ors, too, are unlovely objects to the
eye. Electric heaters, on the other
hand, occupy little space and are
easily concealed. Some day such
heaters will be distributed over the
walls Of theaters and concert halls
forming, it may be, panels in the
wainscoting or included in the
scheme of ornamentation.
Modern Warships and mercantile
steamers are nowadays equipped with
apparatus for electric lighting. Before
long their dynamo capacity will be in
creased so that heat as we'll as light
may be furnished. One system of wires
will supply both, and the present costly
equipment of steam pipes will be done
away with. 1t is expected that in Can
ada, where coal is very expensive, and
abundant mechanical power is affored
by sWift-running streams, power sta
tions will be eStablihed within a few
years for supplying adjoining territory
with electric currents for heating pur-
poses.
Eventually, coal for heating will be
largely dispensed with in towns and
cities which have plenty Of water-pow-
er for manufacture of electricity. In
deed, companies have already been
formed with al view to carrying out this
idea. 1t is thought that Albany and
Troy might be supplied with almost
indefinite quantities of the electric fluid
for heating as well as for lighting by
simply raising and improving the dam

when he was eighteen years of age
and went to the front as a member
Of the Sixth Ohio infantry When his
hrst term of service as a volunteer
expired, he re-enlisted for three years.
He fought under Mcclellan in the West
Virginia campaign and was with Grant
at Shiloh. In February. 1853. he was
transferred to the First Mississippi
Marine brigade. One day near Austin.
Miss. he received a charge of small
shot full in the face and was soon hor-
rified to learn that he was totally
blind.
He received an honorable discharge
from the army and entered a school for
the blind at Columbus, o.. remaining
there for seven years studying and pre-
pairing himself for the ministry He
then entered the theological seminary
at Canton, n. Y, and was finally
licensed to preach. His first pastorate
was at Madrid, n. Y, and he has since
preached the gospel at Willoughby, o.;
Chatham, Mass, and Port Huron,
Mich. He was pastor Of the UNIVERSAL
ist church at Port Huron until several
months ago, when he resigned. He is
described as a man of lovable charac-

Congress has long been. partial to
blind chaplains and chaplains who
make short prayers. The Rev W. H.
Milburn. who became famous as the
"blind chaplain of the house" was ap-
pointed away back in 1S45 and has been
praying in the house at intervals for
the past fifty years. Not long ago he
was transferred to the senate which
he now opens with prayer.

attention, and do not require any of
the time of the conductor. The turn
ing Of a switch does everything, and
the current is easily regulated so as
to produce any degree of tempera ture
that may be wanted. The current may
be diminished or increased to any one
of five intenSities of heat, and however
the temperature may be regulated, it
remains constant. With a stove simi-
lar control is out of the question. OF
course, there are no fires to be built
and no ashes to be disposed of; when
a car is laid off, there is no fire to be
drawn.
The electric heater furnishes a large
quantity of pleasantly warmed air in
stead of a small quantity of overheated
air. In cars the apparatus is so placed
as to distribute the heat as evenly as
possible, and an advantage is obtained
by delivering it near the feet. Thus
the warm air is communicated to the
passengers before it rises to the upDer
parts of the vehicle. A coal stove, on
the other hand, sends its heat first to
the upper part of the car, while the air
near the floor remains uncomfortably
cold.

''My dear sir''-began the doctor, with
an impatient shrug of his shoulders.

woman who had been Mrs Murdock's

after a tine she found she couldn't get
along without it. So the habit stuck
TO her, and she kept making it stronger
and stronger and drinking more and
more of it,
That's true" chimed in a number of
those present, who were familiar with
Mrs. Murdock's habits.

''She hated the sight of it. She's always
! been an active temperance worker, and

drink in day?" asked DR.. Nichols.

The doctor called in assistance, and
consultations We're held and expert
ments made. 1t was observed that dur
ing the intervals of the patients delir-
ium she craved most fiercely for coffee.
When coffee was administered to her.
she exhibited precisely the symptoms
shown by an ordinary delirium tremens
patient who is given whisky. Mrs.
Murdock had no desire FOR alcohol at
all, and refused to touch it.
1t was established on unimpeachable
evidence that Mrs. Murdock had many
times striven to break herself of the
coffee habit without success, Gnd that
on the occasion preceding her alarming
outbreak she had dispensed with the
beverage for two whole days, suffering
acutely meanwhile.
And so the doctors confessed them

itated Widow Murdock's character

GREAT NORTHERN STORAGE BATTERIES.

and two dynamos. The storage bat
terry is placed in a room opposite the
engine room and is charged from the
dynamos in the latter. 1t consists
Of 120 cells, the voltage of the bat
terry current being 120 volts, or one
volt for each cell. The strength of
current obtained from it is about
fifty-fve amperes, sufficient for the
illumination Of 10 lamps, which will
run ten hours or thereabout.
The value of the battery may be un-
derstood to some extent when it is
stated that it enables the company
to dispense with the operation of
the main plant at night during all
except the short-day winter months.
The charging of the battery takes
about five hours, time in such case
being regulated by the nature of
the work, which must not be al
lowed to progress toe rapidly. On
. the occasion of my visit one of the
! dynamos was employed in charging
the battery, the current from the 9TH
er operating the elevators and fur
nishing such lights as were needed
during the day. The efficiency of the
storage battery for illuminating pur-
poses was fully demonstrated, as
! well as the economy accruing by
the use of the unemployed power of
the plant for charging the storage
/ battery, which would restore the
current to action as needed.
! The above being a local is no doubt
a very limited view of the subject.
One reads nowadays of electric car
riages for common roadways sue
cessfully propelled through the
agency of the storage battery, and
many like wonders. The propulsion
of the street car by storage is now
an old story. In the city of Merrill,
! Wis, the street lighting is done,
| am told, by the city railway COM
pany. 1t operates it's cars during the
day with the main or direct current
from the dynamos in it's plant; but
during certain parts Of the day, when
traffic is slack, it employs it's unused
power in charging storage batteries.
When night comes it's works shut
| down, the current from the storage
! batteries is turned on to the city
| lighting circuit, and the smaller bat
teries, adapted to that end, are placed
on the night cars and operate them.
It has been suggested that the st.

