Some Inalde Facta as to How Light
Produced. The Plant, Etc.
As Brenham has a first class eleo-
tric light plant now which commenced
Thursday night, the city being for the
first time lit up in most all of the bus-
iness houses, it might probably be of
some interest to many to know how
light is produced by the subtle fluid
of electricity, for though electric lights
are no uncommon thing, being used in
almost every city of any size, how lit-
tle tlie public generally tnow about
them may be inferred from t lie fact
that the greatest electricians of the age
say that they know comparatively
nothing about electricity themselves,
that its power and application is be-
lieved to be in its infancy. As the
plant here will he in operation for the
public to verify the statements by
local observance the description of an
electric light plant will be given a
local application to this one in par-
ticular, and before beginning this dis-
scriptiou it may not be amiss to
briefly review the history of its estab-
lishment.
Time after time efforts to establish
an electric light plant here have failed
until the time when Brenham was to
have electric lights, had beconife so
problematical that it was referred to
as a date as indefinite and uncertain
as the dawning of the millenium. It
is not necessa; to point to the causes
of all these failures, but enough to
say, but for the fact that an already
established company, the Brenham
Compress Oil and Manfacturing Co.,
with ample capital behind them, took
hold of the matter and without first
trying to see who would or would not
take lights, purchased a Thompson
Houston arc dynamo and Slattery in-
candescent system in connection with
a 20 ton ice plant, which has been in
successful operation for the past ten
or fifeen days.
They commenced at once'to put up a
building (>0 x 180 feet between their oil
mill and compress on the Santa Fe
road.
The contract for the building proper,
was let to Mr. ^1. Russi, and M as to be
completed at the earliest possible mo-
ment. This part of the work was done
under his supervision and a substan-
tial wooden building, with a solid
rock masonry foundation, neatly fin-
ished, is th<' result, adequate for all
emergencies, yet with no loss or sur-
plus space.
The electric light plant, at least that
portion of it, for which the foundations
had to be put deep down in the ground
and built up with cut stones and ce-
ment, was placed in position before
the framework oftne building was
started, and then it put down, both
forces, the building and those putting
in the plant come along together, the
work being thus expediated.
The electric light plant lias two 30
horse power engines, HO horse power
boiler, and as before stated the plant
consist of one thirty arc dynamo and
one fiort light incandescent dynamo.
The arc lights are set in series, which
necessitates a current passing through
each and every lamp.
The current generated on the
incandescent machine goes out
mi tha + niain ■» lmpp fir
known as leaders. This carries
the current to the points of distribu-
tion, but before entering the buildings
the mains enter converters, where the
voltage is reduced, allowing just the
necessary quantity to enter the build-
ing for lighting purposes, and obvi-
ates the danger that there would be if
the voltage was not reduced by these
converters to persons coming in con-
tact with the wires inside the build-
ings. With the converters the shock
by contact with an exposed wire
might be perceptibly felt, but it would
not be of sufficient strength to endan-
ger life.
The electricity that furnishes the
light is generated by the dynamo in
the commutator. The armature of
the dyuamo being revolved by a belt
on a pulley passes in the field, each
revolution generating a current of
electricity, which is first transmitted
to the armature from the field, pass-
ing through the commutators, and is
collected by the brushes which rest
lightly on the commutator, and from
there passes out on the main lines.
There are two sets of the brushes, one
the positive the other the negative,
representing the uorth and south
poles, the electricity going out on the
positive wire and returning to com-
plete the circuit on the negative wire.

The Sealey Bifles, of Oalveston, in
an artistically decorated Pullman Pal-
ace car, passed here on the Santa Fe
at 11:01) Thursday morning. On the
side of the coach was the inscription
"Sealey Bities" which was in large
letters and underneath the word
"Texas" was the Lone star flag. The
interior of the car was tastifully deco-
rated. It will run direct to Omaha.
This oompany is classed with the
world beaters and cannot compete for
any bnt the first prize of ?o,000, for
which they are going to struggle.
There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the Inst few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doc-
tors pronounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribe local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea-
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.
