THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY............-April 14, 1892. CROSBY S. NOYES... THE EVENING STAR hasa regular and permanent circulation m Washington three times larger than that of any uther Deper in the city. As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ) nes ‘This is a great day for the District of Co- lembin. The spproval of the President, the final step in the legal procedure by which Rock Creek Purk is established. is now given. and the great project for which the community has Jong struggied is accomplished. The caprtal Of the repmblic is to be adorned with a park in wild, matural and pictaresque beauty © favorably with any in the world. aud sparkling Rock Creek is to be Preserved as = pure, attractive and health- giving <trcam in its course through the Dis- trict. au] not suffer conversion through prox- imity of settlement into a foul open sewer to be Ind from sight and smeil, in course of time. «9 @ necessary sanitary measure at a cost of millions, The capital im both its national and local aspects is to be congratulated upon this successful termination of the movement, The dreams of progressive Citizens of « quarter-century ago. and the rea- sonable hopes of the clear-sighted and ener getic men of today who have pushed tie project to success are now realized. The people of the District of Coinmbia pay too large a proportion of the cost of this great national undertak- ing, bet they are accustomed te help out the nation in a pineb, und there is no na- tional purpose more attractive than this Bpon which a part of their surplus will be expended. Either by donations cr a future extension by act of Congress a narrow strip must be added to the park at its northern end which will inelude both banks of the creek elear to the District line, and thus fully accom- Plish the purpose of protecting this stream from contamination. But this step and any Fearrange ment of the ownership relations be- tween District and nation in respect to the Park are for the fature. The park is won, and it will be im the futare @ spleudid monument tothe memory of every one concerned in its erestion. from him who suggested it a quarter eentary x0, to the President of the United States who has now taken the final and decisive Step in making it an accomplished fuck ‘The death in Boston from an overhead elec- trie wire, coted in » dispatch in Tuesday's Sraz, emphasizes the argument of the danger ©f such wires. The weight of evidence, ac- cording to the Boston papers, is to the effect that the fatal current proceeded from the trolley wires of the West End railroad, an overhead system auch as the House proposes to put on the Metropolitan railway in thi city and, im fact. on all our roads, for if it is per- mitted on such streets as F street and Connect- ieut avenne, resistance on the part of any other street would be ineffectual. Indeed, » bill is now pending to extend the overhead electric system to ail our street railways, and every citizen is threatened with one of these death-deating wires im front of his house, Ik isinvuriably claimed for the ciectrie rail- Way wires that their current is not of suffi- eiently high potentis! to be danzerouz: No legislative umitation is placed, however, upon the character of their current, and what itis today it may not be tomorrow. It is said that sscopper is expensive it is generally mach eheaper to increase the tension rather than the quantity of the current. Few people will ex- Rect the railways in the exercise of their dis- eretion to seleet the expensive alternative merely because it is less dangerous to the pub- lic. If the current were limited by law it would be extremely diffienlt to detect and punish Violations of it, Nobody knows precisely what isthe danger point Sir Wm. Thompson, Dr. © W. Siemens, Dr.John Hopkins and other eminent electricians testified that a current of ‘300 volts is the limit of safety. It is admitted ‘that the railway current is of some 500 volts, Dut it is chimed that the electricians above mamed were wrong and that a mucn stropger current is necessary to cause death It is to be remembered that the wires are mot rendered harmless by reducing the tension below the point which means death to the average man. Accidents to persons and experiments in New York upon tugs show a wide variation in indi- vidual .powers of resistance to eicctricity. Some endure shocks which would ordinarily be expected 10 prove fatal, while others succumb toa much feebler shock, the result depending Upon the physical condition of the victim and other special circumstances. One is not en- couraged to expose himself to be struck by lightning by the reflection that persons have Fecovered from such shocks, or by the sugges- tion that the artificial current which threatens him isa few volts below the number which will certausdy kill him, and that if his Physical condition i* all right he may pail through with his iife. Overhead wires im cities also menace the public with dangers which cannot becredi‘ed to some of the individual wirea The various cords of the network are con- stantly coming im contact, and many deaths Rave resulied from currents conveyed through banging telegraph wires, ordinarily harmless, from high potential conductors, across which em. Every overhead wire in “ity system is armed, potentially, with the death curvent of its neighbor. Away with all of them so far as the capital is concerned! See The condemnation of the Treasury vaults by acommittce of experts appointed under a resolution of Congress may seem strange, and it is strange. That many millions of public 1 bullion should be left in vaults that vend entirely for their safety trustworthiness and activity of the ictals and watebmen is almost in- tact is learned none too soon, = of now vault# and the strength- 4 ones, a8 proposed i the report, proceeded with as early as possible, ‘o the present administration it must a ft the responsibility for the inse- has probably long existed und is to be ong all who have bad control of the subject using an indefinite period.
