The record for high tension on long

been broken by the opening of the line
from the Muskegon river to Grand Rap.
ids, Mich, where the voltage is no less
| than 10000. Previous to this the palm
was held by the 72,000-volt lines of the
same system, over the same route.
The wires are carried on tripod towers
of steel SO feet high and 500 feet apart.
The insulators consist of five porcelain
disks each 10 inches in diameter, and are
tested to withstand a strain of nearly
half million volts.
In spite of these, however, the enor-
mously high tension causes static dis
charge from the wire directly into the
surrounding air. As the current is not
continuous, this results in buzzing must
cal note, which may be distinctly heard
100 feet away.
In the dark this discharge makes the
wires family luminous with brighter dis
plays where there is bit of dust or an
irregularity.
The wires are so thoroughly insulated
that they become charged by wind fric-
ton and other similar causes when en-
tirely disconnected. Even a slight wind
blowing across the line may impart such
a charge that sparks an inch long may be
drawn from the wire.
FRACTIONAL electricity, like this has been
compared to rifle bullet-great speed
but sight mass, while the current from a
one-volt chemical cell is Like a heavy
mass of metal rolling slowly.
Take the heavy mass and give it the
with which to compare the ll0,00O-volt
current that is hurtling from the Mus
kegon river to Grand Rapids.-New York

AN OLD-TIME MYSTERY.
For Years the Sources Of the Connect
cut River Were Not Known.

The Connecticut river in its entirely
did not spring on the world in a breath.
Long after the peoples became aware Of
its existence its upper course and still
more its birthplace were shrouded in
mystery. To show how it first became
known, how its course was more and
more revealed, and how it's ultimate
sources were brought to light, are the
objects of a display Of unfamiliar and
somewhat curious maps, charts, etc.. at
the Watkinson library at Hartford.
When the Dutch navigator, Adrian
Block, set out from Manhattan to ex-
plore the eastward coast he hoped, like
the other navigators of his time, that
every estuary he met was channel to
the South sea, or, at worst, to a lake
whence ran another stream to that sea.
So, as he steered his 44-foot, l6-ton yacht
Restless up the mouth of a powerful
stream opposite the middle of Long is
land even its volume of fresh water did
not kill his hope that it was not COM
mon blind alley of river. But after as
cending 50 or go miles he saw that it was
no thoroughfare, dubbed it the Fresh riv-
