Is so arranged that 1t can be used either a.
q dynamo or . motor.
There sre Ave circuits for experimental
purposes.
The third section is connected with the
500 volt Laroche alternating dynamo, the
excite the fields of the alternating dynamo.
The board has two circuits Tor experiment.
The fourth section ia connected with
storage battery of fifty cells, and Is ar
ranged with two circuits for experimental
purposes.
Each of the sections IL arranged with .
volt meter to record the pressure in volts,
and IN amperemeter to mark the current
in amperes. Two of the volt meters are
80 arranged that they may be illuminated
at night. There is an addition to the dy-
son slow speed motor. which will be run
from the first section Ct the switch
board, or from the storage battery. The
dynsmos will be run from communicating
which will be belted to the main shaft and
will have q maximum spaed of l 800 revo-
lutions per minute. The main shaft will
be run by thirty five horse power Corliss
engine, or gas engine may be used to run
the dynsmos. The counter-shafting will
be placed on the floor to prevent vibration
in the building. In connection with tho
alternating dynamo q converter IN used
for reducing the voltage from 500 to 100
Edison dynamo is q simple shunt dynamo
when charging the storage batteries, but
when used for other purposes 1t IL COM
pound. Both the E iison dynsmos are
eight horsepower. Mr.. F. A. Barron of
the General Electric company of New York
city has had charge of putting in the plant.
It is expected that this valuable addition
to the electrical course will be of great
usefulness in practical instruction.
WORK ON THE NEW DoRMITORIEs.
The work on the new dormitories has
been progressing rapidly of late, owing in
part to the moderate weather. The tiles
are now being put on the roof of Wander
bilt hall and the roof will soon be entirely
completed. The tower has been finished
and the carving on the exterior will be
begun in a few days. Comparatively little
progress has been made in the interior of
the building. although the partitions have
all been put In. The wires and pipes for
the electricity and gas have been laid for
some time and the lsthing and plastering
are now nearly finished. The window
castings have not yet been put in, although
this work hes begun. The heating System
in tho east wing has been practically COM
pleted. Euglish glazed brick has been
used in paving and walling the entries, and
plsstering has bsen done and in short
time the work on the interior wood work
will be under way.
Work on the interior of the White dor
mitory has progressed more rapidly than
Vanderbilt, owing to the fact that the
steam pipes have been laid for come length
of time. The thing of the roof has been
almost finished, and the exterior decorat
ing is already we'll under way. The & ,ors
have been laid and tie plasterinz has been
practically finished. -.
The progress on Berkeley hall has been
about the same as that on White, the roof
work on the interior ia being rapidly
pushed.
LECTURES ON sHAKsPERE.
At the request of a number of New Ha
ven ladies and gentlemen, Professor
Lounsbury has consented to deliver a
series of seven lectures on Shakspere
They will be given at the United church
chapel. 300 Temple street, on Thursday at
8 p. m, beginning February 8. This
series is identical with the courses which
have recently been given by Professor
Lounsbury in Cleveland and Hartford.
Most of the tickets have already been dis
poeed of at private sale, but few are left
and these have been placed at the Co Op.
The price of tickets for the course /, 81 so.
PATRoNEssEs OF SOPHOMORE GERMAN.
