Leave the Electric Wiring Alone

Why is it that man who would call in a carpenter to hang
 door, who would summon d
 nlumher to put a new valve in a
 lancet. will not hesitate to re- pair the electric wiring?,
 It is a fact that most of the accidents resulting from electric
 wiring would never have occur
 rcd had the wiring remained Just as if was installed by the elec- trician.
 Houses are wired by competent electricians who take every pre- caution to guard against any
 leakage of current, any places where the electricity can leave |Hhe wires and cause trouble, an9 If it is left just as it is installed |t there is not the slightest danger, of accidental shocks V shorts |br fires from crossed wires.
 The wires from the street are always led directly to the fuse
 box. amply protected by porcelain
 ;nsl,latorS. The house wires are
 connected to the main wires Dy i the fuses. A fuse is a small porcelain n)ug made to screw into a SOCK; ct. Inside the fuse is small lead
 wire, protected with a covering of mica. A fuse is inserted m every house-lighting system, so as to give entry to enough elec- tricity to supply all the lights m that house and not enough 1D
 fuse the wires inside and start, a fire. If lightning strikes the wires outside the house or II something goes wrong With a lrans former the fuse simply blows out and thus protects the house wires.
 Tue amateur plumber is not
 even in danger of drowning ana
 the very worst he can do Is to
 start a small flood. The embryo carpenter can build his cob
 houses without fear of fire cal amities. and escape wit a pound--
 ed thumb and a cut finger. put inc makeshift electrician Is the
 most dangerous of ali. 1or ne
 knows not what may result from his meddling. ... Whenever there is new wiring

 changes to be made. the Work should be entrusted [" a man eX- pprrncrd in electrical matters. ii is never safe to mcddlr Wl'h he electric light wires.

who worked his way up In the world
from a mere tinker who mended the
samovars (tea urns) to a full-fedged
man Of millions. That he was more
than a bit cracked" is undeniable
At times he would crawl into one OF

door and would howl and bark as

allow at allfthe %passersby.
Another idiosyncracy was to &C
round to a theater just before the

had printed and distributed free tt

One of his last freaks of fantasy
was the burial of his two feet, that he
had to have amputated. He had them
buried with all ceremony and erected
a monument inscribed, Here rest the
feet of Balasheff."

FORCED GROWTH OF CHICKS
Benefits Of Electrical Culture Are Re-.
ported at an Oklahoma
Hatchery.

One of the most interesting features
OF a 10000 egg electrical hatchery at
Muskogee. Okla, is the method of
forcing the growth of chicks by the
aid of electric light, says an exchange
A 60 watt tungsten lamp, which, by
means of a special switch, is turned
on and off for alternate periods of
eight hours each, is suspended in the
runway. The chick fills it's craw in
the eight hours electric illumination
and rests during the eight hours the
light is shut Off Thus the chicks live
three electric days in two ordinary
sunshine days. In the customary way
of brooding chicks eight hours out of
the twenty-four are wasted, or, to
express it electrically, the load fac
tor IS G6 per cent. The electric out.
tlt, however, is run at nearly 100 per
cent. load factor, and electric chicks
four weeks old far outweigh chicks
brooded in the old way.

Much that happened and much that
| was said l must leave to the magma

refrain from the statement that Cam
eron's meeting and reconciliation with
his old friend DR.. Addison was one
Of the brightest spots in a %delectable
constellation. The meeting between
Evelyn and her uncle was an episode,
too, to touch. the sensibility of the
most a%pathetic. And if there had lin
| gered a single doubt as to the wisdom
or expediency OF accepting their COM
partnership on my expedition of rescue
it must have been dispelled by the
emotional thrill which these scenes
provoked.
Our noaeward voyage. which all
Of us were anxious should not be de-

who appeared to be able to go and
come as he pleased, accompanied US
that far, and Our farewells to him, on

combined with a fervor of gratitude

AT first" he told us, as we sat at
breakfast in a little upper room of the
hotel, Evelyn close on his right, DR..
Addison at his left, and l opposite
him, Il suppose I did suffer, whenever
I was conscious, which. fortunately, I
think. was comparatively seldom.
They dosed me almost continuously
with what 1 believe to have been some
attribute Of opium, so that even in my
waking moments I was not wholly nor
NAL. In this way, of course, I lost all
count Of time. And so, too, l am I'M
able to give events in sequence. My
hrst conscious moment after being on
the deck of the Sibylla found me
strapped in a narrow berth on a rapid,
but rather rough-riding craft of appar-
emily much smaller dimension than
the yacht, and with a Chinese boy sit
ting beside me. You can fancy my
startled amazement at the sudden
transition. In vain 1 asked questions.
In vain l struggled to rise. Then 1
shouted, and the Chinese boy lighted
what appeared to be an ordinary joss
stick on a stand at the head of my
berth, and withdrew from the tiny
cabin. 1nsensibility followed quickly.
After that I have a vague, dreamy
recollection Of eating something with
a strange, spicy flavor, which seemed
only to add to my stupor. Once I
dreamed-at least I think it must have
been a dream-that l was in a dark
box, SO cramped that my bones ached.
and that far away above me were lit
tile holes through which the light
came in luminous fan-like rays that
glowed against the black"
I'm inclined to think it was no
dream" l put in, recalling the news
paper story l had read in my brokers'
office, in Wall street. "The probabili-
ties are that you were shipped in
that box from Fall River to New York,
and a certain influential Chinaman,
called Yup Sing, knew all about it."
TITS quite possible" Cameron went
bn. Il know that it was very difficult
to distinguish, in those days, between
dreams and realities. Eventually, how
ever, / awoke to find myself on the
'Glamorganshire, quartered with the
men in the ~forecastle, a beard we'll
grown and my, clothes the coarsest
sort of mariners outfit. For a while
was far too ill for labor. The reac-
tion from the drugs which had been
administered caused me the keenest
suffering. But. gradually, l came
about, and was set to work with paint
pot and brush. The humanity shown
me at this time was surprising. I
couldn't comprehend it. But 1 realized
eventually that my strength was being
1ostered for future torment"
Why didn't you explain, dear, to
the captains" Evelyn asked, with one
OF those bursts of naivette that con-
trasted 80 charmingly with her usual
~ Astounding good judgment.
! Cameron smiled. 81 couldn't get
near the captain, my child" he re.
turned. indulgently. 1T wasn't be-
cause I didn't try. The officers ridi-
euled my assertions as pipe dreams,
