A POSSIBLE METHOD OF RENDERING vAGRANT
ELECTRIC CURRENTS HARMLESS.
The amount of damage done to water and
gas pines by electricity that has escaped from
trolley lines on its way back to the power
house is almost ncalculable. The evil is not
so serious nowadays as i: was several years
ago Modern methods of providing for the
turn OF the current have lessened It's vagrant
disposition. Nevertheless, the trouble continues
to sorne extent.
a suggestion that bears on the subject was
made by The Engineering News few days
ago In st. John. y. T.. il has been the
practice for nearly half century to close the
joints in city water pipes. not with melted lead
in most other places, but with pine plugs
The experiment tried in 1851. and again in
1891. ON both occasions il worked well that
the policy was pursued two years ago
The object in view was merely TO secure
economy. But mention OF the fact reminds 'oThe
Engineering News of the insulating qualities
OF wood. and OF the proposition made last year
10y Harold =. Brown that two or more lengths
of wooden pipe be introduced into the mains in
every district whore trouble was TO be antci-
rated.
Electricity will not enter a line Of pipe If Il
cannot get out again. An obstacle which would
prove elfectual at any given point along a sys-
TEN OF metallic conductors would dissuade 4
current from going into il in the first place
Hence. If the wooden plugs nterfcrcd with the
Conductivity OF the pipes it is hard to why
they would not protect them from invasion. And
If the currents would not attempt To travel
along the pipe al ALL lao electroIJ Sis corroSion
would ensue.

work of this kind was done on the big "101'

and that this year he hired twenty tramps and
the work was done at just half the cost In
