Likens Modern Life to
 Pieceuork in Factory

Life Is getting more and more like piecework in factory" says pr. Mary Dunning Rose, president of the Wom- en's Medical society of the state of New York.
 You push on to see If you can't do just little extra all the time. And there is always that push to do more.
 If you drive notorcar, and many people do, your nerves are shocked every time you take the wheel
 "Women need more sleep. Eight to ten hours. Some are better off with twelve.
 "The fact that so many in New York city eat in restaurants accounts for the fact that our death rate Is lower than elsewhere in the state. People don't order or eat more than they need in a restaurant. Operated under the board of health, public places must have fresh. good food. not the spoiled products they sold 20 years ago."
 Doctor Rose recommends her own profession as a particularly satisfying one for her own sex, since 1t demands qualifications usually found in wom- en, patience, sympathy and attention to detail-qualifcations which will not be wasted In such career.
 "We need more doctors." continued Doctor Rose. "All those I know are busy. Of course, 1t takes years of preparation, and business career seems to bring results more quickly" -Margery Rex. in the New York Journal

How This Fish Walks

AS waters inhabited by climbing
perch dry up, the existing puddles be-
come overstocked, and the fish leave
their old home, says Nature Magazine
They depart by hundreds travelling
over the land,~~ scattering in all direc-
lions. Then the gill covers are fully
extended and the pectoral fms spread
out. The former are bent outward
like joint the pointed ends seeking
a firm hold; by twisting and turning
movement of the body the creature Is
jerked forward. Then the spines of
the gill covers again seek firm hold.
In this way the climbing perch is
able to move quite rapidly. If the fish
do not find water, they will dig them
selves into the mud and can be found
at a depth Of one and half feet.

Plant Almost Human,

= Operating without human control,
hating while minor difficulties are ad-
justed and stopping altogether If
something goes seriously wrong a
new electric power station at Sears
burg, VT, embodies astonishing me-
chanieal intelligence, says Popular
Science Monthly.
The turbine of the plant drives a
generator with capacity of $500
horsepower. The only help from hui
man beings is occasional inspection,
fabrication and regulation of the gov
ernor mechanism. The turbine starts
when sufficient water arrives and
shuts down when the flow falls be-
low an efficient limit

complaints that may be received from
consumers.
There are times, in cases of fires or
accidents, when it is necessary to dis
connect the circuit Immediately, and
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
of button.
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 lis cars for an
hour or two during the rush hour Pc
Rod
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
ply power to the motor generator sets
and commercial feeders, are automIt-
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 amount
ing to about 10000 KVA will be
utilized for lighting and power. To
gain an idea OF this capacity, try to.
imagine $4,000 electric coasters or
fiatirons all going at once, or 800, 900
ordinary 50-watt lamps all lighted at
the same time. The statement that
this amount Of energy would drive
1000 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-

Other devices are installed to help

WHEN INDIAN FISHES
ITS WORK, NOT SPORT
Naturally Lazy, He Uses the
Sure and Simple Method.

He has three ways of doing it-with
gill-net, with a dip-net, and with a
gaff-hook. The familiar hook and
line of the white man he scorns as
being too slow and entailing too much
hard work. What the Indian wants
is the fish. He cares nothing about
the sport of the thing. nor the thrill
of landing a 12-poupd beauty with an
eight-ounce rod and slender silk
line; leave that to the crazy white
man who has nothing selse to do. The
Indian wants the fish, and the easier
he can get them the better he likes
1t, and the more time he has for sleep.
His favorite way Of catching salmon
is by the use of the sill-net, since this
method leaves him the maximum
amount of time for his previously men
toned sleep. A gill-net is a straight
piece Of netting about twelve feet long
and Ave or six feet wide. One side has
wooden floats and the other heavy
leaden weights. SO 1t Will hang per-
pendicular In the water. On either
end ia stone anchor to keep lie
stretched out.
Setting the net is an easy process
He chooses an eddy or deep pool in
the river and floats by In his canoe
with the net piled In the stern When
the proper spot is reached, he kicks
one of the anchors overheard. This
settles to the bottom of the river and
pulls the net out over the stern as the
canoe floats leisurely on. When all
the net Is out of the canoe, he kicks
the other anchor overheard and his
work Is done. His labors over for
the day, the Indian wends his home
ward way and sinks into repose until
the morrow. leaving the net to catch
his meal. says Adventure Magazine.
The water Of the Nooksack river Is
never very clear; usually 1t is muddy.
This makes 1t hard for the salmon to
see. and thereby brings about their
undoing. They swim around in the
eddies and pools In search of food and
" net Is there. they are sure to run
into 1t head-first In the course of a
day or two. The meshes of the net are
not quite large enough to let an aver
age-sized salmon through. He gets half
way through, and then tries to back
out. AS he backs out, the meshes of
the net catch under his gills and he
stays there till the owner of the net
pulls him out.
Next day the Indian comes back in
his canoe and pulls the net up, nsu-
ally finding four or Ave salmon in 1t.
These he either takes home or hides
under a log so he can tell his wife
whore to find them. With this supply
Of fsh, he betakes himself to rest and
does not stir abroad again for week
or 80. or until such time as his larder
lie empty

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
ing cars pull out from the car house
and begin to draw heavily on the pow
er a sensitive little electrical instru-
ment in the substation, known as the
starting relay. makes 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 1t takes to tell 1t number of
switches, some big and some little,
begin to move, the little switches
making only slight click, but the big
fellows closing with crash. Then,
with groan like a 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 y
After the machine is in service va
rious protective devices come into
play, so that il an accident should
happen the machine will be automatic
ally disconnected from service. When
one machine is running the load on il
may increase beyond It's ability to
handle 1t. When this happens the
second machine goesthrough 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
tons. This supervisory control will
put into the hands of the load dis
patcher, the man who controls the en-
tire electric power system, informa
ton which will enable him TO tell i'm
mediately when a circuit is automat
ically disconnected. In this way short

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. Que of the latest of these is
in the operation of the automatic sub
station which, without the necessity
of the usual attendant operators,
sends out current over the wires more
efficiently than IL directed by man, be-
cause the automatic makes no errors.
The function of any substation in
the electric generation and distribu-
ton 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 it more
practical to transmit over the various
circuits which serve the immediate
territory in which the substation is
situated Also, the consumer Is as
sured OF more uniform and steady
supply of electricity than II the cur
rent were sent to him direct from the
central station, usually much great
err distance away The substation Is a
necessary and valuable auxiliary-a
redistribution .agency-of the central
station
or 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 not 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 Satisfaction, 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 1900 KvA and two 1900

the facilities to two 10000 KvA trans
former banks.
