A cheap, simple device for the per-
feet insulation of electric wires-that
is the most obvious opportunity for an
inventor in search of a vast and quick
fortune. To glance at the figures of
the swiftly uppiling fire losses in the
United States is to see the pressing ne
cegsity for this invention. 1t has been
settled beyond a doubt that this in
crease is due to the increase in the use
of electricity. And not only in proper
fv losses but also in losses of life
is America paying for her eager seiz-
ure upon electrical energy before
knowledge of how to handle it was
sufficiently developed. We viii not go
backward. Electricity win be used
more and more. Therefore we must
make haste to discover how it can be
isolated and controlled so that it will
exert itself only when and where eK-
artion is beneficial
