THE GENERATION AND kPPLI-
CATION OF ELECTRIC power
BY ARTHUR JoBsoN

about pei cent. That is, of the total
to such a lamp per cent is trans
formed into light, and 95 per cent into
heat, the heat energy being, of course,
wasted energy SO far as it's utility for
| lighting purpose is concerned. Hence
| If all the $50 II. P. was used for
| lighting purposes only per cent of
| this, or 40 II. p. would be converted
into light, and of the total 1875
theoretical H. p. in the stream l,766
II. p. would be lost in heat energy.
The writer will now discuss briefly
the various types of electric lamps
with particular regard to their effici-
encies.
The arc lamp as commonly used
for street lighting consists simply of
| two pieces of carbon about one-half
or f1ve-eights inches in diameter, and
8 or 10 inches long, arranged vertical
| ly, and end to end when in use. The
lower piece of carbon is usually fixed
permanently in socket. The upper
one is fastened to metal arm free to
move up and down within certain
limits, and as the carbons are con-
sumed by the heat of the electric arc
the upper is lowered automatically
by an electrically operated mechan-
ism enclosed in cylindical case just
above the carbons. Light is produce
ed by an electric current flowing from
the lower end of the upper carbon to
the upper end of the lower carbon,
| the ends of each carbon being about
one-eight of an inch apart. This dis
tance is maintained automatically
! by the mechanism above mentioned.
/ The high electrical resistance of this
F! air gap of one-eight inch causes an
intense heat to be generated, vaporiz
ing the carbon and thus producing
the light. The efficiency of any elec-
tic lamp is usually expressed in the
watts consumed per candle power. Ii
for instance the watts consumed for
each candle power of light is very
high the lamp would not be economi.
Soi AZ Tvs NoiiSaibPttch VI p'"1i oS
compared with another lamp that
used less number of watts per cam
die power. An arc lamp thar is rated
commercially at 2,0iO candle power
consumes about 400 watts tabout 10
amperes at 45 volts. Under ordinary
circumstances, however, an arc lamp
consuming 450 watts will not give
more than 1000 candle power. More
over the light is poorly distributed,
and varies greatly in it's intensity
from time to time. If we assume
that the average intensity of the light
is 1000 candle power thereafter abbre-
waited G. P.1 the efficiency would be
represented by 0.45 watts per G. p.
l450 divided by 1000. Another type
of an arc lamp is known as the fam
ing arc. This differs from the COM
mon arc lamp principally in the com
position of the carbons. 1t is much
better for street lighting purposes
. than the common arc lamp as the
light is more uniformity distributed.

THE OFFICER HAD NO
BUSINESS RUBBERNECKING

A woman was arrested in Los An
geles the other day for carrying a
revolver in her stocking. The dis
patch stated that the officer who ar
rested the woman, detected the out
lines of the revolver in her stocking
rs she crossed the street." From
force of habit we presume that the
woman thoughtlessly raised her
skirts just trifie too high while in
the act of crossing the street. Well,
suppose she did, what business had
the officer to be ''rubbernecking'' SO
closely that he was able to detect that
there was anything at all out of the
ordinary concealed beneath the
lady's dainty hose?
This case should serve as warn
ing to ladies who are wont to carry
firearms to either refrain from con-
cealing them in their stockings or else
be more thoughtful and not lift their
skirts so high when crossing streets.
II the Montpelier ladies were In the
habit of carrying revolvers in their
stockings they would certainly be up
against it these sloppy days, for there
isn't u street crossing in town but
what is in such horrible condition
that the ladies are compelled to lift
their skirts high enough to reveal the
outlines of a revolver, IL one was con-
cealed beneath their stockings, or
permit their skirts to become soiled
| with mud.
However, there isn't much danger
of any Montpelier lady meeting with
the same fate as did the one in Los
Angeles for we are certain that our
Montpelier officer wonld not be SO
indiscreet as co observe so closely
that he could detect the outlines Of a
reyolver, even though 1t were con-
cealed beneath the most attractive
hose Imaginable.

