ELECTRICITY AND WATER.
Little Danger In Turning Hose on
Heavily Charged Wires.

The slight danger that firemen run
through the electric current passing
from heavily charged wires up the
stream OF water they are squirting IL
proved by an experiment conducted by
Ugo Tartaglini and reported In La
Schema per Tutti.
A trolley car wire charged with a di-
rect current OF 500 volts had one end
grounded: on the other end he directed
a stream from hose with nozzle If
teen millimeters In diameter. AZ 2.20
meters distance a voltmeter attached
to the nozzle registered twenty volts.
At sixty-fve centimeters distance II
registered seventy volts and az twenty
centimeters 2i0 volts. The average man
can stand a current OF fifty volts with
out serious shock, 20 a fireman who
holds his nozzle five or six feet from a
i've wire runs no great danger.
Mr.. Tartagiini made the same expert
ment on two lines Of alternating cur
rent. one with $500. the other with
1900 volts. and the roltmeter did not
register any current In the stream Of
water. although a slight shock was per-
ceptibie when be put bis hand into H.
with a chemical ertinguisher be got
current OF 1850 volts az 20 millime-
tiers from a wire with a current Of 1000
volts.
