There are times, in cases of fires or

under the supervisory control system
it will be possible for the load dis
patcher at headquarters to open
switch many miles away by the touch

Energy Defined
1t may be interesting to know what
this substation can do in terms easily
understood. When both machines are
running it can supply power for seven
ty-fve of the railways largest cars
continuously or for 115 cars for an
hour or two during the rush hour Pc
riod.
Not less interesting, though some
what less spectacular, are the rooms
containing the apparatus for supply
ing power for the commercial power
and lighting loads.
Two transformer banks, which sup
and commercial feeders, are autom t.
ically controlled, SO that either or
both banks are in service, depending
upon the amount of load to be carried
Ultimately the entire capacity not
used by the trolley cars and amounl
ing to about $4,000 KVA will be
utilized for lighting and power To
gain an idea of this capacity, try to
imagine $4,000 electric toasters or
flatirons all going at once, or 100000
ordinary 50-watt lamps all lighted at
the same time. The statement that
this amount Of energy would drive
10000 horsepower in motors in indus
trial plants will appeal to the mechan-
ical mind.
The light and power feeders are
equipped with regulators to insure
proper voltage for the customer re
gardless of fluctuations of the load.
Other devices are installed to help
render good service, at the same time
protecting the apparatus.
The saving in operators wages for
a substation of the automatic variety
is considerable item. A manually
operated substation Of the same size
would require six regular and one re,
lief attendants.
The Miller Street Substation was de
signed and constructed for the Elec'
trio Company by Public Service Pro
duction Company. Other automatics
in operation by the Electric Company
in addition to Miller Street are Nor.

during the night the demand for car
service is small compared with that
in the daytime, consequently not as
much power is used, and much of the
machinery at night is shut down.
With the older type of substation the
operator, acting on orders from the
load dispatcher, starts up additional
machines early in the morning so that
there will be plenty of power for the
trolley wires. Not so with the auto
matte substation. AS the early morn
and begin to draw heavily on the pow
er sensitive little electrical instru-
ment in the substation, known as the
starting relay, makes a very slight
movement and things begin to hap
pen.
1t is interesting to watch one of
these large machines, which are capa-
BILE of developing $500 horsepower,
start from rest and be ready to fur
nish power to the trolley wire in about
one minute without the Intervention
of human hand. In much less time
than it takes to tell it a number of
switches, some big and some little,
begin to move, the little switches
making only a slight click, but the big
fellows closing with crash. Then,
with groan like sleeping giant
being aroused, the big machine begins
to turn over and runs faster and faster
until it reaches full speed. 1t is then
automatically connected to the line.
Protective Devices
After the machine is in service va
rious protective devices come into
play, so that if an accident should
happen the machine will be automatic
ally disconnected from service. When
one machine is running the load on it
may increase beyond it's ability to
handle it. When this happens the
second machine goes through the same
starting up movements and helps to
carry the load
Plans are under way providing for
the installation of system of super
visory control Of automatic substa-
tions. This supervisory control will
put into the hands of the load dis
patcher, the man who controls the en-

tion which will enable him to tell i'm

Just what that mysterious power
called electricity is no man has as yet
been able to tell, but the principles
which govern it so it is made to serve
humanity in multitudinous ways are
pretty generally understood. New
methods of control and application,
however, are almost daily being dis
covered. One of the latest of these is
in the operation of the automatic SUBJ
station which, without the necessity
of the usual attendant operators,
sends out current over the wires more
efficiently than if directed by man, be-
cause the automatic makes no errors
The function of any substation in
the electric generation and distribu-
tiOn industry is to step down, or re-
duce, by transformers, the pressure,
or voltage, which is sent to the sub
station by the central power station,
where the electricity is generated.
Thus the high tension current is re-
duced sufficiently to make 1t more
practical to transmit over the various
territory in which the substation is
situated. Also, the consumer is as
sured of a more uniform and steady
supply of electricity than if the cur
rent were sent to him direct from the
central station, usually much great
= err distance away. The substation is
necessary and valuable auxiliary-a
redistribution agency-of the central
station.
OF the seventy substatiOns operated
by Public Service Electric Company
six are automatic. The company has
several other automatics in course of
construction in different parts of New
Jersey. These stations transform
the current Iot only for commercial
power and lighting purposes but for
the operation of trolley cars.
The first automatic to be put in
service by the company was Miller
Street Substation, at Broad and Miller
Streets, Newark. This is one of the
largest combined automatic railway
and commercial substations in the
world. 1t is of the latest design and
equipment
The installation as it now stands
consists of two banks of transform
ers, totaling 5000 KVA and two 1900
XIV automatic motor generator sets.
1t is proposed eventually to increase
the facilities to two 10000 KVA trans
former banks.
How Cars Are Operated
The operation of the apparatus to
furnish power for the cars is the most
complicated. Most of us know that

Of
Superstitions
By H. lRDlNG KING
FooLING GHOSTS

A N OLD-TIME superstition which is
"A still occasionally met with In the
rural districts is that funeral pro-
cession should not return from the
cemetery to the house by the same
route which it traversed before.
In Virginia there Is a prevalent su-
perstition among the colored popula-
tion that after a funeral from the
house the position of the door-knobs
should be changed. The Virginia ne
gro frankly says that this change is
made so that "the ghost cannot find
his way in." The first superstition
mentioned is of kindred nature and
had originally like purpose. 1t was
to throw the ghost Of the departed of
the trail so that he could not find his
way back to the house. Along the
Carolina coast a stake Is sometimes
driven through a grave as soon as a
body is buried to keep the ghost Of
the deceased from 'ha'nting."
Among the peasants all over Europe
there are similar superstitions to these
and among all savage tribes kindred
precautions are taken to keep away
the spirits Of the departed. The Gus
toms under consideration are not re-
lated to the superstitious-which are
many - concerning the protection
against ghosts by means of "charms"
but have to do with primitive mans
conception Of the spirits of the dead as
entities which could be physically"
controlled by sympathetic magic and
easily deceived by the more vigorous
spirits embodied in the living. That
primitive idea is the basis of the mod
ern superstitions mentioned above.

King Oberon had always had a very
