Caught.

Science In modern times has utilized
some terrible agencies But with these
new discoveries come new risks. The
multiplied uses of electricity are strik-
ing example of this. With its trains
laid SO near human life, fresh inventions
of seh-protection are called for. Only
the other day we read of house set on
fire by the over-heated wires of an cleo
trio apparatus. The insulating substance
had partially worn off the wires. Recent
Paris journals mention an exciting Incl
dent connected with the handling of a
powerful apparatus for producing the
electric light, at the Electric Exhibitions:
A gentleman was nearly killed by p
Brush dynamo-e1ectric machine. Part
OF the conducting wire was not insulated
and was lying on the floor. He touched
the stand of a lamp which formed part
of the conducting system. His body
then formed a connection through the
ground to the naked wire, and the cur
rent of electricity passing through him
contracted his muscles SO as to cause
his hands to clinch the lamp.
Ten lamps were IN circuit at the time,
and SO much of the current was passed
through him that eight of them were
extinguished. He was powerless to I'M
clasp his hand. Every muscle in his
body was paralyzed. His face was dis
torted; his lungs were so acted upon
that he could scarcely breathe. He
could only utter faint and unnatural
cry.
The workmen in the place fed from
the workshop, believing that some ex-
plosion was about to happen. A friend
came up and tried to unlock his hand.
1t was impossible.
He then lifted his legs from the ground.
This broke the circuit and his hands
were released, while burning sparks flew
to his hands in the action of breaking
the circuit,
He was insensible, but has since recov-
cred, and has devised an improvement
on the lamp which viii prevent recur-
renee of such an accident.
