Ohm, Amperes and Volts.
When an electric current is
llowing in the trolley wire or
electric lighting circuit there are
three factors involved. One ot
these is the pressure expressed
in volts which causes the current
to tlow; another is the resistance
or opposition offered by the cir
cuit of the flow which is express
ed in ohms; the last is the cur
rent strength or volume, ex
pressed in amperes, which is
maintained in the circuit as a re
sultof the pressure overcoming
the resistance. The ohm Is
named in honor of George Simon
Ohm, a distinguished German
ejectrician. The volt is named
after the Italian scientist, Volta.
The ampere is named after the
French scientist, Ampere.
Ttieunit of curren1. is called
the ampere. The unit of elec
trical pressure or electromotive
force is called the volt. The unit
of resistence is called the ohm.
The unit of electric power is the
volt-ampere, and this is called the
watt. Seven hundred and forty
six watts per hour equal one
horse-power. The unit of energy
the product of electric power
and time is called the joule, but
this unit is too small for practical
pnr poses and the kilo watt-hour
is used instead. The kilowatt
hour is the work doDe by a thous
and watts working for one houi.
These electrical terms are as
familiar to electrical engineers as
foet and niches are to the aver
age boy; the layman does not un
derstand because be has never
boon taught, has never had to use
the terms, has never read about
them.
It is easier to understand these
terms if we consider electricity
as a fluid and liken it to a current
of water flowing through a pipe.
The rate of flow of water in the
pipe depends upon gravitation
and the height of the reservoir or
source above the outlet. The
greater the height of the reser
voir or source above the out
let, the greater will be the
pressure of the water and the
greater the flow in gallons per
minute. It is just the same with
electricity. A current flows from
a high potential to a low potential
whenever the two are joined by a
conducting wire. It is merely a
difference of level. Watch a
stream of water from the nozzle
of a garden hose striking a bank
of soft earth. Considering it
as a stream of electricity, which
unfortunately cannot be seen,
the force of the Btream or flow ia
the amperage; the wattage the
amount of work done in washing
away the dirt. Suppose the in
tenor of the nozzle and hose is
rough, which offers a resistance
to the ready flow of the stream;
this friction and resistance is
represented by ohms m an elec
tric circuit.
Many Delaware county farm
ers are in love with the black-
snakes on their places, and be
heve the reptiles are better th in
any cats or dogs in removing the
rats and mica from their premis
es. It is a well known fact that
the snakes destroy hundreds of
pests in a season, and for this
reason they are liked by many of
the farmers.

LACK 01- MANNERS.
While it is true, shamefully
true, that the average American
boy and girl are sadly lacking in
manners, it is notoriously true
that there are men and women in
the same boat.
Of course, they were brought
up without manners, therefore,
not born and reared to the man
ner of polite society so-called,
but really polite and well refined.
The fact of the matter is that
those who have shut up into the
social world like mushrooms,
without either social -culture or
refined sense, are the boorishest
of the boors, and the most offen
sive, for their offending is made
all the more distasteful because
of their self-importance.
Do our numerous woman's
clubs ever discuss ill-manners as
a s cial defect? They can find
no better subject for discussion,
nor a more inviting field of labor.
Culture is something that can
not be outlived, nor worn out, nor
even forgotten if once well
grounded in the life of the boy
and girl, and it is one of the best
legacies that can be left to them.

MIDWINTER
Clearance Sale
FK. T 'vj
John S. Wilson's Store,
Three Springs.
While there is practically three months of winter weather
to be expected yet, the wide-awake merchant begins early to clear
his stock to make room for Spring purchases.
The old way of merchandising was to carry over from one
season to another all unsold goods, and never parting with an ar
ticle unless the full retail prices was received. That day Is gone
by. Goods bought for the winter trade must go In the winter, and
it Is much better In the end that the itock should be closed out at
profit or no profit, than to be at the trouble of storing it away
and beginning next winter's business with old out-of-date stutT.
During the Month of February
we shall sell at way-down prices,
Men's, Women's and
Children's Clothing
Blankets, Arctics, Rubbers, Carpets, and
with these goods will go at Special Prices.
Dry Goods, Groceries, Hardware and
Housefurnishing Goods.
We want it distinctly understood that when it
comes to quality of goods we will not be under
sold by anybody. '
