The until lent Ion of Hectrleltv to aff.i:rs domestic is a subject that do niiimis the attention of all mankind. For some time past electricity lias C. r. ropjwr bottom: 9 C. allt't pfment; I. . BiH-cinMT urswn cntii'cr wires. memo A SI) BOTTOM or KtTTI.R. been used In a limited way by the demonstrators at various "food show" cooking school It required the World's Fair to hrlng the subject be fore the public In all Its prominence. What does electric cooking mean? It means the absence of the old-fash loncd range an! more n coal! no smoke! no ashes. It means no build ing of kitchen Arcs on hot summer mornings; It means the emancipation of tiro builders. The workings of the electric cur rent arc less understood by the gen eral public than any other subject connected with our mercantile and domestic life. The current may tie likened to running water, and with this Idea ono has tho best Illustra tion. If water be run thtough a plpo two Inches In diameter, into a small er pipe, say one Inch In diameter, tho result attained Is pressure in the smaller pipe. Itun electricity through a wire onc-cjuartcr Inch In diameter, and It gives no apparent result, but turn this same current Into a smaller wire and the result Is heat, as shown In tho ordinary incandescent lamp. The small wire cannot haudlo the current fast enough: therefore It gets hot. This Is the fact that governs electric cooking. The reader may say, "This Is plain so far, but tho electrrc light globe has practically no heat about it." Tho explanation Is this: The wire in the electric light globe Is In a vacuum and Is on this account surrounded to a certain cx tont by a non-conductor, henco tho heat radiation Is very small. If it were possible to surround a red hot stovo with a glass caso and to pump all the air frmu the case, tho heat would not be felt to any great degree. Imagine an ordinary frying pan with a veil of tin'? wire beneath it, this wire surrounded with a packing which would retain and sonvey the heat, the wire and pack covered with a metal ca?e as l.tCTnlCAt. RTEWPA. ihown by tho dark ring on tho bot tom of the pan in tho illustration. Tho pan with tho electrical arrange ment docs .not differ from tho ordi nary pan, except for tho fact that it is slightly heavier and has a wire at tached. Hy connecting this wlro with the socket board and turning a button, similar to that on tho elec tric light, the pan is heated almost as quickly as tho explanation is made. The broiler, oven, cotleo pot, tea kettle and hot water tank aro all operated in the same manner. Tho advantages of using electricity are so great and so numerous that it would be impossible to convey the facts on paper. Suffice it to say that there is noncof the disagreeable dust or heat, no smoke nor dauger of tire. In tho ordinary stovo tho heat gen erated is 100 per cent. Of this heat 8d per cent goes up tho chimney, 1.1 per cent warms the air lit the room and Incidentally the cook; tho re. malning 5 por cent, is all that can be u-ed for cooking. With tho new appliances nearly all tho heat Is utilized In cooking, ami the radiation Is scarcely perceptible; heueo tho economy. For example, take tho flat iron. Ironing day in summer It dreaded by all who hive to do with it. Hy using the electric iron the work seems a pleasure compared with the old way. The Iron hi attached to tho socket, and In ono minute It Is hot, and Its heat Is all on the. under side. It re mains at an even temperature all day, and one iron is all that Is re quired. The cost of running an iron is about two cents per hour. The eloctrlc iron may bo attached to an ordinary incandescent lamp socket by removing tho globe and screwing the Iron wire In place. The oven may be run for Ave cents an hour and the broiler for the same figure. The oven beat may bo graduated by means of a switch. Pans and pots can be run at about the samo cost The fact that the current Is used only for the time of cooking makes tho cost somewhat loss than when coal Is used. Tl ere aro a number of kitchens In practical uso In New York and Ilrook lyn. says a New York paper, and tho tuost desirable results aro obtained. An Electrical Kllchtn. In the kitchen of these bouses the coal stove has no place; and the gas-Jot for lighting or heating Is un known. All cooking and water-heat Ing la done by the electrical current, which the cook switches on from th wires In the kitchen wall as she re quires It Against tho wall stands a table, or rather a small bureau, titled with drawers and doors, and with a top of solid, blue slate. This Is tho stove, but It has no direct connection with tho heating or cooking. It merely serves as a table on which to place the electrical cooking utensils which are all thus highly Insulated. To th left stands tho boiler, In which the water is kept at a gentlo beat. On the same side, on an Iron stand, Is tho electric oven, divided into sev eral compartments, tho upper of which Is the plate-warmer. J'lpos aro cd from the boiler to the sink fau cets on tho other side of tho bureau. Hung over a hook In the wall arc a number of twisted cords, with a glass screw-plug at one end and a push-plug at the other. These cords aro made of very fine copper threads twisted together and Insula ted by rubber and cotton. Each cord has two strands, ca h of which Is a