MT. Barrie's Thirst for Fame.

Chicago News.
 James N Barrie hes just passed his 41st birthday. Twenty-Five years ago he was sorawling or bit of paper at DunIfrics Academy something like this: When you read the following article I think 1 hear you exclaim: Who Is this grate literary genus appearing before OUT eyes anr takin' our hearts by storln?'" Y" Whether the article in the school magazine every took anybody by storm or not is not known. MT. Barrie seemed a long way from fame and eor- tune then. But he found an inspiring friend in the village tailor. who taught Tim to repeat the lines: What can I do to be forever known. and make the age to conc my oWn?" MT. Barrie made up his mind that the thin for him to do was to write and he took up his pen and wrote himself into fame.
 But Barrie did not find fame. like Byron, ir night. It was slow growth. It began in garrCt. lis first effort. while yet q mere lad. reached the publisher in three volume novel. The puplisher thought the writer clever lady" and was ready to pub lsh the book for 100 pounds: but Bar rie's autograph was not worth 100 pounds to him in those days. and his first book remained wrapped up some where In brown paper in the obscurity of his Kirriemuir horoe

 M HOME STUDY CIRCLE

Brushes A and B are their terminals Tor connecting the circuit of lamps. An essential factor in the success of this machine consists in distributing the sparkling over several commutators. Fig. P shows the construction of the original cast iron core of armature; deep grooves were cut in the metal to reduce eddy currents. Fig. 23 shows present style, being made of a long strip of band iron. with II-shaped pieces inserted at the proper intervals. With this armature not only was the efficiency increased, but also the out put: the wrought iron improved the magnetic circuit, but also permitted a higher speed of rotation, so that what had been a 16-light machine became capable of operating 25. The "4O-light- err became 65.
 The regulator consists of variable resistance or carbon plates that serves as by-path, or shunt, to the field magnates; pressure is brought to bear on the plates by means of solenoid and movable core, or sucking" magnet inserted in the main circuit. Too strong a current presses the plates more tightly together, thereby deviat- ing a greater portion Of the current from the field magnates ;too weak a current relaxes the pressure. and, by compelling a greater portion to flow around the nagnates increases their strength to the requisite amount. This form of regulator will maintain fair ly constant current between the limit of half load and full load. Below half load the field magnates are so far from the condition of saturation that the machine is unable and violent nuctua- tions of the current often result.
 Originally a drum armature was used extremely tedious to wind. One Is shown in Fig. 28 For ten years or more the ring armature. shown in Fig. 27. has been the standard. The coils are narrow, being wound easily on a form. then slipped into the core through a removable section. The orl- ginal drawing of this ingenious con struction was made by the writer. AS thus made the insulation of the wind ings is most effectual; even in case or 'burn-out" a new coil can be replaced in the station. With the drum arma- ture the entire winding had usually 10 be removed and. thrown away, taking for its reconstruction .d case of a oo- light machine, 4b0 pounds or wire anu two weeks time by sklilful Winoer.
 Above the 9-light size the commuta- . tor originally failed: the current would flash around from one brush to the op- posite. extinguishing the lights and en- dangering the machine. Prof. Ihoinsoh met this difficulty by heroicaily piow- ing out the sparks. Between the coii- mutator and the bearing IS ceh'ri- fugaI blower: by it gusts of air are directed upon the tips of the upper and lower brushes. Though the sparks are quite vigorous and shoY their resent ment At being thus rudely blown out by emitting considerable noise, their action does not seem to burn the com mutator this is the only commutator that it has been found practicable to oil .., ns

ance. the hea, Increases the electrical resistance of the wires, unsolders the joints. increases the friction at the bearings and scorches the insulation on the wires. By subdividing the iron the continuity of the circuits is inter- rupted and the heating largely avoided. Early armatures were constructed with cores of annealed iron wire, but the present method is to use very thin annealed sheet iron separated by >tis- sue paper or japan varnish. The plane of the sheets must be at right angles to the direction of the active wires.
 A second important principle is that of "armature reaction" Iron is al- ways magnetized if a current of cleo tricity flows around it; the armature core is no exception; its current mag netize it. producing poles at those DOT tions of the surface whose coils connect directly with the brushes. If the lines of force of the field magnet act in a horizontal direction and the brushes are set in the position for maximum e. m. f. the armature poles will be in a vertical line: if the brushes are moved forward in the direction of TO- tation this line will be made oblique. Resolve this line into two components. one vertical and one horizontal. and 1t will be seen that the latter opposes the field mapnatetism By making the armature strong magnetically this op- posing magnetomotive force can be made of considerable consequence, ana by giving the brushes more or less lead" reduce the resulting e. m. f. or the dynamo to almost any extent. This principle Is of great value in regulating arc dynamcs. Further, the shiftlng or the brushes varies the effective number of the armature wires just as varying the location of the eccentric of an en- zine determines the effectiveness Of crank.
 For economy of the line wiring arc lamps are commonly places in series
 that is. the number which the dy- namo Is capable of operating IS ar ranged in a single circuit, the same current going in turn through all. The current required for the entire circuit is that required for one lamp, ten am peres for a standard 2,0OO candle power light. About forty five volts Is required to drive the current through each lamp
 a common size of machine supplies 5o lamps. thus generating 225o volts. Ine circuits are from five to ten miles long. their resistance appreciable. and hence the dynamo is required 10 gene
 rate a total Q. m. f. Of at least z'oVo volts. If some of the la nps are turned off the total e. m. f. must be reduced or the current will increase 70 an amount beyond +N0 -Nnaclty

