Simple Explanations Of Electric
Facts.

Whenever you ask an electrical
engineer a question he seizes a pad
and draws a picture. This is get
ting the cart before the horse. The
picture Is a graphic representation
of an idea. You have to compre-
bend the idea before you can grasp
the significance of the picture.
Electricity Is a far more definite
science than that of steam power.
The public has learned from con-
slant repetition that about 80 per
cent. of the energy liberated by
burning coal to run steam engine
is wasted. In an electrical machine
the waste Is far less and the amount
of energy that Is generated can be
measured far more accurately.
Electric generators are machines
to transform mechanical power into
electrical power. In other words,
they generate electric current when
driven by mechanical power. They
are run by steam engines, turbines,
gas engines or some other form of
mechanical power called prime
movers" The generator is con-
structed to transform the amount of
mechanical power that the prime
mover running it supplies. A gene
rator run by ten horse power en-
CINE, for instance, will transform
ten horse power of energy, less a
small percentage (about 10 per
cent? lost in the process. Elec-
trical engineers don't usually say
that generator transforms ten
horse power. Their measure of
energy (or power) is the kilowatt
which is equal to one and a third
horse power. So they say that the
generator transforms seven and
half kilowatts, which is the equiva-
lent of ten horse power. Why
should this change in nomenclature
be any more confusing than to say
that one inch is equal to two and
a half centimeters?

Frank Baker Leads All BaNplayer!
At Driinq In Runners.

John Franklin Baker, hero of the
worlds series of 1911, was the
limeliest hitter in the American
League last season, leading the
Johnsonites not only in the number
of runs batted in, but having also
a higher percentage of runs batted
into the game than any other play
or in the junior organization.
Connie Mack's Maryland third
baseman. participating in 149 con-
tests, drove in 1873 tallies, which was
IL less than were batted home In
1911 by Tyrus Cobb and 80 more
than Iris Speaker batted home this
past season.
Baker might have equaled Cobb's
1911 record had the pitchers not
issued so many bases on balls to
him when conditions looked dark
for them. A man who failed to
pass Baker on purpose, and who
probably now wishes that he had
done so, was Tom Hughes,of Wash
ington, for Baker, by mailing a
home run off him, took a leading
part in shattering Washington
hopes of equaling Providence's re-
cord of 20 straight victories
Most of the runs that Baker
drove in were recorded through the
medium of safe hits He hit in 113
counters on drives that boosted his
batting average, 8 on sacrifice flies
that didn't affect it, and II on in
field outs that hurt it.
Three other players-Duffy Lewis
of Boston; Sam Crawford, of De-
troit. and Stuffy McInnis, of Phila-
delphia-also batted home LOO or
more runs, these players records
being, respectively, Ill, 108 and
103. Iris Speaker, of Boston, ad-
judged by a jury of scribes the
American Leagues most valuable
player, batted in SO tallies and
found a place on the team of John
sonites cleverest at clouting at the
right moment. This team would
have as Its battery Hall. OF Boston.
and Strange, Of Detroit; as It's in
fielders. Gandil. of Washington;La-
joie, of Cleveland; Baker,o Phila-
delphia, and McInnis, of Philadel-
phia, and as its outfielders, Lewis,
of Boston; Speaker. of Boston, and

CHICKEN THIEVES BUSY.
Many Persons Annoyed By Petit,
RObberies.

during the past month or SO there
has been considerable complaint up
on the part of persons raising poul-
try on account of attempts being
made to raid their poultry houses
at night. In some cases the would
be thieves have been scared off, but
in others they have gotten away
with the chickens.
Early this morning, Mr.. John
Henry Burgess, Jr., who lives at
the corner of High and Williams
streets, surprised burglar in the
act Of robbing his chicken house,
and but for the fact that he had no
gun, could have captured him; as
It was, the man ran off before Mr..
Burgess could get to him.
In addition to the complaints
about the stealing of chickens. there
has also been considerable trouble
about the loss of wood and coal
at night.

To any fairminded reader the impress
sion is made that the beatitudes record
ed by Matthew and those by. Luke are
the same. the only. difference being that
which one would expect when two men
would record something they had heard.
These verbal differences are especially
easy to account for when we remember
that Luke got his information second
hand
This being true. the effort on the part
of those who selected these lessons to
make them different and the effort to
make Christ put a premium on poverty
and sorrow and depreciate gladness and
enough food to satisfy hunger, only in
creases my lack of respect for the in
ternational lessons as a means of Bible
study.
Since we considered the beatitudes last
week, shall therefore leave that portion
now, and consider with you the story of
Lazarus and the rich man.
This occurred very late in His minis
try, probably on His last journey to Je-
rusalem. We must appreciate it's setting
if we are to get the truth He was
teaching.
The Pharisees and Scribes had grown
so bitter in their opposition to Jesus
that they had caused many of the
people to leave off following him. There
were, however. a great number of pub
licans and outcasts who followed Him
STILL for the Pharisees would have moth
ing TO. do with them anyway and they
found in Jesus a friend indeed.
On the way they stopped for dinner,
and Jesus sat among them eating His
frugal meal. The Pharisses were on
hand to watch Him for some fault. and
began to. criticise Him, saying This
man receiveth sinners aud eateth with
them.
In answer to this charge Jesus spoke
to them the parable of the lost sheep,
the lost coin and the lost boy to show
them that the work of the Lord was to
seek and to save the lost. Then turn
ing to His disciples He spoke to them
the parable of the unjust steward to
show them that the highest wisdom re-
quired that as stewards they should use
their Lords goods prudently He did not
commend the rascaf1ty of the steward.
Whilst the use of his Lords wealth to
help his Lords debtors was piece OF
bravery and unfaithfulness in him, ii
is the very acme of faithfulness in us.
The Pharisees were lovers of money.
They did not enjoy the teaching, so they
laughed at Him and made fun of Him
for making light of what they esteemed
most highly, the possession of wealth.
He tells them that what they esteem and
what God esteems differ entirely. All
had been governed by the standards of
the law and the prophets until John,
but since then the kingdom of God gave
life and inspiration to lal. The standard
had been changed. Not that the Mold Tes-

STEAMER IS BLOWN UP;

Archipelago Mail Boat Acct

Harbor of Smyrna
tsy Associated Press.)