! Meanwhile good many people
who are able to pay for the luxury
are buying electric culinary appar-
atus. 1t is undeniable that the
| kitchen thus equipped is joy and
| a blessing-free from dirt and noX-
| ious gases, and cool. Think of the
happiness of a kitchen that is al
| ways cool; of a cook who is not red
| in the face and soiled as to clothing;
of a fire that requires no kindling,
being turned on or eXtinguished at
an inStant'S notice. Why, under
such conditions life assumes a new
aspect from the point Of view of the
housewife.
With the Introduction of the elec-
trio chafing dish ends the era of the
alcohol lamp, with it's disagreeable
odor and liability to overflow and
set fire to the tablecloth. Similar in
idea is the electric teakettle and
stand, admirably adapted for 5
o'clock tea. The stand is connected
with an electric wire; turn of the
button and presently the water for
the beverage that cheers without in
ebriating is singing in the pot. Take
off the teakettle and you have in the
stand suitable apparatus for MAX
ing coffee in bachelors apartments
or for various uses in the nursery or
sick room. In hospitals electric con-
trivances are particularly we'll
| adapted for heating food, warming
bandages, etc.
The electric range looks very diff
| ferent from a range of the ordinary
| kitchen pattern. 1t is more like a
| table, with a cupboard beneath for
warming dishes and a shelf above
| for such supplementary articles as
| the chafing dish and coffee pot. On
| the table perhaps will be seen a
porcelain-lined pot for boiling or
stewing, a griddle and broiler,
while the ovens stand on the floor
alongside. Ovens, pot, broiler, ETC.,
are attachable to wires when wanted
for use. Overhead the skimmers
and other small utensils hang from
pegs on the wall.
1t is said that meats roasted in
the electric oven have all the quail
i ties of meats cooked in front of a
fire, and they do not require basting
or watching. They are cooked more
evenly and in less time, while retain
ing a larger percentage of the nu-
tritious juices. Bread is baked in
the same apparatus ideally. No cul-
mary process is more difficult than
to broil in a first-class manner The

ensues, the energy of the electric cur
rent is stored" and the battery is
said to the Charged" the two poles
of the battery being respectively
positive and negative. When these
poles are connected, an electric cur
rent is Immediately set up, capable
of doing the same work as that OF
the primary battery, to the extent Of
the charge or storage. The stor-
age, or secondary, battery need not
be at once used, but will hold its en>
ergy for a considerable time; in this
lies it's chief value. For the purpose
of charging the battery the electric
current is drawn from the dynamo;
hence, when the dynamo is not 9TH
erwise employed, it may be used for
this purpose; or where, as in most
plants, there are several dynamos,
some are generally available for
charging the storage battery, while
the others do the main work Of the
plant An added advantage in the
storage battery is its portability, and
for purposes of electric lighting it
may be removed to sub-stations or
otherwise transferred as need be.
A practical illustration of the value
and utility of the storage battery for
Illuminating purposes was given me
on the occasion of a visit to the
Great Northern general office build
ing, where, through the courtesy of
Chief Engineer Stevens, was per-
mitted to inspect the storage bat
terry maintained there. The electric
plant of the company is placed in the
basement and operates the elevators

KITCHENS AND COOKERY
ELECTRIC RADIATORS NEXT

Electric cookery is in it's infancy.
Yet the time is nearly approaching
when the kitchens of all well-man-
aged households will be run by the
mysterious fluid. Electricity will
take the place of fuel in the range;
the department of the cuisine will
be lighted by the same agency, and it
is entirely conceivable that small
electric motor will be made to serve
for such purposes as beating eggs
and mixing griddle cakes. IL
Already electric stoves in mum
ber of patterns are on the market.
You can even buy an electric chat
ing dish, which may be attached at
a moments notice to an ordinary
electric wire in any house. These
chafing dishes are made in one
quart and two-quart sizes, nickel
plated. All you have to do is to,
make the attachment by a plug,
switch, turn on the current and al,
most Immediately your oysters are
beginning to stew or your eggs to
frizzle. h=
Before long householders will take
electricity regularly for domestic
purposes, just as they now take gas.
But the more subtle fluid will be
made to serve for cooking and heat
ing as well as for lighting. The con-
venience to the housewife of being
able to rely upon one system of wires
for fuel, for cooking and for warm
ing and Illuminating the dwelling
will be enormous. She will find it
particularly delightful to be rid of a
hot kitchen in the summer time.
Nowadays the kitchen is apt to be
the dirty place of any house. To
keep it really clean is almost out of
the question. The coal used for fuel
blackens everything with which it
comes in contact; ashes make more
dirt, and smoke blackens the ceiling
and walls. In the electricity con-
Quoted kitchen of the near future it
will be quite different. There will be
no coal, no ashes and no smoke.
The range will be ready for
cooking at moments notice,
