Lightning arresters will be connected to the linethrough switches controlled by electropneumatic cylinders fromthe switchboard, ammeters being placed in the lightning arresterleads to show when current is flowing through them. In the eventof current passing through the lightning arresters, they will beopened by the oil switch and immediately closed, which will usuallyhave the effect of discontinuing any possible arcing and will avoidfrequent shut-downs, which occur by the short-circuiting of light- New German-American FIG.

A very sensitive center zero reading voltmeter withadjustable resistance in its circuit will be used for watching andholding constant the voltage of the plant. The face of the switchboard will carry upon it between the instru-ments a diagram of the connections, the voltmeter being used torepresent the generator. Breaks are made in the red line diagramwhich is thus painted upon the instrument board, and these arebacked by red incandescent lamps, the lighting of which will make The new cable steamship Stcphaii arrived at Xew York this weekfrom Bremen, bringing 2,300 miles of Siemens cable (4,100 tons) tocomplete the Xew York-Fayal section of the German-American du-plicate cable. After taking on coal and supplies here the Stct>haiiwill proceed to the buoy marking the end of the 100-mile stretch ofthe cable laid last autumn by another of the companys the end of the cable is picked up it wi
