The county papers are generally repro

torially indorsing 1t. 1t is generally taken as
an expression in opposition to the methods
employed in electing Senator Martin, who
was then comparatively unknown TO the
state at large, against FitZhugh Lee, a
popular choice of the people.
MIR. Martin declines to discuss the move
but it is generally understood and not de-
MED by his friends that he is opposed now
as he has always been to changing the
method of selecting United States senator's

to him if not gotten up in direct opposition
to his reelection.
The far-reaching influence of the move is
already felt in the almost unanimous SEN
timent with which it is received in the
state at large. and Mr.. Martin is too shrewd
a politician to declare his opposition TO the
VIII of the people. He cannot however

PUZZLING ELECTRIC TERMS.
Their Meaning is Easily Known by
Way of Comparison.


Way of Comparison.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A consulting electrical engineer, who was
asked to put one of the less common cleo
trical terms in plain language, said: Il am
frequently resorted to for just such expla-
nations, and nothing surprises me more
than the haziness which still exists in the
minds of even intelligent folks in regard to
the simplest electrical terms. To most peo-
pie the electrical units are still mere Greek,
and comparatively few go to the trouble to
take hold of the more common of them,
such as volt, 'ampere, resistance cleo
tro-motive force etc. and fix their mean
ing, once for all in the mind. A man who
knows me only by reputation wrote to me
the other day that he had done this with
much satisfaction to himself, as he has
now a far more intelligent idea of electri-
cal dolngs than he had before.
But still, he said, from time to time
some electrical words creep into the daily
press which conveyed nothing to him. He
mentioned one of them the term watt
hour. Now, this is quite simple. The watt
is the unit of electric power. 1t means the
power developed when A. % foot-pounds of
work are done per minute, 1875 foot
pounds per second. A foot-pound is the
amount of work required to raise one
pound vertically through a distance of one
foot When this is figured down so as to be
defined in horsepower, which is under
stood by every one it can offer no diff
Guilty; and if any one to whom the word
watt is puzzlng will remember that watt
is the 1746th of a horsepower he will have
no more uncertainty about it. Having got
ten SO far, it is an easy gradation to the
watt hour, which is the term employed to
indicate the expenditure of an electrical
power of one watt for an hour. In other
words, the energy represented by watt
hour is equal to that expended in raising
pound to height of 2.654 feet. An even
easier way of fixing it is to remember that
two watt hours correspond almost exactly
to raising pound to a height of one mile.
The understanding of such terms opens
out some very curious facts to the unini-
tiated For instance, certain dry battery.
weighing 6.3S pounds was known to yield
130 watt hours. If this force were applied
to raising the battery ITSELF it would lift it
to a height of over ten miles, Again. in
one hour the energy translated in an ordi-
nary sixteen-candle-power lamp weighing
about an ounce would raise that lamp to a
height of 400 miles at a velocity of nearly
seven miles per minute Yes, 1t pays man
to expend a little pains on mastering the
ordinary electrical terms"

BLACK AND WHITE.
Some of the Smartest Bodices Are
Made in These CoIors.
From Harper's Bazaar.


Some of the smartest bodices of the sea-
son are those in all black, all white or in
the two colors combined. All-white fancy
waists are necessarily perishable, and can
not be worn after the first freshness has
vanished: therefore the other extreme is
now being tested. A fancy black silk waist
is great boon. since almost every ward
robe includes a black silk skirt or a cloth
jacket-and-skirt costume, to which such a
garment viii form useful third part.
The prettiest of these waists are combined
with some bit of white; it may be a yoke
or fancy piping. Where white or
pale-toned yoke or vest is introduced
the effect is extremely handsome. In some
instances the trimming or contrasting color
Is restricted to the collar and fancy sleeve
