MILLION VOLTS SENT
OVER 42-FOOr ARC

PITTSBURGH, October 13.-Elec-
tricity of 100000 volts intensity de-
veloped an arc forty-two feet long in
an experiment conducted this week at
the Westinghouse high-voltage lab
oratory by the Pittsburgh section Of
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers, it was announced today.
Engineers declared the arc was the
largest ever produced under controlled
laboratory conditions.
The high voltage was obtained by
running 22.00o-volt current through
n transformer designed for expert
mental purposes. The arc was pro-
duced by running a fine wire from
the transformer to a tank set in the
floor. AS the wire melted under the
intense heat the arc. was extended un-
til it reached a length of forty-two
feet.
Engineers declared that electric
current up to 100000 volts is now
transmitted over wires and explained
the experiments with the million-volt
transformer were important as indi-
eating the voltage strength which
may be sent over transmission lines
in safety.

forest and brush fire, which for a time
today threatened four or five communi-

control under the gorge of Sycamore
Canyon tonight
Earlier reports of damage We're found
to be exaggerated. Only one large par
italy completed home on verdugon
knoll and half a dozen small houses
were destroyed, although the flames,
famed by high wind, swept over sew
erai thousand acres in few hours.
The fire started on the outskirts of
Montrose and for a time threatened
that town, as well as La Cresenta and
La Canada, but, instead, skirted the
edges and turned down Sycamore can
yon. Some time it leaped forward half
mile at a time. Scores of summer
homes and cabins near Glendale were
abandoned as the flames advanced.
Hundreds of men, many conscripted,
were thrown into the line established in
Sycamore canyon to battle the blaze,
and late in the afternoon as the breeze
died down a number of trees III the
fires path were dynamited.

Mr.. Lloyd George in reply TO a ques-
ton, said he did not believe the dicta
torship in Germany would come as
the result of nationalist coupe d'etat.
adding that he did not think Chan
cellor Stresemann would go in for
anything like that. The food situa-
ton really was the controlling factor.
he explained.
Asserting that he did not know ex-
actly how much food was on hand
but that he had heard the peasants
had ample stocks to meet the situa-
ton. he said the test of the dictator
ship would be its efficiency, its ability
to force the peasants 10 give up to

that England during the last two
years OF the world war had had Z
very excellent system of food control,
which amounted to a food dictator
ship.
