safeguards For working Electricians.


The announcement THAT a means has
been invented of rendering any wire
charged with electricity instantly dead
opens up the question of the better pro
lection against accidents from heavy cur
rents of workmen in electric light and
power stations. TT is suggested. among
other improvements, that the Insulation
resistance Of the rubber gloves and boots
worn by men engaged at high pressure
works should be periodically tested.
Rubber gloves and boots are subject to
wear and tear, and however good the
insulation may BE when new. it rapidly
deteriorates. lit is stated that gutta
percha nodded boots. with no irons IN
them, are more reliable than rubber
boots, as they retain their insulation
properties much longer.
lit lis suggested that all high pressure
bars, switches and fuses shall be boxed
in. SO that the opening Of the box would
cat of the current and render 1t impos-
sible for lit to be turned on while the box
was open. Again, manufactures are
compelled to securely fence in all belts,
wheels and other machinery, and high
pressure ternsinals. bars or switches
should be placed under similar restric-
ti0ns. What IS wanted is simple sig
