Overhead Wires safe.

PITTsBURo, Oct. 23. Before leaving
for New York to-day, Mr.. George West
inghouse talked 10 reporter on the pref
ent war against overhead electric wires.
This Is the first time lie has broken a.
lince. He said; "Wbile am In favor
OF having the electric wires under ground,
! do not approve Of It's agitation at pres
cnt, simply because consider 1t unfair
to lay charges to the electric wires which
can not Justly be maintained.
THE present agitation is due very
largely TO q number OF accidents that
have recently occurred In New York city,
and also to the active work OF the man
ayers Of the Edison Company and of Mr..
Edison, who have sought to turn the
present situation TO their advantage.
Their central station lighting business,
which depends upon the low tension sys.
ten, has, during the past two or three
years, suffered very seriously from the
competition of the more economical high
tension alternating system. Eventually
all of the overhead wires In thickly set
tied communities will be replaced by un-
foreground wires; but overhead wires,
properly insulated and maintained, are
what In these busy days may be consid.
cred perfectly safe condition. In Pitts
burg there are wires for 40, 900 incandes-
cent lights operated by the alternating
current. These wires are insulated and
are carefully maintained, and the result
of their operation during the past two or
three years is an indication Of the safety
Of the system.

METALLIC
ROOF PAINT

has been for years past subject
cd to the scverest practical tests
with the most satisfactory re-
suits. 1t is manufactured from
the well known princes" iron
ores, which have been long
used in the production of a SUI
perior grade of pig iron.
Analysis of this paint shows
it contains the largest amount
of iron, therefore the color is
strong, and WILL NOT
FADE, and an element OF
great durability is assured.
1t contains no sulphur nor
acids. therefore it will not rust
nor corrode iron or other
metals.
1t has a wonderful body, and
is ground very fine, therefore it
gives a smooth. even coat, COW
ering larger amount of sur
face than any other metallic
paint end another element OF
durability is added.
This paint works smoothly
under the brush. 1t does not
settle nor harden at the bottom
ofthc can when using.
BE careful to avoid so-called
roof paints made by ready
mixed paint manufacturers,
many Of which are made from
Barytcs and other cheap and
worthless materials.
We refer to some Of our best
citizens, to prove the quality OF
our Non-OXide Roof Paint.
