Probably few women and no men realize what this means In labor saving. Where one electric flatiron is now used, the housekeeper used to require at least three six pound "'sad" irons; while one was in use, two had to stand on the stove to heat. Fifteen thousand electric I flatlrons have, therefore, replaced 45,000 "sad" Irons, which at six pounds apiece means 270,000 poundu. This means that 135 tons of old irons have been relegated to cellars, attics and, by some of the less frugal, to the junk heap. Those 270,000 pounds, or 135 tons, of old Irons means, while In use, a tremendous outlay of energy.

Their use required on every Ironing day an exertion of strength equivalent to 2,400 horsepower. No one likes to think of the work his wife, his daughters or even his servants have to do in terms of horsepower. In some countries women are still made to take the place of oxen and horses in the fields, but not in our free United States. In addition to the saving in horsepower, or, oegging your pardon, woman power, there has been tremendous saving In steps. An enthusiast at figures has estimated that the substitution of an electric laundry iron for three "sad" irons saves for the woman, who has made the change, 200 miles In a year cf walking to and fro in a beaten path between the ironing board and the range.

The 15,000 tlatirons (and there must be thousands more of which no rec ord can be secured) therefore, save the women of Greater Boston 3,000,000 miles of walking in the course of a year.

SCRANTON ELECTRIC COMPANY I r.m 1 VITAL SPARK IN ELECTRIC COIL How Faraday's Discovery Has Come Into Active Service. Ruhmkorff's Invention. Automobiles, gas engines, telephones, and many other electrical devices utilize induction coils, but few of Us really Just how the "coil" works.

The induction coil was discovered by Faraday many years ago. It has been in active service ever since, but only of late years has it come into common use. Today it furnishes the vital spark that drives the automobile, the motor boat, the flying machine and the submarine. Without it there would be no telephone or telegraph. Aside from these Important duties the induction coll Is used in medical batteries, in wireless telegraphy, in ray and other scientific work.

When an Induction coll Is used in connection with medical apparatus it is called a medical coil. When it is used for gas engine ignition It Is generally called a "spark coil." Under this common name it Is being manufactured by the million, in various designs, for ignition service in automobiles, motor boats, motorcycles, submarines and isolated gas electric lighting plants. An induction coil is a small transformer. That Is, it transforms, raises or lowers, the pressure, or voltage, of an electric current. An Induction coil consists essentially of a sleeve, or tube, covering a core made up of a bundle of soft iron wires, a primary coil, a secondary coil, and a device for making and breaking the primary circuit The primary and secondary coils are wound over the sleeve containing the soft iron core.

Sometimes the primary and secondary coils are placed side by side; sometimes they are wound concentrically. The circuit breaker, as Its name Implies, automatically interrupts the current set up in the primary by the source of electrical energy. Stripped of technicalities, the operation of the Induction coil may be said to bo due to continuous interrupting of the primaYy circuit, the rapid mako and break affecting the. secondary circuit inductive. This inductive effect of the primary on the secondary is in direct proportion to the relative number of turns in these two coils nature and shape of the magnetic path, and the frequency of interruption.

The primary coll consists of a few turns of coarse wire, the secondary of a large number of turns of fire wire. Either, or both colls may consist of one large coil or a group of smaller colls. In the latter case several combinations of primary and secondary voltages can be obtained by varying the total number of turns impressed Into service. The result is usually that the secondary pressure, or voltage, is always largely In excess of that of the primary. Ample insulation between the coils and the core and the coils themselves is provided so as to prevent possible break down and short circuit due to excessively high pressure in the secondary.

By proper 1 calculation and design, makers of induc tion coils can produce colls with any com bination of primary and secondary voltages. The core over which these coils are wound is composed of soft iron wires so as to afford a path of low resistance for the magnetic circuit set up by the currents flowing in the coils. The presence of this soft iron core greatly increases the range and efficiency of the Induction coil. This effect is readily observed In so called medical coils, the amount of shock being regulated by sliding the soft iron core in and out of the instrument. Medical colls give a lower secondary voltage or pressure than ordinary induction coils.

The interrupting device connected with the primary coil is equpped with platinum, tungsten, or other hard metal contact points. A hard metal must be used for these contact points as the sparking due to the break in the primary circuit would quickly destroy ordinary metals. A special form of induction coil formerly known as a spark coil is now called a "kick coil." It is wound with a large number of turns of coarse wiire ana does not employ a secondary or a circuit breaker. This coll Is used for Igniting gas Jets In places where illuminating gas is used. Another specal type of induction coll has been developed for use in telephone work.

Unlike the ordinary induction coil, this coil has no iron core. Induction coils are often called Ruhm korff being named after their inventor. At this point it might not be out of place to remark that the Ruhmkorff, or In duction, coil Is based on the open core, or open magnetic circuit, principle. The coll disaovered and Invented by Faraday, on the contrary, Is based on the closed core, or closed magnetic circuit principle. RING DOOR BELLS WITHOUT BATTERIES A small device, for sale by local electric dealers, will ring the door bell.

It Is called a bell rinplng transformer. This miniature transformer Is designed to do away with the batteries now used for such purposes. It is connected to the electric lighting system in the homes and after once Installed will last for years w.thout attention. Such a transformer may also be used to operate annunciator systems or oper ate electrical toys. A COO WIRE NEWS THAT ELECTRIC FAN IS THE THING RIGHT NOW "It's nice, but I'm sure I couldn't manage It," exclaimed the lady of the house as the salesman showed her a Mnall electric fan suitable for the home.

