 Bids received at a former meeting were rejected some time ago. as be- ing in excess of the amount avail able. But $16.OOo had been appropr1- ated for the work, while the bids were in excess of $18,OO0 In order to award necessary to use $1,500 of surplus funds.
 The proposed sea wall is to start about two hundred feet from the pres erlt wall, in order that an open space he left for bathing purposes.

USING ELECTRICITY
 ON THE FARM
Practical Hints By Professor Wheel
 CT of storrs.

CT of storrs.
 Lighting by electricity Is practica- ble on the farmsand is also economic charging a battery, as tor example in connection with the pumping Of wa ter by a gasoline engine. In the Mid dle West electric lights were installed to some extent three or four years ago and worked well except that the teries was large. There are a mum Der of. batteries on the market The most practical one, considering that a farm battery will not have skilled attendants, is in my judgment, the Edison Storage Battery. This battery is twice as exp ensive as some of the other makes, but it is far more rug ged and is guaranteed to operate ef- d1ciently for four years. The college has had ten-cell battery on trial for three months and has found it ex- cellent4
 With a ten cell battery the voltage of the system is 12 volts. each cell would be econopaical only for very short distances, as within one build ing. If distances up to say 800 feet are to be covered the voltage should be about 30, requiring twenty en cells; for longer distances higher vol 
 nary city lighting systems using 110 volts The recently invented nitrogen bulb, which is tungsten bulb filled with nitrogen gas instead of being emptied of air, Is suited to low vol tages only and is twice as efficient as the ordinary tungsten lamp Herein lies a big economy in the low vol tage farm lighting system.
 battery stores the power which is put into 1t by an electrical gener- ator, which Of course is driven by gasoline engine or otherwise. and gives out the power again in the form of light or in running small motors Of the power put in about 75 per cent. is taken out, i. e., the battery is T5 per cent. efficient. The power neces- sary in charging vafies from a half horsepower flor ten cells to fifteen horsepower for 100 cells Of the larg- est size An economical arrangement is to charge the cells at the same time that the engine is being run for pumping and to have the cells of such size that the tank and the storage battery will last about the same mum Der of days before being refl1ed. Fig uring one and on-half pdnts of gaso- inc per horsepower hour and gaso- line at 20 cents per gallon the cost per kilowatt hour is 8 cents, two- thirds the amount usually paid for lighting in towns and cities. With a storage battery andS a nitrogen bulb the farmer can get twice as much light for eight cents as most electric ity users now get for 12 cents so that farm lighting by electricity Is eco nomical in comparison with village or city lighting.
 The cash outlay for electricity is greater than for oil. but there. is a large saving in labor, as there are no chinneys to be washed and no lamps to he filled Ar gslhl1r7aree esf lrhf makes more cheerful homes. Another advantage of electric lighting is the lessened risk from fires. Eaectrtcity is far safer than oil.
