Enormous Loss of Power.

At the electric light convention in ST.
Louis Mr.. L. B. Stillwell remarked that
the Central station manager, who is buy
ING energy in the form of coal and sell
ing it in the form Of light and wasting 1t
at every step in the process, is losing tar
more before the energy passes through
the dynamo than afterward. He estl-
mates that out of each 900 horsepower
houeht in the form Of coal it is at pres
ent possible to sell not more than about a.
98 horsepower in the form Of light
Some $50 horsepower lost before reach
ing the DYNAMO and the rest afterward.
II seems clear therefore that the problem
of cheap electricity is in its final analysis
q problem of thernodynamics. -Eng1'
