On High Tension Wires De.
pendent Altogether on Insu-
lati0n of Gloves.

Lives of workers on high tension
electric lines are dependent almost en-
tirely on the insulation qualities of
me rubber gloves which they wear,
ana the least hole. n pin prick. miss
ing stitch or an opened seam, is
enough to make an opening for a
deadly current at high voltage. Con-
sequently. New York light and power
companies have adopted simple but
efficient test for all linemen's gloves.
says the illustrated World, and thus
are eliminating one danger which
formerly threatened their employees
who handled high current during
their work.
Each glove is filled with water and
placed in can of water, with an
electrode placed in the water held
by the glove and another in the water
held by the Can. An ammeter is nut
In the circuit, current is turned into
the electrodes at comparatively low
pressure. and gradually the strength
is Increased until from three to ten
thousand volts are applied. The read.
ings OF the ammcter tell whether or
not the gloves are safe. The entire
operation only takes about five min
utes.
The theory OF the test is almost rs
simple as the mechanics of 1t. Tho
gloves act as insulation between the
two bodies Of water. and IL the resist
ance is found to be too low. the
gloves must be discarded.

STORAGE BATTERY
IS NOT a MYSTERY
Willard Company is Wagina
Educational Campaign
among Motorists.

The peculiar attitude Of many car
owners towards the storage battery
costs them a lot Of money for re.
pairs and new batteries, which they
might easily. according to the Willard
storage Battery Company.
The idea prevails that q storage bat
terry is mystery. which 1t bebooyes
the average man to let alone. This
is gradually being overcome, however.
by vigorous efforts Of the Willard
company. to educate the car owner I'm
to the point where he will give the
same sort of care to his battery that
ne does to his motor, his tires and
other important parts OF his car.
The reluctance Of motorists to con-
Germ themselves with the condition
OF their batteries is especially dan.
gerous through the winter months
when battery that isn't kept filled
with distilled water and fully charged
is likely to freeze. cracking the rub
her Jars and causing considerable ex-
pense and trouble.
The opening of numerous service
stations. where expert factory trainer
men inspect batteries and explain
their care, free Of charge, has done a
great deal to place the storage bat
terry before the car owner as some
thing which he can easily understand
and care for and not as a forbiddine
mystery.

ELECTRIC
Lanterns Used by Workmen on
the Illinois Central
Railroad.

Work on the Illinois Central rail-
road about Chicago is now being IL
Illuminated by electric lanterns con-
nected to the central mains Of the mu-
nicipal lighting company. Each cleo
trio lantern. however. is made from
an old oil one which had outlived its
usefulness and which otherwise would
have been discarded because Of a
leaking oil can or other worn out
parts.
The new usefulness OF the lantern
is due to the thoughtfulness OF a me-
chanic who pried out the tin oil re-
ceptacle Of an old lantern and in
stalled a lighting socket. He showed
the result Of his labor to a superin-
tondent and his suggestion was adopt
cd. All along the right of way in
cities through which tho Illinois Cen
trial passes, construction Jobs are now
lighted by the new lanterns as long
as the contractor is busy erecting or
dismantling. or while there are OBJ
structions in ordinary free passage
ways.
The electric current used is some
what more expensive than oil lights,
but the upkeep costs are in favor Of
the new lamps. All lights are at
tached to one switch and can be
turned on in moment. The old
method demanded great deal OF time
for lighting and filling of lanterns and
the danger Of the tiny flame blowing
out and leaving Instructions unguard-
ed was always present. These trouble
some elements are now removed.

Works of a Noted Electrician
Reviewed in This Weeks
E-lecturette.

In the first two E-lccturettes we
learned about two OF the most import
ant units OF measurements Of electric
ity and how these terms celebrate the
work OF two great men, Volta and Am
pere. You know how valuable these
little stories are If you ask yourself
how many boys and girls, or even
adults, there are who know the full
meaning of the word volt" or am
pere" before they read these E-lcc-
turettes. Today is told the story of an
other famous man whose name Is an
electrical term-ohm.
BY understanding these terms per-
son soon obtains wider knowledge
Of electricity and can figure the cost
Of operating any electrical appliance.
Electricity has its pressure, Its re-
sistance and its quantity OF flow just
as has water. As the unit OF pres
sure in electricity is termed volt
and the unit OF current quantity an
"ampere," as explained. The unit of
resistance of the conductor OF cleo
tricity is called an "ohm." II Is the
resistance that will allow one ampere
OF current to flow when the pressure
is one volt.
A simple way in which to obtain
the relations between these three units
OF measurements-the volt. the am
pere and the ohm-is in this little
form OF arithmetic:
