A wondronsly beautiful autumn,
with uiilil golden days, and cleur
.starry nights, brooded over the
country Everywhere summer ros
es bloomed in the gardens beside
t e asters, and the forests were

brilliant hues. The air was so still
that the floating threads Of gossa
mer scarcely stirred, and when a

touched the ground. The birds of

Every housewife shout.! ! »arn bow i
to read the gas or electric meir- tn i
her home, so that she may c'.eck.
the monthly bill when it cones in.
This is a part of ths businesslib at
titude which the modern hoMS'!l.""p
er is developing toward t'ie e-it i
management of her domain. No
dry goods bill or grocery account is
settled until It has been "he keU up
with the records kept by the pur
chaser. and the same method si Mild
obtain with reference to the .VII?
for light and heat.
The electric meter, like the sas
meter, is composed of dials, but the
uult of measure Is the "watt" or
"watt-hour." One thousand watts
is a kilowatt. Bills are usually
measured in kilowatts. Tho meihod
of reading is exactly the same as the
gas meter—taking always »iio lower
figure next to cach hand, being care
ful to note that the nands on ths al
ternate dials move in opposi e di
rections.
Suppose that on July l meter a |
shows dial 1 read.ng 3 kilowatts,
dial 2 reads SO kilowatts, dial
reads 500 klllonatts and dial 4
reads 1000 kilowatt*. The total isj
15S3 kilowatts. On August 1 n-eterj
B shows that d al 1 re;ids S kilo
watts, dial 2 reads 90 kilowatts,
dial 3 reads 500 kilowatts and dial
4 reads 1000 kilowatts. The total
is 159S kilowatts. Now subtract
the reading of July 1, 15S3 kilo
watts, from the reading of August
1, 15S9 kilowatts, and you get 151
kilowatts—the amcunt of electricity]
used in July.
At an average cost of 10 cents per'
kilowatt hour the bill for electricity I
for July should be $1.50.
Some meters have upon them tho
word "constant," fallowed by a fig-1
ure. lu such case the reading of
the meter must be multiplied by this
figure in order to get the correct to
tal. For example, if the constant is
^6, then the readiag must be mul
tiplied by Hence, if there had
been in the above reading a con
stant of % the tot.il reading would
be 15 times V6, or 71* kilowatt
hours.
A dollar a month will bring tlie
Alaskan to your door.
