country as a winshurst machine; or It can
be generated by Transforming UP to high
tension, and rectifying in one direction. the
current Of the revolving magnetic gener-
ator called a dynamo. The first is in many
respects the simplest. and was used in the
early and small scale experiments. but it
can hardly be regarded as an engineering
method adapted to continuous or rough
use. The latter Is the one which In the
trials now to be described we have adopted.
The power is generated by a wo-horse
oil engine driving a small dynamo In an
clubhouse of the farm. Thence the current
is taken by ordinary overhead wires TO the
field, where they enter a suitable weather
tight hut, which contains the transform
ing and rectifying apparatus. The only
moving part here is the break" and If
the original dynamo had been an ~alternator
even this might be dispensed with. The
transformer is a large induction coil, spe-
cially made to stand continuous use, and
its current is then rectified by means Of
vacuum valves in accordance with a pat
ented device of my own. The negative
electricity is conveyed direct to earth,
while high-tension electricity, all OF posi-
tive sign, is led by a specially insulated
conductor out OF the shed to the nearest
post of the overhead insulated wires. which
are thereby maintained at continuous high
positive potential.

BOARD FAV0RS NEW
 BUILDING FOR HIGH SCHOOL

The board of education has under consideration a project for the solution of the present crowded condition of the schools by the erection of structure for the special accommodation of the high school department. This depart ment though but fairly started is grow ing with such strides that present fa- cilities are far from adequate for its needs. The rapid growth and the h. creasing interest shown in the depart ment by it's patrons and the public, ap. peals to the board as ample justifca tion of their course in establishing the department.
 The now wish to afford it the best kind of a chance to demonstrate it's use- fulness to the community and propose to relieve the congestion in other grades at the same time they make a home for the hearty youngsters that look to them as sponsors.
 The proposition was launched in a way last Thursday evening on the occa- sion of the graduating exercises of the twenty two applicants for high school honors, when J. s. Miles, before pre- senting the diplomas, took opportunity to allude to the phenomenal growth of the schools, the scant room now avail able, the requirements confronting the board and the prospects that face them.
 He said in part: During the year just passed there was placed at the dis posal of this board the sum of $40,000 with which to erect two ward school houses. The original survey for town site did not provide for school house sites and two sites for the two buildings erected were purchased by the board for $2,000 each. One of them is in the southern part of the city, occupies an entire block and the othtr on Noftsger hill about half as much. The contract price of the buildings was ,000 each, leaving balance in the fund with which to equip them with heating ap- parAtus and, if sufficient, to add other essential features of permanent char acter.
 "The rapid growth of the school by the influx of population and the better attendance of the school population stimulated in some degree by the pub lie interest shown in the liberal expendi- lures has led to the already overcrowd. cd condition that we have to take care of
 "The school census shows the mum Der of pupils of school age in the dis trict to be 1126 and arrangements have been made for eighteen teachers for the coming year.
 "The board will at an early date ask for an appropriation of $30,000 to $4o,- 900 with which to erect high school building of seven to nine rooms and equip the same with apparatus, labora- tories and gymnasium appliances as well as provide for tho ordinary require ments of the school.
