MORE TROUBLE AHE4Ds

The electrician Mr. Nikola Tesla describes
hitherto unsuspeeted danger TO which, ia his
opinion, the subway is exposed. Not having
had the good sense to secure Mr. Tesla's advice
regarding the equipment of its road and rolling
stock, the Interborough failed to adopt the Tesla
motor and the necessary eoncomitant, an alter
mating current Instead, it uses a direct cur
rent The latter is credited with possessing to
larger degree than the former the ability to
dissociate the elements of chemical compound
Now, If there should be another food in the sub
way, and if the electricity should have a fair
chance to disintegrate the water, hydrogen
would be freed, perhaps at the rate of one hun
dred cubic inches minute. Let the operation
continue long enough, and let the gas mingie
with air in the right proportion TO produce an
pIosiye mixture, and something terrible may
happen.
Mr.. Tesla betrays beautiful Gisinterested-
ness and magnaninlity. Without waiting for a
handsome fee for his services consulting en-
gineer he shows how TO avert disaster Discard
the direct current motor and substitute the Tesla
motor, and immunity will be guaranteed Should
the Interborough company continue to be as
blind to it's own interest in the future as 1t has
been In the past, property owners can raise
hue and cry about the danger with which they
are confronted, and the insurance companies
can decline to take risks on houses so situated
as TO be damaged by great explosion. They
WILL too, if they are governed by Mr. Tesla's
advice.
Mr.. Tesla foresees that somebody will want to
know what good may be anticipated as result
of ventilation, and adopts a pessimistic attitude
on that question. The need of ventilation for
other purposes, he admits, is imperative, but he
declares that it will not do away with the dan.
ger which he points out. For the present, then
the public must find what comfort 1t can in
these two possibilities: There may never be
another food In the subway, and, if one really
should occur, the electric current may not en-
joy the opportunity to do its worst No such
sequel as Mr.. Tesla has in mind attended last
Sundays inundaton. I'VE may be happy yet"

Wires Bent Under the Weight OF the
SIeet But Held Out.

The wheels Of electrical communica-
tion were seriously threatened on Tues
day night, while those enjoying the con-
yenience Of the same sat securely in
their homes. A brisk rain wal falling,
and as each successive drop which
struck the telephone, telegraph and
electric light wires froze thereon they
gradually grew to the size OF small
broomsticks. BY morning the weight Of
this Ice would have broken down most

become warmer during the night and
checked the formation OF ice on them.
Cities have had telephone and tele-
