In an alternating current machine the
amperes and volts reverse their direc-
ton with marvellous rapidity, but not
always at the same instant. h am
peres may arrive at a motor which is
being Il by the generator slightly
before the volts or pressure. In tina
case the amperes with no voltage be-
hind them are idle and do not produce
any power. But the generator, the
motors and the transmission lines, in
fact all parts of the system, have to
be made large enough to carry all of
the amperes, whether they are accom-
panied by volts and therefore produce
power or not. The idea can ne best
expressed by a smile. Imagine a man
in business on borrowed capital, who
expects to make a certain percentage
a year on the commodity he sells pro-
viding he sells it promptly. Suppos-
ing he cannot sell it promptly he has
to pay interest on the capital invested
in his stock. This cuts down his net
profits. The failure Of the pressure
Volts) to reach the motor at the same

peres) cuts down the amount of power
delivered by the machine in precisely
the same way as the slow sales cut
the profits of the business man.
If the volts come a little bit later or
earlier than the amperes so that 20
per cent of the amperes are not ac-
companied by volts this reduction is
20 per cent n the machine, or sys-
tenn, is said to have only so per cent
w factor. Therefore a generator
with so per cent power factor would
have to be big enough to transmit the
current corresponding to 1914 horse
W in order to transform all the
power from a ten horse power engine
Twenty per cent of the 1919 horse
power capacity, or az horse power, is
idle capacity. The remaining ten
horse power are transformed, and the
generator, by being built large enough
to transmit 121a horse power, succeeds
in transmitting the full output of the
engine running it-ten horse power,

Simple Explanations of Electric Facts

Whenever YOU ask an electrical on
Sinccr a question he sciZcs n pad and
draws a picture. This is getting the
cart before the horse. The picture
is a graphic representation of an idea.
You have to comprehend the idea be-
fore 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 constant rep
etition that about 90 per cent Of the
energy liberated by burning coal to
run a 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 mo, @
accurately.
Electric generators are machines to
transform mechanical power into cleo
trical power. In other words, they
generate electric current when driven
by mechanical power. They are run
by steam engines, turbines, gas en-
engines or some other form of mechan-
zeal power called prime movers" The
generator is constructed to transform
the amount of mechanical power that
the prime mover running ii supplies.
a generator run by a ten horse power
engine, for instance, will transform
ten horse power Of energy, less n small
percentage tabout 10 per cent? lost in
the process. Electrical engineers
don't usually say hat a generator
transforms ten horse power. Their
measure of energy Cor poWer) is the
klloWatt which is equal to n and a
thlrd horse power. SO they say that
the generator transforms seven and a
half kiloWattS, which is the euuiya-
lent OF ten morse power. Why should
inns chahge III nomenclature be any
more confusing than to say hat one
inch is equal to W and a half cent?

throve in Wall street. Aaron Burr
and Alexander Hamilton We're first on
the ground, by far the most eminent
lawyers Of the day, and they crossed
purposes often in Wal street before
they met in their fatal duel. Indeed,
Wall streets first bank was organized
by Hamilton in 17S4-again in the
Merchants Corfo" house down near the
river. For years Hamilton's bank of
New York. backed by the Federalist
party, had a monopoly of the public
banking field. F'.f
Under an old butter nut tree, one of
the last Of the magnificent shade trees
of the Colonial times, a group of young
men began to meet every day to trade
in stocks. A group of auctioneers a
little further up the street organized
q stock exchange to control the SELL
ing of public stock. The brokers un-
der the tree declared that the "ex-
change was nm attempt at monopoly
and s~traiehtW0y organized an exchange
Of their own, which has come down
by a varied history to- be the Stock
exchange Of today.
Then began the growth of Wall
street in its modern sense. BY the

ELECTRICITY FOR THE BEDROOM

Very little care and attention is
given to the placing of electricity in
the bedroom. Apparently the con
tractor just sticks Il wall fixture in
wherever it is most convenient and
the occupant of the room has to make
the best of a bad job. Just as often
as not the electric light is located up
against the wall where it ought to be.
Not only is it important that the
electric light for the bedroom be To-
Gated where it is most convenient, and
where the entire efficiency of the lamp
is available, but other outlets should
be provided in case an extra lamp is
desirable during sickness, or for read
ing purposes. Now and then auxili-
airy electric devices, such as the small
electric iron, the electric fan, the cleo
trio shaving m Il the electric lumin-
Gus radiator, are desired, n where
only one outlet is provided the lamp
has to be taken out whenever any
thing else is used. OF course this is
a great Inconvenience during the
hours of darkness.
An electric shaving mug is very SER
viceable in homes where hot water is
not always on tap, and in connection
with the shaving mirror it is quite
handy to have an electric light that
may be adjusted to render it's best
service. The electric curling iron and
the electric hair dryer appeal very
strongly to the ladies of the house,
the former having distinct advantages
over he curling iron which has to be
heated by gas with the accompanying
SCOT and danger of excessively high
temperature. The electric vibrator
is another apparatus which may be
used in the bedroom. Fans, ozona-
tors. radiators and other common de-
vices may also be wanted in this part
of the house. To many persons a
reading lamp which can be placed in
a convenient position at the bedside
is also a comfort and convenience. The
provision of a number of outlets is
just as desirable in the bedroom as in
any other portion of a residence, and
If the greatest use is to be made of
electric current the contractor or de-
signer of an installation should bear
all these points in mind when laying
his wiring scheme. %

