Electric Heating
Remarkable Variety of Uses to
Which 1t Has Been Extend
ed.


heard of in connection with weld
ing, the manufacture of carbOrundum,
acetylene and other industrial opera
tions in which large quantities OF cur
rent are required, the extent OF its sp-
plication ito minor industries and to
domestic uses is not generally known.
An exhibit Of electrical heating de-
vice. recently made showed the utility
and convenience of this extension in q
remarkable degree. It contained
forms of the electric radiator, which,
at low cost, heats small Offices, bath
rooms, snuggeries, cold corners OF
rooms, railway rooms and summer
villas on cool evenings. 1t Is instantly
available, and the amount OF heat re-
euired is regulated st will. The heat
ers are clean; they do not vitiate the
atmosphere, and being portable they
can be placed without trouble wher-
ever they are most needed.
Portable etoves or disc heaters, are
used for heating anything that can be
placed on . fat, hot surface. They are
hot in about two minutes. They are
Indispensable in the 0nursery and
the invalid's room, and are much in re-
quest for dentists Offices. The silver
and nickel-plated designs for outfits for
SIS o'clock teas" are handsome and ar
tistic. The electric current quickly
supplies the necessary heat without
the use of alcohol, matches or flame,
and also provides q stove-when the
kettle is remoyed-on which to yarn
waters or crackers, or make Welsh
rabbit. Tea kettles form q suitable
adjunct to the outfit.
The electric stew pan or egg boiler
is heater of AZ inches diameter, to
which is fitted q removable aluminium
stew pan, with q capacity of one and
one-half pints. It is intended for
light housekeeping, physicians offices,
or wherever q little food has to be
cooked. hot drink made or small
quantities of hot water are needed.
The electric coffee pot is also detach-
able from it's disc stand, which can be
used for the making OF
toast, cooking OF oatmeal, etc.
Meanwhile the coffee can be kept hot
by an electric coil heater. This is
coil made in several sizes, which heats
liquids contained in any kind of ves-
sci. For instance. it will bring glass
of water to boiling point in a very few
minutes. The electric chafing dish is
now so we'll known as to need no de-
scription. The electrical attachment
can easily be fitted to any chafing dish.
The electric fsrins boiler has many
uses. The outer vessel is OF heavy
nickel plate, the inner being OF porce-
lain. A nickled heating coil in water
bath surrounds the porcelain pot in
which the cooking is done. Three di-
visions of heat are obtained. The
electric broiler will broil Ito turn"
| in from ten to fifteen minutes one or two
poterhouse steaks, or four to six chops.
| The electric griddle cake cooker is
used in many large hotels. The cleo
trio oven has created new STANDARD
of cooking, and has probably done
more towards the extensive introduce
ton of scientific methods of preparing
| food than any other modern influence.
The hostess need no longer Lave any
| anxiety as to whether a certain favor
| tie dish will be suitably put before her
guests. There is no uncertainty about
the results of cooking by the electric
oven. They can be foretold with abso-
Lutte exactitude.
Electric plate warmers are now quite
common in hotels, steam yachts and
private dwellings. Electric hot water
urns are fitted with coils in the came
way as farina boilers. Electric smooth
ing irons for domestic, tailors', hat
ters', corset makers and laundry use,
are of great variety. 1t is said that
work in a given time, and with more
ease and comfort than is possible with
any other iron.
Electric curling irons are now sup
piled to the sleeping rooms in most
large hotels, and in the cabins of the
more important steamship lines. The
electric heating pad is used instead of
hot water bottles or poultices, or as a
foot warmer for invslids or elderly
people. The electric glue pot does
away with the fire risks involved in
the heating of the pots by gas or gaso-
line.
The electric soldering iron dispenses
with the flame or charcoal furnace,
and q similar advantage is secured by
the employment of the electric solder
ing pot, the Rabbit metal pot and the
ladle com bined and the electric pitch
kettle.-Globe-De