condu'tor. one for tho negative and one for the poltive. In early days these were distinguished by making thcui of different colors, but this practice has been abandoned alnco It was discovered that it did not matter w hich course the current took, t'pon other hooks, or shelves, aro tho cooking utensils tea pots, coffee-pots, saucepans, frytng-pin, water-kettles, stew-pans, etc. An entire outfit is there, and each utensil Is within easy reach of tho cook. There is also ranged on the shelves a series of flat irons. Above the table, or bureau.aro a number of receptacles to receivo the screw-plugs, which are attached to tho ends of the cords, and abovo each Is a smalt switch, of which all that can be seen is a small project- tunmi'Ai. rt.AT iron. Ing key similar to that used In tho gas-cocks of chandeliers. The mode of operation Is extreme ly simple, ami the densest greenhorn could familiarize herself with it in less than five min'ites. If an order comes to the kitchen .'or some coffee, Mary takes down the coffee-pot, charges It with the fragrant berry and the due amount of water, and stands It upon tho slate bureau, top. She then unhooks ono of tho cords and screws the glass plug into its re ceptacle on the wall: the other end of the cord has tsvo small plugs. These she pushes Into receptacles in the base of tho pot, and turns the switch, in a few minutes the water is boiling, and in a few more the stimulating liquid ascends to the epicures upstairs. The process la Just v. aircp'.e for a'.'. ZZ.Z- -ten-alls. All are operated in the same way. Nothing could be simpler and noihlngln the cooking way cleaner. Tho process of stowing, however, requires different conditions. Here It Is necessary to regulate the amount of heat so that tho stew may be kept at the right temperature. Tho regu lation Is effected by wiring tho cir cuits In a special manner, so that the various necessary temperatures can be obtained. Perfection In the system was not obtained without much thought and considerable experiment. Resistance wires that is, wires which aro not good conductors, and which offer re sistance tf the passage of the electri cal current and become heated In tho process were tlrst wrapped In asbes tos. This was too crude, and tho wires were then imbedded In enair el. Here the fun began. Knamel after enamel was tried, but almost as soon as tho current was turned onto tho wires, crack would go the enamel, and tho Usk had to be renewed. Finally an enamel of silicate, or, rather, a cement, was discovered, and electric-cooking became a fact. Its application to the uteusll may bo seen from tho Illustration. Kltctrlit Own and I'trnll. Electric ovens aru usually provided with several circuits, placed atthe top or sides. It Is divided into several compartments, each of which can bo supplied with heat at adifferenttem porature, so that meat may be cook ing In tho lower and tho plates kept 1LECTRIO KtTTia. mildly warm In the upper. Theoven Is air-Jacketed and has bright in terior surfaces, o that all the beat is retained. A small Incandescent lamp suspended In the Interior permits of the cook watching the cooking pro cess through a small window of thick, transparent mica These ovens, when heated for a quarter of an hour, carry on most cooking operations without further heating. They act like bakers' ovens, where the Are la applied for a certain time and then raked out after which the oven bas to carry on the baking for the rest of the day with the beat contained In Itself. These ovens will, probably, be brought into more com mon ute by the companies supplying current, which will push their use as 'the gas companies are pushing the gas stoves. The electric griddle- Is Just an Iron plate, upon the bottom of which aro set tho wires In a bed of enamel: and during tho World's Fair a skillful colored cook was kept pretty bu-y during the day turning out buck wheat and griddle cakes to an ad miring throng, composed mostly of women. Tho gridiron Is perhaps tho only kitchen utensil which cannot bo directly heated. Hut an electric fire to grill things over Is obtained by running tho baro wires closely to gether in and out over a small as bestos mat As soon a i tbc current Is switched on the wires I ocomo In candescent and a strong heat Is COOH SO CTISStL. thrown upward toward the meat or tlsh set over It on the gridiron. The fumes arc carried off up a special chimney. The rapid adaptation of elei trlclty to the heating of tlatlrons and the gen eral work of a laundry Is proved by a caso In England, where a birge build-' Ing, formerly a llotirmill. was turned into a steam laundry. The old mill waterwheel was turned to uecount in driving an eighty-light dynamo, and not only Is the whole building lighted by electricity, but all the linen U smoothed and glossed iy the electric ally heated Irons. The outlay was small; the satisfaction complete. Electricity is an excellent servant, and it Is slowly being trained to new duties. Its uses are manifold, and Its lenetlts Innumerable. The only obstafle to Its general use for house hold purpose Is tho high price of both utensils and current. The utensils aro undergoing a process of cheapening, an 1 we may shortly see electrical cooking nnd heating a mat ter of as everyday occurrence as the gas stovo. PEOPLE WHO EAT CLAY.
