Progress in the Field of Electricity
Dssgn Bbe.'oC Electricity.
HE havoo wrought by lightning
l . . ,,
.fwl every year is in nu iu.i
I I responsible for the natural fear
A I of electricity. The blinding
flashes of the etatlo discharges
anw the crashing reports of the
ominous thunder strike terror to the stout
est hearts, and the fear resulting from the
electrical storms contaminates everything
electrical. As a result people are afraid of
the lightning circuit, the telephone, the
trolloy wires and of everything which de
pends upon electricity as a source of powor.
The follow cf this la apparent to every
electrical engineer, but they take little
pains to educate the people to the fact that
electricity la just as safe as any other kind
of powor.
In the first placo the electricity of the
clouds la not the same kind aa turns the
wheels of the electrlo care or makes Incan
descent the filaments of the electrlo lamps.
Lightning Is atatlo electricity electricity
that la not In motion except when it leaps
from one overloaded objeot to another.
Whan thundercloud becomes overcharged
with atatlo electricity a discharge takes
place. The electricity used for heat, power
and light Is always In motion; U cannot be
kept quiet. It Is generated by magnetlo
machinery and differs materially from
atatlo electricity, which can be generated
by friction try rubbing glass with silk.
There) la no reason to be afraid of the
, erdloary Incandescent lighting circuit such
as la used In houaoa Illuminated with elec
tricity. Thla circuit raugea la voltage or
pressure from 110 to 118 volts. Incandescent
lighting current Is not at all dangerous. If
a person should pick up the naked wires of
such a circuit with his bare hands he would
get but a trifling shock, if his hands were
reasonably dry. If he should pick up the
same wires with wet hands and take a firm
hold he would get a Jolt, but nothing dan
gerous. The precautionary measures now
used In Installing electrlo lighting- systems
and the general Improvement In all lines of
electrical engineering make It practically
Impossible to get a shock from a lighting
circuit. The wires are heavily Insulated,
making them proof against sparking, and
when installed by competent electricians
the fire danger Is eliminated. For this rea
son it Is now quite impossible to mulct In
surance companies by blaming suspicious
fires upon electricity.
In electrical engineering circles any
voltage below Z0 volts Is called "low"
and anything above that figure "high volt
age." Broadly speaking, nothing below 700
volts Is dangerous.
The ordinary street car systems use elec
tricity at &00 volts, although there are a
very few In this country usUig more pres
sure than that.
Touch one side of a fcO-volt circuit lightly
Kith the finger, while making contact with
the other side, either through a ground or
by actually touching II; the sensation Is
miliar to receiving a violent blow in the
chest; a small burn that Is deep, but not
painful, will be found on the finger where
the contact was made.
Make a better contact, as by touching the
circuit with a piece of metal held firmly In
the hand, and the blow will be strong
enough to knock the experimenter down.
It is probable that no burn will result, as
the current has a large surface through
which to enter the hand; In rare cases
the person may become unconscious for a
short time.
Grasp the wire firmly In the hand, and
for a time at least It will be impossible to
release it. Serious burns are made where
the wire touches the hand, and unless the
victim succeeds In wrenching himself free
or help is quickly rendered, the result la
likely to prove fatal.
It Is well to remember in case of a falling
trolley that standing upon a dry board
will give full protection; that while slt
ting In a car there is no danger of shock
from a broken wire or other cause If one
does not touch metal or wet wood; rais
ing the feet from the floor, that may be
wet or dirty, will do as an additional pre
caution. If one wishes to remove a wire to avoid
hock or for other reasons, it may bo done
with safety while standing upon a dry,
clean board, or with several thicknesses
of dry paper (a newspaper), or. In case
of emergency, a bundle - of dry clothing.
As It Is difficult to get the latter' per-'
fectly dry. a shock may be-received when
thla Is attempted, but the resistance will
be so high that the shock will not be very
ever.
