The San Francisco call., 1897-12-19
Electric Motor Service.

The complete electric motor service
equipment was furnished by the West
inghouse Electric and Manufacturing
Company of Pittsburg, Pa, whose San
Francisco office is in the Mills build
ing.
The motors are all of the latest de-
sign, and give a striking example of
the desirable results obtainable with
electricity in the hands of its masters.
The Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
featuring Company have been in the
electrical business since it's very in
fancy, and their long experience, excel
lent engineering and graceful design
make this motor equipment not only
useful but positively ornamental.
These motors run for days or weeks at
a time without any attention, intelii-
gently and automatically taking power
from the lines in proportion to the
amount needed for the work they are
called upon to do, their speed never
changing, whether the heavy machin-
cry is running or not.
Two special slow speed fifty horse
power motors are directly connected TO
the two large presses in the basement
of the main building. These have a
countershaft and gearing to reduce the
SpteO 10 Z0U revolutions per minute.
They are mounted on vanished hard
wood frames and equipped with polish
ed marble switchboards. These are
placed within reach of the pressman.
while the motors themselves are set
below the floor, avoiding all betting and
shafting in the valuable space around
the presses. The wires are all run un-
der the floor, giving free room for
work above.
Two twenty horse power motors are
installed in the same room with the
above for operating the wetting ma
chimes. In the power house are stu
ated number of ten horse power mo-
tors. One operates the big fan for the
cooling tower, where the exhaust
steam from the engines is condensed.
Two operate the linotype machines.
One runs the machinery for the photo
zinco department, and another for the
stereotyping department. A fan mo-
tor cools the air about the engineers s
desk, and does much to keep the ma
chinery in good condition

steam engine as does that of the gen.
Grafton of electricity, and no stronger
argument in favor of the RiSdon'S Ball
engine could be brought forward than
the simple statement that it is more
universally employed, more universally
recommended and more universally
named in contracts and specifications
for this service than any other. 1t has
become the standard by which merit,
usefulness and economy are deter
mined.
Perfection of service in this branch
is secured only by the Ball engine,
which most nearly approaches perfect
automatic controllability, and the fact
that-in the most perfectly equipped
and largest electric light and railway
pIants-the Ball engines have been
given preference and are to-day in SER
vice, will be perhaps all the evidence
necessary to furnish as to their supe-
riority for this class of work.
The temporary stoppage of the mo-
tive power of an ordinary manufactur-
ing plant entails inconvenience only to
the establishment itself: but trouble
with an electric developing power for
a building like the Spreckels building
causes not only a loss in money but
annoyance, inconvenience and danger
to the public depending for its light. 1t
is therefore of the utmost Importance
that the engines upon which the entire
plant depends should be only those
that have proved themselves to be the
best.
1t is permissible to say that the Ris-
don Iron Works has always anticipated
the demand in this direction and has
been ever prepared to successfully
meet the most advanced requirements

One of the finest products of Florida
soil and climate, a genuine epicures dish,
is peanut pork. The time may come, and
there is no good reason why it should not,
when Florida will be as celebrated for its
peanut pork as Rhode Island is for its tur-
keys and England for its mutton. Even
the celebrated chestnut-fed pork of Italy
is not superior to it, nor yet the savory
goose of New Jersey, fattened on rice and
celery. Pig pork of itself is almost a:
toothsome as a roast fowl. Then when
there is impaired to it the incompatible
flavor of the nut it has a rich and nutty
quality hard to excel.

What to DO with Bad Temper.

"Starve it. Give it nothing to feed on.
When something tempts you to grow an
cry, do not yield to the temptation. 1t
may for minute or two be difficult to con-
troll yourself, but try it, Force yourself to
do nothing, to say nothing, and the rising
temper will be obliged to go down because
it has nothing to keep it up. The person
who can and does control tongue, hands,
heart, in the face of great provocation, is
hero. The world may not own him or
her as such, but God does. The Bible says
that he that ruleth his spirit is better than
he that taketh a city."-Rqormed Church
Messenger.

We ought never to be willing to live any
year just as we lived the last one No one
is striving after the best things who is not
intent on an upward and a forward move
ment continually. The circular movement
is essential, too-the going around and
around in the old grooves-routine work,
daily tasks; yet, even in this treadmill
round, there should be constant progress.
We ought to do the same things better each

NORTHFIELD. MASS.


On Wednesday of this week at II o'clock
the wedding ceremony of Elsie Duncan of
this place and Arthur Wells Yale of Phila-
delpha took place in the Congregational
church. The church had been previously
decorated in an elaborate manner, a mass
of evergreen trees having been banked en-
tirely around the front and sides OF the
church, making the church seem like a
veritabe forest of green which was most
appropriate for a Christmas wedding.
As the first strains of the wedding march
were heard the bridal party appeared in
the following order: Ushers, Arthur Phil
Ups, Paul Moody and William Pell; bride
maids, Fanny Duncan, sister of the bride,
and Helen Howe of Norwich, Conn, fol
lowed by the bride leaning upon the arm OF
her brother, Helmar Duncan. They were
met at the altar by the groom and his best
man, Frank Long of Philadelphia.
very impressive service with ring
was performed by the pastor, DR.. G. l.
Scofield. The bridal party went from the
church to the residence of the brides par
ents, where a reception was given to the
immediate friends of the bride, the serious
illness of her father rendering a more ex
tensive reception impossible. The briit
was beautifully dressed in cream white
lansdowne, cut en- train, wearing vel
and carrying bride roses. The bridemaid'
were dressed in white over nile green, car
rying bouquets of holly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yale left by an early trail
for their wedding tour. Returning they
will be at home to their friends at 100,
Park avenue, Philadelphia.
