Around the top of the drum are open

The top of the drum formerly extend

1t now extends out for ten inches all

edge flannel curtain is hung, inclosing
a circular space with the drum in the
center. The curtain is ''slasheo" up

it becomes too warm the chicks will go
outside the curtain. The addition of
this inclosed hover renders it practical
" impossible for the chickens to be
chilled or overheated and makes very

REPAIRING A TROLLEY WIRE.
Am Ingenious Makeshfft Which Per-
mits Traffic to Continue While
Splice Is Made.

Danger may and does Turk under
every overhead trolley wire in the city.
But when one happens to break, the
ingenuity of the men who are charged
with mending it is strikingly shown.
They go to work speedily and soon
patch up the wires SO that traffic need
not be interrupted while they finish
the job. This is the manner of their
work:
|. The other day a wire broke suddenly
In one of the leading downtown streets.
In doing so it fell upon and slaughtered
one gray horse, but that is another in
cidcnt. The alarm was sent in to the
repair shop and a wagon on which was
mounted a high platform, with tool
chest, forge, etc, on the top. drove into
the street. The workmen went after
that wire at once, one taking one
broken end and another the other.
They quickly fastened tackle blocks
and pnlleys to the ends, hauled in on
the rope and thus drew the ends quite
near to each other.
Contact being necessary TO continuity
of the circuit, of course the cars which
passed beneath the break were at some
disadvantage. But the motormen
simply gave an extra twist to the con-
trollers and then cut off the current
as they neared the break. The con-
ductor hauled down the trolley and
the car made the trip under it's own
momentum. Meanwhile the repair out
fit was driven up under. the break and
the work actively commenced.
A section of the wire was first cut
out, as it mad become frayed and dan
gerous. Then one man bent on a new
piece at his termination of the section,
while the other did the same job OPP
posite. The two ends were then car
ried together and firmly joined both by.
twining, heating and welding. When
it was ali over a somewhat thicker wire
could be seen in certain spots, but 9th
erwise none could tell that there had
been break. The repair wagon went
its way.-Chicago Times-Herald
