Electrical Units.

The ohm Is the unit of resistance
: and may be compared to the resistenc'
of pipe to the water flowing IN IT,
The volt is the unit OF Intensity. i
may be compared with the steam
pressure OF steam engine, or the
pressure ola column of water flowing
in a vertical pipe.
| One must not fall into the error OF
considering electricity fluid, because
of these comparisons. The units NAV
be very easily explained Ev the anal
ogy OF current of fluid, but the an
cient theory that electricity g an
"imponderable fluid" is now consid-
cred untenable.
The coulomb is the measure OF
quantity OF flow; that is, current
flowing at the rate of one ampere
second. The quantity is so small that
in prsctical battery, electric light and
motor work, the ampere hour is taken
as the measure of quantity
The watt is the mechanical unit of
work power. The number of watts
may be'obtained by multiplying the
number expressing the volts, or the
electromotive force, by the number
expressing the ampereage of tine cur
rent. A force of TAG watts equals enc
horse power.
The ampere is the measure rate of
flow of current, and is that qua, fly
which would pass through cir, uit
having one ohm resistance. wien
urged by pressure of one volt. Ii
does not include the idea of time or
real pressure of one volt Thus we
might have an ampere flowing
through circuit as the result of either
the smallest fraction of a volt or of
100000 volts depending upon the re-
sistauce of the circuit. The quantity
flowing, however, would be exactly
the same as that resulting from one
volt through one ohm
The farad Is the measure of capacity.
The capacity of a shrface which can
hold one coulomb of electricity at
voltage or pressure of one volt is
farad. 1t may be compared with the |
capacity of container filed with gas.
Under certain pressure it will hold
certain amount ofgas. Double the
pressure and it will hold double the
amount of gas, etc. Similarly sur
'urface which would one coulomb at
! pressure of one volt would hold two
,oulombs at pressure of two volts,

The late James G. Blain never spoke
to his friends about the famous tattoo
cartoon of himself, which was the
work of the late cartoonist, Bernard
Gillian, of Judge, issued in the Presi-
dental campaign of 1884, without re-
sorting to the bitterest language 1t
Is now made known that nothing has
so stirred President Cleveland in the
cartoon line for several years as the
one Issued during the Hawaiian con-
troversy. 1t depicted great, big, fat
colored woman seated in Mr.. Cleve-
lands lap, and underneath was the
legend: queen Lii is pretty close to
Grover" The President, his friends
say, was incensed at that cartoon as
much as Mr.. Blain was over the tattoo
affair.

cracy.-Courier- journal.
There now! Only five good Dem
ocrats left in the Legislature! The
Democratic party in Kentucky is in
bad way, isn't it? Reduced to
five members of the Legislature and
the Courier-Journal.
The Courier-Journal is getting
so Incorporate in its advocacy of a
good cause that it lays itself open
to the charge of being money
mad" The CD. is hurting, in
stead of helping, the cause it would
uphold. The fact that some good
men have gone off after the wor-
ship Of silver is no reason their
Democracy should be questioned
by the Democrat who happens to
worship at the golden shrine. The
basic principles Of our party are
not involved in this quarrel. The
matter dividing the party in Ken
lucky to-day is simply a question
of eXpediency. If Mr.. Bronston
happens to believe that the passage
of law permitting the free coin
age of silver would be for the best
interest of the country, he NAV still |
do so and yet be as good a Demo
GRAFT as Mr.. Weis5inger, who fears
such a measure would utterly wreck
our finances. Both are equally hon
est in their opinions probably.
We are ready to agree with the
Courier-Journal in thinking that
the free silverites are mistaken in
their policy, but we are not ready
to call them dishonest. More, we
are compelled to admit, however
reluctantly we may be willing to
do it, that they have been quite as
temperate in their abuse of our
wing of the party as we have been
in deriding theirs. We are I'M
qualifiedly for the gold standard,
because in the face of the position
other great nations are occupying
toward silver, we cannot see how it's
free admission to our minis could
result other thon disastrously to

Particulars of the Catastrophy--
school-House Burned.

Eureka MILLS, VA, February e.
fspecial)-Your Keysville correspondent

side" farm was mistaken as to the ex-

that In addition to the large dwelling.
house, the stable, kitchen, barns, ana al
out-buildings on the place We're destroyeu.
Such was not the case. Inc d"eiiihs
first caught fire, and the terrific WIND
storm whicn was then raging, caused the
flames to spread to every part OF the
building. and this famous old residence
was in a short while heap OF asnes.
The carriage house, ice-house. and smoke
house took fire from the burning dwell
ing. and were destroyed. The strong
wind lifted a brand In the air. and car
ried II a distance Of l50 yards to the
roof OF large and valuable barn. con-
tanning corn, proyender. etc. and the de-
youring flames soon consumed II, too.
The kitchen, stable, and all other out
buildings were not burned. 1t Is not
known here whether the property was
insured. hut II Is thought there was no
insurance on anything.
The farm Is owned by Mrs. Clark, or
Nebraska, and not by the Virginia Land
Improvement Company. the latter having
sold IL some time ago.
During the high wind-storm Wednes-
day a sohool-house. near here, was de-
stroyed by fire, and there were several
forest fires, which, however, did not do
very great damage before they were
stopped.
