Though nature provides an almost In
exhaustible supply OF energy, the amount
of energy available for use is certainly
limited. Very little progress has been
made toward Harvesting energy furnish
ed directly by the suns rays, wind pow
er and water power and the means avail
able for making useful the energy which
has been stored during the past ages in
such forms as coal, oil. gas and wood
are extremely wasteful. Electricity now
plays an important role in the conserva-
ton of these stores.
For example, to obtain. in a useful
form, the latent energy In coal, one Of
the following processes is necessary:
The coal is either burned in a furnace
so that the latent heat, thus relea sed.
converts water into steam under pressure
so that the expansive power of this steam
! can then be utilized in the steam engine
which does the mechanical work. Or the
coal may be heated in a closed retort
and the gas, thus obtained, which con-
tains only a portion of the latent heat.
burned in the cylinder Of an internal
combustion engine.
To obtain electrical energy, the latent
energy of coal must be converted into
mechanical energy before 1t may be con-
verted into electrical energy. The con-
servation effected by the use of electric
q
latent energy into mechanical energy.
but in the more efficient application of
this energy to the work to be done.
The following example may be taken
as bringing out the conservation effect
ed by the conversion of the mechanical
energy into electrical energy and then
back again into mechanical energy:
/ Suppose there are ten small manufac-
turing plants in a community and each
requires abount 100 horsepower. II each
manufacturer installed an Individual
plant the efficiency Of converting 'ener-
gy from coal into mechanical energy
would be about per cent.
A central station supplies the 100 horse
power to each Of the manufacturers with
a power plant Of about half the size of
the combined individual plants. The cost
Of this central plant is about 10 per cent
of the total cost of the ten isolated
plants. The central plant permits an ef-
flciency Of per cent in the conversion
Of the energy of the coal into mechanical
energy. 1t requires only one operating
force as against ten operating forces for
ten plants.
The central plant renders other serv-
ices besides distributing power energy.
II gives service for residential lighting
and commercial lighting and for the
growing demand for electric heating, etc

THE CHRISTMAS
GIFT.ELECTRICAL

Almost every electrical appliance
which q year or two ago was con-
sidered Q luxury IL now deemed .
necessary comfort by the housewife.
There are many dainty electrical
devices which make acceptable gifts
and those who are in doubt should
visit the electrical shops and see the
new electrical percolators,- electric
chatting dishes. toasters, stoves, warm
ing pads, tea samovars. curling iron
heaters and lovely lamps.
Selecting a Christmas gift is nearly
always a perplexinS problem because
the essential qualities are so hard to
combine. 1t must be something serv-
iceable and yet It must convoy the
spirit of Christmas. It must not cost
too much and yet there must be Q
touch of real luxury about II.
1t must OFFER some practical utility
and yet there Is that fine line Of dis
tinction between the welcome gift and
the things we all prefer to buy for
ourselves.
The Christmas gift-electrical COM
bines these essential qualities, and be-
tokens personal thought on the part
of the giver. The Joy brought by the
unique present and the grateful mem
ory promoted by the useful gift are
happily combined in the modern gift

THE ELECTRICAL
CHRISTMAS Tree

The Christmas tree is the central
feature OF every Christmas celebration.
especially where there are little chill
dren. The trees and other holiday
decorations are usually flimsy and
when wax candles are used to light
the trees there Is always the possi-
bility of disaster. Thanks to electric
lighting, decorative outfits are now
available for the adornment OF trees
that are danger free. They greatly
please the little people while affording
relief of mind to the grown-ups.
Electric decorative sets for Christ
mas trees are now furnished with q
plug. which may be attached to any
electric light socket, and leading from
this II an insulated wire with branches
to the small electric lamp socket This
enables one to carry the wires along
the branches OF the tree in such q way
as to completely conceal the wires
when the tree is lighted. The small
lamp bulbes are made in the form Of
birds, nuts. fruits. toys, animals, snow
men and even Santa himself.
These decorative lamps add i'm
mensely to the beauty of the tree and
the use of electricity permits the
lighting of the tree at the beginning
OF the Christmas season and keeping
the illumination up every evening
through the holidays. Plain lamps
may be had in the Christmas coIors
or in the various forms dear to the
youngsters hearts.
Electrical decorations are now con-
sidered necessary to almost any So
cial festivity. They may be elaborate
or simple. In any event, the cost Is
not excessive and they are absolutely
safe.

