SHORT CIRCUITS.
Mission of the Fuse When tho Wires
 Become Crossed.


 Become Crossed.
 Another short circuit!'
 One of the commonest reports heard in all electrical works.
 A ''short circuit means that the cleo tric wires have become crossed or connected so as to form q bypath or shunt of comparatively low resistance, through which so much of the elec- trical current passes as practically to cut out that part of the circuit through which the current originally flowed. In other words, "short circuit" has re- placed the normal circuit, which may be considered long circuit. The cut ting out of the resistance of the long line permits the power to rush over this path of low resistance, and if the apparatus were not protected by the fuse or circuit breaker the electrical machinery would do itself serious harm. To prevent serious effects from acci- dental short circuits of electric lighting wires in buildings fuse" is inserted in the circuit just inside the building. In case nail or some other falling object short circuits the electric wires in the house this fuse blows out-name- ly, melts out-and throws the circuit open so that no electricity can flow through the wires in the house until the "short'' has been found and cor rected.-New York World.

ing, bowling, golf, soccor football, horse
