nangerous Play With Electricit,

A dozen or more lads amused them
selves last evening by taking shocks
of electricity, which they obtained in
rather peculiar way at the corner
Of Fayette and Seneca streets; One
of the electric light company's poles
is located at that point, and it is at
tached to a mast arm, from which is
suspended an electric light. The
mast arm is lowered and raised at
times for the adjustment of carbons,
and has wire attached to II which
runs down the pole to within three
feet Of the ground, where it is fasten-
ed by means of staple and paddock
to keep it in place. During the rain
last evening the water on the mast
arm and wires in some way formed
Il partial connection, and by touching
the paddock or the wire which it Sc
cured to the pole, person could OBJ
tain quite shock. The boys were
careful to touch the lock with their
finger-tips only, but in this way re-
ceived shock strong enough to cause
them to jump back and scream. AT
such time sparks of electricity could
be seen on the kck. Such expert
ments are attended with great dan
ger, and had the connection with the
electric light wire been perfect, thc
probabilities arethat the current would
have been sufficiently strong to have
killed the person who touched the
lock. People who do not know bet
ter should be warned of the danger
OF tampering with the electric light
wires. Utica Herald.
