Trolleys Defy Lightning

When electric street cars were first in
stalled their greatest enemy was severe
thunder shower. The lightning seemed
to have a particular mania for dashinE
down on the trolley wires, and following
them along to the various trolley cars,
doing considerable damage to the equip
ment and soaring the timid passengers
into histories.
For many years the greatest inventors
and scientists Of the age have worked
TO produce a device to protect the trolley
cars and the line equipment from the
ravages Of lightning. These devices, crude
and imperfect as they were, did fairly
well under ordinary conditions and were
called lightning arresters" because they
sometimes stopped the lightning before
1t did any serious damage and led 1t away
to a place of safety
1t was not until very recently that an
aluminium cell lightning arrester was per-
fected which worked equally well under
all conditions and offered protection even
during the most severe thunderstorrns.
This "arrester'' was taken to the nouns,
tain districts of Colorado, where thunder
storms are the most severe on record, and
given a thorough demonstration. The
device proved an absolute protection TO
trolley cars, power stations and an other
outdoor electrical equipment. Electric
