THE ELECTRIC FUSE.
its Flash and Smoke and Burning Out
Mean Safety, Not Danger.

Mean Safety, Not Danger.
The flash, smoke and sometimes
total darkness which accompany the
burning out of an electric fuse are
frequently the cause Of considerable
alarm to persons unfamiliar with
the operation Of this essential little
device, which, Ike charge of pow
der, achieves destruction IN the per-
Torrance of the act for which it is
created. In effect the fuse is a
safety valve, serving the same end
as the steam safety valye-reiev-
ing a dangerous pressure-and the
dash and smoke are a sign of re-
lief, not of present danger.
The ''fuse" is simply short sec
ton of wire of such material and
size that it viii carry determined
amount of electric current and no
more. When the maximum voltage
is exceeded the fuse is consumed,
the connection broken and the cur
rent, OF course, cut off, putting a stop
to the operation of the system until
new fuse is put in. This is the
effective but somewhat primitive
form of electric safety valve in gen.
eral use.
A recently discovered property of
GONE metals, such as aluminium and
magnesium, however, makes it pos
sible to construct an electric safety
valve which possesses the advantage
OF that found upon the steam boiler
the ability to perform its func-
tons without self destruction. II
two aluminium plates be immersed
IN any one of various liquids and a
current be sent through the com
blnation the flow lasts only for a
fraction of second, for an insulat-
ing oxide is formed on the metal
surfaces.
An increase in voltage causes a
short resumption of flow and an
other stoppage due to a thickening
Of the insulating layer. This goes
on until the current reaches 400
volts, when the insulation is per-
nanently broken down. BY coup
ing several cells in series this limit
ng voltage may be increased as de-
lred. Thus series of ten will not
allow the current to pass freely be-
ow 1000 volts. If such a series
'e connected to transmission line
It one end and to the earth at the
'ther 1t will divert part of the cur
ent to the ground as soon as the
'oltage exceeds 1000 and "close
p again when the pressure drops
,elow this limit, thus acting pre-
lsely like the safety valve of a
team boiler.
This system is in use on transmits
ion lines Of high voltage, but for
INDIVIDUAL wiring systems the burn
ut fuse Is still the accepted thing,
nd one or two will be found be-
Feen every feed wire and the build
lg which uses electric current for
ght or other purposes. If light
ing strikes a feed wire the fuses
Ill all be burned out and so prevent
le lightning from passing into the
nldings by means of the wires

THE PREVENTION OF
UNNECESSARY NOISE
By Frederic ]. Haslsin.

is your morning slumber disturbed by
the noisy deliveries of the milk man or
bread man? Do motor vehicles and noisy
drivers make a continual bedlam in front
of your place of business each day. or
are your working hours interrupted by
the hawking cries of hucksters or other
street vendors? If you suffer from these
OF any other noise nuisances you may
possibly help to overcome them by join
ing one of the anti noise crusades which
every part of the country. Perha ps you
may even help to start one as a part
of your duty as a good citizen.
That is what Mrs. Isaac L. Rice of New
York thought when she entered upon
the work in New York city which is now
being copied everywhere. Several years
ago Mrs. Rice had occasion to visit fire.
quently at a city hospital. She noticed
how the patients suffered from the ciang
of street cars the honking of automo-
biles, the clatter of vehicles and every
otaer street noise which came in the
open windows She decided that most of
these noises We're unnecessary and began
a campaign for the esta blishment of
quiet zones around city hospitals. An
VI was pdSStu nlcN placed re-
strictions upon traffic in a circle or zone
surrounding every hospital in New York
\ speed limit was placed upon all We
hicles entering this zone and all unnec-
essary noise was prohibited Sufficient
traffic policemen We're provided to en-
force the restrictions.
The testimony of physicians and hos
pital officials. no less than the express
sions of the grateful patients. were wide
Il circulated. Chicago, Baltimore and
several other cities have passed similar
ordinances and in others the reform is
under consideration. In Washington an
amendment to the police regulations is
now being considered which will provide
this quiet zone. 1t requires that the
territory shall extend a distance of 80
feet on all sides from any hospital or
institution for the care of the sick The
limits Of the zones are to be designated
by signs on lamp posts or by other con-
spicuous notices. Any person convicted
OF making an unnecessary noise within
the boundaries of a hospital zone will
be fined. In the future the possibilities
of quiet will be considered in selecting
hospital locations. Where such an in
stitution must be centrally located q
quiet approach will be planned Where
this has not been done some noise-re-
strictive measures are essential, since
all physicians are denouncing the harm

Worst Of Nuisances

noise than from any other nuisance. III
a sight is unpleasant he may close his
ewes or turn his head An unpleasant
odor usually indicates an insanitary con-
tiition which will be cared for by the
board of health. But the nerve-splitting
whistle, the humping of badly adjusted
cars. the clang of alarm signals and hum
dreds of other unpleasant sounds assail
the ears constantly and have been sub
mirted to as inevitable. The torture OF
some of these noises to nervous people
cannot be estimated. and each year
seemed 10 develop some new nerye-rack-
ing sound.
Scientists claim that the effect of iy-
ing in the midst of constant noise tends
either to an excited nervous system or a
dcadened sensibilty according to the
temperament of the individual Ellison
Young. the English writer, believes that
the reason the French are SO excitaDle
as race is because they are fond OF
noise an dsurround themselves with IL
No other nation. IN his belief, has been
capable Of inNentinS such perfectly
fendish screeching, ear-pierc.ng devices
to use as automobile alarms. Even in a
pastoral French village noises OF many
kinds are apt to assail the ears OF the
visitor at all hours of the night. Mr..
Young claims that a really quiet night il
unknown 10 the majority of the freneh
people. They sleep through the noise
upon them can be readily traced.
In Germany, the waste caused to the
human nervous system py UNNECESSARY
noise has been better recognized. In
most German towns regulations exist
which prohibit noises of all kinds during
certain hours Of the night. These are
not always enforced. nor do they insure
the quiet intended. Yet most travellers
bear testimony TO the restful quiet Of the
German town, and Mr.. Young can, no
doubt, trace to this the sober calm Of
the national German character.
The interest aroused by the creation Of
quiet hospital zones in New York en-
couraged Mrs. Rice to extend her efforts
further. In 1896 she organized The
Society for the Suppression Of Tnneces-
sary Noise. tsenembers include per-
sons OF every walk OF life but il has the
cooperation and support of the leading
lawmakers and physicians of the coun-

exercise. but gives her an opportunity
