There exists general and deeply root
ed idea that direct current dynainos of
very high potential are not at all prac-
teal. The actual historical and prac-
ticai facts are that the high potential di-
rect current machines were more exfen-
sively and successfully operated when
the dynamo first came into general use
about 1896 than any other type, either
direct or alternate. Furthermore, their
number and size have largely increased.
and the voltage at which they can be
practically worked has been steadily
raised until we now have GO light dyna-
mos as the standard size of large ma
chimes, generating about 5000 volts and
10 amperes.
Arc dynamos of 90 light capacity are
also regularly made by several manu-
facturers, and 120 or even 1875 light ma
chimes are built and used. happen to
know OF one station where there are four
arc dynamos rated at f25 lights each
which run every night with load OF
from 100 to io5 lights These machines
must generate about 5000 volts each.
No great practical or other difficulty Is
found in operating arc machines, except
that OF danger to persons, but this Is
merely due TO the high potential and does
not depend very much upon the type of
machine or character Of current. Cas-

One day this summer Philip found that

Then Philip fastened the other end OF the

rescued, and after a deal OF bathing and
wiping was restored to his former self.
Philips turtles are often taken in a
small red wheeibarrow to the common
pond for their baths. They are allowed to
swim the length OF their strings and then
brought home. looking fresh and happy.
