F. Stafford, professor of chemistry. Professor Stafford and the inter viewer were discussing electricity in general and its energy equival ent in actual labor when, pausing for a moment, the head of the chemistry department pointed to an electric light in the room and asked, “Do you realize the amount of real work represented in that light?” Strength is Great “It requires what is equal to the strength of an average working man to furnish enough power to burn a hundred watt lamp, such aiC that. And to think that you, and I, and all the rest of us pass by an electric lamp night after night and fail to think of this,” he said. “The power used up in one of those hundred watt lamps is furnished for less than a quarter of a cent an hour. I wonder what working man would work for two. cents a day? ■Such is the amount represented in an eight hour’s burning of any hun dred watt lamp, as the University buys this electrical energy,” con tinued Dr. Stafford. » Process Explained He briefly explained the process over which the electricity travels to reach the lamp. Working back wards', he traced its course from the lamp through the wires, and via transformers, to the power house. He told of the dynamo and how it works. “This is what supplies the electricity,” he declared. “And it is the power required in turning a dynamo that I refer when I make the comparison of a man’s working ability with the energy consumed by one a hundred watt lamp.
