The greatest novelty in cooking appliances nt the Fair is unquestionably he apparatus for cooking by electricity, shown in operation in the gallery ?f tlnj Electricity Building. The electric current is conducted into elates of enamel, where it meets with resistance and is converted into heat. These plates are attached to specially joust rueted ovens, broilers, griddles, latirons, etc. An ordinary stewpan, roll'ee or tea j>ot, or steam cooker may (mated on the "disk heater." An outlit of articles necessary for a private house costs rJdO, or &77.<r>0 if a heater for a kitchen boiler is included. Electricity hnH the same advantages over coal that gas has; its advantages over gas depend upon the fact that combustion, with its needs and limitations, is wholly done away with. There are i no products of complete or accidentally j imperfect combustion, there is not even a slight loss of heat into the room or up the Hue. The strongest points of electrical cooking are comfort and convenience, but claims are made lor it also on the score of economy. It is said that the cost of cooking by electricity i? less thiui the cost with coal ami about the same as where fuel-gas is used. This is on the supi position that the electricity is furI nishod at half the price charged for i lighting.?Popular Science Monthly, ' Epidemic of Stuttering.
