basis of "Electrictalk," - amperes,
volts and watts. Ampere is the name
of the Frenchma an who discovered how
to measure electric current. The unit
of measurement was therefore called
an ampere In acknowledgement of his
valuable discovery. Electricity may
be best compared to water flowing
through q pipe. The volume or gal
Ions of water, correspond to the
volume, or amperes of electricity.
But water may Aow at greater or less
pressure. A thousand gallons OF
water flowing through q pipe at one
pound pressure to the square inch
would just dribble out at the end
Under q thousand pounds pressure ia
the square inch would shoot out Of the
pipe with fierce energy. The number
OF pounds Of pressure under which
water is flowing corresponds to the
number of volts OF pressure under
which an electric current is flowing.
The energy with which water flows
out OF q pipe is the result OF the vol
ume of water and the pressure under
which it is flowing. Everyone has
noticed how much faster water flows
out of q faucet in one place than II
does out of q faucet in another. The
quantity of water which flows out Of
the faucet depends upon the water
pressure in that particular locality
In the same way the quantity of cleo
tricity delivered over q single circuit
is the product OF the volume amperes
multiplied by the pressure volts.
The electrical term for the energy
thus generated is watts. A thousand
watts are called q kilowatt, as this
term is part OF the metric system.
In order to understand just what 6
kilowatt is, it is airy to ascertain
what it will do. We know that {
stream of water OF a given volume
flowing at given pressure into {
turbine will generate q certain quantity
OF horsepower OF energy. A kilowat
is the mechanical equivalent of ONE
and q third horsepower.

Make Effort To Compromise.

SPOKANE, April 24.-In an effort to
come to q compromise agreement with
the shippers on rates, pending the re-
hearing Of the Spokane rate case by
the United States supreme cour next
October, representatives Of all trans.
continental railroads operating in the
northwest offered q series of compro-
mise tariffs lower than the rates now
in effect, but higher than the rates
found reasonable by the interstate
commerce commission in its tentative
decision of 1910.
The offer was made at q conference
between the railroad representatives
and about thirty leading Spokane
shippers. The shippers made nc
answer to the offer. The interstate
commerce commission will hold 9
hearing May 8 on the proposal to in
stall the rates found reasonable In the
tentative decision of 1910.
