MEASURING ELECTRICITY.
Interesting Things Which All Of Us
Should Know About the Juice.

Few Df us outside of engineering
circles, know how that mysterious
servant. electricity, is measured. We
only know that the regular monthly
bin calls for '1567--1543=23 ky In.
for which please remit $40" Many
of us have gone down cellar, or up in
the attic. with a lighted cardle to
stare will, mysterious wonder and pro-
found awe at the little mechanical
meter with its incomprenensible t.ials
and unreadable figures only to wonder
what it was all about.
Tie fact is that electricity. or strict
ly speaking. electric energy. is meas
ured IL lIlowatt hours. y .ilowatt
hour is practically the same as one
and ono third horse power hours since
I46 watts equal one Horsepower. The
watt is a rate of work just ds Il horse
power is a rate of work. One tells
how hard the dynamo has to work,
while the other tells how hard a horse
or engint mas to work to produce the
required energy.
Tie measurement Of electric power
may be simply explained thus: The
curr mt enters the house and Il certain
fraction passes through Il small motor
contained in what il called a meter
The moving part of the motor or ar
mature, is connected TO an ordinary
counter such as is used on bicyles.
gas meters and automobiles. This sys-
TEN of toothed wheels is @rranSed TO
count file number of watt hours of
electricity. thousand watt hours Is
called IL Iiolwatt hour. The prefix
..!iilo'' always means 1000. kilo-
& att hour costs about ten cents. II
the result is desired in horsepower
hours. il * only necessary tn renier1-
bSr that kilowatt hour is the same
az one and one third horsepower
hours.
The wattmeter Is peculiar in that IT
mcG surts bower consumed. IN m
strument which measures the GUAM
tity of electricity or Juice is known
US an ammettr. because quantity OF
electricity is always measured in am
peres. An instrument which measures
the pressure which drives the electric
i.v is called Whitewater. since electric
pressure is measured in pounds. The
wattlneter, however, takes account OF
both pressure and quantity: that IS, II
riultiplies the volts by the alnperes
and gives the result in watts. Volts
multiplied by umperes give watts. JUST
as pound times feet give horsepower.
provided we assure that the work was
done in "a certain time-that Is, 50
much work done in second. or min
ute or hour. The dynamo or genera
tor" furnishes a certain quantity OF
enlrry in ki.owatts. but this amount
os energy must be used for one hour
before one hilowatt-honr can he
charged. Two kiiowatts for half an
honr would amount to the same thing
Thus it is necessary not only t. state
the rate of work IN kilowatts. but also
to state the time In hours, hence the
