Our word "livery'' is derived,
through the French, from the Latin
''liberare," to deliver; hence livery
originally meant something deliv-
cred or freely given and came to be
applied to an allowance of food or
clothes.
From Norman times an English
nobleman allotted a fixed '1ivery"
of bread, wine and candles to his
servants for their private use. An
allowance of provender for horse
was also called livery, and horse
fed and groomed for its owner at a
fixed charge was said to be cat liv-
cry"
In the middle ages '1ivery" was
worn by any one who was in any
sense in the service of another of
superior rank or station.
The trading companies Of the
city of London used to provide a
special attire for their freemen,
who became known as liverymen, a
title which they still retain.

'Well, Uncle Timrod," says the
nephew after breakfast, % wish I
could take you around to see the
sights of the city today, but I've got
lot of important business on hand,
so I'll have to let you run around by

seums, city hall, public buildings,
parks and things like that, with di-
rections how to get to each one."
That evening Uncle Timrod comes
home weary, but satisfied.
''Well," asked the nephew, "did
you have any trouble finding your
way aroundp
'No; I got on fne," says Uncle
Timrod contentedly.
"And did you think the public

UNITS OF POWER.
comparison Of Capacity Of Man, Herss,
stoam and Electricity.

SeceV ~'sN @tNS1sSNtys
Ny scientific friend and / were
regarding with admiration one of
the great engines and generators in
the metropolitan power station.
"How many horsepower I
asked, voicing the question that
comes naturally to every one at
sight of an engine.
81 should say 5,0o0," he replied,
''but we can get better idea Of it
from the capacity of the generator.
just glance at that brass plate near
you on the frame of the dynamo"
Eighteen hundred amperes; two
thousand VOLTS" / read, wondering
what that had to do with horse
power.
''The capacity of Dynamo" con-
tinued my friend, almost reading
my thoughts, ''is given by the prod
uct of the amperes and the volts
and is measured in terms of a unit
called watt, or more generally in
terms of a unit thousand times
larger, or the kilowatt. The capac-
ity of the machine is 100000
watts, then, or $500 kilowatts. Or,
as the kilowatt is one and one-third
times as large as the horsepower,
this would make some 1890 horse
power. Since the engine that drives
it is generally a little larger than
absolutely necessary, its horsepower
in this case will probably run be-
tween 5000 and 5000"
"What is horsepower, anyway"
/ asked. 'T have used the term
often enough, but have never
known Just what it meant"
'This unit of power" he oblig-
ingly went on to explain, sis, as its
name indicates, about the power
that can be steadily furnished by
good sisSd horse. More exactly, it is
defined as rate of doing work
equal to $4,000 foot pounds min
ute or $50 second. A foot pound
is the work done in lifting pound
one foot high, SO horsepower en-
gine could, for example, lift one
pound $50 feet high in one second,
or fifty-five pounds ten feet high"
"What would be the power Of
man, them" / asked.
cit is difficult to say. For steady
work it might not average much
more than tenth of horsepower,
but, strange as it may seem, for
short spurts man can do more
than horsepower. Thus, 150
pound man can run upstairs for
few seconds at a rate of four feet
vertically a second, or even more,
and this would mean 900 foot
pounds second, or well over a
horsepower. If he was able at the
same time to make use of his arms
he could probably increase this by
half.
"But this must not be interpret
ed" he went on to say, cas- mean
ing that man is as strong as a
horse, for, just as a man can ex-
ceed his normal power for short
spurts, so a horse could generate
several horsepower for a few min
utes at time. So it is probable
that an excited runaway team is
nearly if not quite the equal in pow
er to fair sized automobile with
it's twenty odd rated horsepower"