"Ohv thatls easy enough, laughed the salesman. Very deftly he attached the lead cord to the lamp socket by unscrewing the lrmp bulb and screwing in the fan plug attached to the end of the cord. "Now, you sec," he continued, "all that is necessary is to move this little switch attached to the base of the fan." Instantly the fan set up its cooling breeze. But they are so expensive," she protested. The salesman laughed.

"It is not expensive," he assured her. "This eight inch fan sells for but $8.50 and must remember that with reasonable care it will last a lifetime. This first cost of the fan is the largest item of expense, because It consumes less than a quarter of a cent's worth of current an hour. It will keep the dining room' cool during the dinner hour for a small fraction of a cent." The electric fan, being somewhat of a new device, is little understood. For! years it was rarely ever seen in the home, being considered an office and store necessity.

But now it is being purchased for home use. It is not hard to understand the eloc tric fan and any child can attach it to the electric light socket and start it running. The fan consists of three essential parts the small electric motor which drives it, the propoller fan which moves the current of air and th" standard to support this mechanism. The fans are also equipped with a little device fori regulating the speed, which increases or. decreases the amount of air current, and a mechanism for oscillating or moving the fan to and fro, so as to distribute the air current to all parts of the room.

The tiny electric motor differs In no way from the large alcctric motors of the same type used to drive machinery in mills and factories. It consists of a rotating armature, turning in a magnetic field, the shaft of which is extended so that the fan blades can be fastened to it with" a set screw. The fan proper is merely a brass propeller, consisting of four to sis curved blades, fastened to the rotating armature shaft. These blades, when revolved very rapidly, move a large voiunio of air in a steady, cooling breeze. Electric fans need practically no attention other than an occasional oiling.

There being no wearing points, except the armature shaft journals, it cannot wear out for years and years. The first cost of an electric fan Is very nominal, considering the amount of material and labor required to make a good, serviceable fan. The cost of electricity to operate such a tan is a mere fraction of a cent an hour. The co3t of maintenance and repairs is practically nothing, with reasonable care. The electric fan can be used in every room In the house where there is an electric light socket.

It Is light' and easily carried from place to place. Provided with a long cord, In which are concealed the Insulated current carrying wires, it can be located almost anywhere in the room from the window sill to the mantle. No one disputes the value of an electric fan on a hot, suVry dty when there is not a breath of air stirring outdoors. 26 Time and Saved By Electricty DINING TABLE HAS FOUNTAIN Odd Garden Effect Produced By New Electric Invention For Homes. An electric fountain without any water connection and spraying perfumed water adorns the dining table of an 4.

uptown home in New York. The de vice works by nieans of a pump and motor concealed in the base of a Louis XIV jardiniere All the houscwifo has to do is to connect the fountain plug with the nearest electric socket and fill the urn with water. A small bottle of perfume is added. The same water Is used over and over again, The aerated water moistens the air. A mild antiseptic may even be added, which will sterlize the house atmosphere.

Like other home electrical devices, those fountains may be moved from place to place. The device lias been so perfected that favoite vases urns or jardinieres may be converted into fountains, thus adding a striking touchl to the new home electrical. NEW lintULAK ALARM Reports on new suburban homes show a markel favoritism for interphone systems, which give the householder private room connections. Houses are being wired for the inter Phone without the expense exceeding that required to install the old fashioned push butons. This new use of the dry battery has proved its weight in gold, for often times one has not tho courage to get up and put a burglar to rout.

With a house telephone in each room a few hurried words exchanged throughout the house marshal all the occupants in a few moments and the burglar if burglar there be finds flight the safer part of boldness.f Other dry battery alarms have been recently perfected so that the entlro household is aroused as soon as the intruder places his hand or foot Inside a window. Bells are connected' with wires leading to all parts of the house. The wires are set in frames of doors and windows so that if they are opened the action presses springs together under the same conditions as cause the ordinary push button to operate. BIILDI.VG HAS Kl.KCTIUC ML" SIC. Among the many unique and pleasing features which niako the Woolworth building more than a massive pile of architecture, with a clrtirn to interest only on account of its sheer size, are the electrically operated bells and chimes found in the "rathskeller" of the building.

The temple bell outfit consists of twenty bells ranging in Intervals from low to hish G. The bell3 are mounted upon felt covered oak disks and each bell is fitted with a resonator which is bolted to tho supporting frame of the bell. It will supply a cool, refreshing breeA in any part of the house, night or day, at a cost of less than that of an ordinary electric lamp. The old idea that the electric fan created dangerous draft3 was exploded long ago. ThH fan does not produce a draft, but a steady, gentle movement of the entire atmosphere of a room.

It Is quite possible to keep cool and cheerful on the hottest day if there is a movement of air current to cool the body by the evaporation of perspiration. ro Ta 3 '4 i Cleaners Electric Irons i AVENUE essea im mm LET US SHOW YOU OUR 55 Electric Fans Vacuum 9 3 Summer Porch Lamps and a hundreds other electric wonders that will save you work A I and make home more "comfy" and inviting, Ihouck CROSS 1 'nsbis I 338 ADAMS urn KG DINING ROOM.