The "deadly third rail" aleo operate at
60 volts, and Is no more deadly than has
been already shown, except for the proba
bility of a person, who Is thrown down by
the aliock, falling acroea th rail and be
coming unconscious. This, of course, is
as serious a case as that of the man who
Is unable to let go of the wire.
Wires used for street arc lighting may
always be regarded with suspicion; they
are exceedingly likely to carry a current
of J.OiiO volts or. more. This will. In most
cakes, give a fatal current, and the pres
sure is so great that the precautions pre
viously described are not to be depended
upon. One would be reasonably safe, how
ever, if su..dlng upon a chair or stool with
perfectly dry wooden legs.
Persons rendered unconscious by a shock
may frequently be revived by Inducing
artificial respiration in the manner used
for reviving persons apparently drowned,
but, of course, without the attempt to expel
water from the lungs.
Electricity In lighting for buildings is less
dangerous than gas or oil. It cannot ex
plode. It does not vitiate the air and the
chances of fires from Improper Installa
tions is even less than any other form of
artificial light In this day of engineering
skill and careful attention to Installations,
fcleotrk'ity as a fire bugaboo la no longer
considered and so far as personal danger
Is concerned It Is no more risky than a
thousand other things used every day with
out a tlfousht of accident or danger.
native Power by Wireless.
Running trains by wireless is the Idea of
Frederick II. Mlllener, who has perfected
and Improved an Invention for moving huge
bodies by elect. icily wlrelessly conducted,
says the Chicago Tribune. ', The apparatus
consists of a truck weighing nearly three
tons and having about tea horse-power.
Including Us own weight It hauls a load cf
more than twenty-tons. The wireless truck
carries IH feet of copper wire made into
one set on each side of th truck at a
height of about four feet from th ground.
The cylindrical shape is preferred by Pr.
Mlllener, as It permits the placing of the
antennau so .low as not to Interfere when
the cars pass through tunnels or under
bridges an Important consideration. Him
liar wings, built In the cylindrical form
and attuned to the electrical truck, swing
from a sixty-five foot flagpole at the cen
tral station, and from these antennae flow
the controlling power waves which move
with unfailing accuracy to the traveling
truck and control Its movements with un
failing perfection. Dr. Mlllener's Invention
may be applied to railroad signaling, which
Is now done by cumbersome levers and
wires, and therefore cannot be clone at any
great distance from the s'gnul towers.
With Dr. Millener's Invention any numbir
of signals can be thrown or lowered by
the mere touching of the sending device,
and it matter) not whether the signals be
fifty feet or fifty miUs away. The device
can be also applied to railroad telegraphy.
Dr. Mlllener fun ring a bell In a given one
of any number of stations and leave bells
In the other- undisturled. Torpedoes
equipped with Dr. Millener's "selective de
vice" can be steered through the water
with unfailing accuracy by having the con
trol of the rudder attuned so as to be con
trolled thereby. It Is thought that one man
can operate a number of trains on a rail
road system of several hundred miles In
length with the selective device attuned
to the locomotives of the several trains, s)
that a certain truck would affect only a
given locomotive; "and with a system of
electrlo registration lights to show where
each train Is and Its course of movement.
It Is not out of the range of the probable
and practical. When a train Is ready to
leave a given station the station agent
merely would have to send a wireless flaxh
to the oentral open ting station, whence
th locomotive would be atarted and run
to the next station." Dr. Mlllener thinks
that by his invention It will be possible
to telegraph from a moving automcrhlle.
Continuous Trains of Vacillations.
M. Thury of Geneva, has lately been ex
perimenting with continuous currents of
high frequency, in place of the alternating
ones in general use. He has succeeded, sjys
the Athenaeum, as Slgnur i allettl tells
us In a recent number of Electricity, In
thus utilising the current from a dynamo
giving 25,100 volts and 114 amperes, and
thereby producing a continuous train of os
cillations. In the last number of the Kevue
Generale dea Sciences, where the diagrams
of Slgnor Gallettl's article are reproduced.
It Is suggested that the train thus formed
might be adapted to wireless telegraphy
and telephony, with good results.
Irrigation by Klectrlclty.
