EDITOR Q. 1Is the term horsepower, as | used in mechhnical technique, | equivalent to the physical strength | of an averagoe horse or is it purely @ theoretical term not having its origin directly from the horse? A. Horse power is a unit for the rate of work or for the power rep- | vesented by a force exerted through a path or distance in a unit of | time; usually the minute, though sometimes the second Is taken. The | term originated in the eighteenth century, when the mechanical force | of expanding steam in engines was | replacing the muscular force of horses in holsting and pumping in | the British mines. What number of horses, formerly used, would the | stcam engine replace? was the | question asked. Experiments by | sive dray-horses of England showed | that a horse could lift 830 pounds at a rate of 100 feet per minute, | which of course was the same (f | gearing were to be used) as hfting 33,000 pounds one foot in a min-, | ute, or 550 pounds one foot in one | second, Accordingly steam engines at that time and since have been | designed on this basis. However, now the term is generally consid- ered to have no special rorcrs\nce‘; o the work doné by horses, It| could probably be too high, except| for a horsc working for & very | short perfod. | Q. What are the duties and work | of a Justice of the Peace? | A. He is a local magistrate with powers partly administrative, pnrhl Iy fudicial. In the United States, | justices of the peace exercise ex- | tensive powers of investigaling crimes, and committing suspected persons to prison. They are also | generally empowered to try small | cases, civil and criminal. In some | states they are ereated by executive | appointment and in others by popu- | lar election. | Q.

Q 1 in Irog or helljum have the gres lifting power? A. Pure hydrogen will lift about 70 pounds per thousand cubic feet, the exact amount depending upon weather conditions, Helium lifts ap- proximately 10 per cent less. In the weight liftéd, must, of course, be included the weight of the balloon containing the gas. Actually the gas in balloons becomes rather rapidly contaminated with air, which dif- fuses through the fabric, and rarely pure, In designing balloons a lifting power of not more than 60 pounds per thousand cubic feet of hydrogen or 50 pounds per thou- sand cuble feet of helium is as- a balloon would pure hy- | sumed R door which read: “Tonsorial Head- quarters Four Expert Opcrators Good Work —Irenc Sullivan.
