Further Details ce the New Scheme for
Tha wing Out Frozen Water Pipes

Madison, Wis, February 22.-Prof.
R. w. Wood, of the University OF
Wisconsin, said to-day: In view of the
wide extent of the water famine due
to frozen pipes and the number of com
munications that we have received for
more explicit information about the
electrical method Of removing ice from
pipes, the following details are of in
terest:
"The second house to which the pro-
cess was applied was that of Senator
w. F. Villas, where there was stretch
of 800 feet of solid frozen pine be-
tween the house and the main One Of
the wires was connected to the pine
where it enters the cellar and the other
carried to a faucet on the outside Of a
neighboring house across the street.
From this faucet the current traversed
the service pipe to the street, flowed
along the main and then followed the
300 feet of frozen pipe to the cellar
connection. In twenty minutes from
the time the current was turned on
there was full head of water flowing
fromthe faucet in the cellar. The street
main was not frozen in this case, Of
course. The frozen pipe was only
uGdJtu W dDCuL OU ucSIG6S L duE6uu6lI,
but this was quite sufficient to rapidly
clear out the ice. The apparatus used
must be carefully adapted to the work
required of it and must be properly OPP
Grated, but the process is perfectly sim
pie and may be carried on by any in
telligent workman after he has been
properly instructed.
THE method is now being used in
Madison by arrangement with Prof.
Jackson and myself, the process being
in full operation to-day, thawing out
the service connections of two houses
at time, without disturbing the pipes,
ground or street paving.
In conclusion, must say that the
papers should have given equal credit
to Prof. Jackson, who planned the ap-
aratus which we used, and who worked
with me in the experimental demon
stration, which proved such success. "