The PART WHICH ELECTRICITY PLAYS IN THE
CONSERVATION OF A COUNTRYS RESOURCES

This makes necessary a much larger
power plant, but It also increases eff
cheney while It decreases overhead costs.
The extra amount of coal used by a
central station supplying 1000 horse
power to the ten manufacturers is about
one-fifth of the total amount OF coal
which would be required by the ten man
ufacturers II each operated an isolated
plant Right here Is the conservation
point to be noted.
Our coal supply is certainly not unlim-
tied and 1t is being consumed in an in
creasingly large quantity. 1t cannot
last forever with the present enormous
demand for coal.
Instead OF a steam power plant, q hy-
dro-electric plant within $50 miles of this
manufacturing center would conserve a
big drain on coal resources. The me-
chanical energy Of the water fall. which
would otherwise be entirely wasted. and

HUMPHREY TRYING TO MAKE ALASKA A NEW
 INSPECTION DISTRICT

Representative Will D. Humphreys proposition to create an additional steamboat inspection district with headquarters at Seattle which will include the North Pacific Coast states and Alaska. seems likely to be adopt ed by Congress. says the Seattle Times of Jan. 24.
 The House Committee on merchant marine and fisheries has reported general bin Increasing the number oi inspection districts from ten to eleven.
 "The first steamboat inspection dis trict." the report says, lis located ct San Francisco The supervising in- spector has under him the local in. spectors at Los Angeles, San Francis SO, Portland, Seattle, St. Michael, and Juneau, Alaska and Honolulu, Hawai-.
 "One supervising inspector cannot properly supervise a district as large as the first district. The approximate coast line from the southern part of California to Nome Alaska is about 5000 miles, and to this should be ad- ded approximately 800 miles of the Yukon river, or a total of $500 miles. The distance from San Francisco to- Honolulu is approximately 1000 miles. That immense district of great dis ,ances which had. in the last fiscal year, total of 1.1O6 steamers in- spected, with tonnage of 1.O9S.799 tons, is under one supervising inspec- or while on the Atlantic coast there arc four supervising inspection dls- tricts, the second. third. fifth and tenth.

RARE OLD MASONIC
 BOOK NOW FOUND IN
 SEATTLE sY c. D. RAINIER

Rumaglng in a pile of old and ap- parenty worthless books which he had acquired five years ago and which he was preparing to consign to the garbage dumps. Charles D. Raynor discovered a copy of the rarest book among the publications of American Masonic history-a copy of Spencer & Webb's "The Freemason's Monitor; or. Illustration of Masonry" published at Albany In 17s7 says the Seattle Times.
 In Masonic circles there has been popular impression that the oldest work of this kind was published in 1908. There are a number of copies of this book in existance. but the work of i797 has been almost forgotten.
 An interesting feature of the old volume is Q brief recital of the his tory of Masonry In America up to the date of publication The history also recouuts the story Of the recovery of the body of Dr. Joseph Warren. first grand master. from an unmarked grave on Bunker Hnl.
 Dr. Warren was commissioned ma jor general by the Massachusetts con. gress on June 14, 1775 He had been grand master in the Masonic order since 1769. In the council of war he opposed the fertilization of Breeds or Bunker Hill on the ground that the patriots lacked powder for its defense
 When he was overruled he immed- lately volunteered for service and on the day of the fight appeared with a musket ir his hand Colonel Prescott and General Putnam offer him com mand of me troops. but he insisted on highting in the ranks. He was one of the last to leave the redoubt and az he moved away was killed.
 The old history recites that a sue ! cessor Go Dr. Warren was not electef until March 8. TIT. when Joseph II. Webb was chosen. The delay Is ex. plaiued by the history as because "The brethren has been dispersed in con sequence of the war"

BlsMuTtf .'niNE AT
 FAlsBANKs WiLL BE
 WORKED THIS SPRING


 That bfiatth mining may eventual ly be oneof the industries of Interior Alaska, iB very evident from the fact that a good sized ledge of rock, car rying the metal In commercial Quan- titles. has been found in the Totatlan- ilSa country. Tho ledge is owned by Jack Leach and associates, who are now contemplating opening up the ground in the spring with she idea of mining and shipping the ore.
 The extent of the ledge is not as yet known. Where discovered, 1t is about 15 inches In width and that the orc carries bismuth in conner cial quantities has been demonstrated by tests. whlchs how it to be from 10 to 20 per cent. pure.
 The commercial value of pure bis muth is upwards of $500 to the ton. Mir. Leach and associates therefore feel that if their ledge is extensive, and its contents will be determined in the spring. they have a fortune in sight.
 Bismuth is one of the easiest met. als known to mine. It melts at a temperature of 26S and three-tenths degrees centigrade and can therefore be melted with wood fires. The plan of operation of Mir. Leach and his associates carries with 1t the con. 5tructlon of a small smelter where the rock will be smelted, thus obylat ing the necessity of shipping the ore outside and paying transportation and outside smelting charges on 1t.
 As far as can be learned this Is the first considerable ore body of bis. muth orc to be located in Alaska. Heretofore. most of 1t used in the United States has been imported from the mines of Saxony and Bohemia, although the State of Connecticut has mines from which a considerable quantity of the ore has been taken. During the year 1911 approximately S6 tons of bismuth were imported in- to the United States at a cost of ap- proximately S811.COO.
 Bismuth is used chiefly as con- stituent of alloys and amalgams. And combined with other ingredients 1t is also used as medicine and In face powders and paints.
