4erhe Little Drininter,.,, C,hu

The Aud LIGHT church at Kirriemuir
(Thrums), Scotland, made famous by
j. M. Barrie, seems to have fallen upon
evil days. William c. Conn, the 'little
minister" has resigned because the old
er members Of his congregation said
he was ''too broad" having preached
in the pulpits Of other denominations.
Although the presbytery acquitted him
of all blame, Mr.. Conn could not be per-
suaded to remain. There are, by the
fay, only 81 churches in Scotland and
two in Ireland which are now included
in the "synod Of United Original Sc
ceders," fact which reminds the Phil
adelphia Press of the reply made by an
old Scot when asked after the welfare
of his church: "Weel," he said, I'VE ken

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

A consulting electrical engineer, who
was asked to put one of the less COM
mon electrical terms in plain language,
said: II am frequently resorted to for
just such explanations, 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. To most people
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,' resist
ance,' 'electro-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 doae this with much sat
isfaction to himself, as he 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.
The watt is the unit of electric power.
1t means the power developed when
44.25 foot-pounds of work are done per
minute, or 1875 foot-pounds per second.
A foot-pound is the amount of work re-
quired to raise one pound vertically
through distance of one foot. When this
is figured down so as to be defined in
horsepower which is understood by
every one, it can offer no difficulty, and
II anyone to whom the word watt is
puzzling will remember that watt is
the 1-746th of horsepower he will
have no more uncertainty about it..
Having gotten SO far, it is an easy grad
alton to the watt hour which is the
term employed to indicate the expendi-
ture Of an electrical power Of one watt
for an hour. In otner words, the ener-
gy represented by d watt hour is equal
to that expended in raising a pound to
height of 1854 feet. An even easier
way Of fixing it is to remember that two
watt hours correspond almost exactly

Sunlight ana Health.

Sunlight, says the Lancet, has we'll
known effect upon the life of patho-
genie organisms. Direct sunlight will
kill tubercle bacilli in few hours or
perhaps in few minutes; whereas
they will live for days if exposed to a
very strong diffused daylight. The ex-
hilarating effect of burst of sunshine
in the spring is probably not due to
mere luminosity, but to an increased
actinic action, a chemical action which
we cannot very well explain, but which
everyone feels. In estimating, there
fore, the value of health resort, the
amount of this actinic value in the sun
shine ought to be taken into account,
no less than the number of days upon
which the sun shines during the month
or the year.
Griggs courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1885-1902, 1899-04-27

to raising a pound to height of one
mile. The understanding of such terms
opens out some very curious facts to the
uninitiated. For instance, certain
dry battery, weighing 6.3s pounds was
known to yield 100 watt hours. If this
force were applied to raising the bat
terry itself, it would lift it to a height
of over ten miles. Again, in one hour
the energy translated in an ordinary
is candle-power lamp weighing about
an ounce would raise that lamp to a
height of 400 miles at a velocity of near
~ seven miles per minute. Yes, it pays
man to expend little pains on mas
tering the ordinary electrical terms -

Or d toy Beelzebub has sent US from afar?
We've thought about you. sighed about

Fought about you. cried about you.
Stayed up nights and lied about you, puzzle

Leave US topsy-turvy, guessing what to say

Now we hate you, then caress you.
Now berate you, then we bless you,
But our lives are stale unless you keep us
in stew.
Some there are who really dread you,
Some who long to WOO and wed you,
Some would Danish you forever to a distant

Artists paint you, poets verse you.
Bishops saint you, cynics curse you,
But "fer better or for worse" you still are
In demand.
There are times you sadly vex us.

We can never do without you. SO we let you

Louisiana Industrial Exposition,

The work OH the grounds and build
sitiOn has progressed with wonderful
rapidity since the management took
possession of the grounds and buildings.
An army of wOrkmen have been for
weeks actively engaged and the work
is now practically completed. The his
toric fair grounds situated in the lower
part of New Orleans, has undergone
a great change. and one marvels at the
rapidity with which buildings may he
erected in these progressive times.
Where only a few months ago nothing
but an open field existed, there 10Y
stands buildings which seem to have
sprung up in q night. The first build
ing claiming ones attention is the new
entrance building, situated at the en-
trance to the grounds. The building,
while not imposing or grand, isneSerthe-
less pretty. Through the centre OF it
runs an arched way through which Wis
itors will enter and leave the grounds.
On the right of this passage will be the
offices of the Exposition and on the
left the waiting O and check room,
etc. Over the entrance OF the arched
passage, and forming the top OF the
building, is a handsome art design WITH
the words Louisiana State Fair 1892
worked in with different colored
glasses.
just beyond the entrance building to
the left is situated the Main exhibit
building. This building Is of brick 300
/ feet long and 100 feet wide and two
! stories in heighth. The ground -four
| will be devoted to the exhibition OF
| manufactured products; the second
! floor to the Arts and Sciences and Wo-
I mans Exhibit. The exhibits are now
/ being installed, and a vast amount OF
merchandise and decorative material is
in evidence.
The Machinery building is reached by
a covered and paved walk on either
side of which are flowers and plants.
The machinery building is 200 feet long
and 30 feet wide. Here will be placed
the mechanical and engineering exhib-
it's. These are being installed with great
energy. One sees Railroad tracks III
course of construction and every kind
of machinery placed in position. All
the spaces in the various buildings have
been disposed of, and every line OF bus
mess will be represented. The amuse-
nents Of the Exposition are being
planned on a large scale and promises
to afford entertainment of the highest
order. The peace Jubilee Celebration
to take place on the opening day May
9Th, will be the greatest public demon,
stration which the State has witnessed
in many years. All the secret. civic
and military organizations in New Or
leans will take part and prominent SOL
diers and statesmen have been invited
to participate.
The management of the Exposition
feel hinhly encouraged and confident
that the Fair will be a complete success.
Excursion pnrties are being formed in
all quarters which will bring large
crowds into New Orleans to enjoy the
Fairs.
