lpokes of wheel. An Ingenious but
simple device makes it possible to
cad electricity from the vicinity of
he axle into the wires. When the
notorman admits the current to the
machinery, part flows into the coils
lround the magnets and energies
hem. Part goes into the armature.
t is the strange influence exerted by
he electricity in those portions of
he armature wire furthest from the
Ixle and closest to the poles of the
magnets which does the work.
The most familiar magnetic phe-
4omenon is attraction. Repulsion is
lqually characteristic and potent.
like attraction repulsion is mani
ested exclusively at the poles of a
magnet, the vicinity of which is
lnown as its field" One illustra-
ion of repulsion is found in the be-
lavior of iron filings that have at

hread-like. They cling to the mag
let, but their outer ends diverge

magnetic pole attracts one of the OPP
oosite kinds, but repels one of the
anne kind. e.
A different, more obscure, but gen.
line instance of repulsion was dis
covered by a Danish Investigator,
Oersted, in 1919. He found that if
lie held wire which was not electri-
led directly above and parallel with
magnetic needle-in the position
hown by an admirable drawing
ound in Silyanus Thompsons 'Elec-
Ticity and Magnetism nothing
would happen, but when an electric
current was admitted to the wire, the
leedle would swing around until it
Sas at right angle with the wire.
The theory adopted to explain this
effect is that wire carrying a cur
ent acquires certain magnetic quail
les. One way to prove the fact is
try the following experiment: On
horizontal glass plate scatter iron
llings. Through hole in the CEN

purposes. The filings will not then
arrange themselves in any particu-
ar order. Turn on the current, jar
he plate to facilitate readjustment,
md the filings will then form tiny
loncentric circles around the wire.
This result shows that there is a re-
ZION of influence lying just outside
he wire, while it is conductor, and
lersted's discovery indicates that the
influence is of such a nature as to
Interfere with the magnetism of the

S enough of one to conform to the

festigator's experiment, the wire is

as to move freely. 1t is the latter
which changes its position, therefore.
Here is another experiment which

THE MERRY WHISTLER.

You have never met a man who
was an inveterate whistler and yet
thorough scamp.
The whistler usually is cheerful
being, and when one is cheerful he
cannot be thinking of bad things.
The cheat, the coward, the black
leg, are not addicted to the open
heart and CHEEKY whistle.
The man who will get up in the
morning and make a fire, keeping
warm with a merry strain of yam
kee Doodle Boy" hasn't sour heart
over his task.
The man who makes the coffee
and filings out the front door for the
bakery with "El Captain" thrilling
forth in one big whistle, is never
the man of mean propensities, who is
keeping tally on his service, to say,
later to his wife:
81 make the fires while you lie
abed"
Have you ever seen a man whistle
a restless baby asleep? If not, you
have something to look forward to-.
And then when the babe becomes
the small son, have you ever observ-
ed this cheerful father teaching his
craft to little Jimmie?
Through his fingers, and through
his teeth, and then the intricacies
of the liquid double thrill"
Thus, when Jimmie gets at the
kindling chopping age, he has ac-
quired one of the first principles OF
a coed and desirable mamie is a
whistler like his dad, and the envy
and emulation of every neighbor boy.

An UngentIemanIy Question.

There is a spur of the Baltimore &
Ohio railway running up the valley of
Virginia from Harper's Ferry to
Strasburg. There is no dining car at
tached to the train that makes the
trip. To supply the wants of the hun
CRY public on the coaches at this hour,
Dick Wells, an old Virginia 80 de
war" darky, has for the last 80 years
served passengers with coffee, eggs,
chicken sandwiches and pies on these
cars; every trip he is on the train,
serving lunches from basket.
Recently on their way to the unveiI-
ing of the monument at Newmarket
to the Pennsylvania soldiers who lost
their lives at this historical place were
a great many northern veterans, and
the quaint old negro reaped a rich
harvest on these trips, often receiving
double and treble what he asked for
his wares.
A northern gentleman on his way to
attend these ceremonies, while eating
a smack" of chicken and pie bought
from old Dick, says Youths Compan-
ion, began to compliment the chicken
and pastry, and finally wound up by
asking, Uncle, where do you get such
nice chickens?"
The old negro, with twinkle in his
eyes and wink at the other passen-
gers, replied. Boss, l sho knows you

be obtained only by one getting out
of the way of the other. Motion is
possible only in the wire, and this is
thrust upward or downward.
Now, mount lot of wires cross
wise on the circumference of wheel,
provide means for letting an electric
current into them, and suspend the
wheel between the poles Of two or
more magnets, and you have the arm
allure of motor. Each wire in turn
undergoes a downward push, and a
succession of these impulses makes
the wheel revolve with enough force
to do vast amount of work-all in
consequence of a skilful adaptation
of magnetic repulsion.
An electric motor is a machine for
converting electricity into mechanical
power. A dynamo converts mechan-
ical power into electricity. The axle
of a dynamo is made to revolve by a
that rotation generates electricity.
The motor and dynamo are almost
identical in form, latter, like the
former, being composed of stationary
magnets and an armature.
The principles of which use is
made in dynamo was discovered by
Faraday. He found that if wire
was moved in certain fashion oppo-
site the end of magnet, electricity
would be excited in the wire. The
mir +1aA n Oh, Il
armature of dynamo conform to his
requirements when the armature re-
wolves. The current excited in each
of them is led down toward the axle,
where it is collected by mechanism
which does not impede rotation, and
is led off for use elsewhere.
For an electric railway the cur
rent is supplied by an overhead wire,
and is taken off by the grooved wheel
and pole. All electric service calls
for a continuous route from the
power station out to the scene of
action. Accordingly, after it has
done it's work in an electric motor
under car the current is led back
to the central station by the rails on
which the cars run.
The controller" out on the front
platform, corresponds to the throttle
valve of locomotive. The power
must go through that device before
it can get into the motor. Inside of
the controller are provided several
paths for the current, each offering
different degree of resistance to the
flow. AS the motorman shifts his
lever, connections are changed from
one path to another. The paths are
so graduated thct as the lever goes
from one notch to the next the re-
sistance diminishes. At the last one,
there is no hindrance. At the first
there is a great deal.-New York

WISDOM FOR WIVES.

A country vicar was noted for his
excellent fatherly advice to young
couples he welded. He had printed
cards of advice, which he used to
distribute besides giving guidance
verbally. One of the cards was for
the man and the other for the wo
man. That to the woman ran as
follows:
When you marry him, love him.
After you marry him, study him. :
If he is honest, honor him.
If he is generous, appreciate him.
When he is sad, cheer him.
When he is cross, amuse him.
When he is laxative, listen to
him.
When he is quarrelsome, ignore
him.
If he is slothful, spurn him.
If he is noble, praise him.
If he is confidential, encourage
him.
If he is secretive, turst him.
If he is jealous, cure him.
If he cares naught for pleasure,
coax him.
If he favors society, accompany
him.
If he does you a favor, thank him.
When he deserves it, kiss him.
Let him think how well you under
stand him, but never let him know
that you manage him, says Woman's
Life.
