UNUSED ELEorRlc POWER.


There Is Considerable Waste, as People
Sometimes Find Out.
"Did you ever think" said an observ-
ing man lately to reporter of the New
York Tribune, "how much loose cleo
tricity there is around? 1t is brought
to my notice especially every time !
have occasion to ride in a trolley car
on wet day l have frequently re-
ceived a singing shock by taking hold
of the brass rail as 1 swung myself
aboard. My feet are wet, you see, and
water is so good a conductor that
ground connection is established with
myself as part of the circuit, The SEN
sation is quite enough to be disagree
able, assure you.
"The metal doorsill, too, is another
place where the current leaks out Since
discovered that by personal expert
ence / have often amused myself by
watching the people who enter and
leave the car. If they step over the
wet threshold we'll and good, but if
their feet touch it they are likely to
get some of the superfiuous power
Then the expression on their faces is
ludicrous. Most of them look com
pletely bewildered as If they didn't
know what had struck them, and | sup
pose they don't know for the instant
"Those are not the only places where
there is free electricity, either. In my
own office l can get as severe shock
as | could from a battery. In one of
the incandescent light fixtures there is
spot where the current escapes in
great force. BY touching this place
with a key, knife or any bit of metal
and resting my other hand on the iron
of the steam radiator near by / can
take shock of such power as to burn
my hand and make me drop the ex-
pertinent in a hurry. The other day
half a dozen of us joined hands and
| formed a line between the two places.
The man at one end held key to the
fixture ana the fellow at the other end
laid his hand on the radiator. You
would hardly believe how strong the
current was. Our hands seemed sud
denly gripped together and after we
let go our fingers tingled for minutes
from the effect.
81 have often thought that a COM
putation of the amount of unused cleo
trio force there is around us would be
interesting. There must be numbers
of other places that l have never no
ticed where it escapes and l suppose
there is no doubt that in the aggregate
the power wasted would be sufficient
to accomplish tremendous amount OF
work"

An Angel in Disguise.

The proprietor of large store on
High street went to his place of bust
ness at an unusually early hour re-
Gently; in fact the sun had not yet
risen when he turned the key in the
door. On entering he was surprised to
find a man trying to open the door
Of his safe.
He stood and watched him for some
time, apparently deeply interested IN
the proceedings, when finally the bur-
glar swung open the door of the safe
with a delighted chuckle, but happen
ing to turn he saw that he was dis
covered and became very much alarmed.
He jumped up and was about to make
his escape through back window,
when the merchant called to him;
Don't be in hurry, my friend;
come back and sit down awhile and
smoke a cigar, while l straighten up
things little bit, and then come home
to breakfast with me. You have done
me great favor"
why, how's that?" asked the burglar
in great surprise.
