WORTH KNOWING

The electrically lighted passenger
train is no novelty on any first-class
read, but there are few passengers
who can tell how the electric current
is produced which keeps the electric
lamps burning regardless of whether
the train is in motion or not.
First -class passenger trains are not
only lighted by electricity, but The
current has been adapted to drive
electric fans during the hot Summer
months and in one or two instances,
it is also used in the kitchen of the
dining car where the food is cooked
over the invisible fires of electricity.
In lighting passenger train pro-
vision must be made for supplying
is in motion. To accomplish this a
storage battery is generally in
stalled in connection with the electric
cal generator. There are three sys-
TENS in use for train lighting. The
first is the straight storage system,
which consists of a storage battery
large enough to store sufficient cur
rent for the needs OF the train in
route between terminals. OF course.
this storage battery has to be-
charged before each trip. The lamps
are lighted by merely turning the
switch, which draws on the current
stored in the battery
In the second system a small gem
orator us geared or belted to the
wheels of one of the cars. This gem
orator supplies electricity directly TO
the lamps and also to an auxiliary
storage battery which keeps the
lamps burning when the train is
standing in stations or yards. This
system is rather more complicated
than the first, but has the added adj
vantage that the storage battery does
not have to be charged at the ter
minals.
In the third system small genera
tor driven by a steam turbine engine,
which secures steam from the locomo-
tive boiler, is used to supply the cur
rent. This tiny turbine generator
may be mounted on top of the loco
motive boiler orein one corner of the
baggage car. It takes up but very
little room. A small storage battery
is used in connection with this set. so
the cars may be lighted even if the
locomotive is uncoupled and removed.
The advantage of electric lights for
passenger trains are many. First of
all, they eliminate the dangerous gas
tanks and gas-lighting systems, and
the old oil lamps, which usually set
IRE to the train in case of wreck. The
electric lamps do not overhead the car
during The warm days OF summer and |
they do not yitiate the air Of the
coaches, making travelling uncomfort-
able for want of good ventilation.

Astrology finds that the balance e
power among the planets is evil to-
day. While the sun exercises q be-
nefic influence Neptune, Mercury af3d
Saturn are all adverse.
Although the Sun is held to be ex
ceedingly favorable for fortune
health and important tasks, he who
would succeed should be wary OF
counter currents which may wreck
the fairest hopes.
The rule should be good for the re
vival Of old interests and the reaiiza
tion of almost wrecked plans in the
business world. However, dealings
with aged persons may thwart even
the most promising enterprises.
Owing to the fofbidding aspect OF
Neptune fraud may be more easily
practised than it is under more fortu-
nate astral conditions. Exposures Of
far-reaching graft have been pre-
dicted since the beginning Of the year,
and although these prophecies have
been fulfilled the uncovering Of shock
ing conditions has barely begun those
who read the planets announce.

THURSDAY, SEPT. 3, 1914.

Everyone must lament the
great strife now going on in the
Old World and the disturbance
to commerce that naturally re-
suits. Of course, that distur-
bance affects some of the bellig-
erent nations more than others,
but all will suffer. Now comes
the opportunity for this country
to push business in South Ameri-
ca and other parts of the world
and to build up our mercantile
marine which, so far as foreign
trade is concerned, has been a
negligible quantity for a good
many years.

l desire to express my thanks to the
many who have given me the support
OF their suffrage in the Democratic pri-
mary In which, of twelve candidates for
the Legislature, l ran second, lacking
only do votes Of election on the first
ballot. Further, l wish again to invite
the support of the voters, promising
that, if elected, will give them honest
and faithful service to the best of nv
ability.
L have based my campaign on no
mans weakness and on no mans mis-
takes; L have spoken unkindly of no

me nearly 80 per cent. of its total vote.

While l make this suggestion i'm ap-

derstood that, if elected, as l expect to
be, my voice and vote in the House of
Representatives will not be raised for
one section against another-I pledge
myself to regard all parts of York
County as equally deserving of the best
that can be obtained, and to cast every
vote, and make every speech for the
good of the people, whose servants all
public officials must be.
The time between the two primaries

pledges and pleas, take the place of

that will be nominated i'm the second

Every lover of humanity must
necessarily hate war. All the
the same, it is to be hoped that
the present European conflict
may last long enough to enable
the spirit of democracy to assert
itself that the despotic rule of
absolute monarchs and bur. auc-
racles may come to an end and
the reign of true liberty begin.
But for the whims and lust for
power of monarchs and aulOcra-
cies there would be no war, for
the masses are content to live in
harmony with the world.