for Feb. ,, 1919 it was showen that
ISIS III. P. was the greatest possible
amount of power that could be OBJ
tanned from 20 second feet of water
under a head of 800 feet. In other
words this is the quantity of power
that could be obtained for CONNER
cial uses provided all the equipment
used in generating and transmitting
this power had combined efficiency
of 100 per cent. However, in trans
forming and transmitting power for
the purpose of making it available
commercially there is always some
loss of energy due to friction in bear
ings, resistance to flow of water in
pipe lines, electrical resistance of
copper wire (Which includes copper
losses in generators and transformers
as well as line lossesl, iron losses in
both generators and transformers,
etc. Although the losses may arise
from different sources their result is
the same; namely, the conversion of
the different forms of energy into
heat energy. As a result this energy
is no longer available for light and
power purposes. Consequently in
every well regulated power system it
is always desired to make these COM
bined losses as small as possible. 1t
is worth while to determine approxi-
mately what these combined losses
mount to.
We will assume that we have 1875
theoretical horse power available in
stream, and that we wish to furnish
power from this stream to point
about 40 or so miles distant. How
much of this ,9l5 II. P. will be avail
able for light and power purposes at
the place where it is to be used, as
suming that none of the water in the
stream is being waisted; Il. e., none of
that quantity required to generate
1876 theoretical II. p?
We may assume that about 20 per
cent of the power in the stream will
be lost in the pipe line and water
wheel, 10 per cent in the electric
generator at the power station, and 4
per cent in the stepup transformer.
We will fix the line loss at 10 per cent.
/ The loss in the substation near the
place where the power is to be used
would be about per cent. II the
power is distributed from the substa-
tion at 1900 volts (Which would prob
ably be most economical) we would
have to consider the losses i'm the Gus.
toners transformers for lowering the
voltage to perhaps Ito, 22O or 440 volts
In addition to this we would have the
line losses from the substation to the
customers, commonly called the dis
in the distribution lines and custom
ers' transformers at 10 per cent. II
is more than likely that the loss IL
actual practice would be greater thar
lu, rather than less We f1nd tina
the total loss of power from the powel
station to the customers transformer,
inclusive is approximately 46 pei
cent. In other words about "a PEE
cent of the 1915 theoretical III. p. IL
the stream Is available for CONNER
cial uses. This amounts to about 98

(continued frorh Page 1.)

Fred Forgette.. a tester of the Lo- comobile Co.,, living at 9 Myrtle Court, was the first to answer. Forgette is a member of the Bridgeport Life Say ing Corps, a good oarsman and pro- ficient swimmer. He impressed into service a skiff moored near the break water and pulled vigorously towards the two boys.
 But by the time Forgette got fairly under way the two castaways were drifting midstream between the two breakwaters out toward the Bridgeport light. Caught in a strong current they were being swirled rapidly to- wards the open Sound when Forgettes sturdy oarsmanship began to eat up the distance between them
 foe, the footing of the boys became suddenly smaller when a portion of the cake broke off. This left the cake so small as barely to support the weight of the young messengers. They clung to one another in fear, and despite their efforts to maintain a firm footing the water kept wash ing up over the cake.
 Forgette found two badly frighteE- ed boys when he reached the cake and helped the two into his boat. By the time he landed them at Seaside park there was a large crowd await ing him. He was given a hearty cheer for his lusty efforts and the crowd escorted the pair of venture some boys back to the gates of the factory.

Warns
 AutOmObiIiStS
 To Get Markers
Many Bridgeport Motorists Still Using 1911 Numbers
 Arrests to Follow.

Secretary of State Matthew Rogers today sounded a note of warning to agtomobilists who had <not complied with the registration law and are still using their 1911 mark CTS. He says he is not anxious to cause any arrests, but he feels that the authori- ties must act unless those who are wittingly viola ting the law do not at once comply with it.
 There are 1000 of the 14,00O auto mobile owners in the state,- said the secretary, who have not yet even ap- piled for their new markers. The date for renewal was Dec. 30. But owing to tine big rush for new mark CTS at the time, he extended the time for 10 days, practically without au- thority, in order to accommodate all automobile owners. His office has filled all applications to date. he says, and there are still about 4,000 auto- mobiIists to be heard from. Many of these are in Bridgeport, where the 1911 markers are being widely used.
