Hill Electric Company, of Boston, has put upon themarket a new lightning arrester, known as the Doane arrester, whichwe illustrate herewith. This arrester possesses several ingenious feat-ures which should draw the attention of station managers. In it theshort circuit is made through a non inductive resistance sufficient tolimit the current that will follow the lightning discharge to an amountthat can do no injury. In a 500 volt circuit with a non-inductiveresistance of too ohms in series with the arc, only five amperes canfollow the discharge. In this instrument the arcing points are carbon rods, shown inthe cut, the resistance being placed in series with the line. The. A NEW LIGHTNING ARRESTER. A Dissected G. E. 800 Motor. The G. E. 800 motor has gained for itself numerous testimonialsfrom practical railway men for excellent qualities. Its light weight, inparticular, appeals to the economical manager, who finds that by its usethe wear on his track is necessarily reduced. The cost of the main-tenance of the motor has been found very low. Some have been runfor nearly a year without entailing a penny of expense for repairs. The cut shows the method of construction of this motor. Thearmature is of the iron clad type with embedded winding. The spoolsare wound and set in cup shaped field pieces, which are bolted to theupper and lower frames. The bearings are lined with the best qualityanti-friction babbit, and the small door in the top frame of the motor
