tire run a wire. Before admitting any
current, tap the plate gently for test
purposes. The filings will not then
arrange themselves in any particu-
lar order. Turn on the current, jar
the plate to facilitate readjustment,
and the filings will then form tiny
concentric circles around the wire.
This result shows that there is re-
gion OF influence lying just outside
the wire, while it is a conductor, and
Oersted's discovery indicates that the
influence is of such a nature as to
interfere with the magnetism Of the
needle. One repels the other, just as
one magnet in a certain position
would repel another magnet. While
the wire is not the same kind of mag
net the student is accustomed to, it
is enough of one to conform to the
law of repulsion. In the Danish in
vestigator's experiment, the wire is
held fast and the needle is mounted
so as to move freely. 1t is the latter
which changes its position, therefore.
Of course, If it were possible to have
the wire easily movable and yet con-
duct a current, and if the magnet
were fixed, then the wire might be
expected to yield.
Here is another experiment which
confirms that suspicion, and which
relates a little more closely to the
construction of a motor. Lay an
electro-magnet down on its side, or,
what is better, lay two in horizontal
position, in line with each other.
Aim the north pole of one directly at
the south pole of the other. Leave

which is stationary, is composed of
electro magnets. The central part,
known as the armature, is round,
like drum, and rotates. Being
mounted on the car axle, the revo-
luton of the armature propels the
car itself.
An electromagnetic is a bar of soft
iron surrounded by coil of copper
wire, through which an electric cur
rent runs. 1t behaves like any other
magnet SO long as the flow continues,
but loses it properties when the cur
rent is shut off. Just as with the
common needle, there is a north and
south pole to an electromagnetic, the
polarity depending on the direction
In which the electric current flows
around it. For certain work that

telegraphy-it is usual to put two
such objects side by side, the north
pole of one pointing the same way
rs the south pole of the other. For
other work they are placed end to
end except for a gap between The
north pole Of one then points directly
toward the south pole of the other.
This is the plan followed in the ar
rangement Of an electric motor. The
latter may be composed of two or
more magnets, and the gap between
them-sometimes called the field"
is barely big enough to accommo-
date the armature.
Ii one could examine an armature,
he would see that it was composed
largely OF copper wires. These are
wound on ring-shaped frame,
which forms the outer part of the
armature. At intervals they reach
down to the axle, something like the

magnetic pole attracts one of the OPP
posite kinds, but repels one of the
same kind.
A different, more obscure, but gem
uine instance of repulsion was dis
covered by a Danish investigator,
Oersted, in 1919. He found that If
he held wire which was not electri-
fed directly above and parallel with
b magnetic needle-in the position
shown by an admirable drawing
found in Silvanus Thompson's "Elec-
tricity and Magnetism =" nothing
would happen, but when an electric
current was admitted to the wire, the
needle would swing around until 1t
was at a right angle with the wire.
The theory adopted to explain this
effect is that wire carrying q cur
tent acquires certain magnetic quail
ties. One way to prove the fact is
to try the following experiment: On

short gap between them. Arrange
single horizontal wire at right an
giles to them in the gap in such a
way that it can easily rise or fall
without losing its connections. So
long as no current flows in it there
will be no difficulty in making it stay
at any desired level. Now send a
current through it, and it will move
bodily either up or down, the direc-
ton depending on that of the cleo
tricity. The effect here is not ex-
actly the same as in the needle ex-
pertinent, but it is interpreted as a
modified form of repulsion. An in
reference occurs between the invisi-
BILE magnetic envelope of the wire
and the unseen force emanating from
the poles of the magnets. Relief can
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 a lot of wires cross
wise on the circumference of a 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 a vast amount of work-all in
consequence of skilful adaptation
of magnetic repulsion.
An electric motor is machine for
converting electricity into mechanical
power. A dynamo converts mechan-
ical power into electricity. The axle
of dynamo is made to revolve by a
steam engine or water wheel, and
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 a certain fashion oppo-
site the end of magnet, electricity
would be excited in the wire. The
cross wires on the drum-shaped
armature of a 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 its work in an electric motor
under a 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 a 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 that as the lever goes
from one notch to the next the re-
sistance diminishes. At the last one,
there is no hindrance. At the frs
there is q great deal.-New Yor
Tribune.

OBJECT TO THE COTS.
strikers Appeal to Chicago Police
Chief to Interfere.

Chicago. Aug. 12.-The first mild ex-
citerrent of the strike occurred when
aeon from a State street department
store tried to deliver a load of cots at
the Western Union building 1t was
promptly stopped by pickets, despite
the presence of a Gordon of policemen.
The driver was member of the team
ters' union and did not deliver the cots.
Soon afterward a committee of union
lists went over to the city hall to protest
against the placing Of cots in the West
srn Union building.
TT is against the building ordinances
of the city, their spokesman said to
chief Shippy. I'VE have it from Build
ing Commissioner Joseph ~Downey that
thew cannot put those cots in the build
ing unless they take out a hotel license
and put another story on the building.
We went to the commissioner last spring
and obtained this ruling from him.
Chief Shippy said that might be true
but expressed the opinion that this was
an emergency and the cots could be de-
livered for that reason.
A little later several wagons loaded
with groceries and meats drove to the
