A Safety Dress Invented by Profess
or Artemie6.
Experiments have been made with
Professor Artemieff's safety dress ir
the high tension labsrat tory Of Messrs
Siemens & Halska. This dress, says
4 writer In Engineering, is constructed
entirely Of fine but thickly woven wire
gauze. 1t completely incloses the wear.
er, inclusive Of hands, feet and head.
Its total weight Is 3.3 pounds, it's re-
sistance from hand to hand OF ohms,
and its capacity varies. from .0002 up
to .00025 microfarads, according as the
wearer Is FAR away or near to wall.
The cooling surface is so great that a
current Of 200 amperes can pass through
the dress for some seconds from hand
to hand without perceptible heating ef-
feet.
Standing uninsulated On the ground
and clad with this dress, Professor Ar
temieff drew sparks from the second
airy terminals of transformer which
was giving a tension Of 5000 volts,
the period being fifty cycles per second.
He next seized the main, and later on.
the potential being raised to 10000
volts, he drew sparks from both termi-
nails and handled the latter. The ma
chine supplying this transformer was
Of ITO kilowatt capacity.
In concluding the experiments the in
ventor short circuited this generator
nv clufchinv hold nf tho terminals the
potential difference between the two
being 1000 volts, and the current
passed 200 amperes. The circuit was
broken by simply letting go Of one
electrode. Throughout these expert
ments Professor Artemieff declared he
felt not the slightest sensation of any
current through his body.

Other topics which will be discussed
before the convention ends are the eight

nents.
An International significance will be
given the gathering by the presence of
Alfred Moseley, the English phllanthro-
pist, and his commission of English
workingmen, chosen from the labor as
sociations of Great Britain. Mr.. Nose
ley's visit here is due to the interest
evoked by the formation year ago Of
the industrial department of the Ma
tional Civic federation, or the strike
committee, as it Is more generally
known.
Mr.. Moseley and his associates have
toured this country IN an itinerary pre-
pared by the Civic federation. and his
address before the present gathering
will embrace the frlits Of his observa-
ton of American Industrial conditions
frm a foreigners POINT of view.
Another interesting feature of the
gathering may be the meeting of Pres
tdent Eliot of Harvard university and
President Samuel Gompers Of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor. President
Eliot, it will be recalled, recently de-
nounced the eighl hour system and
apostrophized the nonunion man who
to support his family, dared to take a

The incandescent electric lamp is essen
TALLY a device which transforms cleo

This fact is very important, bearing in

electric incandescent lamp is free from
the heat rays 1t is true that the lamp
when working is not comparable with

time the heat evolved is such 8 may

Indeed so firm is the idea that the in
candesccnt electric lamp is free from
heat that it is frequently to be found
buried in mass Of easily igntted and
highly iniiammable material This is
mistake, and care should be exercised
with the electric lamp in its application
in this connection but the risk, of course
is not so great as where naked lights
are employed.
