ELECTRICAL TERMS DEFINED.
What a Kilowatt Hour 10 and What
IL Will Do.

Owners of electric vehicles are often
puzzled by the different terms used
for the measurement of electric cur
rent. The words "amperes," volts
and watts" are quite meaningless 20
the uninitiated, and when an electric
charging station makes a price for
current of or 10 cents per kilowatt
hour the average unscientific man
doesn't quite grasp its meaning.
To explain the term needs first, q
clear definition, and then comparison.
Every one will understand that a GER
tain amount of force must be used to
drive electric current through q CIR
cult. This force is measured by volts;
thus we have 110-vdlt currents and
22O- volt currents, the one expressing
just twice the force Of the other; but
the quantity Of current passing
through circuit depends upon the
force and the resistance, and so the
quantity is expressed by a different
term, viz, "amperes."
Now the efficiency Of the current
depends upon both force and quantity,
and to express this efficiency or united
action We multiply the force by the
quantity-that Is, the volts by the am
peres and express the results In watts.
Thus 10 volts multiplied by S amperes
is $50 watts, or 220 volts multiplied by
5 amperes is HOO watts. A kilowatt
is, of course, 1000 watts, which is the
equivalent of about 1 1-3 horse power.
In charging battery the lighting
companies bill for the use of so many
watts for 80 many hours-thus 1000
watts for 10 hours would be charged
as 10 kilowatt hours, which, at s cents
kilowatt hour. would be SO cents,
charge that seems little enough for 10
hours use Of 1-s horse power.
But what a kilowatt hour Is worth
many be judged by what it win do.
Thus kilowatt hour will Hight twen-
ty 1s-candiepower incandescent lamps
or two standard arc lamps for one
hour: It will pump 100 gallons Of wa
ter to height Of 25 feet; compress 40
cubic feet Of free air 100. pounds; drive

Gordon press, or 1000 sheets on
32x47 cylinder press; run a sewing
machine for 20 hours; supply air for
church organ for one service; mix q
cubic yards of concrete; heat q two
pint chafing dish for four hours; mix
sufficient dough for 1,500 loaves OF
bread. and grind 900 pounds Of coffee;
it will drive runabout A miles or a
three-ton truck one mile. When there
fore lighting company charges 3
cents kilowatt hour for current for
your electric vehicle you can estimate
the value Of what you are getting by
what It will do in other lines Of indus

What Church Would Jesus Join2-
Answering the question, What church
would Jesus join If He were in New
York;" the Rev. DR.. Charles A. Eaton
told his congregation at the Madison
Avenue Baptist church that he did not
believe Jesus would join any. He said,
in part: II Jesus came to New York,
which church would He join? I'm
afraid some of the churches wouldn't
let Him in. He wouldn't be ortho-
dox, and He would be sure to be too
broad. He might prefer going out on
a street corner and talking to a news
boy or q bartender or a pickpocket to
speaking from the pulpit Of one Of our
fine edifices. He'd be a most difficult
member to get along with in any
church for He'd be too unconvention-
al. We have elevated our rituals to
place of first Importance. I do not
believe, II Jesus came to New York,
that He would care to Join any Of our
churches. He would say, my church
consists Of ALL"

worth 100000 or more and upon whchshe paid no
duty Upon being closely followed it was found she
was one of number of wealthy young women regu-
larly employed by rich importing furrers to run the
blockade. She was fined SO 900 90 and had probably
defrauded the Government out OF $50 100000 in I'M

WILLIAM LOEB, JUNIOR, Collector of the Port OF
New York, is the Federal official of Tafts admin
istration who stands out conspcuously In the lime
light as faithful public servant. He is hated and
despsed by those who have been in the habit of beat
ing the Government out of its just duties on imports
Mr. Loeb has collected several millions of o ars
from corporations and individuals which should have
been paid under revious administrations. He has
brought the Sugar Trust to time. Likewise he is
making the tourls,e pay import duties on whatever
they bring in from Europe that is properly dutiabe

ties to meet returning actresses and prominent citi

could live cheaply and where one dollar goes as far
