HOW SUB STATION WORK Pressure Is Reduced to Certain Volt age and Then Still More to Conform to Local Conditions. People are tak'lng a good deal of interest in the transformation ot water power into light In homes and moving machines in factories, and this is easily understood, even if it does deal with mysterious electricity. A writer who has specialized In mak ing scientific things plain describes It as follows: The water wheels are connected to the electric generators tn the power house and make the latter revolve. The whirling of the generators pro duce the electricity—-electricity In quantity and under pressure that van ies with the way the generator Is built. For instance, the generators in the big Keokuk water power revolve 57.7 times per minute and Bend out the electric current under a pressure of 11,000 volts—which may be likened to water In pipes under a pressure of 11,000 pounds to the square Inch. The greater the pressure of water, the smaller the pipe to carry a given quantity for any distance if the pres sure be increased the pipe may be lessened, in size. Similarly, the great er the pressure on the electric cur rent, the smaller may be the wire carrying a given quantity of current. In order to transmit large quantities of current, the wire must be large, or the pressure high. The very large {quantity of current from the Keokuk plant would require transmission lines too large for practical building, un less the pressure on the electricity in them were made very high. Hence, the current coming from the gener ators at 11.000 volts pressure Is run through transformers which raise its pressure to lu.OOO volts used on the transmission lines running to the THE DAELY GATE CITY !VJj.t ^Sfef ,?»v ^%*W Vi', ,v ,1. 4 Everything in stock, some things worth up to $3.00 goes for only 10c.

Substation's Mission. At the other end of the line, the pressure is reduced—firBt down to say 33,000 volts at a substation of the .Keokuk company then down to a working pressure at the station of. the local company in any city or town. Street railways work at a little over 500 volts pressure house lights work at 110 volts pressure factory motors are generally worked under 220 or 440 volts pressure. The transformers which change the pressure on the electric current are expensive things which, like the building and main tenance of transmission lines, add considerably to the cost of delivering electricity to the consumer. The sub stations of the Keokuk company re ducing the pressure from the 110,000 volts of the main' transmission line are at Hulls and Meppen, Illinois. From them branch lines run to Qulncy, Ilasco and Alton carrying current at 33,000 or 66,000 volts pres sure and of costly construction. Current Is Steady. One advantage from water generat ed current Is its steadiness. The uni formity and greater steadiness of the electricity generated by the big water wheel plant at Keokuk makes this power of great advantage, because such a great portion of this power Is used for driving factories. This stead iness results In greater dally produc tion and a more perfect product than is attained where the power is gen erated in the usual way. Lights are also more steady and satisfactory In operation because of the steadiness of the big water driven machines which generate the Keokuk power. These advantages are evident from one end of the power zone to the other. Russian Author Jailed. ST. PETERSBURG', May 21—For publishing a book on "Autonomy! Regional and National," Professor Beaudoin de Courtonay, a member of the imperial academy of Russia, to day began serving a two years' sent ence In one of the fortresses. Be cause he advocated the granting &y Russia of autonomy to individual dis tricts, the court held that the book was an incitement to the overthrow of the existing government. Profes sor de Courtenay is one of the leading literary men of the empire and a recognized authority on Slavonic languages. SWITCHMEN ARE READY TO STRIKE Men Claim That Railroads are Not Living Up to Their Agreement. [United Praes Leased. Wire Service CHICAGO, May 21.—Ninety-sight percent of 4,000 switchmen in the rail way yards of the Chicago district, voted to strike unless the roads "live up to their agreement." Vice Presi dent Whitney of th9 switchmen, today announced that unless the roads now complied with all the terms of the contracts which the trainmen claim they have violated, a strike will be ordered. Whitney said: "Such strlks would eventually ex tend to other organizations and roads. It would doubtless soon involve the whole railway system connected1 with Chicago. The men are tired of hav ing the railroads ignore their specific agreement not to work them too long and under unfair conditions." A meeting of the executive com mittee of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will be held this afternoon in connection with the demands made. Health a Factor In Success. The largest factor contributing to a man's success Is undoubtedly health. It has been observed that a man Is seldom sick when his bowels are regular—he is never well when they are constipated. For constipation you will find nothing quite so good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and strengthen the diges tion. They are sold by all dealers— Advertisement. Treasure Lost Years Ago. PARIS, May 21.—An effort to raise sunken treasure lost with the French fleet near Raz Blanchard in 1692, will shortly be undertaken by a French firm acting for the govern ment.

He expected to go on to Rome. The new Albanian ruler exiled 0s sad Pasha for his alleged connection with an uprising of peasants and the attack on Durazzo, when the palace was fired upon. Friends of Essad say that he was not responsible for either incident. Explosive Arrow Invented.

By a patent ed arrangement, when the arrow strikes, the liquid explodes. la something entirely foreign to the person with poor digestion, liver troubles or constipated bowels—but, there Is no need to remain In such a condition, for HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS has been found very beneficial In helping sickly folks back to health and happiness.
