Electrical Editor: I wish to ask
whether electric radiators are per.
fectly safe, or is child likely to get
q shock? '..j., 8. E.. H..
Answer--A child might he burned

hot hearting element OF an electric
radiator. just the same as 1t would
be burned by touching hot stove,
but there Is absolutely no danger Of
an electric shock. Most heaters Of
the radiant" or reflector" type are
no designed that they turn face up.
ward II by chance they should be
tipped over, SO that the fire hazard
is wholly eliminated. There is moth.
ing about them to smoke, smell, ex.
plode or catch fire. The current il

cord that is several times stouter
than Is really necessary. We do not
see how there could be any danger,
and we have never heard of an acci.
dent caused by one of these heaters.

OF the laws Of electricity that the

that the current. instead Of travel.

call a short circuit"
Due to the intricacies OF lighting

ANSWERS

Electrical Editor. Nearly every

iator ! get a shock What is the
trouble? MRS. Nick.
Answer-The trouble is what is
technically know As q '.short cir
cult" Some OF the connections OF
the wires have become loose or
broken, or the insulation Is de-
fective. Take the percolator to a
reliable electric store and have
them examine II. They will quickly
locate the trouble and will be able
to tell you exactly what II will cost
to have 1t repaired,
Electrical Editor: will you be
good enough to explain to me the
Of the term short circuit?'
: Miss. r.
Answer-First, let us understa nd
what q circuit is. Literally. a circuit
is continuous conductor which,
starting at the positive side Of an
electric generator or battery. makes
an uninterrupted loop or circuit back
to the negative side of the same bat
terry or generator. A simple example
Of a circuit is the bell circuit which

Forty.two years ago this week the
first incandescent electric light was

Thomas A. Edison and his helpers

and often catching maps on the work

current of electricity through a thin
thread In vacuum In a glass bulb.

Il in a glass globe from which the
air had been pumped out. When
the current was turned on, that
thread glowed for forty hours. That
was really the first incandescent
electric lamp" %
Sleeps Two Days. -
Having proved his lamp a success
Edison went to bed and slept for
two days. When his friends saw
him again, they said, You've done
Il at last. Now you can rest" But
his reply was. "Bosh. we've only be
gun" He had spent $4,000 In bring
ing his investigations up to thai
point, but having come so far. ht
only paused to take breath before
renewing his efforts to perfect tbs
lamp. He wanted something thai
would burn longer. and SO he sen'
men all over the world to collect ma
terials.-.
He kept up this painstaking re
search to improve electric lighting
for years. and the manufacturing
organizations which grew up gs 0

share of the experimenting.

incandescent lamp is not an excep
