high piessuiosomi-conlinuouB cuirent ,
with a pressure of two thousand volts or

The fit at of these is hnimloss , the

problem is to piotoct the public fiom

docs not ipprovo this nlan Ho says
that to place undoi giound clcctilc

which will extend to othoi motillio 1
conductors in the same conduit , and
a wliolo mass of wires inado to iccoivo 1
this dungoious current and convoy it

It is thus evident that the dan

risk is not diminished " 'ilio insulation -
