Among the battered lotGam and jetsam
that has accumulated in a secondhand
store not a great distance from jackson
square is shabby round table with a curl
GUS secret and no doubt a still more curl
Gus history The top was once covered
with green billiard cloth, which now is
worn to tatters and discloses a steel plate
set in the center and perhaps ten inches
square.
The whole top is loose and can be re-
moved, revealing an interior space con-
tanning a horseshoe magnet wound with
wire and connected with an armature
very much like that Of an ordinary tele-
graphic instrument. A close examination
shows an insulated wire running down
one of the legs to a small knob or button,
protruding on the outside. When the top
is in place. the steel plate rests directly
over the magnet. This strange device is
explained clearly enough by its present
owner 1t Is a dice table, " he said, ION
which a lot Of money has been won When
1t was in order there was a good sized
battery inside, connected with the magnet.
When the knob on the leg was pressed, the
current was turned on, and that made the
steel plate magnetic The dice they used
with it had small metal disks on one face,
and as long as the current was on they
naturally fell that side down. When the
knob was released, they would fall any
way they CHANGED to come, SO all that was
necessary for the operator to do was tc
keep his knee on the button and he could
absolutely control his play. New Or

ELECTRIC TERMS.
They Are simple Enough Once You
Get the Hang of Them.

They Are Simple Enough Once You
Get the Hang of Them.
A consulting electrical engineer who
was asked to put one of the less common
electrical terms in plain Language said;
g l 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 simplest 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 com
mon of them, such as volt, ampere,
Resistance, 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 done this with much satisfaction
to himself as he has now far more in
telligent idea of electrical doings than he
had before. But still, he said, from time
TO time some electrical words creep into
the daily press which convey 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 4425 foot
pounds of work are done per minute, or
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 un-
derstood by every one, it can offer no diff
Guilty, and if any one to whom the word
watt is puzzling will remember that q
watt Is the one-seven- hundred and forty
sixth of horsepower he will have no more
uncertainty about it. Having got so far,
| it is an easy graduation 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 a watt hour is equal
to that expended in raising pound to a
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 height of one mile.
1.-THE understanding Of such terms
opens out some very curious facts to the
uninitiated For instance, a certain dry
battery, weighing g. 38 pounds, was known
to yield lou watt hours If this force were
applied raising the battery itself, it
would lii it to height of over ten miles
"AgaiIl, in one hour the energy translat-
ed in an ordinary 16 candle power lamp
Weighing about an ounce would raise that
lamp to height of 400 miles at n velocity
of nearly seven miles per minute. Yes,
it pays man to expend n little pains on
mastering the ordinary electrical terms.
