Not Killed By Electric Shocks.

There is lot OF misapprehension
about the deadly effects of shock
from trolley wire,' said Chief
Electrician Whitley, of the Brook
lyn Heights railroad TO a reporter Of
the Brooklyn c.. " Standard
Union. 'Most people believe that
contact with one of these feed wires
is fatal; but the fact is that, so far as
known, only one person has ever been
killed in this country as g direct re-
suit Of contact with trolley wire,
and that was weak boy in Boston
who threw another wire orer the feed
wire and held it taut from both ends.
The fact is that 500 volts is not suf-
ficient TO kill a man in ordinary bodily
health. l have received shocks of
that voltage many times, and while
they produce nervous shocks. have no
permanent bad effects. As matter
of fact, most linemen who are killed
while working on the electric roads
dies from fractured skulls. The cleo
tric shock throws them from the plat
forms on which they work and they
suffer from the drop 10 the pavement.
Il takes nearly 1000 volts TO kill a
