How the Electric "Juice" Makes the Wheels Go Around--Light on Modern Mystery. The Tory Times. Few of all the millions of people who ride annually on the electric cars un- derstand the mysterious force which drives them so rapidly up and down the tracks. With a slight turn of the controller handle the motorman stops the big car on the corner in obedience to your signal, and no sooner are you aboard than the car glides rapidly forward and speeds along the track, to be as, quickly stopped and started farther down the street. To the superstitions foreigners the electric cars are very mystifying, and, be it known, it is very puzaling to anyone, but an electrical engineer, to tell just how the electric cars are pro LL It was only twenty-two years that Frank Sprague ran the first elec- tric car the world ever saw at Rich- mond, Va., and siee that time they have been improved until they are the perfect conveyance so common and well patronized to-day. Electric cars depend upon electricity sor energy. This electricity is gener. ated in a power house cither by de- veloped water power or by steam en- gines. Because of the simplicity of construction alternating current gen- erators are generally used; but alters nating current is seldom used in street railway work. This fact makes it neces sary to change the alternating cur- rent, which surges back and forth over the lines, to direct current which flows always one way. This change is effected with rotary converters. The converter looks like a generator, but in reality it'only changes the nature of the current with a very trifling loss in efficiency. This direct current electricity is fed to the trolley wire at a pressure of about 550 volts. The trolley wire is familiar to all as a Vy copper wire Suspioniied over the tracks from insulated guy wires. In a few instances especially in New York, London, Chi- cago and other large cities, the wire carrying the current is laid under: ground and the trolley coutact is un- der the car, or for heavy work the 'third rail" is used and the current collected from a rail by a sliding shoe. Rails Complete Circuit. In every case where electricity is used for power purposes the current has to be "grounded," for return or a return wire used so as to complete the circuit with the power house. In the case of electric railways the rails are either welded or "bonded" together with straps of copper and for this tum circuit. mn a car is to be run ona rail way line the (rolley is released ay the little brass wheel presses agsinst the trolley wire. The wide flanges "of hia wiel kept it from ruoming off, and a heavy spring keeps it ti against the wire. . ™ The electricity, which is to drive the motors loca under the car, passes through the brass wheel and down the metal trolley rod to insulated cables concealed in the roof of the car, These cables lead to a "circuit breaker" in the roof of the vestibule. The duty of the "circuit breaker" is to "break" or shut of the current when the load gets too heavy for the motors, because an overloaded motor would destroy itself by burning out in Sn effort to carry more than ite capa: city. The circuit breaker, which is a very simple contrivance, takes the place of the old time "fuse," so prone to "blow out" at the most inopportune moments. From the civouit breaker the current is carried to the controller, which is an upright, oval irom box in each end of the car. It may be stated here that the equipment is the same on either end of the car so it can be rua either way without turning around. The controller is worked by two ad- justable handles, the smaller of which is used only to reverse the motors. With the larger handle the contact points inside the device are opened and closed te increase or decrease the speed and pulling power of the motors. Corresponding to the movements of the handle the current passes from the contact points to s series of resistance grids located under the car. These cast iron grids resist the current or hold it back. When the controller handle is moved up to a notch one of these grids is cut out and the resis tance is reduced, incressing the elec: tricity which goes to the motors. As from point ago : i i § i f j fi sie Ff a YOUNG WOMEN AS FARMERS. ---- How Two Missouri Girls Cared for Estate Left by Parents. Kansas City Star. A Missouri young woman has proy- ed that A woman's ' sphere" is a very elastic thing by going into the fields and performing a man's work on her own farm. She is Miss Loretta Jud. son, twenlysour years old, of Caddo, Webster" county. When the young woman and her sister, Miss Daisy Judson, two years her jumior, lost both parents in a runaway accident three years ago, the sympathetic neighbors were sorry What would become of them? of course, to keep the farm and live in question, the neighbors believed. At that time farm land was very cheap in the Ozarks and it was realized that but little could be obtained from a sacrifice sale of the eighty acres of upland. 4 The girls made it koown that they intended to make their own way in the world and that they intended to do it on the old homestead. And they set to work, the younger sister as housekeeper and the older sister as & worker in the fields. Miss Jud son now has one of the best farms in Webster county. In th» springtime Miss Judson may be seen in the with' he team of big black early in the morning plowing land for the coming crop of corn oats. A little Iater in the season she hitches her team to the check rower and plants the corn. After the corn comes up she takes her cultivator and keeps it clear of weeds, throughout the season, She practises rotation of crops, intending to. sow a field in clover every fourth year. Her main crops are corn, wheat, oats and clover, She owns all her own machinery and can drive a binder as well as any farmer. Miss Judson never sells any of the grain or hay from the farm. She feeds it to hex cattle, horses, hogs and sheep. She keeps only registered hogs and sheep and has a good grade of shorthorn cows. She rears good colts each year, and attends to breaking of these herself. She can ride the wildest "colt and teaches the young animals that she is master, In the winter months Miss Judson cuts enough wood to last through the coming spring and summer and at tends the repairing of the farm build- ings and fences. A good stone hen house was built by the elder girl for her sister, who cares for the poultry. Large flocks of chickens, turkeys and goese are marketed by the girls each year, * The girls take pleasure in showing visitors over the farm and talking of their plans to build up the place and make further improvements, but they never boast of having done anything that any other girls would not have done. They are able not only to show a well kept farm, but they can drive the visitor over a stretch of good roads in front of the place. This is due to the belief of Miss Loretta in the virtues of the road drag. She has a heavy drag and after a rain she uses' it on what she considers her part «f the public highway. This part of the road never causes the road supervisor any trouble and js one of the few pieces oi road in the county that is kept in good con. dition the vear round, Loretta fields horses the or goon Teacher Too Fastidious. Henceforth fastidious publie sehool teachers must not demand that cuses for absence shall be written in ink on perfumed notepaper. Such js the dictwm that has been issued from the chief inspector's office, ful. lowing a complaint made that a teacher in Jones-avenue school refused a note written in péneil, When asked about the matter, gpector Hughes states "She has right to refuse a note scribbled brown paper, so long as it is legible and genuine. There are many homes in this city where notepaper is not always handy, and well take a note that's written with the worst of pen- cils on the shabbiest of brown paper if the signature is genuine and if we can vead it."
