to be
pounded into sheets of thickness
nearly to the diameter of the shots
desired. These sheets had then to
be cut into little cubes, placed in a
revolving barrel and there rolled
round until, by the constant friction,
the edges wore off from the little
cubes, and they become spheroids.
Watts had often racked his brain
trying to discover some better and
less costly scheme, but in vain. Fin.
ally, after spending an evening with
some boon companions at an ale
house, he went home, went to bed,
and soon fell asleep. His slumhers
however, were soon disturbed by
unwelcome dreams, in one of which
he was out again with the boys, anc
as they were stumbling home i
began to rain shot-beautiful glo
bules of polished, shining lead-ir
such numbers that he and his com
panions had to seek shelter.
