LURE THAT TEMPTED MANY

DANGER IN ELECTRIC CURRENT
Neither Fixtures Nor Appliances
Shomd Ever Be Touched by
Anything That la Wot.
No electric appliances should ever
be placed where a person in h bath¬
tub can reach them. Such is the ns
Mrrlon of Dr. A. Zlmiuem In the
Press* Medlcale (Paris) in comtneut
tBg on the death of a colleague. Elec¬
trocution has taken place with a cur¬
rent of only 110 volts under such elr
mnwtances.
The reason I# that the water on rhe
hands snd body provides exceptionally
favorable conditions for conduction of
the current. It Is not safe to touch
even ah electric light, heater or hell
when lu the hath. Doctor Zimmer*
dtee recent cases as follows:
A woman killed by holding an elec¬
tric light In one wet hand while turn¬
ing a water faucet with the other; n
woman killed by wiping with a wet
doth the current distributing nppnr
a rue for an electric heater; a man
receiving a severe shock by taking
bold ef a chandelier while holding an
electric light suspended by a wire.
It Is very dangerous to change an
electric bulb when the hands are wet
or the floor Is wet; s alight defect in
the Insulation may cause a severe
shack er even death.
Measuring Sludge.
An Ingenious method of measuring
ttw* depth of sludge in deep sedimen¬
tation tanks Is employed at the sew
ag« disposal works of Fitchburg
Maas. says a Canadian writer The
measurement* are made by means of
• pitcher puiup and 28 feet of 1-inch
Ktbher hone, marked In 1-foot lengths.
The pump is screwed to a 3-foot plank
, «od Bttached to the hose hy a union
coupling. In ranking measureinents
th» pi auk Is placed across the top of
• gas vent and the hose pushed into
the tank until It Is near the supposed
Nudge level. The hose Is then low¬
ered an Inch at a time. Between each
■fclft sufficient pumping Is done to
Insure a complete change of water in
hose. When the sludge level Is reach
•d. the pump will raise sludge The
lesigtb of the hose below the chimney
top Is then noted, and as the distance
from top of chimney to bottom of
tank I* known It Is an easy matter tc
the depth of the sludge.
