Precautions Against Shock.

There appears to be no doubt tina
Gilbert Cooper was killed by the IN
volts of electricity carried by an electric
light wire. 1t needs to be known, ther
that shock from the ordinary electric
wire in our houses may, in some cir
cumstances, result in death.
What are these circumstances The
fatal circumstances in this weeks
tragedy were perspiring man leaning
against the metal of a furnace vel
grounded" by means OF water pipes
This left him entirely uninsulated when
the electric current entered his body
from the defective electric lamp in his
hand.
Had he received the current while in
bathtub, with its perfect circuit
through water and water pipes. the
result would have been the same.
There would have been danger were he
merely standing on the damp floor of
celler, for damp earth or cement is a
conductor of electricity.
There is always possibility of shock
in handling an electric light with a
brass socket. The proper safeguard
against fatalities from this cause is the
use of porcelain sockets in cellars, in
bathrooms and wherever the user is in
contact with good conductor of cleo
tricity. No electric light fixture should
ever be placed within reach of bath
tub. Serious shocks have been suffered
from grasping an electric light socket
while in contact with gas stoves or
water faucets grounded as they are by
iron pipes Plumbers and furnace men
are specially subject to dangerous con-
ditions in the course of their work, but
a few simple pi ecautions entirely avoid
the danger.
Electricity in the home is too val
liable and convenient to be discredited
by careless use when perfectly simple
and inexpensive precautions make it
even fool.proof. Wise house. holders
will see that such precautions are not
neglected. Nebraska State Journal.
