SHORT BRIDGES.
cities may be expected very soon.
The time may come when telephone
poles in cities will be curiosity, as
the advantages Of underground wires
seem to more than compensate for the
additional expense. The Objectionable
appearance Of a confused network Of
overhead wires ought to be sufficient
to condemn that system for cities, and
the liability to open circuits in case
of high winds, or accumulations Of
sleet on the wires, makes it unreliable
for all places. Another objection is
the danger occasioned when a tele-
phone wire becomes crossed with a
high-voltage wire. This frequently
occurs in the overhead system, but
when the two wires are in separate
ducts cross is almost impossible.
The underground line mentioned
says Popular Mechanics, has wires laid
in ducts, which are Of several diff
ferent types, preference being given
to one or the other according to the
physical condition Of the country. the
obstacles met with, and the probability
of future excavatinS or blasting in the
locality. Most of the conduit work
was formed of vitrified tile sections
but where heavy rock cuts were en-
countered creosoted wood ducts were
used, as these offer less possibility of
shattering where future blasting
might cause trouble.
