The Consolidated road purposes on- lartlng its electric power plant at New Britain Junction, Berlin, to accommo- date the increased demands of the sys- tem. The 600 volt direct current dy- namos. which have been used for some time, are to be discarded and they will be replaced by alternating current mn- cbinery. which will generate electricity at a high voltage. New transformers and rotary converters will be installed at the plant, by which it is expected the electric power can be transmitted over any desired territory in the state. The original plant at Berlin. which was installed to operate the third-rail cars betWeea Hartford and New Brit- ain. was enlarged so as to accommo- date tho passenger traffic to Bristol. Light is furnished at all the stations on route and a wire now runs to Alerts den for lighting purposes. Plans now under consideration call for a lhrge in- crease in the mileage of thirdsrall sys- tem and a corresponding increase in electric lighting. The company has found its plant at Berlin inadequate to provide, for the increased business. COLORED HOSE NOT A MENACE. Baltimore's City Bacteriologlst Does Not Believe They Are Dangerous. The. recent death of United States Senator Cushman K. Davis, which use been attributed to the wearing of col- ored hose, has become since that event a matter of considerable comment on account. of the different views or physicians as to the likelihood of blood poisoning having actually occurred from this cause. it would seem that there is much more apparent plausi- bility about the statement than scien- tific accuracy. and that if the death of Senator Davis was in fact due to this cause a chapter will have to be added to the bacteriological knowledge of the present. Dr. William Royal Stokes, city bac. teriologlst. is among those who doubt the possibility of chemical dye becom- ing the active principle In a case of blood poisoning. “i do not know the details of the illness and death of Sen- ator Davis.“ he said. “but I know no reason to justify the statement that dye from colored hosiery could have bad that result. 0n the other hand, i would stay there is positively no such serious danger involved. A certain sue ceptlblllty might result In a local skin irritatidn, which would not by any means result fatally. and chemical eye in contact with an abraded surface might render that surface less impregl liable to pyrogealc bacteria, and might thus become an accessory to the fact of blood poisoning. but that the germ of the malady existed originally in the dye, and that blood poison followed its absorption by the system is to say the least, highly improbable. if not impos- sible. Blood poisoning results from a distinct germ with which the system must become intoxicated. That germ does not exist in chemical dye. and, as I say, the dye could not possibly do more toward producing this malady than the indirect assistance of readers log a cut or wound susceptible to the microbe. “it is a matter of common observe ties that akin emotions are produced by certain varieties of dyed woolen and cotton fabrics, but these are mere lccal affections and far different from an in- oculation. which might be expected to result stally. The most severe poison. ins wl I spend lts force on s localised inflammation. and local application is all that is needed to restore s health! condition of the skin. The wearing of colored hosiery might produce such an effect as this. and i have no doubt that there are some peculiarly suscep- tlble to such local irritations who have found the wearing of these articles nu- posslblo without some suffering and certainly great inconvenience. For she great majority. however, who are not thus attested. i know no reason why they should fear harm from even the most. sandy hose. “Closer investigation. 1 am sure. will bring to llsht another more sclentltl- cally probable theory as to the cause ties for the laying of the blame on .n—s—u-v to with! a watch is a sure full of maple the other day that great ~ . of the fatal illness at senator Davis. .
