The gap or gaps are proportional so
as to prevent arcing due to the line
potential, but to allow an arc to be
established if the voltage rises above
certain limit Once this has hap
pened and an arc formed, the resist.
ance of the gas is reduced, since heated
air is better conductor than cold air..
and the line voltage will, in general, be
sufficient to maintain an arc if means
are not provided for breakingsit This
may be brought about by blowing ont
the arc by an electromagnetic or by ar
ranging the path to ground in such a
way that, after the arc has been es,
tablished, the voltage across the spark
gap falls SO low that the arc can not
persist"

suits were painful and might easily
have become disastrous. Here are the

man, besides 200 other officers detained

as usual They had offered a splendid
resistance, winning the sincere re-
spect Of their foes So impressed were
the Japanese by the heroism of their
enemies that with the chivalrOus feel

they agreed in the seventh clause Of
the eapitulation of Port Arthur:
