simple device makes it possible to
lead electricity from the vicinity of
the axle into the wires. When the
motorman admits the current to the
machinery, part flows into the coils

1t is the strange influence exerted by
the electricity in those portions Of
the armature wire furthest from the

The most familiar magnetic phe-
nomenon is attraction. Repulsion is
equally characteristic and potent.
Like attraction repulsion is mani
tested exclusively at the poles of a
magnet, the vicinity of which is
known as its field" One illustra-

Mountain CIimbers.

The year 1906 has been distinguish
ed for performances in mountain
climbing. The Duke of Abruzzi,
whose ascent of Mt st. Elias has been
eclipsed on the North American con-
tinent by DR.. Cooks more recent feat,
succeeded last June in surmounting
the second highest (19,O24) summit of
the Ruwenzori range in central Afri-
ca. The highest summit (Mt. Kibo)
Of this range being 1892. But the
achievement of DR.. and Mrs. William
H. Workman last August over-shad.
ows that of the Italian duke In Afri-
ca, for they succeeded in climbing to
23,394 feet on the peak Of the Chago
Lungma glacier in the Himalayas.
This, believe, is a record in height;
though by no means so difficult an
undertaking as Mckinley. The Work
mans camped for two nights at 21.-
600 feet, which becomes also rec
ord for mountaineers camp. Thus,
the mountain climbing honors of
1906 may be said to justly belong to
America, for DR.. and Mrs. Workman
and DR.. Cook are Americans.-Outing

which is stationary, is composed of
electro magnets. The central part,
known as the armature, is round,
like a drum, and rotates. Being
mounted on the car axle, the revo-
luton of the armature propels the
car itself.
An electro-magnet is bar of soft
iron surrounded by a 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
is done by electromagnetic in
telegraphy-it is usual to put two
such objects side by side, the north
pole of one pointing the same way
as the south pole of the other. For
other work they are placed end to
end except for 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.
If 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

Hypothetical Question.

the Tuckerman will case before Judge
McKim, DR.. Jelley, the wellknown ex-
pert on insanity, was one Of the Wit

tions asked Of the witness by Mr..
Morse contained no less than 10000
words. The lawyer started this pithy
question at the opening Of court and
closed only few minutes prior to the
noon adjournment. The point that
Mr.. Morse was endeavoring to bring
out related to the mental condition Of
the testator when he made his will.
This is said to have been the longest
single Interrogation ever made in a
court Of law, and the answer com
prised just three words: "I do not

MEXICO TAKES WARNING.
Government Feared Americans Would
Get Railroads.


Mexico's government has made ar
rangements to become the owner of
the principal railroads of the coun-
try not heretofore public property.
The government has for some time
owned several railroads, but those
now acquired will vastly increase its
holdings. and in fact practically abol-
ish private ownership of this means
of transportation in the republic.
Minister of Finance Limantour, in ex-
planning to the Mexican congress the
reasons which prompted the govern
ment to consummate the great rail-
road merger by which the republic
comes into possession of the two
great trunk lines of the country, to.
gether with thousands of miles Of
subsidiary lines, said that If this de-
fensive action had not been taken
by Mexico, some Of the great railway
systems of the United States would
have entered the republic and swal-
lowed its transportation facilities.
The minister further declared that
the government was first forced to go
into the railroad business In 1908,
when it purchased the National rail-
road to prevent it being merged with
the Central.

magnetic pole attracts one of the op-
posite kinds, but repels one of the
same kind.
A different, more obscure, but gen.
uine instance of repulsion was dis
covered by Danish investigator,
Oersted, in 1919. He found that II
he held wire which was not electri-
fed directly above and parallel with
magnetic needle-in the position
shown by an admirable drawing
found in Silvanus Thompson's "Elec-
tricity and notwithstanding
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 a cur
rent acquires certain magnetic quail
ties. One way to prove the fact is
to try the following experiment: On
horizontal glass plate scatter iron
filings. Through a hole in the GEN.

tre run 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.
gion of influence lying just outside
the wire, while it is conductor, and
Oersted's discovery indicates that the
influence is of such 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 IL 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 motor. Lay an
electro-magnet down on it's side, or,
what is better, lay two in horizontal
position, in line with each other.

Resources of Soudan.

There is talk in England of the pro-
posed development of the natural re-
sources of the Soudan through scien-
tific exploration. Immense forests
line the banks of the Blue Nile along
its upper reaches, extending to the
Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree
is met with along that river and al.

Nile the India rubber creeper, a valu'
able source of rubber, abounds. There

dan. Search will be made for fuel.

Oersted's Experiment.

short gap between them. Arrange
a 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 1t 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-
tion 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 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
ature of a 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 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
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 Sat If wire
was moved in certain 'shion oppo-
site the end of magnet, electricity
would be excited in the wire. The
cross wires on the drum-shaped
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 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 locomotive. The power
must go through that device before
1t can get into the motor. Inside of
the controller are provided several
paths for the current, each offering
a 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 first
there is great deal.-New York
