Wires Along a Trolley Line.

A great many people wonder why
there are so many overhead wires along
an electric road, and which of them are
alive or dangerous. Ninety-nine per-
sons out of q hundred know nothing
whatever about it. You have noticed
that alongside the pavement on both
sides of the street is strung large, well
insulated wire, almost large enough to
be cable. That is the feeder. In other
words, that wire carries the current
from the power house and at certain in
tervals contributes it to the trolley wire.
1t is we'll nigh impossible for an acci-
dent to happen to the feeder, but even
then there would have to be a direct
ground connection before much damage
could be done. If the feeder should
break and fall to the ground it would
emit blaze which would prove warn
ing to all passersby.
On either side of the trolley wire are
two wires which seem to be useless.
They are dead, and are only intended to
shield the trolley. Suppose these wires
were not there and telephone wire
should fall across the trolley? Instantly
the voltage which transmits the cars
would be flashed into every telephone
which had a connection, and tie result
would be very severe shock. AS it is,
falling wires of any kind are caught by
the side wires, and hence never reach
the trolley wire. There's your primer
lesson in electricity.-St. Louis Republic.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.--O Officials in

assert that there is no truth in the state
ment from London thai an American
bullock was found to have pleuro-
pneumonia. They advanced as an argu-
ment that If such was The case the dis

american bullock, but would manifest
itself to others before this time.

Will detail an inspector to visit the farm
where 1t was raised to ascertain il
pleuro-pnemonia exists there. No such
disease, however, has been found in that
section Of the country for many years.
The department officials are of the opin-
ion that the English inspectors have
mistaken catarrhal bronchial pneumonia
which they say is caused by the sea
voyage. This trouble, they say, will
always exist as long as cattle are shipped