ON the chain you break and close the
electric circuit. This can be done Ut
any point along the line, and the eff
feet is apparent at any other place or
at n number of places simultane-
ouslN. Sometimes the return part of
the chain is by a second electric wire,
ana sometimes the return is made
'hr"ugh the earth. When the circuit
is broken at any point on the line
tn" current stops everywhere, to start
again when the break is closed. But
how does the current in New York
know that the circuit is broken in
Chicago? This brings us to one of
tn" really remarkable facts about cleo
trio current. 1t travels ut the rate of

current stops in less than a second if
the circuit is broken anywhere within
100000 miles of where the current is
generated.

that with prope encouragement still
greater expansion seems assured for
the future. h present situation
affords a particularly striking Illus
tration Of a possible change in the
center of commercial dominance from
Wall street,
But while the Wall street of the fu-
turc may show many such striking
changes, they will be more remarkable
thar those of the past. Probably not
one person in ten thousand knows that
the famous street follows the line of
what was once a brush fence to keep
cattle out. The famous WALL which
gave the street its name replaced the
fence in 1853. The wall not much of
a fortification. only a stockade about
nine feet high, With a small ditch and
an earth ~embankment. The "Wall"
stood for ~thirtN-tWo years, the defense
of the town, though it never defended
anything and when the English came
in 1874 New Amsterdam surrendered
without resistance.
1t was not the 'rWnll' which really
made Wall street, but the parade
ground which old Peter S~tuyVcsant
had aid out behind IT, 4 hundred feet
wide, which became quite the thor
oughfarc of the town. Seventeen
houses stood there when Sir Thomas
Dugan, the British governor, in the
year 1855. proceeded on a most APP
proved modern plan of civic improves
ment.
First Sir Thomas sent out a 'dum-
N.Y. one Captain John Knight, who
bought land adjoining the wall on the
north side for 1000 feet of its length,
with such claims as the title might
hold on the parade ground to the
south. The next day Dugan ordered
a surveyor to lay out Wall street in
the parade ground and within another
t~Wcnty-four hours the surveyor re-
ported that the work was done SO
the t~oWnSpooplc aWoke one morning
and found that they had q new street.
The street was not a hundred feet
wide, as it had been supposed to be,
but only thirty-siX and the governors
lot thus J came 124 feet deep instead
of the ~ feet he had bought and paid
for. SO Wall street came into being
by one of the prctticst municipal
steals of American history.
For half a century a slave market
stood at the foot of the street. IT
was only removed when the Mer-

chants Coffee house adjoining, which
was first a resort of pirates, became
fashionable like many a modern
tough" resort ana objected to the smell
of the slave pens.
Two wells were opcn in Wall street,
in the middle of the way furnishing
water at a spot where it is said water
Of another sort is still abundant. In
deed, tn" first regular trade done in
the street was the selling Of water
though the inhabitants saw nothing
prophetic of modern finance in the
peddling of tea water"
Rapidly Wall street became the fash
ionablo residence street of New York
and in 1899 the City hall was built
facing the head of Broad street. The
common council voted in ITO that the
stocks, pillory. cage and whipping
post "he removed from in front Of the
City hall to the upper side of Broad
street n little below die City half
which would have placed these institu-
tions almost exactly in front of the
present site of the Stock exchange.
In 1884 four relocated soldiers, the
recorder Of the city and a shambling
negro slave made their way to the pill
lcry one day at high noo There in
the "mptN street the negro quilt a
fire and burned a hundred or two

the Wall Street of the future be?
Not only here, but throughout the
country, where because OF the invcs-
legations involving it, this famous
street of gold is the subject of never
ending conversation, many men are
quietly asking themselves this uues-
ton. AS yet the answer has not been
found except that the men who see
the situation most clearly agree that
it will be something very different
from what it is at present. That al
most anything may happen in half a
century is shown by the changes which
ave taken place in this famous street
since the time even of the Civil War.
And c%uriously enough even the COM
paratively recent history of this street
is almost as unknown us is its fu-
ture. Yet ever Since 1863 when a
wooden wall gave the thoronghfaro its
name, it's story has been one of con-
slant changing interest. Signs and
portents of the present day unnoticed
by many point to equally important
changes in the future. But the qucS-
ton remains-what will these changes
be?
About the only point OF which there
seems to be anything like agreement
is that Wal street must yield up some
of its great power. In some cases
this may come through legislation; in
others through natural commercial
causes. AS an illustration of the
former is cited the effect of possible
banking and currency reform laws to

These are matters of Justice. There
can be no equality or opportunity, the
first essential Of justice in the body
polite, if men and women and chill
dren be not shielded in their lives,
their very vitality, from the conse-
quences Of great industrial and social
processes which they cannot alter,
control, or singly cope with. Society
must see to It that 1t does not itself
crush or weaken or damage its own
constituent parts. The first duty of
law Is to keep sound the society It
serves. Sanitary laws, pure food laws,
and laws determining conditions Of
labor which individuals are powerIess
to determine for themselves are Intl-
mate parts Of the very business Of jus
tlce and legal efficiency.
These are some of the things we
ought to do, and not leave the others
undone, the old-fashioned, never-to-be-
neglected fundamental safeguarding OF
property and Of individual right. This
is the high enterprise of the new day:
to lift everything that concerns our
life as a nation to the light that shines

And yet 1t will be no cool process
of mere science. The nation has been
deeply stirred, stirred by a solemn pas

strument of evil. The feelings with
which we face this new age of right
and opportunity sweep across our
heart-strings like some air out of Gods
own presence, where justice and mercy
are reconciled and the Judge and the
brother are one. We know our task
to be no mere task Of politics but a
task which shall search US through
and through, whether We be able to
