.sAs a rule. wealthy men do not keep valu-
ables in their house. and yet they are not
sure that they shall escape burglarious at

descending stairs at Elmira, n. Y, with a
wire coil in my hand, I felt as il l had re-

You are very fortunate man, sir" re-
marked the scribe. "to have escaped instant
death after an electrical shock"
"Oh, it was not electricity that Frustrated
me. It was auremic cOnvulsion. For all my
physicians toldme was victim of very
serious kidney disorder. And when they and
a dozen widely advertised medicines

s'There is no need of death from handling
electrical wires il the operators will exercise
care. In our burglar alarm attachments
there is no possible danger from that source.
