In the world, and when electricity be-
comes cheap enough all Of US who can
get it will do our cooking and warming

passed through wire the electric force
is converted into heat force, as above
stated, and the wire becomes hot. II
no provision is made for carrying off
the heat, the wire melts, but bv en-

wire does, and so does not crack, the
electricity is confined to the wire, but
the heat is carried off through the

heat is conveyed through the kettle to
the water and the water boils, Just as
If the heat came to it from glowing

with. If it is woven in with asbestos
fiber it makes an electric blanket or

ing plates, electric foot warmers, or, in

A spiral of such wire properly arranged
can be put in any vessel, and will heat
water for shaving or other purposes.
If a very large volume of current is sent
through two bits of metal pressed to-

one to the other. making the joined
metal intensely hot, so that the two

plications of electric heating, which

Claim to the Whole Road.
It happened the other day in one of
the most aristocratic districts of the
North SIDE. One of the vehicles was a
handsome carriage, occupied by swell
young matron, and driven by the haugh-
test of English coachmen, while the
other was an extremely unbeautiful
wagon belonging to the street cleaning
department., and engineered by a nom
descript individual of Hibernian line
age.
The wagon was in such q position that
It blocked the advance of the carriage
and the coachman, leaning forward,
bent his naughty gaze on the driver and
said: SAW, say, me man, turn out there,
will you?"
There was no reply, and the individual
addressed gazed far into vacancy. The
neck of the coaehman grew purple, and
there was some asperity in his tones as
he called again: Hi say, old fellow, just
turn aside and let us pass, will you?"
Again there was no reply, and the &C.
cupant of the carriage came to the res.
cue. Leaning out OF the window, with
a conquering smile, she said:
MY good man, kindly turn out and
allow us to pass; you are blocking the
way" But the man on the cart gave no
sign of hearing any more than might the
statue of Gen. Grant under similar con-
ditioDs. Z He also remained immovable.
Finally the lady gave the order to turn
out and go around the other way. As
