Electrical Units.

On the last holiday the follow
ing questions were asked me
What is a volt? What is an
ampere? What is the ohm? I
will try to answer through our
paper.
[. What is an ampere? The
ampere denotes the amount or
quantity of current that will flow
through the resistance of one ohm
with pressure of one volt.
IL. What is volt? The volt
(called the electro-motive force)
measures the pressure that will
impel one ampere through the
resistance Of one ohm.
III. What is the ohm? The
ohm is the resistance of a circuit
through which one ampere will
pass with a pressure of one volt.
We see that the three units de-
pend upon each other. When the
current increases, the voltage in
creases. It decreases when the
resistance increases. The units
are abbreviated as follows:
Current or ampere-C.
Volt or electro-motive force-E.
Ohm or resistance-R.
To find the resistance, divide
the electro-motive force by the
current. For example, we have
circuit with a current of ten amperes
at 25 volts pressure: what is the
resistance? The r. equals %
divided by ten, or q ohms.
The current equals the volts
divided by the resistance. For
example, what amount of current,
or amperes, will flow through a
resistance of five ohms at pressure
of twenty volts? The current
equals twenty divided by five, or
four. which is the number of
amperes.
Multiply the current by the
resistance and you get the volts or
E. M. F. For example, lamp has
resistance of ten ohms. To light
this lamp at the rated candle power,
a current. of two amperes must flow
through it: what electro motive
force will be required? E. equals
ten multiplied by two, or twenty
volts, which is the number re-
qnired
Another very important unit in
electric work is called the Watt.
1t represents the strength by horse
power that current is capable Of
developing in power, heat or light.
To make it more plain we will call
it fuel, for a common question is,
How many watts will your light
ing circuit consume? Where
plant is supplying light, the charge
to consumers is reckoned by the
number of watts used. There are
different ways of finding the watt.
One ampere with one volt pressure
equals one watt; 746 watts equal
one horsepower. For example, a
fan is using two amperes at eight
volts, E. NJ. F., how many watts
will it consume? Two (amperes)
multiplied by eight {volts} equals
sixteen watts. Or if a machine
requires five amperes at ten volts,
what portion of horsepower
does it require? Five (amperes)

monopolies are Of re.
cent growth, the result of modern
business methods. This is true
where it applies to natural monop.
eolies such as railroads, gas works
telephone and telegraph lines, and
other modern combinations; but
when artificial monopolies are
considered as the result of modern
economic tendencies, the state
ment is misleading. There is
plenty of evidence in history OF
artificial monopolies and if you
will read that portion of Hume's
History of England which deals
with the reign of Queen Elizabeth
you will find that monopolies OF
this class enjoyed at that time
greater privileges than is accorded
to them by modern society.
Patents were granted as special
favors by the queen to her court
iers, whereby even the necessities
of life we're subjected to monopoly.
Salt, iron, cloth, steel, saltpeter,
lead, paper, starch, tin, sulphur
and many other staples were in
.cluded in the list of monopolized
products. A survey of present
economic conditions will show
shat none of the commodities
mentioned in the list are at pres
eent subjected to monopoly. Salt,
an article universally used, is pre-
pared for the market in many
different parts of the country and
enters freely into the field of
competition. In some mining
districts combinations OF capital
have complete control over the
output of iron ore, but this valua-
bile mineral is found in such large
quantities in so many different
parts of the country that COM
plete monopoly of it by individuals
as impossible. There is no exist
ing monopoly of the manufacture
of steel; careful analysis Of the
situation will show that the so
called "steel trust" is not a mo-
mopoly, but combination of
capitalists who are compelled to
compete with others for the sale
of their product. To show that
athe "steel trust' is not monopoly,
the fact is offered that vessels for
our navy are constructed by differ
emit contractors who have their
building plants in cities situated
on both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. The material for construc-
zion is manufactured by separate
companies doing business under
different management.
Before proceeding further, it Is
best at this point to have a clear
idea of what is the proper detini-
ton of monopoly. Students of
political economy differ greatly
upon this point, but Professor Ely
has given us a definition which for
sconciseness and brevity is per-
lhaps the best obtainable.
He says: "Monopoly implies
management or ownership by one
person or by a combination OF
persons who act as unit" If the
full meaning of this definition is
applied to the SO called "trusts, ="
it will be clearly seen that few of
them are really monopolies.
The power vested in monopolies
during Queen Elizabeth's reign
was oppressive in the extreme.
Exclusive rights were given for
the sale, control and marketing of a
commodity, and it was unlawful for
Others than the holders of a patent
to sell or market any staple pro-
tected by patent. The right to
search private dwellings for evil
dence of infringement of patent
was also granted to patentees. No
