The Pr1g and His Cane.

In the number of the Tatler for Oc-

is part of the dress of prig" (this, by

prevalent that .priggishness' is a mod

a rural squire in town is sketched who
is the prototype Of one of the pavement
nuisances. His arms naturally swang
at an unreasonable distance from his
sides, which, with the advantage of a
cane that he Sbrandished in a great va
riety of irregular motions, made it un-
safe for anyone to walk within several
yards Of him" And under date Of De-

OF "a lively, fresh-colored young man.

ELECTRICAL TERMS.
They Are Simple Enough, Says an an
Authority, Once You Get the
Hang of Them.

A consulting electrical engineer, who
was asked to put one of the less CONF
mon electrical terms in plain language,
said: Il am frequently resorted tosfor
just such explana tions,4 and nothing
surprises me more than the haziness
which still exists in the minds Of even
intelligent folks in regard to the Sim
plest. electrical terms. TosInostspeOple
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, 4 sampere, resist
ance, selectro-motive force ETC., and
fix their meaning, once for all, in the
mind. A man who knows me only by
reputation wrote to me the other day
that he had 8dole this with much sat
isfaction to himself, as Ehe has now a
far more intelligent idea of electrical
doings than he had before. But still,
he said, from time to time some electri-
cal words creep into the daily press,
which conveyed nothing to him. He
mentioned as one Of these, the term
watt hour. Now, this is quite simple.
1t means the power developed when
44.25 foot-pounds Of work are done per
minute, or 1875 foot-pounds persecond.
"a Afoot-pound is the amount Of workrez
quired to raise one pound vertically
through Of one foot. Whenth this
is, figured down so as to be defined in
horsepower, which is und by
every one, It; can ss31fer' no difficulty, and
If anyone to whom the word watt is
pulling will remember that q watt is
the 1-746th Of o horsepower he will
have no more uncertainty about it.
Having gotten so far, it is an easy grad
alton to the watt hour, hssiis the
term employed to indicate the expendi-
ture Of an electrical power Of one watt
for an hour. In other words, the ener-
gy represented ~ a watt hour is equal
to that expended in raising y pound to
a height Of Z, 1854 feet. An even easier
way Of fixing it IS to remember that two
watt hours correspond almost exactly
