TRANSPORTATION
OF ELECTRICITY
Method Explained in Language
Simple Enough for All
to Understand.

People are taking a good deal of in
terest in the transformation of water
power into light in homes and moving
| machines in factories, and this is cas-
lily understood, even if it does deal
with mysterious electricity. A writer
who has specialized in making scien-
tific things plain describes it as fol-
lows:
The water wheels are connected to
the electric generators in the power
house and make the latter revolve.
The whiriing of the generators pro-
duce the lectricity-electricity in
quantity and under pressure that var
les with the way the generator is built.
For instance, the generators in the big
Keokuk water-power revolve ST. times
per minute and send out the electric
current under a pressure of 1000
volts-which may be likened to water
In pipes under a pressure of II 900
pounds to the square inch.
The greater the pressure of water
the smaller the pipe to carry a given
quantity for any distance; if the press
ure be increased, the pipe may be less
ened in size. Similarly, the greater the
pressure on the electric current, the
smaller may be the wire carrying a
given quantity of current. In order to
transmit large quantities of current.
the wire must be large, or the press
ure high. The very large quantity of
current from the Keokuk plant would
require transmission lines too large
for practical building. unless the press
ure ON the electricity in them were
made very high. Hence, the current |
coming from the generators at IL 900 |
volts pressure is run through trans |
formers which raise its pressure to |
10000 volts used on the transmission |

7. TRIMBLE MAY
SECURE POSITION
Residents Along Sixth and Sew
enth Avenues Need Not
Worry About Future.

Residents on Sixth and Seventh ave
nue. who have been wondering how
they were to set their clocks after
July 1 when the United States Express
company will close its doors here and
Thomas W. Trimble. 2109 Seventh ave-
nue., for the past 20 years the Moline
agent of the company, would cease to
pass back and forth between his home
and the Office, may not after all be
forced to depend upon the sun or the
unreliable telephone girl to tell them
the time of day that they may set the
hands of their clocks correctly. for
there is a possibility that Mr.. Trimble
may not after all discontinue his daily
trips.
Despite his 20 years of service with
the express company here and 20 more
in connection with the railroad bust
ness in this city, it is not quite certain
that Mr.. Trimble is ready to retire,
and it is said that he has been offered
an excellent position with the Ameri-
can Express company, which has TAX
en- over the business of the Rock Is
land lines in anticipation of the Uni
ted States company's dissolution. The
American has no Office employees in
this city and it is now thought a place
will be opened here and Mr.. Trimble
it is reported will be offered the man
agement of the concern.
Citizens of the city therefore who
live along Mr.. Trimble's daily route
TO his home need not worry about the
future as he will probably still con-
-inue his daily trip and be just as will
ing to give the correct time as here
