for the fuse to be melted. Now, a mo-
tor can stand for a second or two a
current which would destroy il if an
piled for a longer period. The circuit
breaker, then takes care of heavy
overloads, and the fuse protects the
motor against. those smaller currents
which are dangerous if applied for
considerable time
When fuse blows there is generally
volatiliZation of the metal Of the fuse
and slight explosion. These explo-
sions usually cause q report and some
smoke. When the circuit breaker is
opened it draws an electric arc in
breaking the circuit, and as in this arc
a considerable amount of energy is dis
sipated in heating the air. there may be
here also something of an explosion,
but in neither case is there any danger
to the passengers when the apparatus
is properly installed. The fuse and the
circuit breaker are safety devices, the
operation of which indicates not that
there is danger to those on the car, but
that danger to the motors has been
aVerted.

Five Dollars, Worth of Sunshine.

Mrs. Alden tells in the Home Journal
the following pretty Sunshine story:
Not long ago told you of an old gen
tleman who had sent Sunshine IS to help
Iron the wrinkles out Of his heart" but
did not tell you how we spent the mon
ey, never dreaming that so many of you
would be interested. But, dear me, the
letters have poured in by the hundreds
asking for the STORY"
Il IS a pretty story and 1 am glad of
the chance to tell it. We never knew who
the old gentleman was. He simply wrote:
Il am a very old man and am sending
you S. to iron few wrinkles out OF my
heart" and signed himself "A Reader of
the Ladies' Home Journal"
The poStmark was Aspen, Col.
One of the many unwritten rules of
Sunshine is that money sent from one
state should go back to it if there is
call for good cheer from any branch or
Sunshine member there. Immediately 1
thought of band of thirty seven children
in "Beebe Draw" Col. to whom 1 had
promised library just as soon as could
manage it. Here was a chance to keep
my word. We had gathered together
fine collection of books and they were
packed in a big sugar barrel Had we
been obliged to buy them they would
have cost us more than $780, Because of
the freight expenses we had intended

almost all cases far in excess Of that
which the motor is designed to carry,
and, indeed, in a well-designed motor a
current dangerous for the motor will be
reached before the motor has been
stalled. The effect of this heavy cur
rent on the motor, if allowed to con-
tinue, is to heat the windings to a dan
gerous degree and destroy the insula-
ton, possibly setting it on fire, and it
is to prevent this occurrence, whether
due to careless handling of the car or
to unexpected causes, that the fuses are
used.
A fuse is simply a short piece of
wire of such size that it will be melted
by a current which, If allowed to flow
through the motor for any time, will
damage it. When a fuse blows, then, it
simply means that one of the safety
devices on the car has operated to pre-
vent damage to the motor. The melt
ing of the fuse opens the circuit and
cuts off the current from the motor.
To protect the car the fuse is inclosed
in a fireproof box.
There is another device for accom-
plishing this purpose, which is known
as the circuit breaker. This is switch
controlled by an electro magnet, which
opens whenever the current reaches a
certain dangerous value.
Breaking the Circuit.
This mechanism is now generally in
stalled upon electric cars in addition
to the fuse. 1t is often placed on the
roof of the platform over the motor
mans head, where it is easily reached,
and 1t is set to operate at higher
current value than the fuse, because
the circuit breaker acts almost inStan-
taneously. while it takes little time

The international Journal of Ethics
contains an article called rs Vivisection

papers on equally serious subjects by
well-knOwn thinkers.
The Globe Quarterly Review lacks its
old-time vigor, owing says it's editor
James Henry Thorne, to his illness,
which prevents him from doing justice to
the subjects he treats.
The BOOklOver a New York magazine
Of great beauty, has devoted it's opening
article and many Illustrations to Jean
Leon GerOme. The remainder of the
magazine contains many articles Of a high
literary quality:
The April number Of the St Paul Medi-

terest to the medical profession, and
many good papers from the pens Of
well-known local physicians.
What to Eat for April. in its gay Easter
dress, is very attractive and will appeal

information its contains and the hints
and ideas for the table it's offers.

katavama Studied at Iowa coIIene

Japan's distinguished sociologist, Sen
Joseph Katayama. laid the foundation
for his great labOrs in behalf of humanity
in Iowa and imbibed the first principles of
his altruistic social views at the feet Of
Prof. Parker. at Iowa College, at Grinnell
When the young Japanese left Iowa col
Iege as a graduate with the class of '92
his friends and associates expected much
of him. for he had shown himself the
pOsseSsor of an unusual mind and of a
notable aggrossiveness and optimism.
Sen Joseph Katayama is now the head
OF the most noted social settlement in
Japan. Kingsley hail. Tokyo. which he
founded; and he is recognized as one of
the leading sociological workers of the
world.
This noted Japanese has had an inter
estfng career that reads much like a ro-
nance. He was born of a peasant fam
lily in Japan and his education was OBJ
tained through his own efforts, against
almost overwhelming odds. Philadelphia

Robert Carelier," by William Dana Or
cult, romance of La Sale. Mr.. Or
cutt has woven the dramatic events or
the explorer life into a vivid and beau
tiful story in which the nobility of the
theme is matched by the dignity and ad-
mirable finish of its literary treatment
The scenes shift from old France to new
France. where La Sale conceived his great
plan, and where his love story began.
Then follow sharply cOntrasted pictures
of stern priyation and struggle in the
forest wilderness, and of the glittering,
frivolous court at Versailles.
To stimulate is the idea with which
Flowers of the Fort has been written
by Charles HemsTeet. The author be-
lieves that a book should be more stimu
lating than a Martini" and that the
stimulation should last. He thinks his
book will act as an intellectual cock
tail" 1t is a romance of the seventeenth
century that carries, amid the clash of
arms, a poetic love story. James Pott
& Co. will bring it out soon.
Miss Ellen Glasgow's fine novel. 1.-THE
Deliverance." presents one of the few
cases in literature where lies become
virtues. Mrs Christopher Blake, the
mother of the heroine. is a Virginia gen.
tlewOman, whose family fortunes were
wrecked after the war. She loses her
sight. Her devoted children keep her in
ignorance of the change in the family
fortunes and for twenty years she lived
upon the lies told her by her family. AS
Miss Glasgow expresses it: For her the
COnfederacy had never fallen: the quiet
Of her dreamland had been disturbed by
no invading army, and the 800 slaves,
which had in reality been scattered like
chaff before the wind she still saw in
