Odd Facts About Electricity

second II the circuit 10 broken any
where within two hundred thousand
miles of the place where the current
is generated.
An electric generator of ten horse

horsepower of mechanical energy
into ten horsepower. or seven and
one-haIf kilowatts, Of electricity. with
practically no loss. This is true of a
direct current generator. but in an
alternating current generator larger
carrying capacity Is required, for the
following reason: Electric power is
the product of the volume of current.
amperes, and the pressure at which IL
flows, volts, just as the energy with
which water flows out of a pipe is
the reset of the volume OF water
and the pressure at which it is flow
ing. The product of the amperes and
volts is called watts. When the
product is 100000 volts by 10 am
peres, or 10 volts by 100 amperes. fer
instance, it is called one kilowst:.
In an alternating current machine
the amperes and volts reverse their
direction with marvellous rapidly
but not always at the same instant
The amperes may arrive at q motor
which is being run by the generator
slightly before the volts of pressure.
In that case the amperes with no VOL
tage behind them are idle and do net
produce any power. But the genrr-
ator. the motors and the transmission
lines-in fact, all parts of the system
have to be made large enough to
carry all the amperes, whether they
are accompanied by volts and there
fore produce power or not.
The idea can best be expressed thus.
Imagine a man in business on bor-
rowed capital, who expects to make
certain percentage a year on the
commodity he sells. provided he sells
it promptly. Suppose that he cannot
sell it promptly. he must 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 time as
the volume of current (amperes) cuts
down the amount of power delivered
by the machine in precisely the same
way as the slow sales cut down the
profits of the business man men
toned.
II the volts came a little bit later
or earlier than the amperes, so that
20 per cent. of the amperes is not
accompanied by volts, this reduction
is 20 per cent, and the machine, or
system, is said TO have only so per
cent power factor. Therefore. a gem
orator with so per cent power factor
would have TO be big enough 10
transmit the current corresponding
to twelve and one-half horsepower
in order to transform all the power
from ten-horsepower engine. Twenty
per cent of the twelve and one-half
horsepower, or two and one-half
horsepower, is idle capacity. The re-
naming ten horsepower is trans
formed and the generator. by being
built large enough to transmit twelve
and one-half horsepower, succeeds IN

At a hillside rill she stopped, lap

of her thick, blackened tongue, turn
ing away from it as though to go
onward, then sinking beside 1t that
she might drink again. The cooling
touch of the water seemed to reach
her brain and dissipate the dullness
which had settled there. She growl-
ed. now with a. stronger note, and
drew, the cub toward her, licking 1t.
fondling 1t for the first time that
day. Two hours later she was still
there. resting beside the tiny stream
drinking. resting and drinking.
The coelness of the night changed
to the chill of approaching dawn.
The great beast shivered, Tapped at
the water for the last time, then,
gathering her cub once more in her
jaws. started onward. She still stag
gered. but her step was bit surer;
q half-moaD of-pain still issued from
her throat. but she went on.
A mile and she weakened. drop-
ping inert for long half-hour. Then
suddenly she stiffened. the head went
forward, the nostrils twitched con-
vulsively. The morning breeze had
brought another scent-a scent which
spelled to her . life far remote from
this existence Of pain and suffering
and pursuit. A new strength came
into her weary legs. The agony OF
the wounds departed momentarily-
she began to trot. the cub joggins

sultry air, and the relentless sun
crept through the branches of the
trees and. lowering the sky. searched
out the cavern and caught her in its
dying blaze. The tongue. hanging
over the heavy, teeth. became thick
and discolored. The cub yowied and
scratched at her. but she did not
move.

IT last the sun disappeared. A
breeze rose. whispering through
the trees. calling forth the birds
again for the last song of the day,
and waited finally into the crevice
beneath the rocks. Its touch chilled
her-she shivered. and. curling about
the cub. huddled there in spite of the
pain that the exertion caused. Then
the chills passed. The GOODNESS of
the evening gradually began to have
its effect upon her, reviving her.
bringing back a portion. at least. of
the strength which the sun had sap
ped. The gleam of the moon edged
within the crevice, to discover the
beast half crouched, alternately star
ing without, then turning her eyes
toward the still whimpering cub. For
hours she remained thus. as though
summoning strength for the next
move. At last she rose.
The cub .tumbled toward her. With
velvety gentleness the great jaws
clamped upon the nape of the furry
ball. Then. staggering and weaving
in her stride. the cub dangling from
her mouth, she issued from the cav

For there at his feet. the cub yowl-

Chota had sunk to the ground.
An hour later two men stood before
a cage in the menagerie tent. The
sleeves of one OF them were rolled

The doctor laid aside the hypo-

striped form and pressed his ear
against her side. Rising. he smiled.
Lifting then the furry ball which
wabbled about the den, he placed IL
between the forepaws Of the gasp
ing, pain-racked beast. The glazed
eyes closed, slowly. naturally. and
the breath came more evenly. Again
the doctor smiled and nodded toward
the menagerie superintendent. Then
he stepped from ithe cage and the
two walked away together. leaving
behind them the sleeping Chota and

love had regained life-and home.