SMYRNA. April 30.-The steamer Tex
as. belonging to the Acknowledgements
can Steamship company, struck a mine
at the entrance to the Gulf of Smyrna
last evening and sank. One hundred and
forty persons on board were drowned.
The Texas was flying the Turkish
flag and was engaged in carrying mails
from Constantinople to the Levant.
1t was first stated that the Texas was
an American vessel. the error arising
from the fact that she is part of the
fleet of a local concern trading under
the name of the Archipelago-America
Steamship company.
The Gulf of Smyrna is one of the finest
harbors in the Mediterranean, and Smyr-
ma itself is the principal seaport of
Asiatic-Turkey. The entrance to the gulf
was mined by Turkish authorities to pro-
tect the port against an attack by the
italian fleet.
The Texas was a vessel of POI tons
net register, built at New Castle, Ell g.
land. in 1883. She was at first called the
Olympia, then christened the Margaria
and finally received tire name Of the
Texas.
Ninety passengers out of the 156 or
board the Texas when she was blown VI
by a mine at the entrance to the Gull
of Smyrna last night, were rescued, ac'
cording to reports.
1t is alleged the disaster was due tC

dictated by the pilot boat preceding hel

a course of domestic science in every

teaching will rank right along with
music and the other arts. l think
have said more than once that some men
are made drunkards by not having prop
erly cooked or carefully planned meals.
I've eaten in homes that supplied enough
of a certain sort, but one got UP from
the table with a vague unrest that
told one that breakfast was not the
sort to help one until noon. l have seen
girls and men stop work and get GER

after breakfast when / knew that the
breakfast had not been the sort for
work On the other hand, ! have known
girls and men, three times a day, to
load their digestion to the point of glut-

vousness often comes from ignorance
just as WORKOUT machinery comes from
lack of a proper machinist. / know
from experience and observation that
there are times when the body cannot
be repaired as fast as the waste de-
mands; when one is in the harness, one
must not baIk; but improper food is
more frequently the cause of the break
down. Consequently. when every house
wife has learned food values along with
her arithmetic and grammar, this nation
will not be ''the nation of dyspeptics'
as il is now called.
There is hardly a vegetable without its
medicinal value, and / wonder how
many readers of these lines have ever
studied their own systems enough to
know the wholesome or deleterious effect
different foods have on them. When
you find out what agrees with you and
what vegetable, sweet or meat has med
icinal value for you, the druggist will
cease selling you all sorts of headache
remedies or digestion aids, nature will
spurn such things, and life will be more
like it should be. If you don't believe
me, try this plan for a year and see the
result for yourself.
Don't misunderstood me. I've no
grudge against doctors or druggists. St
Luke was a beloved physician" and
there is nothing that can be construed
against the profession; but there are too
many nostrums that misguided people
put their confidence in. Don't fail to
send for doctor If you are really sick,
and follow his, or her, instructions to
the letter, but try to let his visits be
few and far between. Or so thinks this
mortal who has studied the subject from
the prescriptions of parched locust tea
given by Japanese quacks for catarrh to
hoodoo charms on southern plantations,
from German prescriptions to American
doses that cost SO an ounce. "A little
learning is a dangerous thing" and If

milk gradually roll to the thickness of half
inch and cut with biscuit cutter. If the
dumplings are to be cooked with the stew take
out enough Of the liquor to put the dnmplings
right on the meat and vegetables. and let them
cook about fifteen minutes. The eetter way is
to put them in buttefed steamer over n ket-
tie of hot water IJoften bake mine and pour

veal is the same method. with split biscuits
instead of the dumplings or crackers.
MEAT PIES.
They are usually baked in fairly deep dish.
the sides Of which may or may mot be lined
with dough. Stewed meat. veal or chicken are
most frequently used and the pastry is ordinary
biscuit dough made Just a trifle richer than
usual. The cooked meat, cut into small pieces
is put in the lined dish, gravy is poured over
the meat, the dish is covered with dough and
IL is best to cover with plate until tits done,
then put on the crust, and let it get light
brown.
MEAT AND TOMATO PIE.
This dish presents an excellent way of using
IN small quantities of cold beef mutton, or
pork II fresh tomatoes are used, peel and
slice them; If canned drain off the liquor.
then layer of sliced meat and over that a
little flour. pepper and salt. Repeat until
the dish is nearly full then put In an extra
layer OF tomatoes and cover with layer of dough
or of fine bread crumbs. ~. D..
When the quantity of meat is small the pie
may be helped out by boiled and sliced pota-
toes or carrots few oysters or can OF
mushrooms improve the flavor. The time for
baking depends on its size, from half an hour
to an hour. according to size and heat of oven.
