No matter how much electricity is ised for light, heat and power one eldom gives a thought to how this wonderful force is created and disributed for our service and convenence. At the pressure of a buttom lie electric lamp bursts into brilliant ight, the electric range is ready for ooking or the vacuum cleaner beans its sanitary work. Whence comes this mysterious orce? How is electricity produced? Contrary to what most of us may ?e lead to believe electricity is not :ept in stock at the electric light staion, or power house, the same as su;ar, flour or other necessary comnodities are kept in a grocery store. Neither is it stored up, like water in he city reservoir, ready to be used n demand. When we turn the fauet at the sink the water which ushes forth has been stored in a. arge reservoir and conducted to the ity through large iron pipes and hen through smaller pipes to the :ouses where it is to be used. Xo such system is employed in roducing and distributing elecricity. Electricity must be made at he power house the moment it is Lsed. No matter how many lamps ou have in your home, the lighting ompany must have the machinery eady to light these lamps at any noment, day or night. As a rule a ew of the lamps are used at one irr>^ hut tho ppntral station must K/ U V V** V v w ? ? tave the capacity to take care of all if them. This applies to your neigh?ors as well, and a lot of electrical aachinery .must be kept standing idle n the power house in order to be eady for instant "peak load." Electricity is a form of energy. It equires power to produce it. At the lectric light station the machines fhich produce electric current, calld generators, are driven by steam, r gas engines, or by waterwheels. 'he electrical generator merely hanges the mechanical energy of he steam engine, or the waterwheel, nto electrical energy. Electricity annot be seen; it cannot be "hafriled," yet it is a mistaken notion hat we do not know much about it. Ve really know a great deal about t. We can measure its pressure, or oltage, its flow, or amperage, its fork, or wattage. We can make it o a thousand tasks, to answer our very order and whim. The electrical current produced by he generators is carried by heavy ables to a switchboard, which is merely a convenient device to handle nd distribute the current about the ity over slender wires, as needed, 'his switchboard carries the measrins: instruments, the switches rhich send the current out over the arious lines, etc. One switch throws on" the street lighting eirufFat (ftrskrand throws it off again t daylight. Another controls the ower circuit, another the lighting ircuit, and so on. The question of cost for electricity 3 also very puzzling. Most of us annot understand why we should ay more for electric light than for lectric ranges or for electric power, 'his is easily explained. We use the lectric lamps only a part of the day, ften for only six or eight hours in he evening. The rest of the day! he lamps are not burned, but the ighting company must maintain its >lant, and keep its force and mahines ready for twenty-four hours , day in order to serve all the peo?le for the few hours the lamps are equired.

Gruesome War Sport Outcome of Unbearable Uncertainty. Between the British and German modern machine warfare, wherein every man was supposed to have become a pawn without initiative of his own, writes a correspondent from British headquarters in France, has been developing perhaps the deadliest form of sport imagination can conceive. Hardly a day passes without a trench "raid" by one side or the other, and sometimes several such sallies. No subject is more tabooed in its details bv the censor. Commanders do not want to let the enemy know why their raids succeed or fail, or why the enemy's succeed or fail. Invention fights invention; secrecy fights secrecy. All the elements of boxing, wrestling, fencing and mob tactics, plus the stealth of the Indian, who crept up 011 a camp on the plains, and ^team work of a professional baseball nine, are valuable to the player. The weapon that is least needed is a rifle. A club, or a sandbag, or an Indian battle axe or spiked club is better. A good slugger, without any weapon at all, may take an adversary's loaded rifle away from him and knocking him down and kicking him to death. The monotony of trench existence these days is broken preparing for and against raids. Battalion commanders work out schemes of strategy which would have won them fame in smaller wars. Fifty or a thousand men may be engaged in a raid. It may be on a front of 50 or 1,000 yards. Its object is to take as many prisoners and kill and wound as many of the enemy as possible in a few minutes. The assaulters try to hold on to the piece of trench they have taken, the gun* are turned on them, the bombers close up on either side, and machine guns and rifles are prepared to sweep the zone of retirement. An uncanny curiosity gives the soldiers incentive for the raids. Ordinarily they never see their enemy hidden in his burrows across "Nc Man's Land." Unseen bullets from unseen snipers crack overhead. Unseen guns suddenly concentrate in a deluge of shells. For months this sort of thing goes on and the trenches * of the adversaries remain always in the same, place; the grim monotony of casualties and watching continues. This arouses the desire to "get at" the enemy which the trench raid satisfies. It means springing over the parapet and rushing across "No Man's Land" into the veryhouses of the enemy and, man to man on his doorstep, proving which is a better fighter. To go over the parapet ordinarily means death. In order to make any such rush there must be "interference" as they say' in football, and the barb wire in front of the 'enemy's trench must be cut. This is usually done by guns, which become more and more dead'y in their ability to turn accurate sprays of destruction on given points. They cover the rush and they cover the return of the raiders with their prisoners. But the guns are not all; there is all hinds of organized trickery to en able a body of soldiers to get into the enemy's trenches for a few minutes of activity, when the occupants throw themselves on their invaders at such quarters that it is a question if even a revolver is now a practical weapon. It cannot be thrown over a traverse, and a bomb can. Valuable Information Secured. There have been trench raids where every man who went out was responsible for a casualty or prisoner while the raiders' own loss might not have been one in ten to the enemy's. There are also failures. Success requires that every detail should work out right. The British inaugurated trench raiding which the Germans promptly adopted. Where its development will end no one dares to say. One advantage of any raid is that those who return are bound to bring back some information oi value to the intelligence corps. Officers in'the trenches, as well as officers in other military units, usually wear steel corsets as a protection against spent bullets. "Score one for the -breastplate," said an officer who had been doubled over by a shell fragment which hit him in the abdomen. All that was visible was an abrasion on a steel surface. Radios are Plentiful. The bureau of navigation, department of commerce, has issued the 1915 edition of "Radio Stations of the United States." This list shows that there are now 5,073 wireless stations in the United States, an increase of 1,139 since 1914. They are classified as follows: Government and commercial land stations, 224; government and commercial ship stations, 895; special land stations, 118; general and restricted amateur stations, 3836.?Wireless Age.
