FLUID IS
VERY TROUBLESOME

The electric current which we use
for lighting our homes and driving our
trolley cars and electric runabouts
has a troublesome second cousin
named Static, who is always up to
some unexpected trick to tease or
frighten us. 1t Is this same mystic
rious fellow who turks in pussy's soft
fur, in the rugs and carpets, and
snaps and crackle swith noisy laugh
ter when we stroke the cat or scuff
our feet over the floor. This same
fellow takes special delight in invad-
ing printing offices and bothering
pressmen. 1t is he who holds the thin
sheets Of paper fast to the cylinder
makes them adhere together and
sends them flying about the inky roll
ers or to the forms" or type pages
where they will do the greatest dam
age. He only laughs and crackles
with shrill delight when the press
man swears and the "devil' trembles
with fear. Static electricity also
likes to bother weavers and spinners
of cloth. He tangles the threads, ad-
heres to them so they stick and break
ana QOeS ever lhiii6 W piNNh S'S
weaving, and spinning machinery.
Not satisfied with these simple
pranks he takes particular delight in
trying to scare US to death during the
summer thunder showers.
1t has been fully explained that
static electricity differs from the
kind we use in being stationary. The
kind we use travels at the rate OF
1860 miles a second and is always
in motion. Static collects on the sur
face of things and hides until it car
cut up some caper or ujmp OF
cloud and frighten US.
Everybody has noticed how friction
generates static electricity, whether
on the back of a petted cat, or on 6
rubbed glass or gutta-percha rod, OF
at the fingers ends of a person who
has vigorously shuffled his feet ovei
a dry carpet. Sparks can often b'
! drawn from swiftly moving belts OF
| machiner, and in weaving and spin
| ming processes the fibers sometimes
accumulate troublesome electric
charges.
There is a method Of neutralizint
the static electricity generated in cot
ton and paper mills. printing press
rooms and other places. 1t consist
of a transformer stepping UP an al
ternating current to 10000 or 20,
600 volts and an indicator composed
OF fine steel wires encased in har'
rubber, and arranged with Its point
placed above the web or to the OBJ
ject in which the static electricity /
to be neutralized. Charges passinI
from the points produce the desre'
effect.
In the case of most printing office
. and weaving sheds where static elec
tricity is troublesome only at certaii
|, times, when the atmosphere Is In tn
right condition, 1t is usually possibl
to arrange a simple wire to the ma
chinery, connecting to the troublesom
parts, either directly or by means Of
