 Ans.-My education in the electrical field has been somewhat limited, but will try to explain by illustration in such way that you can grasp some idea of the subject. If I fail, you can attribute my lack of knowledge to lim- ited experience.
 1st-One should know that dynamo IS machine for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy by nov ing conductors relative to magnetic field.
 2d-An electric motor is machine TOT converting electrical energy into mecnanlcal energy by the relative mo- ton between conductors carrying a current and a magnetic field. As far as the mechanical construction goes, dy namos and motors are almost identi- cal, and the operation of the motor is exac tly the reverse to that of the dv namo. Dynamos and motors may be

With many pull and grunt he got his 24O pounds distributed around into the chairs and lit cigar.

divided into two general classes, viz; direct and alternating currents. I have given the above description so as to enable you to follow my illustration.
 Suppose. for illustration, we use the term centrifugal pump" synonymous ly with ''direct current" and the ''Cornish pump" with "alternating current" and what do we have? In the centrifugal pump we have limited height to which we can raise column of water. or limited pressure can be maintained, irrespective of the power which is driving the pump. Up to a certain height or pressure the eflicien- cy can be made greater by reducing the friction, but when a certain point is reached nothing more can be accom- plished, even though the power driv- ing the pump be increased ten-fold.
 The same can be said of the "direct current" a certain pressure can be maintained consisting of so many volts Gin the pump the pressure is SO many pounds per square inch) the efficiency Of said pressure can be made greater by reducing inc friction to minimum (which is done in the insulation and size of wire used for transmitting the force) up to certain point, then as in the case Of the centrifugal pump, noth- ing more can be accomplished from the dynamo furnishing the power under discussion. This is due to the fact of sparkling at the commutator. "A com. mutator consists of a number of copper bars, insulated from each other by means of mica, the bundle of bars be- ing clamped firmly into place and turned up to form a true cylindrical surface.) In the case of the centrifu- gal pump, instead'of sparkling we have the law,->of. centrifugal force which governs the height or pressure that can be maintained.
 We may add that current of cleo tricltyis similar to current of water flowing through pipe, the larger the pipe the less friction to overcome and a saving in power to drive the same. The same thing holds good in current of electricity; the smaller the wire the greater the friction and the increase of power to carry or drive the same.
 f Taking up the Cornish pump," O, the alternating current" differen, state of affairs exists. The pressure ir the Cornish pump. or the height te which column of water can be raised depends upon the power behind the pump. It resolves itself into the question of how many pounds of steam can be raised to drive the piston back and forth in, the cylinder, and in thi.

motive force in the secondary and this force depends upon the number of turns in the secondary coil.
 Perhaps you can understand the working Of a transformer by calliag your attention to the driving pulley on shaft If the belt wheel connecting the machine to be driven is smaller than the one on the shaft, the machine will be given greater velocity and in proportion to their respective diame- ters, or vice versa.
 If the secondary turns are less than the primary the secondary electromO- tive force will be less than the primary. or vice versa. If the transformer had 1900 primary turns and 50 secondary turns, it's ratio of transformation would be 20 to l, and the secondary voltage would be one-twentieth that of the pri- mary.
 As a rule, when transformers burn out it is owing to the fact of the pres sure being too great for the wire, thus causing it to burn out and destroy the circuit. In many instances it has set fire to buildings when the wires have not been properly insulated.

way keep up steady pressure in the water main. The question of friction enters into the efficiency of the work, as in the case of the centrifugal or direct current.
 The dynamo should be looked upon as machine for maintaining an cleo trlcal pressure rather than as a ma chine for generating current. A pump does not manufacture water-it merely maintains head or pressure that causes water to flow whenever an outlet is provided for it to flow through. In the same way, dynamo maintains pressure, and this pressure will set up current whenever the cir cult is closed, so that the current can flow.
 The alternating dynamo is about the same thing as the Cornish pump; one gives great pressure of water and the other great pressure of electricity, which is governed by the driving power of the engine
 The current alternating from the dynamo is similar to the piston being driven back and forth in the cylinder of Cornish pump and there is no commutator to limit the pressure IS in the direct current. A pressure of over 300 or 600 volts cannot be had in the direct current without damage to the dynamo, but in the alternating, pres sure Of from 5000 to 10000 volts can be generated. If still higher pressure IS required for transmitting long dis tances, as from the power plants at Niagara Falls to Buffalo and other cities, it can be easily obtained by the use of transformers.
 A transformer is a contrivance. or machine, for changing an alternating current from a higher to lower pres sure, or vice versa, with a correspond ing change in current Transformers used for raising the voltage are known as step-up transformers: those used for lowering the pressure are known as step-dOwn transformers.
 The transformers consists of a lami- hated (layers one over another) iron core upon which two coils of wire are wound. These coils are entirely dis tlnct, hrving no connection with each other. One of these coils called the primary tor feeder) is connected to the mains; the other coil called the second- ary is connected to the circuit to which the current is delivered. When cur rent is sent through the primary it sets up magnetism in the core which rapidly alternates with the changes in the current. This changing magnet ism sets up an alternating electro
