buffers, ice cream freezer, dish washers,
bread mixers. dumb elevators, are all
driven by the electric motors If desired.
The convenience of electrical power in the
household has long been recognized and the
use of small motors has become practically
a necessity.
Besides the various household uses TO
which the motors are adaptes they can be
used 10 saw wood, cut the ensilage, cut
and elevate the silo, pump water, separate
the cream and chuTn, in the repair shop,
for grinding chicken feed, supplying power
for cider presses, corn shelters, bottle clean
ers. milking machines and dozen other
things.
Artisans, such as jewelers. tallors tin
smiths, locksmiths, dentists, thinkers, print
ers, carpenters and machinists make prac-
teal use Of the motor in their work. In the
machine shops the lathes, drills, emery
wheels and grinders, drill presses, boring
mills, etc, are all motor driven. The car
penter uses the power TO run his small
saws, shapers grinders and planners
Among the many novelties in motor
driven machines are the floor planners and
waxing brushes for use in large halls, the
motor driven vacuum curry comb for
horses and cattle, the shoe backing ma
chine, the stamp canceller for postofhce
work, an automatic engine stop 10 prevent
steam engines from running away In case

pressors for barber shops, air pumps auto

chimes, revolving signs, cue cnalkers exer-
cising machinesl hat cleaners, coffee grind

crushers, cash carriers, motor vacuum
combs and large variety Of small special
machinery.
The motors range in size from one which
can Do carried in the vest pocket TO a five,

Curious Stories About Dynamite and Effects of Reckless Handling

electric division OF thirteen miles extends
from the Grand Central station to Wake
field. All passenger trains, 152 In number,
discard locomotives at Wakefield and are
drawn to and from the station by electric
motors. Eventually the, electric zone will
extend thirty-five miles on the Hudson
river division and forty miles on the Har-
lem division. Two large power houses, one
at Mount Morris and the other at Yonkers,
were provided for, each to have 14O-horse
power capacity, with eight substations. The
third-ralG system was adopted
On the original estimate the cost of the
work was about S5O,OOOOOO, although part
OF this was for an enlargement of the
Grand Central station and the terminals
Great as this expense was, many railroad
men believed there would be quick return
from the investment, for the officials de-
clared they could run the suburban trains
on a two-minute schedule and II was be-
lieved that the suburban business under
these circumstances would be larger thar
any railroad had ever attempted to handle
The decrease OF steam operation has
brought about greatly improved condi-
lions in the yards and tunnel the com

HitchinE SUN TO Electric Motors.
Electric power from sunlight appears
more wonderful than Harvesting ths
streams or wind. Yet we know something
OF the vast heat OF the sun.
Solar engines for operating pumps have
been in use in different parts OF the earth
for several years now. and their value in
warm climates, where the number OF days
OF clear sunshine averages high, must
steadily increase. One OF the most sue
oessful OF these solar machines, says a
writer in St. Nicholas, is located near Los
Angeles to irrigate fruit land. An auto
matte stand carrying great rehectors fol-
lows the course OF tho sun as regularly as
the best telescope ever made, and the suns
rays are thus reflected on a central point,
where the boiler of a small engine Is To-
Gated Within an hour after sunrise the
heat OF the sun raises the temperature Of
the water TO the boiling point and thug
creates steam; and the pumping machinery
begins its days work and keeps II up until
sundown
The power OF the sun for heating has
only been family appreciated by scien-
lists in the past. but the prediction Is
made now that II all the coal should give
out VIC would soon be able to run much
OF our machinery from the power Of the
sun. with 500 mirrors properly arranged to
focus the rays upon one point, a tempera-
ture Of more than Loo degrees has been OBJ
tanned This almost equals One-hfth the
highest temperature recorded by the cleo
trio furnace, which Is considered today the
most powerful heating apparatus ever dis
covered AS there is no limit TO the num-
Der OF mirrors that may be employed, and
as the intensity OF the heat increases in
proportion 20 the numhsr OF rays reflected
by the mirrors, II is conceivable that a
temperature may be obtained IN time that
will surpass anything ever dreamed OF In
the past present.
IHtching the sun 10 run electric motors