or the WlIt~ the dynamo or lamps.
 Three methods are possible for ef- fecting the requisite reduction-the field can be weakened. the brushes shifted forward or the speed reduced. Since one engine may be driving a number of dynamos. each requiring in- dependent regulation, variation of speed is impossible. Of the other two methods the Brush Electric Company of Cleveland O.. adopted the first, and the Thomson Houston Electric Com pany of Lynn, Mass. adopted the sec ond. Since three -fourths of all the arc lamps in the world are operated from one or the other of these types of ma chimes. a rather detailed description of each will be appropriate. Other meth ods of operating the electric arc will, however. not be overlooked.
 Charles F Brush was a pioreeer in practical electric lighting. Until 1878 every arc lamp required a separate dynamo; this necessity na<urally made the arc more of curiosity than a gen. eral illuminant. Station managers are now worried because the largest prac- ticable arc dynamos will light but 125 to 150 lamps; 50-light machines are of the most common size.
 The armature is made in form of a narrow ring somewhat like the origin al FaClnnOtt. put with the spaces TOT wires cut on the lateral faces instead of on the outer circumference; double field ma agnate is provided. the arrnature rotating under the combined influence of two north poles facing each other on one side of the shaf> and two south poles on the other side. Instead Of the winding being continuous with loops led to many commutator segments. like Gramme's or Siemen's type, it is grouped in comparatively few coils but each of a large number of turns; each coil is joined in series with its opposite and tho two external ends of each set led through a hole in the shaft to a separ9te two~segement com mutator; hence there are as many com nuts tors as there are pairs of coils. but the commutators are grouped in pairs and the current foWs through the hairs in seVies.

commutator is not reliable, the air blast cannot always blow out an arc al 5000 volts potential. The General Electric Company, representing the combined interests of the Thomson Houston. Edison, Brush and several other companies, has adopted the Brush form for 100. 125 and 150 lights, and use a regulator that combines the features of variation of field strength and shifting brushes. Lately 1t is announc- ed that the Thomson Houston form was to be abandoned altogether the Brush construction being cheaper, more accessible for repairs and smaller.
 With the expiration of fundamental patents on regulators various other concerns have begun to make large arc dynamos, differing merely in detail and general appearance from their prede- cessors. Attempts have been made to produce machines that would operate a large number of arc lamps-several hundred-but serious obstacles are pre- sented. Such a large number cannot be operated in a single circuit. as the potential would be too high for the commutators and too dangerous for the attendants. too deadly to be conducted through the streets. A dynamo cannot operate several independent circuits in multiple-that Is, a 40-ampere machine could not be constructed to maintain four circuits of 100 lamps each. Aside from the increased difficulties in com muting the current the needs of the four circuits would not be coincident; hence the regulator would be inopera- tive. The Westinghouse Electric Com pany once thought they had solved the problem by use of alternating currents; their system allowed for running an indefinite number of lamps and their construction of dynamos. transform CTS and regulators was seemingly per feet. Unfortunately the system failed from the lack of satisfactory lamps. To some extent arc lamps are operated on circuits for incandescent lamps. but such practice increases the line losses and often causes fickering, In some cities. notably St Louis. alternating current arc lamps are very numerous, operated exclusively from dynamos and transformers that could equally well supply incandescent lamps. but of the economy and character of the service the writer has received con- dieting information. The latest and |. rgest electric light stations are being equipped as usual with direct constant-current. series arc dynamos.

DYNAMos FOR ARC LIGHTS.


 The first dynamo electric machines were used to operate arc lamps. Some Of the principles of construction anu operation are common to all types of electrical generators and wlli be briefly explained.
 It was early found that an arma- ture core could not be made out of a single piece of iron: the heat develop ed in 1t was excessive. Nature makes no distinction between iron and cop per in generating an electromotlVe force. If lines of force cut the iron core the e. m. f. will act in the same direction as in the copper wires: in a solid core local current called eddy currents will circulate along curvey paths in short circuit which means that they will be of large volume ana produce disastrous heating: such cur rents require ener~-- for their mainten-
