tween three ana four, ana the pointer
of the fourth or right hand dial is be-
tween two and three. Then the meter
reads four, one, three, two, and four
thousand one hundred and thirty-tW
liloWatt hours have passed through it
since it started from zero. The right
hand dial registers lIiloWatt hours sing
~, the next dial registers them by
tens, the third by hundreds, and the
fourth or left hand dial thousands. In
every case the number printed above
the dial is the number Of units reg
iStered by one complete revolution of
the dial hand. The reading of the pre-
Vious month is subtracted from the
new reading and the resulting number
is the amount of power consumed
during the month in terms of kiloWatt
hours. The residents rate is twelve
cents per kiIowatt hour and a simple
multiplication gives the amount of the
months bill
The gas meter is very simple. Each
of the meter boxes incloses a little en-
CINE which is operated by the pressure
of the gas just as a steam engine is
operated by steam. OF course the en-
SlnC does not run except when the gas
is turned on beyond the meter, any
more than a steam engine would opcr-
ate if the exhaust were closed. All
the gas that is used by the consumer
passes through the cylinders of the gas
engine and each complete pulse of the
engine means that two cubic feet OF
gas have passed the meter.
The sole business of the little mech
anism is to operate the dial hands on
the face Of the meter box The up
permost of the four dials is marked
Test Gu. TT The Indicator on this
dial makes one complete revolution
each time two cubic feet of gas pass
through the meter. Each revolution
means tina $0.O0324 worth of gas has
been consumed. as the residence rate
is $1.62 per thousand cubic feet BY
watching the dial the consumer may
find ont just what it cost him to cook
a dinner or heat a bath tub fun Of wa

The Indicator on the other dials are
seared as in the electric meter and az"
read n the same way, the right hand
indicator registering hundreds Of cubic
feet the next thousands, and third or
left hand Indicator, tens Of thousands
The reading taken the month prcVi-
Gus is subracted from the new reading
and the bill is figured at the rate of
s. s. per thousand cubic feet.

WHAT MAKES
METERS 60?
Workings Of Electric and
Gas Meters Explained
Directions Given Will En-
able Every Consumer to
Figure His Own Bills
Whit makes the meters go?

What makes the meters go?
H. L. AlIcr, local manager of the
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. explained
the workings Of the electric meter to
the physics class at the high school
recently, and w. {. Hornberger, gener-
al superintendent for the company
dispclIed all the mysteries connected
with the box that measures the gas
Meters Of both kinds with working
parts exposed were used in the course
of the lecture. Mr.. Aller and Mr.. Horn
berger Will repeat the demonstrations
before the general science class next
Tuesday,
With the help Of Mr. Aller The Re
publican has prepared a short explain
alton of meters in general, with simple
directions which viii enable every con-
sumner to take his own meter readings
and figure up his bills.
In the electric meter an aluminium
disc is mounted between two electro
magnets through which the current to
hre measured is passed. The current in
the magnets induces a current in the
disc and this current flowing in the
field of the electric magnets causes the
disc to reVOlve with a speed directly
proportional to the amount of current
that is passing through the magnets.
With each complete revolution of the
disc a black band upon it is seen to
pass the glass covered aperture in the
face of the meter box, and a definite
number of revolutions of the disc indi
cate that one kilOWatt hour of cleo
tricity has passed through the meter
There are four dals on the face of
the meter box and the disc is geared
to them in such a way that when one
kilOwatt hour passes through the meter
the disc reVolves a sufficient number of
times to cause the Indicator of the
right hand dial to move one tenth of
the distance around it's circle. That is,
if the meter is set at zero. the Indicator
on the right hand dial will move from
zero to one in measuring one kiloWatt
hour of electricity.
In reading a dial of a meter it is
necessary to read the number last
passed by the pointer. This is import
ant for accurate reading. On a given
day the dial farthest to the right is
read and the number set down. Then
the next dial to the left is read and
the number is written just to the left
of the first number And so on till the
four readings have been taken and re-
corded. The numbers are not added
together but are read as one whole
number just as they stand.
AS an example. suppose the pointer
of the left hand dial has just passed
four, the hand of the second dial is be-
tween one and two, the third is be-

SENIOR PLAYERS
FRIDAY NIGHT
Advance Sale of Tickets Is
Very Large Cast OF
1.-The Rose and the Ring"
Includes Many Favoritcs
OF Phoenix

The senior class play is arousing
this spring, and already more than
seven hundred seats have been sold.
But the high school auditorium is the
largest hall in the state and good
seats may still be had at the Gen.
tral Drug store.
The east of The Rose and the
Ring includes several players who
have appeared many times in amateur
productions in Phoenix. Miss Ruth
Griffin takes the part of Fairy
Blackstick. the presiding spirit Of
the play. She appears both as an old
witch and a sprightly young fairy,
and her acting is so good that both
parts are cOnvincingly real.
Miss Georgia Mint finds in Bet
sinda n roll for which she is wen
fitted. Her voice and gestures show
real talent and her coquetry is most
delightful
Miss Nellie TeasdaIe plays Princess
Angelica and finds opportunity to
sing one of her best songs during
the progress Of the performances
Miss Edith Teel brings a lot of
laughs from a part that is as funny
as its name-Countess Gruffanuff.
and Miss Exile Harrison plays the
Queen in royal style.
James Higley carries the leading
mans role. He enters into the part
of Prince CYCLIC with real earnest
ness and plays it well. Charles Lor-
aine as the whiskered william, Prince
Bulbo, will surely swagger into ia
vor with the audience. one of his
best scenes is a duel with Captain
Cutoff Hedzoff
Thomas Haughton as King Valoro-
so EXIV, Julian CAM, as Tomaso
Lorenzo. and a dozen others Will help
to make the play q success, and the
