Electrical Training,

There has been much discussion
of the question Of the training of elec-
trical engineers and the chances OF
success offered by electrical engineer
ing as a profession. The fact has
been established that in these days
there is no such thing as a ready
made electrical engineer. A man has
TO go through a very laborious and
highly scientific training before he can
be SC equipped as to do justice to the
profession and to himself. Some
practical men, however, think differ
emily and say so. \ writer in an
American electrical Journal says:
The truth Is that a firSt-claSs con
structive engineer can be turned out
in a year or two" In commenting on
this statement, the leading English
electrical organ says: "In our opinion
this is very far indeed from the truth;
and the sooner young men realize the
fact the better will it be for the fu-
ture Of the profession"

What Binckens the Globes of Incan-
descent Lamps.

An Italian scientist has been trying
10 add TO the comparatively small
available store OF information as 10
how the blackening Of i~ncandescent
bulbs is caused. He found that under
the microscope the surface Of a used
flament has little humps, resembling
in miniature those on the carbon Of an
arc lamp. They seen TO have been
produced by ONE melted material. In
places the aIament is furrowed hy
transverse cavities, out Of which rise
ramiications of lamp black. The film
collected on the inside of the lamp
shows under the microscope as a very
thin coating of lamp black, in which
are distinguished larger grains irrec-
ularly distributed, and also yellowisn
crystals. His explanation Of the black
ening is that certain mineral sub
stances contained in the carbon fila
ment become fused by the high TEN
perature and evaporate. This causes
a gradual d~isintegratiOn of the car
bon, some very minute particles OF
which are projected on TO the glass.
When the explosion Of the little humps
on the flament are at all violent en-
tire fragments are detached. and al
those places where attachments Decor
most frequently the filament breaks.

whole question has been reopened in
4 startling manner. A reputable ply
stefan, who was recently engaged by
the authorities OF New York state to
investigate into the effects of electro
~cution, showed by facts, figures and
photographs that the shock. as given
TO criminals from the prison dynamo,
was invariably fatal. In the face OF
this, an electrician stated positively
that a person exposed TO the severest
shock can be recovered by proper
treatment Now q lineman has been
apparently killed by the passage
through him OF the frightful charge OF
5000 volts, and yet resuscitated after
two hours.

crime for which he will be imprisoned.
Ii is believed that Giles was murdered
at the mitigation ofthe very men who
have been most active in the prosecu-
tion of Davidson. The Deadwood In
dependent says it believes that GER
tain cattlemen in Butte county, like
those in Wyoming, are inclined to
take the law into their W hands,
and when they think a mar is mimi
cal TO their interests they find a way
to remove him. Davidson was con-
vitcted entirely upon circumstantial
evidence. The fact that he vas the
man who found the dead body OF Giles
is considered as a circumstance in his
favor, as murderers do not usually
escort the officers OF the law TO the
body OF their victim.
